Description

Howdy all! I'm dipping my toes into paid DMing by running a live text game of Way of the Wicked--a D&D5e conversion of the Pathfinder module where the party gets to play as the bad guys for a change! For those unfamiliar, the first book of Way of the Wicked entails our villainous party escaping from an infamous prison, joining a cult, then destroying the last bastion holding back an invading force of bugbears, taking them from levels 1 to 5. Depending on how the group feels, I may continue the game after level 5 as there are additional books that take the campaign up to level 20. This is a LIVE TEXT game! That means that players will all be available at the set session time every week for 3-4 hour sessions but all in-character narration and out-of-character communication is done via text through Discord. We'll also be using Foundry VTT for rolls and combat/battle maps. You will need a computer in order to use Foundry, it does not work well on mobile. You do not have to make an account or anything to use Foundry, it runs in your browser. This is a PAID game! I am charging $15 per player per session and I anticipate this campaign to take at least five sessions but given the slightly slower pace of live text compared to voiced sessions, it may run up to eight or more. We will play at 3 PM Mountain Time every Saturday and Session 0 will be free. This is my first time running a paid game and the first time using StartPlaying so if the price point or the time slot doesn't work for you, please shoot me a message on Discord to let me know what would work for you and I may be able to adjust the time/price depending on the responses I get as I've got a little bit of wiggle room. About Me I've been playing in and GMing TTRPGs for about eight years now, almost entirely in live text and asynchronous pbp games as I feel I'm a much better writer than I am an orator. I enjoy text games as I feel I can deliver a more complete picture of locations, scenarios, and characters, including the details that might go unnoticed in a standard voiced game. I also will use pictures as visual references where applicable. Most if not all of the images come from the book, they are not AI generated. I have run this module before via play by post so I am very familiar with the source material and can provide a quality experience that is hopefully worth paying for. Interested in playing? If this seems like your cup of tea, please message me for more information. If you have any questions, please message me here! I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

I run games exclusively via text and my ideal format is live text, where everyone sits down for 3-4 hours like a regular session but the narration and communication is all through text.

Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
Campfire embers are the last thing you remember. Whether you were traveling alone or guarding a merchant caravan, the wilderness suddenly went dead silent. Then came the masked attackers—too many, too coordinated, and overwhelmingly lethal. Your camp was slaughtered. But you? You were taken. You awaken in darkness, bound in heavy chains deep underground. If you ever want to feel the sun on your face again, you and your fellow captives must forge a desperate alliance, break free, and survive an escape that will spiral into a world-spanning epic. PRICE: $20 (through PayPal or Venmo) / Session —> Session 0 is free and the first official session is 50% off. The price is negotiable, but everyone at the table's gotta pay the same thing so it's fair.   I also offer "bundles" at a discounted rate. WHAT YOU GET: —> you get to embark on a full homebrew campaign spanning from levels 2 to high teens (possibly even level 20) campaign with personal character arcs tailored to your character’s backstories woven in with the overall narrative. —> there is also an artist in my server that will do a frww character portrait art for each new character in the server SCHEDULE: Sundays (weekly) starting at 10am PST. Games will run 4-5 hours. ---> I will be running this game additional days of the week. Same campaign, different players on the following days and times: --------> Tuesdays starting 1030am PST --------> Wednesdays starting at 1030am PST --------> Thursday (Bi Weekly) starting at 230 PST --------> Fridays starting at 1030am PST Just tying to fill up one table at a time. WHERE: the game will be played on Foundry VTT whith voice chat done through Discord. —> I have a new server for the purposes of hosting my games as well as creating a new D&D community SAFETY FIRST: A supportive environment is a priority. Players will fill out a quick RPG Comfort Questionnaire featuring a Lines & Veils section to ensure everyone has a safe, fantastic time at the virtual table. OTHER DETAILS: —> To perfectly fit the unique history and regions of Wysteria, your starting character must be a non-PHB (Player's Handbook) species. This only for your first character, —> we will be using the primarily the 2024 ruleset with some favored 2014 mechanics in addition to various homebrew rules that will be discussed at Session 0 Ready to see the sun again? Send a direct message to @acedespadas on Discord or directly here for to inquire for more. If you’re a great fit for the table, I’ll send over the lore primers and everything you need to start building your character! A BIT ABOUT ME: Hello, my name is Aron, I’m 34 and I started playing this game as the forever DM just before COVID hit and have been DMing multiple weekly games since. I am for the most part fairly introverted which this hobby has helped deal with, and while I may not do all the little funny voices (it’s a thing I’m working on) I’m a sucker for the Rule of Cool and a good story! And what better story then one you build together as a collaboration with other like minded individuals?! Outside of D&D my interests revolve heavily around music, movies, and other general nerd things
