Welcome curious adventurer! Dread Marches in Sion is a play-by-post is a Dungeons and Dragons, 3.5e game incorporating house rules, set in my homebrew world of Sion.
About the Campaign
This campaign will be set on the continent of Mgorongoro (http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums.../World of Sion/Maps/Mgorongoro_1.jpg~original) in the Commonealth of Athenea (http://sion.obsidianportal.com/wikis/commonwealth-of-athenea), specifically in the state of Dreadhelm (http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums...rld of Sion/Maps/Eastern Athenea.png~original) in the east. Dread Marches in Sion is a secondary campaign playing alongside the primary campaign; Dark Days in Sion (Which is also run here on EN World).
Characters begin at 4th level, posting frequency is every 48 hours.
How the game is Played
I organize the game kind of like a play, dividing the posts into Acts and Scenes to make it easier to keep track of. Typically, one scene lasts for 10-12 pages of posts. After 1-5 Scenes I will start a new Act. We use myth-weavers.com for character sheets, and rolz.org for dice-rolling.
I have created an OOC page here on ENworld where you can see the current game status, list of players, and more information about how the game is played. Here is the link: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?508170-Dread-Marches-in-Sion-pbp-START-HERE!
A little about myself
I have been gaming for over twenty years and DM'ing for about half that time. I started with AD&D at age 11 and eventually made the switch to third edition in my 20's. I had no interest in 4e or 5e, and honestly I really don't plan on learning any other editions at this point. I looked at Pathfinder for a minute, but I don't like Golarion as a setting and many of changes they made to the base D&D material seem just silly and unnecessary. I'm told at least one of my house rules apparently copied pathfinder, so I am open minded about rules that make sense. Switching to online gaming occurred out out necessity because I moved a lot and that was the only way to find players on a regular basis.
About the setting
Sion is a dangerous world with lots of intrigue and adventure to enjoy. I have created several unique races, monsters and classes (besides the usual standards) to make things more interesting. It is a world with lots of history involving a variety of realms. I'm also proud to say I encourage players to come to me with world-building ideas to help me fully flesh it out.
World data and house rules are posted up on Obsidian Portal. Please take a look at what the world of Sion has to offer and how the house rules make 3.5e more versatile and exciting. https://sion.obsidianportal.com/wikis/main-page

Great! First thing to do is send me a private message or email me (crowsontheskulls@gmail.com) Don't worry if you aren't already an expert at D&D 3.5e or have a ton of prior online roleplaying experience. Myself and the other players are happy to help.
What you should expect?
Expect to have fun! Play by Post games are a great way to combine a love for writing with a penchant for roleplaying. When several people get their heads together they can weave a very grand story indeed! Also, this sort of game isn't as taxing on your free time as a live-action game is because everyone's schedule may differ, yet the game will go on regardless! That's the beauty of play-by-post (pbp)
Another great thing about pbp is how all the posts are stored here on the forum for others to follow like an ongoing novel. In that sense, pbp is more fulfilling and really gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment.
What I expect
I expect players to treat each other with courtesy and respect. I expect meaningful contributions to the game on a reasonably frequent basis. (On average, a new post within 48 hours of your last post shouldn't be too much to ask.) My posts may not be as frequent as those of the players, but that's because I have a much harder job behind the scenes as the DM. I also expect my players to pay attention and communicate any questions/concerns with me before they make a bad post. Beyond that, I am pretty easy going.
