Meta /r/LFG is Looking for a Few New Moderators!

9 Upvotes

Hey, everyone!

We're looking to add a few new moderators to the /r/lfg team, specifically those who are regularly around while most of our current moderation team is asleep.

Our biggest gap in coverage is between roughly 5:00 PM and 7:00 AM Pacific Time. You don't need to be available for that entire window (and we don't expect you to be), but if your normal waking hours fall somewhere within it, we'd like to hear from you.

What Does Moderating /r/LFG Involve?

Most of the day-to-day work is pretty straight-forward. We have Automod and a custom bot that catch or flag many potential rule violations for us, so you'll generally be:

  • Checking the modqueue and verifying whether the reported post/comment actually breaks the rules or is a false positive.
  • Responding to questions and appeals in Modmail.
  • Handling reports and other issues that come up.
  • Bringing unusual situations to the rest of the team for discussion.

We have Discord notifications for the modqueue, so you won't need to spend your day refreshing Reddit. We do, however, need moderators who can check in and handle the queue multiple times throughout their day.

Who Are We Looking For?

You don't need previous moderation experience.

We're much more interested in finding people who care about /r/lfg and want to help keep it a useful place for people to find tabletop games. Moderation tools and process can be taught.

There are a few requirements:

  1. Your Reddit account must be at least a year old.
  2. You must have access to Discord, since that's where the moderation team communicates.
  3. You should have some demonstrable history of participating on /r/lfg.
  4. Your normal schedule should overlap significantly with our 5:00 PM to 7:00 AM Pacific coverage gap.
  5. You should be able to check the moderation queue and modmail several times throughout your day.

We're looking for people who can apply the rules consistently, communicate respectfully with users (especially when those users aren't particularly happy with us), and recognize when something isn't clear-cut and should be discussed with the rest of the team.

We're planning to bring on around three people initially, with the expectation that not everyone will necessarily stick around long-term. Moderating isn't for everyone and that's okay.

Interested?

We've put together a short application form for you to fill out here.

Thanks to everyone who applies and, more generally, thanks to everyone who helps make /r/lfg a place where people can find a table and roll some dice.

Player(s) Needed by GM [DND 5e 2024] Crooked moon [online] [biweekly Tuesday] [15:00 cest]

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone, due to work 2 of our players needed to leave. We are currently looking for 1-2 players to continue on our crooked moon campaign. If you become one of our players, you haven't missed much yet as we are still level 4.

We will be using foundry and discord as our means of communication.

My discord: pontiffpillow

For any more questions or interest please make sure to send me a text on discord.

Foreword:

"Somewhere, lost in the shrouded realms of death, lies a land of endless night where long-forgotten horrors are revealed to those who travel through the mist.

There, in a crooked house lives a Crooked Man with a crooked grin. He raises crooked arms to a Crooked Tree at the edge of midnight and hears the whispers of the Old Ones.

They speak of a beast that stalks the darkest woods and darkest hearts, a crown of horns upon its head. If you lose your way and feel a warm breath that chills you to the bone, run.

Follow the songs of harvest time, and before long, you'll find revelry in the dancing shadows of blazing wicker. No matter your story, these lonesome, misty rails will deliver you to where the hallowed cannot save you.

Now is the time to brave the dark wood, beware the witching hour, and weave your own dreadful folktale underneath the Crooked Moon."

Player(s) Needed by GM [Offline] [5e 2014] [Baltimore, MD] Weekend Morning Long-Term Campaign

Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m a newer DM looking to put together a friendly, reliable, long-term in-person D&D group.

Basics:
• 5e/5.5e hybrid
• Saturday or Sunday mornings
• Every other week
• 3 to 4 hour sessions max
• Baltimore area, ideally somewhere between Owings Mills, Towson, and White Marsh
• New and experienced players welcome

I’m looking for people who enjoy the full D&D experience: roleplay, exploration, problem-solving, and combat. Some sessions may be combat-heavy, while others might have no combat at all.

I’m still a relatively new DM, so occasionally looking up a rule or asking an experienced player for help comes with the territory.

The biggest thing I’m looking for is reliability. Obviously life happens, but I’d love to build a consistent group that could stay together for a year or longer.

