It is my hope to facilitate a communal play-by-post game of dungeons and dragons using the 5e rules. While I plan on moderating and guiding the game, I want the world, its characters, and the action built by all. I'll be slowly fleshing out general ideas about the world of Arcanos, but I am open to ideas from everyone. I have already discussed a few things with a player, and found the dialogue to be resourceful in shaping the game.
Not everything will be laid out by the time we make characters and then start playing. This is intentional. I encourage people to create concepts, places, and events during character creation that further help shape the game.
Example: Let's say someone wants to play a dwarf-blood cleric revering a war goddess. Two things here. While I may have laid some groundwork for the dwarven-bloodlines, there most likely will be a lot they can add to their general concepts, and definitely specific details relating to their clan, heritage, and home. Likewise, they can create the war goddess herself, give her a name, domains, doctrines, etc.
Additionally, as we play the games, details will be added. If something comes up in a post that's new and worth expounding upon, I'll do my best to add it in before advancing the game. At the very least, at some point it will be added to the World of Arcanos section.
All that being said, until we roll up characters, consider the forum in a state of flux and development. I'll be adding and editing things regularly (hopefully daily). If you have any questions or things you'd like to add, either talk to me next time we meet, or post it in the Player notes section.
