Play-By-Post ExampleLet's see what a game might look like between our pretend members GMJeff, Andy-Android, Gems_Are_Outrageous, and Pl4ntLyf3.GMJeff: Welcome to our example game! You all start off in the small town of Tappenfield, in a tavern called the Antsy Dancer. It's a one-story building with only a half-dozen tables for patrons. The walls are covered in tapestries, and from the wooden walls you can see behind them, they're probably there to cover up the holes in the walls.
A robust halfling lady hobbles over to your table with mugs of ale.
"Sorry the ale's such poor quality," she says. "Goblins 'ave been raidin' trade wagons lately. They probably don't even appreciate the good ale they been stealin'"Pl4ntLyf3: A beautiful wood elf named Sylfin takes the mug and downs it with a belch.
"Sounds like the Goblins are asking for a beating. Who steals ale??"Andy-Android: Figgin is a rugged dwarf wearing white cleric garb. He sniffs at his ale and pushes it towards Sylfin.
"All yours, ye lush," he says with a chuckle.
"I denno how ye can down that swill. And I agree. Thiefin' ale is a cardinal sin."Pl4ntLyf3: Sylfin grabs Figgin's rejected mug and starts chugging that, too.
Gems_Are_Outrageous: My character is a halfling who calls himself Thumbs. He wears a leather cloak, black slacks, and a dark violet jerkin. He tries to hide his grimace as he drinks some of the ale. He says
"Ok that sounds good, where can we find the goblins?"GMJeff: Pl4ntLyf3, give me a constitution roll to see how well you handle that much ale that fast.
The halfling lady looks pleasantly surprised by your group's willingness to help with the goblin problem.
"Aye, you can find 'em along the road. I would bet one of the merchants who lost their goods would happily take ye along as a guard detail. He's sittin' at that table over there," and she points at a downtrodden looking half-elf seated alone at a table.
Pl4ntLyf3:
Am I drunk yet?! 1d20-1 : 14 - 1, total 13
Andy-Android:
"Sounds like a fine plan!" Figgin exclaims.
"Thumbs, let's go cheer up this merchant."