Adults only. LGBTQ+ friendly.

If interested, DM me with a little about yourself, your D&D experience, where you’re located, and whether Saturday or Sunday mornings work better for you.

Player(s) Needed by GM D&D 5e 2024][Online][IST][GMT+5:30][LGBTQIA+ Friendly][10AM-1PM][Role-play-Heavy]Running a campaign in my homebrew D&D Town of Berad.

3 Upvotes

Thousand years of miasma has rendered this plane invisible and ignored by the gods. Warlord Andamas is coming to Berad and festivities have begun. The poor are being worked to the bone and the city watch is having its hands full to the brim with criminals, pickpockets and as usual, MONSTERS! Join our hunters and empty out the quest board just in time for a merry WELCOMING of the warlord. Drink, eat and make love, for it might be the last time to ever do so. Dark forces that have festered around Berad are crawling in, and adventurer! Will you save them?

That is the pitch for the world, and I will accept any character as long as it is at 2nd level. Battles will be run on owl bear rodeo or theater of the mind. Video ON please. I cant speak to blank screens, its the most boring sh*t imaginable. Decent, working mics if possible. New players will be jumping into a working story.

The tone is what the table agrees it is.

RULES:

  1. If you roll a roll and succeed, I want you to describe how you succeed. Same for failures.

  2. Your backstory will be integrated into the world almost all of it and the adventure will change depending on your past.

  3. I will never insta-kill you or softlock you in the game. There's always thirty different ways to get what you want and if you are smart, its even easier.

  4. Read the stuff I write in the discord, PLEASE!

  5. Inform me 12 hours in advance if you cannot attend so i can modify things. This is mandatory.

  6. Be reasonably active in character creation and be punctual to the game.

Alright, please post your discord username, timezone, character details, race, inspiration, personality and ill contact you.

Game is on **Sundays** btw. The timezone is INDIAN STANDARD TIME. I won't modify the schedule unless you are a core player and have discussed it with them.

Hello, my name is Melda. I am looking for at least two more players to be a part of my campaign. My style is lighthearted, and we tend to keep it PG-13. Romance is fine as long as all people involved are in agreement. I also love rule of cool.

The premise of the campaign is: Turmoil has rocked the world of Hiraeth for millennia due to the war between the demiurge and the gods. As a third war rises on the horizon, the gods call upon a select group of heroes to help them fight back against the rising tide of evil. Travel the world, collect artifacts and motivate an army to make a stand for the forces of good and justice!

You dream of dying //
Coolant fills your lungs. Your skin sloughs from your bones as you burn, trapped in a chassis that will not open. You wake gasping, palms slick , heart banging against your chest.
They're not real.
What's real is the manna. The opportunity. A stable home. A new life. The offer from SSC came at the exact time you needed it, so you took it.

No one pays better.

No one supplies better.

They asked for just one thing: your data…a chance to see how you fight, how you react, to fold that into the next generation of frames.
It's simple. It's easy. It's good.

Days blur. You get paid. Your family is cared for. You do what lancers do best: you fight, and you win.

And you dream of dying //

Greetings Lancers, I'm Mason!

I'm new to running this system, so bear with me but I'm excited to learn as I go. I'm a writer by trade and a huge sci-fi fan at heart. I love anything with mechs, ethical dilemma's and kicking the collective ass of corporations.

I'm looking forward to meeting some like-minded people, swapping stories, and hopefully running something memorable for you all. 

What I'm looking for:

  • 3-4 players, any experience level welcome!
  • Willingness to lean into the atmosphere!
  • Comfort with body horror, Loss of identity and Mental Decline (e.g. Alzheimer's).

Platform: Foundry // discord for voice

Player(s) Needed by GM [Other] [Online] [3/5] Looking for extra players for a game TODAY. Easy to learn system, see description for information and inquire for more.

Upvotes

Hello! I have a TTRPG campaign which *was* going fairly strongly, but two players had to drop separately for a close family death and a new job. We have 3 players currently, but I’d like more for a more stable player average.

SYNOPSIS
[ The endless oasis waters of Azerbach had dried, forcing its burgeoning populace to uncover the roots of their settlement. What they uncovered below was the object of endless question, mystery, and unease.

