While your handler is getting you odd guard or labor jobs around the city during the day, you are to keep an ear out at the taverns during the evening for who the organized crime gangs are and if the Zhentarim are planning to displace them.

What is Play by Post?
Play by Post (PBP) is playing using text over email, chat, message boards, etc. It is usually Asynchronous in that everyone does not have to be present at the same time. The players describe what they are doing in writing. The GM describes what happens, rolls attacks, etc. This makes it convenient for anyone to guide their character from anywhere, anytime, with a desktop PC, laptop, or smartphone.

How Will It Work?
You will receive an email invite to our Microsoft Teams site where the text chat and handouts are stored. The characters will describe their actions, place dialogue in quotation marks, and narrate their actions during encounters. The GM will respond in the channel with the results of the character's actions. Combat will be resolved by the GM using Fantasy Grounds.

How to sign up?
PM the GM with a request to join. You will need to provide you email address to log on to the system.
