Seeking one 4th level adventurer to join a campaign in progress! Dragon fire threatens to consume Faerûn! Do you dare oppose the Cult of the Dragon and resist the might of Tiamat, Queen of Dragons?
Read through the rest of this post thoroughly, and if you are interested, follow the instructions to apply.
About The Adventure:
- Setting: The Forgotten Realms (Faerûn)
- This adventure is equal parts roleplay, combat, and exploration.
- Hoard of the Dragon Queen is a half-length campaign. Games of this length typically take 2-3 years in this format. Please do not apply if you believe there is a chance that you cannot commit to this length of time.
- You only need to commit to Hoard of the Dragon Queen. I do plan to roll forward into Rise of Tiamat, its sequel campaign, but you do not need to commit to the entirety of the Tyranny of Dragons campaign.
About The DM & House Rules:
- I run a number of campaigns on this site, and have many years of experience DMing both in person and online. I have run PbP adventures that last a few months, and some that have been ongoing for years. This adventure has been in progress for almost 3 years now.
- My typical pace is to resolve actions and advance the adventure once each day or two. When you apply, please send me a PM that includes the word “Wyrmspeaker” to ensure the player I select is attentive to others' posts and reads them thoroughly.
- I want PbP to be simple and flow easily. To accomplish this, I do not use grids, and I use grouped initiative to reduce the need to wait on players to post in a specific order.
- I do not use any averages. All health and damage is rolled, for both players and monsters. All of my rolls are made using the forum dice roller for visibility.
- Characters can die in my campaigns. Though it has not happened often, I do not fudge rolls. Reckless actions (i.e., charging headlong into an army) do have realistic consequences.
How To Apply:
- If you are any less than absolute certain that you can commit to completing this adventure (a period of a few years), please do not apply.
- Rolling for stats is preferred, but Standard Array and Point Buy are also accepted for determining ability scores. See below about guidelines on rolling.
- Reply to this thread or send me a PM with your application. Please include the 1) race/class you would like to play, 2) a short background summary, and 3) your method of determining ability scores (include rolls if rolling).
- All content used must be available to you through D&D Beyond. No Unearthed Arcana or homebrew will be accepted.
- If you are rolling for stats, those rolls must be made here or in a PM. Re-rolling your array will only be allowed if there are no ability scores above 13. There are no other exceptions. If you are not comfortable with that risk, please use the Standard Array or Point Buy. To make those rolls, use [ roll ] 4d6dl1 [ /roll ] (without the spaces). Do not re-roll 1s. I don't know if people do this accidentally or if they do it to try and sneak it by me, but it happens a lot. I do examine all rolls.
- Your character's backstory can be as light or heavy as you would like, but I will be working with you to tailor the backstory to the setting of this campaign, so be open to adjusting bits and pieces.
- To help ease your character into the story, your backstory should allow for two things:
Your character should be friendly to the Harpers and the Order of the Gauntlet, if not affiliated directly with them.
Your character will be joining a caravan that is currently on the road from Baldur's Gate to Waterdeep
(Optional) Your character may already be opposed to the Cult of the Dragon.
I will let applications trickle in for at least a day before making any decisions, and will update the thread here when a decision has been made (so if you do not see a message from me saying the table has been filled, feel free to apply). If you've read to this point and are interested in joining, thanks and happy gaming!
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
What's the current composition of the party? That is, if you're just trying to slot 1 character into the party, is there a particular role that the party would prefer to fill (healer, front-line melee, skill expert, etc.)?

I am interested in going the distance for a campaign. My preferred class is as a fighter/samurai (eventually). Human, backstory is that of a Knight of the Order, my stats will be rolled:
Placeholder. I'm very interested but I need to make sure I'll be able to commit to the long haul.
Character would be a Half-Elven ranger1 / bard3 (college of lore) who lives in Baldur's Gate and has ties to the Harpers. Since I'm risk averse with character creation I'll most likely go with standard array.
I'm interested, I've been looking for another campaign for my Ardana, my L4 Tiefling Paladin, point buy, that went L1-4 in another campaign on this site.
The table has been filled. Thanks as always to everyone who applied, it's monstrously difficult to choose just one player out of nearly twenty applicants, and I hope everyone gets to put their awesome character ideas to the test in a game soon.
