Hi everyone-
An Invitation!
I’m recruiting for a new play-by-post game using the not-yet-released published adventure, Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk. We have a few players already, but we're looking for one or two more. Would you like to join us?
Obviously, this is a big leap of faith for me. I haven't yet read or seen the adventure, as it will not be released until Tuesday! I will be reading it quickly, following it as written, in the spirit the authors intended, without unnecessary changes. Fingers crossed! We will start with the first adventure, for first-level characters, and see how far we go from there.
The game will live entirely in this forum on D&D Beyond. There will be a separate text-only Discord server for out-of-character chat. (If you’re not a Discord user, don’t fret - it’s not critical and we’ll help you set it up. It’s very easy.)
We want to recruit consistent, committed, even-keeled, imaginative players to our game. You should be able to make a short post at least once a day, six or seven days a week. (Of course, we understand that there may be times when real life intervenes and you may have to occasionally step away.) Brand-new players, and folks new to play-by-post (PBP), are very welcome!
We follow 5e rules-as-written: standard rulebooks, nothing too exotic.
How to apply: You DON’T need to roll your character’s ability scores yet, or even decide upon your class or race or any character details yet. (But here’s a preview: You’ll start off at first level, and draw from the Player’s Handbook, or possibly Volo’s, Mordenkainen’s, or Xanathar’s. No homebrew or exotic stuff – sorry!) Instead, PM me a little info about yourself and your potential character personality ideas:
1. Tell me a little about your D&D and play-by-post background. Just curious to learn more about you! Again, new 5e players and new PBP players are very welcome.What brought you to this post?
2. Next, tell me a little about the kind of character you might consider for this adventure - not so much your class and stats, but more your potential character's personality and style. Beyond the usual “traits”, how do you want to play this character? Who do you want to be? Tell us a little about your character’s quirks. Let’s make this fun!
I DON’T need: • Ability Scores: Not yet - We’ll worry about that later. • Character sheets. Not yet. Soon!
Application deadline: How about, say, about 48 hours after I post this? (Monday 2:00 PM EDT UTC-04)
We hope you can join us! PM me with any questions or concerns.

Thanks everyone!
We had 20 good players apply for only 1 or 2 seats at our table... It'll certainly be a tough decision!
I intend to let everyone know our decisions via PM no later than Wednesday.
Thanks again for your interest!

P.S. We need more PBP DMs! Ever thought of DMing your own adventure at your own pace here on the forums? Give it a go!
