Ready adventurers! Meet us at the Stonehill Inn in the town of Phandelin. This remote mining town needs talented individuals willing to take on tasks necessary for the town’s survival. There’s also political intrigue afoot, so don’t cross the wrong person - or maybe do! All the while, something is brewing up on Icespire Peak, and it’s upsetting the balance of life down on the Sword Coast below.
Game: D&D 5e 2024
Group type: Asynchronous Play-by-Post using Discord and Avrae Dice Bot
No DND experience is required - this is a good opportunity to learn the game in a slower-paced, low-stakes environment.
An ability to write well and clearly in English - for PbP, some degree of writing skill is essential for you to be able to role-play your character well and communicate clearly to others.
Some comfort with technology - we will use the Avrae dice roller (Discord bot), which requires some medium-level complexity commands. I will work with players unfamiliar with them, but there also needs to be a willingness to learn. You may also use Tupperbox for character aliasing if you’d like.
Location/Timezone: Asynchronous play makes this not very relevant, but DM is in the US Central timezone
Schedule:24/7 from anywhere - dedicated to posting at least once a day (with exceptions)
Roles sought: Players interested in building and writing creative storylines for their characters.
Game style: This campaign will begin with a semi-homebrewed version of Dragon of Icespire Peak, with more overarching themes and intrigue than the published module. It makes a good PbP campaign, as there are a bunch of mini-adventures that make dropping in and out easier. The leveling-up also happens pretty quickly (milestone-based), designed to get you to level 6 or 7. If the party wishes to continue, other Sword Coast campaigns (Storm Lord's Wrath, Sleeping Dragon's Wake, and Divine Contention) are designed as a follow-up.
This is a Play-by-Post (PbP) campaign that takes place entirely asynchronously in Discord chat. Ignore that date/time listings (those are for billing purposes only - you can contribute to the game 24/7). If you are unfamiliar with PbP campaigns, here are some things that make them unique from live sessions:
Action can be slower - expect scenes to play out over days rather than hours, but the narrative can be richer.
There is more focus on role play, but because of the pacing, there’s more time to plan your PC’s contribution.
Player initiative is prioritized - although sometimes the DM will ask for checks/saves, players are encouraged to roll themselves to keep the pace moving.