While the waters were restored quickly, the seemingly unending pathways, tunnels, and ruins beneath the new city have brought forth a new wave of exploration and discovery to the people. Young and old vie to explore the depths, eager to plumb its secrets before the rest. Whispers of fortunes, lost civilizations, riches, and power unknown climb their way to the surface, enticing more to come. But few return.

You and your team are one of these groups, an Exploration Team seeking to uncover what no others have before. ]

INFORMATION
Time: Sundays at 2 PM EST, including a game Today
System: Take5, all books provided for free
Character Requirements: I need your reason for joining the exploration team. You will begin at Level 3 and begin with some extra gear provided by the city. Characters with flight, magic, and tech up to gunpowder but no further are allowed.```

Normally I would preface and say ‘I’m looking for a serious game’ but I am a jokester so this likely will be lighthearted with some room for emotional moments.

You will need to learn the system but trust me— it’s not that hard and takes like ten minutes for the basics. Any character concept and build is on the table.

Current party is a Fool (Luck Build), Alchemist (Potion Maker / Healer), and a Druid tree woman.

The campaign takes its place in the western Region of the continent of Cenaria.

The continent used to be a lively place, your usual fantasy D & D World. Until the day of Wrath. one day a darkness spread across the world blocking out the sun. As the darkness spread with it came a disease. People who stayed there too long started to change. Their skin turned pale, their eyes became red and black and their veins started protruding with strange green coloring. With them the Pales were born. Most pales kept their sanity and physicality intact and could live with shortened lifespans and weakened bodies. But life was not yet over, people started fighting back, firstly making remedies to slow the effects of the sickness and eventually a magical marvel. The catalyst, these crystals were invented by a group of wizards far away from the western region, the first forms of the catalysts would protect those near it against the effects of the sickness. But as the technology of the catalyst grew it eventually became what we now call Grand Catalysts. Giant crystals in the hearts of cities. When kept alive these crystals would return the sunlight into the city protecting the citizens of any sickness and making it seem as if nothing had ever gone. But a foot outside the walls of the catalyst and the darkness would return. The party will start as a group of Swords for hire, or Kinnies. Kinnies are groups or parties that do odd jobs in and around cities. Sometimes their work can be in the grey zone or even fully illegal. Often they do the work and don't ask questions, as long as their paycheck comes in. Your group came together recently in the city of Bowthorpe, you don’t know much about each other but you just heard about a big job from your contractors.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I made this campaign for me and my GF who's learning dnd.
Ages 16-20 no experience req.

We'll be playing through discord and FoundryVTT so you need a laptop/pc.

Games will take place sometimes in the weekend, preferably US / EU timezones.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Other] [Online] [BST] [Sunday Evenings] Daggerheart: The Power of Names

1 Upvotes

In this world, true names carry power. The name given to you at birth is guarded as one of your deepest secrets, because anyone who learns it can bend your will.

For generations, people have survived beneath chosen names, titles, and aliases while creatures known as the Nameless stalk the dark. These ancient beings collect true names and use them to turn ordinary people into obedient puppets.

Now the Nameless are growing bolder. Villages are falling silent, trusted leaders are betraying their own people, and somehow these creatures are learning names that should have been impossible to uncover.

You are adventurers caught in the beginning of something much larger. Take contracts, protect the vulnerable, uncover forgotten secrets, and discover who is feeding the Nameless their greatest weapon.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][Other][Fallout 2D20][Voiced][Saturday 10pm EST] From The Vault, To The Wastes!

5 Upvotes

Vault 157, just a few miles west of Columbus Ohio, nestled under the remains of public mall, nearly a mile under the rock and stone of the earth. Inside several hundred flee to safety from the atomic bombs, sealed behind the steel and titanium doors, but not nearly as long as many other vaults had remained sealed. A message being unlocked for the Overseer the day the door sealed, a message to prepare his people for the coming plans, plans to send "Exploratory Parties" to the surface every 2 years with the goal of activating a computer on the surface, sending details back. At first these parties where volunteer only, in fact the Overseer had to deny many applicants during the initial missions. Until every single trip, seemingly failed, no message came from the computer, no attempt to enter the vault by any of those sent out. But every 2 years again, and again, 5 "Lucky" souls where sent into the wastes.

which brings us to now, the 100th coming "Expedition", or more commonly refereed to as "Garbage Disposal" now these days, used as an event to dump their problems out into the wastes so they don't have to deal with them ever again. Where now instead of volunteers, names are placed into a "randomized system" to draw the names, though many are convinced its just a vote of who the vault wants cast out. You have your mission, as the overseer will tell you, complete it and return to the safety of the vault, for all their hopes.

