Want to see how a campaign is made? Or just want to join us for some adventure?
I'm starting up a new play-by-post game over on Discord.
The first step is choosing an Opportunity, a premise for the initial adventure. I'm suggesting we start with one of these:
- Establishing a new community in the wilderness.
- Avoiding the law to survive as smugglers.
- Searching for a lost treasure.
- Protecting a remote outpost on the frontier.
- Leading the conquest of a poorly-understood country.
- Following a falling star to where it lands.
Once the players have chosen an opportunity to start with, we'll answer a few questions about the party, then we'll jump right into the adventure.
Meanwhile, I'll be posting on the behind-the-scenes channel about how the world is actually being made, as I roll everything up on random tables. Last time we tried this it was a lot of fun, and as the GM, I enjoyed being surprised by the nature of the world unfolding around us as we adventured.
The game is going to focus on the fiction of the world, leaving aside any number-crunching and die-rolling mechanics for now. (I'm interested in those, but that's not the focus of this playthrough.)
Feel free to drop in and out, or just watch if you like. We're leaving the size of the party somewhat vague, so players can come and go as needed.
