Adventure-World Overview:

In the shattered realm of Ardenthall, the floating islands drift on the brink of oblivion, held together only by the fading power of the Heartstone. As adventurers, you are drawn to this ancient and fragmented world by dreams, prophecies, and the whispers of fate. Your journey will lead you across the perilous Azure Expanse, through the verdant Wilds, and atop the highest peaks to uncover the secrets of the Sundering and the potential to heal the fractured realm.

Expect a world where the very ground beneath your feet may shift, where ancient magic flows as freely as the winds, and where the remnants of a once-great civilization hold the keys to Ardenthall’s salvation or its final doom. You will navigate between islands on glowing bridges of magic, encounter beings born from the essence of the world itself, and face challenges that will test your courage, wisdom, and strength.

Your journey will not only reveal the mysteries of Ardenthall but also the true nature of your destinies, as the fate of the Shattered Realms rests in your hands. Will you unite the fragments of this broken world, or will you become yet another echo in the annals of its storied past?

What is a “RPG”? What is “PBP”?:

If you’re completely new to RPGs, RPG = Role Playing Game. In an RPG, you create a character that allows you to explore the world and interact with other individuals to tell a story. PBP = Play by Post; which means that you will “roleplay” as your character by typing up what they say or do. If this is still confusing, no worries! I will teach you how to create a character on D&D Beyond and how to play Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition in Discord. And ff that’s intimidating, I will provide pre-generated character so that you can jump in and immediately play.

Game Logistics

This format/game has no set session time; it’s a 24/7 roleplay experience within a text format. Players and GM communicate in a chat channel and narrate in a separate and dedicated channel for immersion. The GM (me) will set the scene and then players explain how their characters react and what they say and do, and then the GM explains the effect of their words and actions, often with return dialogue, and this continues.

What Players Need:

• One (1) free Discord account
• One (1) free profile on D&D Beyond
• The desire to use one’s imagination

What the GM Provides:

• Additional access to content on D&D Beyond
• A robust set of channels with a sophisticated system to deliver a great PBP experience
• Visuals of NPCs, monsters, and maps
• 24/7 access to me (the GM) with any questions, ideas, and thoughts about the game
• Character Builder PDF

Character Creation Guidelines:

No restrictions, but there are 3 main races based upon the current lore: Humans, Dwarves, and Elves. With that being said, there are different islands with different people, culture, and nuisances. I encourage each player to play what they want to play as and to use this game as an opportunity to try out that character concept you’ve always wanted.

Player character stats will be determined using Standard Array or Point Buy. If you don’t know what these are, don’t worry – I’ll be able to explain!

Lastly, I provide as many “Session 0’s” as you need to feel comfortable in the game-world. These will be done before our session and at any time YOU need them.
