Play by Post Game for Beginners Looking for Players!

Hello All,

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 3am 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. =P (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.

i would want to join! i am completely new to this to yeah

Welcome aboard Ikimaji. Looks like it might be a little slow to fill up this time around, I'll PM you when we're ready to go.

thank you!!

I’ve been toying with the idea of getting back into DnD for a while now, but only just discovered DnDByond. I played over *cough* twenty years ago when I was in High School... yup I’m “old”. I see things have changed a bit since then so you may as well consider new player, though I suspect it’ll be like riding a bike. I rolled a character the “old fashioned” way (4d6) but happy to create a new one using standard points if that is what you prefer. Still figuring out all the mechanics of DnDBeyond. 

i would love to join this, if i could! a friend got me into a podcast at the start of this year and i feel like i have the general mechanics of the game down, but getting a better handle on those, the rules, and the opportunity to learn to play a more magical class (than say a rogue which seems to be an easier class to start) would be great. i am several sessions into what's supposed to be a longterm campaign which has helped with the grasp of mechanics, but i'm really flying by the seat of my pants there, if i'm honest. i love to write, so character creation itself doesn't seem to be an issue, just getting the chance and learning to use them does haha

I’m interested. Haven’t played d&d for 20+ years. Looking to get back into it. Checking out this site...

Ok, ikimaji, Zalmanni, almonster and Sam1am96 are all in. Just waiting on 1 more to complete the group, make sure to create your characters and join this campaign.

Next person to reply gets the last slot. Thanks for you interest, all.

Hi there, I've never done a play by post, actually really new to DnD beyond, but not new to D&D 5e. Was wondering if I could steal your last slot. ^^; 

Sure thing, Cherimage. Ok, all, we're full up. Go ahead and have your characters join the campaign and I'll check them to make sure they're ok. 

So, are we waiting on Ikimagi now? Never mind. There you are. 

I'm super new to this too, I would like to join

Ask Stiffkick80. We already have 5 players but it hasn’t begun yet. 

Is it ok if I join? Idk if it’s too late but I would like to know this better since I’m very new.

Is this still open?

Ok, since we have so much interest, I'm going to go ahead and run 2 groups. Ayino, kbav and stink, you're all in. 2 more slots folks, first 2 to reply are in, but after that it's closed for reals this time. :) You three Please join this campaign:
