Tales from the Yawning Portal

I'm thinking of starting a Yawning Portal game. I'm hoping for players who haven't been through it yet, though I know that might be difficult since it's been out for a while. We would start at level 1 and progress through each adventure.

I'm pretty much just planning on running it as a dungeon delve with little to connect each adventure or to justify the characters' motivations. Of course, if the players choose to go all-out on RP, that will certainly be accommodated.

If you'd like to join, leave a note here letting me know your level of 5e and play-by-post experience and whether you'd be able to commit to 7 to 10 posts a week. Don't bother with character concepts; I prefer players work on that together. I'll wait a few days for responses then choose six players more or less at random. Dungeon delves are a good way for those new to 5e (and/or new to play-by-post) to get their feet wet, so I'll probably make a list of experienced players and inexperienced players and randomly choose three from each.

I haven't been through it.

I've played/DM'd for about 6 years. I've been on here for a few months, but I am pretty good about posting during the week. Weekends are not great for me to post though.

I haven't been through it yet, although my daughter has dropped a few minor spoilers (which I've forgotten).

I'm pretty experienced with 5e, but a complete neophyte with PbP. I think I'd quite enjoy exploring character concepts with other players.

McDunno, if you need peeps, I'd like to join, I'm in one RN With CancerMan we are slowly making our way.

I haven't "technically" been through it even though I'm running the first module for CaveJohnson et al. D&D 5e is my game of choice and I've run and played in many games, and I can commit to the posting frequency.

I'll throw my hat in the ring if more players are needed, but there's no need to save a spot for me as I'll defer to new players.

I'd be interested in this. I don't have any experience with PbP or 5e but I have been playing Pathfinder and Wrath & Glory for the last ~year. I'm not very good/experienced at deep RP but the post requirements are no biggie as I work at a computer all day anyway.

Running it currently for two different groups, but I would love to explore Undermountain as a player. I can separate character knowledge from player knowledge. I currently run two 5E games on a weekly basis, but I seldom get a chance to play, as opposed to running. I'll post as often as required, and I am good with RP. I've been playing by post for better than 20 years (I used to run on the old D&D listserve).

Do you have access to the Player's Handbook? Not having 5e experience isn't that big a deal if you've been playing Pathfinder, but if you don't have access to the PHB, it might be a lot more difficult. The Basic Rules will take you through character creation with a limited number of classes and subclasses.

Are you running Yawning Portal or Dungeon of the Mad Mage? None of the YP adventures take place in Undermountain.

Yes I do have access to both physical and digital copies.

Doh! I'm running Dungeon of the Mad Mage, but I've actually DMed the Tales from the Yawning Portal, as well, both the current version and the originals. :) Still, I'd love to experience it as a player, as opposed to DMing. I have access to the three core D&D books.

Haven't had the chance to play it so far. I'll take a spot if you want me!

Could be interesting.

Late to the game, but I'd love to play, though I do remember White Plume Mtn from when I was a kid.

I haven’t done this and would love to jump aboard if you have space 😃

Low levels of experience as only just getting back into RPG’s, been with GP for a few months which is my only real experience with PbP.

I've not played it and would like to. I'd call myself intermediate at both PbP and 5e - still much to learn. I normally post once a day, including weekends.

As I'm already in a game you're DMing, fully understand if you want to give those coveted slots to others.

I'd love to jump in, but I do know the modules in their original forms. Although I'd be fine keeping player knowledge out of it.

Same as BedzoneII, McDunno. I'm interested but I've read through some of the original modules, though its been a very long while.

I'm totally unfamiliar. So it would be rather interesting.

I'll probably get the game started Friday night or Saturday and will make my picks then.

Cool

I'm interested! I've never played Yawning Portal but I've been playing 5e since it came out. I've been a part of pbp for a few months now and I can definitely commit to 7-10 post a week

Thanks for the interest, everyone. I appreciate everyone asking to join, but I had to narrow it down to six, choosing from those who hadn't played it before. If any players drop out, I'll post here to see if any of you are still interested in joining.

Ah well. Have fun everyone!

I would like to play it and never read 'portals':)

I played 5e both pbp and live but i am not expert
I play pbp for many years now
7-10 post a week sounds great:)

Yeppers.

Standing in line...

Shucks i didn't make the cut :D

I kind of gave preferential treatment to people who weren't, you know, currently playing the module!

PShhhh playing.. what is this playing.. every play though is different non the less :D