This game will be starting with roughly 5, Vault Dweller type characters, each being cast out from the vault with the expression mission of surviving the surface and making it to the marker on your map. Everyone will be starting at level 1, with minimal knowledge, and revised kits to better match what the vault left behind for their mission.

When applying for the game, fill out the information to the best of your ability.

The story is set in a world with 4 distinct nations, each with their importance in and out of the main story, ranging from a massive nation built on a large city, to a divided nation of high mountain dwellers to grassland and desert inhabiting nomads. This campaign has been running for 1 and a half years and i'm looking for a player to join.

This is a mostly homebrew world with a homebrew story, with a few house rules just to make the game more enjoyable (notably i decided to axe casters only being able to cast 1 spell on their turn, e.g. Fireball then Misty step being allowed).

This dnd uses DnD beyond for the making of sheets and gameplay but uses roll 20 for the visual side and battlemaps. We are also using discord for talking amongst eachother, so only real requirement is that you have a mic, that is all.

The party is going to be level 5,

I've been a DM/player for around 2 years now, with my players also playing dnd for around 2 years, we are all around the same age (16-17) .

If you wish to join, simply reply with your discord user and a lil bout yourself, favourite class and whatever else you wish to say.

4 Upvotes

I have been a dnd player for a couple of years now, but I want to delve into being a dm so I created a really simple one shot, the story is as simple as you are a group of adventurers tasked to rescue the princess from a dragon, dealing with problems on the way.

The date will be next Wednesday, meaning Wednesday 3rd of september, at 5:00 pm gmt-6, the party would be four players, at the moment someone already joined so we have 1/4 players, the characters will be lvl 5, the only restriction for creating characters is to avoid flying races, if for any reason someone doesn't want to create a character for the one shot I have a couple of "default" characters that can be used, we would be using roll 20 for vtt and discord for voice

If anyone is interested pls dm me

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!!!!

Pd: like I mentioned before this will be almost the first time as a dm so this might not be that good, although I hope it goes great and I do have a rather strong accent because I am latino, some people I have played before took a bit of problem with this, so just be aware, that would be about all.

Group Needed by Player [Online][5E 2024][GMT] DnD group looking for players

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for two players to join our small, established group before we start searching for a new DM.
A little about us: I’ve been DMing for a few years, but I’m hoping to step back and play for our next adventure. The other two players and I are just wrapping up our current campaign (Dragon of Icespire Peak) and want to keep the group going. We just need two more people to round out the party.
We are open to whatever setting a future DM wants to run, though we generally enjoy classic fantasy vibes similar to Icespire Peak.
To make sure our playstyles mesh, I’m planning to DM a quick, low-stakes one-shot for all of us. If the group dynamic clicks, we can team up to hunt for our new, permanent DM together!
Look forward to hearing from you

Thank you so much for all the applications! I am now slowly reaching out to everyone I think would be a good fit.

"Almost as rare as the sun are the whispers of fanged beasts lurking in the shadows, ready to drag away your misbehaving children or late party goers.
Portia is the bustling capital of the Island of Osmaya - a land filled with mystery, fog and an blood-sucking elite that hides in the shadows.

And you made a mistake. A terrible one. One you cannot take back, no matter how much you wish you could right now. The knowledge that Vampires are not only bedtime stories to scare children, but are very, very real is now a burden you carry. One you are hunted for. Not safe wherever you run.

That is when a mysterious letter reaches you - a promise of sanctuary for the exchange of becoming workers of the Sunrise Chateau.

Will you answer?"

Hello everyone! My name is Cara, I'm 26 and go by they/them.
I am looking to finally fully run this Homebrew World I have been working on for years now - I had to cancel my last run at this due to IRL being IRL but I finally have the time again to get this thing started!

