I'm going to be running a new group through a little newbie One-Shot known as The Delian Tomb. Please don't read the other threads if you'd like to play in this one. This is a very basic adventure just meant to help you learn the mechanics, rules, and get an idea of how to play so you can go into a long-term game with a little experience under your belt.
Here's what I'm looking for:
Brand new players who have been watching videos, listening to podcasts, reading blogs, etc, related to D&D and are now excited to give it a shot for the first time. I would expect you to have done some basic research to know how to play, but anything you don't know I will help you figure out. If you have played more than once or twice before I'd respectfully ask you to let the brand new folks have this one.
Be able to post Once per Day. I usually update around 1am Pacific Time, it's Play by Post so keep in mind it's going to be a little bit slow going and it's likely some people will drop out. I'll try to keep the game flowing, though.
Basic races only (nothing more exotic than Dragonborn). Any regular class is fine. Put a little thought into your character, give them some sort of personality and try to get into the RP mindset.
Overly flowery prose is not required. In fact, you might even say it's frowned upon. We don't need to read 2 paragraphs about the wind flowing through your hair. Not to say you can't get descriptive in your RP, just don't overdo it.
Proper spelling and grammar IS required! Sorry, personal pet peeve of mine. If you use certain words (such as: your, you're, their, there and they're) incorrectly I will give you disadvantage on all of your rolls in the next combat. (Not really, but still...)
Standard Points Array, no need to worry too much about items, I'll assume everyone has food and the basics, etc. Starting at level 1. You will be using the Character Generator on this site. Please make sure to remember to EQUIP your armor and weapons or else your stats will be off.
First 5 to reply are in. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck, all.
New player here - still reading the basic rules, but I get the idea (pretty much). Would be interested in joining your game, have a character but not sure what platform you use to play?
Ok, I may regret this, but I've decided to go ahead and run 2 games at the same time. That means we have room for TWO (2) MORE as of now. Next two people to respond are in. Anyone who doesn't make the cutoff, I'm really sorry.
I got a few DMs, so I just want to clear something up: We won't be using Discord or anything like that, the game will be hosted on the Play by Post Forum of this site. I will send out PMs with campaigns for both groups. Please create your character here on this site. Along the top, Creations, Create a Character, then follow the instructions for Standard. Remember, only basic races and classes.
The game takes about a month to a month and a half. Please make sure you understand that it won't go fast, but you also have the advantage that you can play at your own pace/time as long as you check the thread at least 1x a day. I'm in PST and I work swing shifts, so most updates will happen around 1am Pacific.
