the magical equivalent to the number zero
Having played in many PbP games, I’ve finally decided to try my hand at online DMing. I’ve done some offline DMing but this is going to be my digital maidenvoyage, so to speak, with the play-by-post games, so please bear with me. The one shot format ought to be the right way to find out if this suits me or not.
Baron Joaquim Wildhurst knows that much of his wealth and power can be directly attributed to his dealings with a mysterious society that he has worked with for years. Throughout his career they tutored him in the finer points of diplomacy and manipulation, and he always suspected they were behind his extraordinary good fortune. With the death of his elder brother, Joaquim began to think that his patrons may have cleared his path to the crown. The baron wants to know who he has been allied with for all these years and seeks to hire a party of adventurers who, under the cover of a different mission, are sent to investigate...
So there it is: You are invited for dinner by the baron, where you and the others will be tasked with helping a nearby town.
I am looking for 4-5 players with level 1 characters, generated using the One Shot guidelines (link; from any of the groups as long as it fits the story). Please post your character in that thread if it isn’t already. For more information about the One Shots, go to this link.
Describe briefly what your connection to the baron is; why does he know and trust you? PCs with noble backgrounds could be childhood friends or trading partners; (former) criminals could be pardoned once by the baron and therefore in his debt. Warriors could have been associated with the palace guard; scholars could have had their education sponsored by the baron. Feel free to come up with a reason that makes sense to you and your character.
Come and get it!
Players:
1. TallIan: Gorir Orebelt, dwarven cleric (soldier)
2. eayres33: Traubon Dankil, dwarven wizard (sage)
3. KahlessNestor: Magdalena Ambers, human paladin (acolyte)
4. Azurewraith: James Hermain, half-elf rogue (criminal)
5. EarlyBird: Thadius Riegn Westbrook the Third, tiefling barbarian (noble)