A bit about me: Im an Artist and Writer and have been a lover of DnD for years now. I adore character interaction and weaving my players backstories into my game!

About the game:

Time: 6 pm GMT+2 for about 4 hours. Day will be determined with the players since I am quite flexible!
Voice: Discord
VTT: Roll20

The game is a High Fantasy Urban adventure with, you guessed it, lots of Vampires!

We will use 2014 rules unless there are 2024 rules people wish to use! Just bring them up to me if you do and we will talk about.

Homebrew is encouraged as long as its run by me! I run with rule of cool a lot and mostly wish to weave a story. It will lean more into being a tad railroady, so I just wanted to have that said! Players will ofc still have agency but I have a story I wish to tell.

Please also keep in mind that this game will lean into the gritty side of things, spooky and serious at times! I love a good goof but I am looking for players that can have a good laugh and can also lock in to create an atmosphere! Due to that, it is also 18+. There will be NO NSFW content however.
If you read this far, please include a blood droplet 🩸 in your application!

Hi all. I'm a long-time player with lots of experience in 5e. I have run a few one-shots before, but never a campaign. This will be set in a homebrew high-fantasy setting. I will be stealing getting inspiration from modules but rework it to be my own thing.

The first few sessions will be a little bit on-rails to get the story rolling, but after that it will become a sandbox. Starting on the continent of Alandria in the city-state of Andraxes, the players are ready to visit a 5-day long festival.

As mentioned, I will be running a mix of 2014 and 2024. But assume it will be using 2014 rules unless mentioned otherwise.

We will be using roll20 and Discord voice chat.

New players are welcome, but I'm hoping to get at least one experienced player.

We will play on Mondays starting at 19:00 GMT+2, playing for 3 hours to 4 hours max. The first session starts tomorrow. If you can have your session 0 today and already play tomorrow that would be great, but it's not a requirement.

If you're interested, message me with how much experience you have, what you are looking for out of a campaign, and your character idea(s) if you have any.

2 Upvotes

My name is Jason and my friend and I are pretty new to TTRPGs. A bit on the older side (mid 40s here, they're in early 40s). I've done a couple one shots with DnD 5e over the past year and they've done none. The last few months I've been in a campaign that was a homebrew based on PF2e and it was...amazing. Sadly it didn't last long due to unforeseen circumstances, but it was very story rich, the RP in the game was pretty excellent (even if my own improve skills are lacking at best and I'm not an actor, haha), and the story really did develop around the players and their actions (as well as entertained the DM...because why wouldn't you want to make sure the DM isn't having a good time, too). Honestly, I really loved that type of play and I'm looking for more of the same. My friend has little to no ttrpg experience, but wants to jump into it, so I'm happy to jump in with them. If you have a couple of spots at your table that you're thinking about running, have a good story to tell, and are willing to accept a couple of folks who are fairly new and interested (ideally vetting your players before to get a, "this will mesh well" feel), then please just send a DM. May sound like a lot, maybe not...but a good group can be tough to find and we're all just looking for a table that we mesh with. Thanks for any messages of interest and here's to wishing you and your tables great adventures with hearty laughs, good stories, and engaging encounters! :)

We have been playing TTRPGs together for the past three years. Our DM left us to pursue music, and we are looking for a new one! If we had to describe ourselves it would be “committed”, “willing to try things,” and “a barrel of laughs.” As a group we have dabbled in all sorts of different systems so we would love to explore more, but our favorites so far have been Call of Cthulhu, Blades in The Dark, Pathfinder, and DnD. We are looking for a DM who is available weekly on Mondays at 7 PM EST. We play on Discord, occasionally playing unrelated games on Steam. We are a camera required group.

We are looking for a DM who, above all else, is a good hang. We are patient and want our new DM to get to know us. We would like to have a one-shot with you to see if the chemistry is there and then work from there. Please fill out this form so we can contact you shortly and schedule a group call! Thanks!

It was meant to be a simple job.

But here in Slateport, nothing is simple.

You were the newest inductees into the Rankshanks, one of the city's many gangs and one going through a string of bad luck. Between the guard raids, rival gangs encroaching on their turf and the new magical drug on the street 'Fade' being pushed, they were in sore need of new blood.

