Since the very first time I read (if I remember correctly) the 1st edition Dungeon Master's Guide back in the 80s, I was enraptured by the example of actual play therein, a script showing how the DM and players interacted as the characters explored some dungeon or another. While today we have an interweb and sites like the YouTubes and such packed with videos of actual play, there's something to be said for a written transcript which makes for a good reference and a touchstone for discussions about roleplaying techniques we can learn from one another.
After conducting Session Zero and having in-depth character discussions, my group of WotC forum regulars started to play some D&D 5e using Roll20. These are 10th-level characters engaged in a re-imagining of Monte Cook's D&D 3e adventure, "Demon God's Fane." Part of our goal with this game - other than having a good time and telling some exciting, memorable stories - is to create actual play transcripts that we can share with the community. I'm posting these transcripts so that new DMs can get a feel for how a typical game might play out and so that old DMs can pick up a few tricks of the trade that might be suitable for their own tables.

I welcome your constructive feedback and questions and I will post updated transcripts weekly as we play.
