I've had this idea rolling around in my head for a while now...

I want to run a D&D campaign in post form. The inspiration for this comes from @fingersik. I'm having a ton of fun playing Dungeons and Steem, and it has me yearning for more Dungeons and Dragons action!

I plan to run a 'dungeon crawl' campaign using the 5e ruleset with a randomly generated map like this one:

Players will have their choice of characters I have pre-built, the first people to "sign up" for the game will have first pick, the last person to sign up may only have 1 or 2 choices, because we will need a diversified party of adventurers to tackle the various challenges and battles that will take place. Players will have full character sheets complete with skills, attacks, inventory, personality, the works. There will be plenty of puzzles, fights, riddles, and potentially life-ending traps... and, hopefully, plenty of prize money to go around!

Each post will encompass one 'Round' of action, where each player decides what their next move will be. I want the game to be fast-paced, If all players respond quickly, there could be multiple posts per day, but I will set a time limit of 72 hours, so we can get in at least a couple rounds per week.

I will need 4-6 brave souls who would like to join the Battleborn Mercenary Guild for excitement, danger, fame, and fortune!

I will also be recruiting 'benchwarmers', ready to take control of any of the characters if a player drops out, stops responding, or dies. If the latter is the case, the benchwarmer will have a choice of characters, and the guild will send another adventurer to help complete the mission if need be. The player who dies will have the option of going into rotation as a benchwarmer, eventually getting a chance to play again as a new character.

I may go so far as to have extra people playing as the enemies, fighting against the heroes. This would depend on the interest of such a venture, and the amount of participation. What would you think about it? Let me know in the comments.

This game will be open to just about anyone, but having experience playing Dungeons & Dragons would be a BIG help, not just to me, but to the other players, and yourself.
If you don't have the rulebooks, you can certainly find them online, but I'll take pictures/screenshots of any pertinent information from my physical and digital copies. You won't need them, but they're always handy to have.

I'll be building and using a random dice roller to conduct this game.

I'll also write a post about it, displaying the guts of the program that will determine your ultimate fate. All DM rolls will be transparent, offering fairness, and eliminating many disputes that exist around dice begore they ever start.

I am a D&D veteran of 20+ years, have watched the game evolve, and have built many homebrew campaigns, stories, lands, and treasures over the span of my life. I want to share some of that with Steemit, because this has come to be my home away from home, and my land of dreams and opportunity.

What do you think? Would you be up for playing some Dungeons & Dragons, and earn STEEM for your roleplaying efforts?

I would need to iron out some fine details, like exactly when and how much a player gets paid, as well as the best format for posting and getting responses, among other things. There will certainly be more posts about this coming soon, so if you want to keep updated on this, you know what to do...

Take a moment to let me know what you think, good or bad, in the comments!