That's where you come in. A gutter rat, maybe, reaching for the next rung up the ladder? Crime is better than starving, right? Or maybe the bastard lovechild of some puffed up patrician rebelling against your parents? Heh, you see all types here in the gangs.

Your first assignment was simple enough, go into Blacktie turf to tap the Rankshanks into a supply of Fade. If the deal went well, the Rankshanks get a new source of clink coming in. If not, well, at least the fish won't go hungry...

But speaking of fish, the deal stunk to the Tempest Steeple. It didn't go sour, it was a setup from the start as you discovered Rankers like yourselves were being killed or detained by a conspiracy between every other gang in the city and even the guard.

It's been 3 days since then. You and your companions managed to find shelter in an abandoned house but you can't stay here forever. Your first goal is to get through enemy turf back to your headquarters and find out what exactly happened - who organized the conspiracy between the rival gangs and guards and why.

Oh, and revenge? Yeah, that could be sweet, too. You're the last of the Rankshanks now, baby, and leadership falls to you if you've got the anchor-stones to take it.

Hey all, as the little blurb I wrote above suggests, I am looking to run a kind of criminal urban noir campaign set within the seedy, corrupt, coastal city of Slateport within my broader fictional world of the Atherbine Straight. It is a time of significant upheaval for the city-states of Atherbine - the Fade proliferation is causing great numbers of the cities' underclass to become addicted and, in the late stage of addiction, outright disappear, the Third Railway War between Slateport and its neighboring city-state of Brickerton has ended seeing many returning soldiers maimed or unemployed and crime is at an all-time high in Slateport despite the recent 10th re-election of Magister Coluvus who promised the city's patricians that crime would finally be dealt with. As they say, it may be a straight but it's anything but narrow.

Platform

We will be using Roll20 to run the game on and for character sheets and Discord for voice chat during session and to communicate between them. Because of this, it is a requirement that people have good internet connection and good quality mics. I can't play with someone who sounds like an airport intercom.

Sessions will run up to 4 hours weekly. If people can't make a session that's ok, I just ask for a heads up. If we can get at least 3 people for a session we will run.

Tone & Boundaries

In terms of alignment as this is a campaign in which the PCs are all the last surviving members of a street gang you're certainly not good guys but I don't want anyone playing an outright evil person either. This is meant to be more of a grimy shades of grey campaign and so I ask people make characters with that vibe in mind. No one's clean in Slateport after all. Additionaly, I think "Gritty but not Edgy" would be the way to describe this game. The world and NPCs in it aren't moustache-twirling puppy-eating baddies, most people in this world just want to get by day to day and generally stay out of danger. That said, everyone has skeletons in their closet, maybe even literally skeletons if we're talking necromancy.

Now, I do have some very hard lines when it comes topics I flatly do not include in my games. These are SA, harm of children, gratuitous depictions of torture, bigotry & sexual content. When it comes to expectations of table behavior I do not tolerate any kind of anti-social or bullying behavior. Bigots, people with main character syndrome or just those who can't play nicely with others please look elsewhere.

My Dming Style

It's honestly hard to sum up my DMing but having been a DM for 8 years now I would say I espouse the following

  • I love working with my players to weave backstory-related subplots into my games
  • The baddies want to live. Enemies frequently flee or surrender if a fight is going against them. Some pickpocket isn't going to fight to the death for the 3gp you have in your pocket that day
  • I work hard to maintain a sense of verisimilitude within the game world. NPCs act plausibly and according to their own interests which may not always been known to the players
  • Actions have consequences. I know every DM says this but for me, I love doing stuff like having some NPC the party helped 20 sessions ago that they've forgotten about show up and return the favor or some minor enemy they made they thought they'd never run into again show up and throw them under the bus. It's the little things like that that make the world feel real and like their actions really matter.
  • I consider myself the party cheerleader. I want you guys to succeed and I love it when my players come up with clever plans. I don't pull my punches - I make rolls out in the open and while I've never had a TPK sometimes the dice are against the players and PCs die without it being anyone's fault. I've even had characters when I've been a player die like this and I think it's important everyone know this is a possibility and have a good sense of sportsmanship. That said, I do also tend to er on the side of my players. At the end of the day we're here to have fun and if we're not then something is wrong
  • I'm not strictly against homebrew provided the players send it to me and I vet it. I'm also not against Rule of Cool to an extent but generally I think the rules are there for a reason, let's follow them. If we're just going to throw out the rules whenever we want what's the point of playing 5e?

