In case of downtime and/or emergency, we will post updates on @DosDude@mastodon.social

Some rules we try to uphold:

  • Be civil. Bigotry is not welcome. This includes (but is not limited to): transphobia, queerphobia, racism, ageism and ableism. We do not promote hate.
  • Communities need to be Retro or Retro-adjacent.
  • Please don't upload pornographic content. (use an external image host for that)

You might be better off trying to get people to hop on a discord server or using an online dnd campaign service. Unless your goal is to stretch campaigns out as long as possible. Which is fun in its own right That being said, I would probably take part in a long form dnd run

I'd be interested in playing a long-form play-by-post campaign too.

LemND for a name suggestion. Yeah I think if you mention play by post in the name it will more likely attract people who will understand what it is and how to play. Just my two pence.

Thanks i took your suggestion!

a possible way to do it is to have players list the skill they want to use and have the dm roll.

I honestly enjoyed in person games where the dm rolled. allowed players to concentrate on rp and gave the dm more leeway to fudge if necessary.
