Dungeons & Dragons Challenge



Sign-ups are open until February 28th.
The challenge is open-ended.

The Challenge

1. Comment here to sign up, and I will create a personal challenge thread for you.

2. You will create your adventurer step by step: first by reading for a race/class, then a weapon, then a companion. Each of these will come with a one-time-use advantage to help you later in the challenge.

3. After your character is ready, you will begin the journey. At each stage, you will face a short story and a choice of tasks. The book you choose to read will determine the path your story takes.

4. To move forward, you must read for at least one of the tasks presented. You can only choose one task per branch — but you may use your earned advantages to skip or bend a rule if you wish.

5. Please make a completion post in your thread using this template:

6. If you feel stuck, you may use 5 points to skip a task.

7. Completing a task gives you 2 points. Completing the challenge gives you 25 points.

8. If you don't have a personal point account thread yet, request one here.