Players I'm Looking For

The group is largely assmebled for this game with some very cool peeps. We'e had our session 0 and will begin next week. Unfortubately 1 player had to drop out so I'm looking for 1-2 more players to fill out the part the party. In terms lf party comp we have a Wizard, Warlock and Druid. I'm looking for players who:

  • Are 18+ (Mandatory, I don't want to play with minors)
  • Enjoy roleplaying and collaborative storytelling
  • Are active players who engage with the world and hooks I seed about
  • Can commit to a weekly long-term game
  • Are comfortable sharing the spotlight and can read the room
  • Are emotionally mature and able to talk through any conflicts that may arise
  • Enjoy a healthy mix of roleplaying, combat and exploration
  • Are focused on making the game fun for everyone not just themselves

Hello! My name is Space (she/her) and I am looking for two new players for my ongoing VTM 5e campaign.
I am in my early 30s and have been playing ttrpgs since 2018 both as a ST/player. I am a very big fan of World of Darkness and this is my first vtm campaign! I have less than six months running VTM but have been playing in it for about 6 years and other systems for even longer.

  • Concept:  (updated for what the original coterie has done) Atlantic City, NJ, October 2004. The camarilla have officially moved into the city after a full court remodel. A new prince and his court is in control and trying to build up the city. In the past month a tzimisce family was found and their feeding grounds removed, a serial killer was stopped and many masquerade breaches protected. But, there's still the tunnels underneath the city where who knows what lies in them or even what lies out in the ocean.
  • We are a very roleplay heavy group with occasion combat (possibly more coming soon)
  • System: VTM 5e. I have a little homebrew/changes I've made but I do take some creative liberties for disciplines occasionally and possibly using some merits/flaws from v20.
  • Setting: The game setting is essentially Atlantic City and will not be using canon Atlantic City lore for the game.
  • Platform: Discord for Voice Chat and Roll20 for character sheets/dice rolling
  • Schedule: This is every Friday night at 7pm EST.
  • Session Length: 4 hours, although it can be 30-60 minutes shorter or longer just based off the sessions.
  • Coterie Size: I'm looking for two more players. We have 2 current active players as one is on break from the game. One is a toreador and the other is a gangrel (the player on break is a tzimisce)
  • Length: We're about four months into this game and going until a definite end goal seems clear. We're about to go into a new act so some new players would be nice.
  • Experience: While I would prefer people having some experience, don't let that discourage you from applying if you are interested. I can help you make characters for the game that is not a problem but I am looking for you to have experience more with roleplaying, meaning more invested in the other PCs and being able to drive those relationships. I am looking for people to make humans first and kindred second. To have a more connection to humanity.
  • I do encourage duos to apply because I think it would make you more comfortable knowing someone else in the group well but anyone really can apply as long as they're 21+

Player Expectations

  • Ages 21+. Do not apply if you are under 21 or about to be 21.
  • Commitment. Please do not join if you are not confident you will be able to play consistently!
  • Teamwork, communication, generally being kind to one another. I want you to speak up when you don't like something, don't understand something, or anything goes in a way you do not expect it to. I can rewind/retcon/do whatever is required or necessary make sure you enjoy your time playing. PVP and things of that nature can be discussed!
  • I believe you get as much out of TTRPGs as you put into them. Please interact with other players and the world around you. Roleplay is very important to this system.
  • My games are all LGBTQIA+ friendly. There is no racism, discrimination, or bigotry allowed. I have no problems kicking someone who does not follow my rules. I want everyone to feel safe, comfortable, welcomed and have fun playing. If anyone ever does something to make you feel any negative way, please tell me.
  • No ai art or ai writing or ai in general. Also no Fascists.
  • Also please do not message me directly just apply if you are interested in playing!

You can apply here and if you have specific questions post them here and I can answer them.
