PBP Game of Madness, Mayhem, and Myth. Welcome to The Arena, where genre is a lie, reality is optional, and survival is never guaranteed. This is a play-by-post battle encounter—sometimes a one-shot, sometimes a recurring nightmare. Each session is a handcrafted crucible of chaos, where I unleash whatever twisted creation I dream up like:
- A fantasy coliseum drenched in blood and sand
- A sci-fi derelict crawling with alien horrors
- A battle royale with collapsing terrain and shifting alliances
- Or maybe… you’re face-to-face with The Mask, Pennywise, or some other pop culture nightmare dragged into combat against your will
You won’t know what’s coming. You won’t be prepared. But you will fight.
Approved Source Material, Players may use content from: — **Player’s Handbook (PHB)** — 2014 & 2024 editions — **Dungeon Master’s Guide (DMG)** — 2014 & 2024 editions — **Xanathar’s Guide to Everything (XGE)** — **Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything (TCE)** — **Eberron: Rising from the Last War (ERftLW)** — **Spelljammer: Adventures in Space (SAiS)**
Partnered content (e.g. Critical Role, Magic: The Gathering, Plane Shift) is allowed **by DM approval**. Homebrew (custom races, subclasses, feats, items) must be submitted for review and approval before use.
Style:Genre-fluid, cinematic, brutal, and unpredictable
Format: Discord-based PBP and Roll 20 for Maps.
Characters:One-shots with potential for recurring PCs and PVP
Design Philosophy: I build the madness. You survive it—or die trying.
Tone: Fast-paced, dramatic, and gleefully bloody. !!Content warning!! for possible blood, gore, fear and body horror. 18+ only.
Whether you’re a tactician, a roleplay junkie, or just want to see if your character can survive a showdown with a xenomorph riding a beholder… this is your stage. Your fate is mine to craft. Your victory is yours to earn. Your death? That’s just good storytelling.
If interested let's say we start with some level 14 characters for this one and it'll be a battle royale maybe solos maybe not we will see. fill out their sheet on beyond all the traits etc. and post the link here. I'll start up as soon as we have a few players, but I will always have room for some more.
(is this a restart of the recent Ludus Mordis recruiting thread, or one that would involve a second playgroup? In either case, I'd like to reapply with the tabaxi artificer I put up for the first one, Ryshraxea "Shra" Asabar, unless there was something about her that would be a problem for this world. Otherwise, please do give her a thought)

Hmmm, not sure why ... I just clicked it and it took me to my character sheet. Let me repost it as a straight link so you have a visual of the sheet number at least even if this repost doesn't work either https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/151687848
