[h2][center]The Tyranny Of Dragons[/center][/h2]
The town of Greenrest was founded by the halfling Dharva Scatterheart, a rogue who fancied herself the queen of the Greenfields. Scatterheart passed away without ever achieving that level of eminence, but her town grew into a thriving community. Its success isn't surprising, since Greenrest is the only town of any size astride the Uldoon Trail, the most direct road between the eastern cities of the Dragon Coast, Cormyr, and Sembia with the Coast Way running south to the great cities of Amn, Tethyr, and far Calimshan. The trade caravans that pass through Greenrest bring gold to the town's merchants, and Governor Nighthill runs the town at the behest of the inhabitants. This is your destination

You, the players, have been hired as guards by a brother and sister - Sebastian and Cassandra, who look to be young humans, joined your journey with theirs in Baldur's Gate. One way or another, you have found yourself in their employ. Perhaps Cassandra saw you practising your spellcraft in the streets. Perhaps Sebastian caught you trying to steal from their room. Perhaps they approached you after you alone stood as the victor of a bar fight. [i]How[/i] matters little. But [i]who[/i] is a question you've yet to find an answer to. And they've promised to pay extra for your silence. After all, thirty gold each is no small sum.

You headed south from Baldur's Gate, headed for Greenrest by way of Candlekeep - which Sebastian visited briefly, though you did not stay for long. Ever since, you have been travelling along the road, with the only threat being merchants and peddlers hoping to sell you something as you crossed paths. Only one more day remains until you reach the town of Greenrest... and a warm meal, a soft bed, and a town to explore.

Hiya... so, I'm a [i]relatively[/i] experienced player of D&D, and I say that because I have an excellent understanding of most of the mechanics, but I've played in/ran only a small handful of games. And this would be my first time attempting to run a play-by-post game, so I can't guarantee fancy maps or anything of the sort; if any maps at all ^^;

I can promise that I will [i]try[/i] to keep things detailed, engaging, and fun; I believe myself to be a talented writer, and that has translated to other forms of RP on the website. I do have real life obligations, and they sometimes occupy my mind to the point where I forget to check the guild. However, if this does garner enough interest, I have no intention of leaving my players hanging.

The Tyranny of Dragons is a published Wizards of the Coast adventure that comes in two parts - Hoard of the Dragon Queen is the first part and is the beginning of your journey. There's actually already a game running here on the guild. The adventure as a whole will take you from 1st level to 15th. I welcome players both old and new, and I'm okay with most any content officially released by WOTC, so if you want to apply, run it by me, first.

I also operate on a strict Game-Info-is-Need-To-Know; the information I have detailing the basis of the game will be mine and mine alone until the story dictates it is yours to know. I will give you, as players, some knowledge regarding the world around you and what will happen in the game, as well as answering any questions about things you've gone through in the past. Backstories and character elements need to be approved by me, and you'll need to provide a copy of a character sheet in the thread or through a Private Message (PDFs, Myth-Weavers, and DiceCloud are all good options). There are story traits that you can take in addition to your character; if you would like to tie your character more closely to the story, and not just be a character that appeared incidentally, let me know.

[center][h3]Rules[/h3]
[hider=][b]Rule #1)[/b] I shouldn't really have to say this, but [b]NO METAGAMING[/b]. Nobody here is a total idiot - I'm very much aware that there's a lot of information out there on the internet, and it's not too hard to find what you're looking for. If anyone gets a funny idea about looking up the story or the stats, then I'll apply an immediate penalty to their character, if I don't ask you to leave.
[b]Rule #2)[/b] In the same vein, DO NOT modify your character sheet without my prior knowledge, and DO NOT do so in a way that grants additional bonuses. Anyone that breaks this rule will be removed from the game instantly.
[b]Rule #3)[/b] Post quality and rates are something I am flexible on, within a reasonable margin. Yes, good writing wins you points, but more importantly, poor grammar and spelling lose points. In a post, I expect at least a decent sized paragraph, if not more. All players are asked to post at least twice a week - including the DM. If circumstances prevent you from doing so, I need to be told. If players consistently hold up the game, then I will need to reevaluate whether they are suitable for my expected rate of play.
[b]Rule #4)[/b] Get along, please, with each other and me. I want us all to have fun here, and if there's animosity in the mix, that's a lot less likely. These rules are in place so that we can [i]avoid[/i] things that ruin our fun. If you have concerns regarding another player, PM me about it, but otherwise, leave it to me.[/hider]
