New to GNAW, tabletop roleplaying, or play-by-post games? This page covers the most common questions about games, community, subscriptions, and how everything works.
GNAW is an independent tabletop RPG project focused on dark fantasy adventures, play-by-post campaigns, worldbuilding, published modules, 3D printing, and community storytelling.
Most games currently use Dungeons & Dragons 5e, though GNAW also experiments with homebrew mechanics, playtests, and future original systems.
No. Beginners are welcome. Guidance is available for new players, including help with character creation, Avrae, Discord play, and learning the rules.
Play-by-post (PBP) is a written style of tabletop roleplaying where players respond throughout the day when available, rather than gathering for long live sessions.
Most games progress steadily with players posting when available. Some scenes move quickly, while others allow slower roleplay and character interaction.
Usually no. GNAW primarily runs asynchronous games, allowing players across different schedules and time zones to participate.
Most games use Discord, Avrae, and D&D Beyond. Some live games may also use Roll20 or voice/video platforms.
Some community features are free, while hosted campaigns, premium content, and subscriber-supported worlds may require payment or Patreon access.
Certain GNAW settings continue evolving between adventures. Characters can work jobs, travel, build relationships, craft items, and influence the world outside standard sessions.
Yes. Choices, victories, failures, discoveries, politics, and downtime actions can all leave lasting marks on the setting.
Games are typically listed through StartPlaying, Patreon, Discord announcements, or community recruitment posts.
Patreon helps fund worldbuilding, modules, maps, downtime systems, miniatures, writing projects, art commissions, and future game development.
Subscribers may receive access to exclusive channels, early previews, supporter games, playtests, world updates, polls, and behind-the-scenes content.
Absolutely. Supporting through Patreon, Ko-Fi, sharing projects, or engaging with the community all help keep the forge burning.
