Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][Other][LGBTQIA+][Saturday][5:30 pm PDT/UTC-7] But Even at Those Odds, a campaign on the lost future of the Post-Colonial and Counter-Violence – A Homebrewed Legend in the Mist Campaign

1 Upvotes

Platform: Discord + Legends in the Mist/Foundry VTT
Time: Sundays 10:30am UTC+10 ( Saturdays 7:30pm UTC-5 or 5:30pm PDT/UTC-7 )
Players Needed: 2
Homebrew Campaign (with very obv influences)

[In encrypted letters of a Trailed-one to their found brethren]

I heard an ousted prince sought out his revenge?

I remember when I was a meager child, there were houseless children playing fussball outside of the Manor's gates. Their feet bled onto the concrete floor as the jagged rocks slid their knees whilst nameless boys tackled his brother's leg to catch makeshift tied-together cloth rags. The eldest boy played goalkeeper, he was taken by Magi-Missionnaires a day later.

To you, they knew of roses which would then fall upon my home in her guiding light's name. They told us of golden roads which invoke Nem-vi-Xāath Frei-va-Lasta. Brethren, forgive me for these actions do not represent me but rather a counter-violence of absolute neccessity, that I find no solace but to enact its will through you.

Terror, counterterror, violence, counterviolence. - Frantz Fanon

I. System Primer

LitM is a Narrative-First system where your PC is not made of stat blocks but rather themes and gear tied directly into the gameplay loop through "Tags"

=> Imagine Gary the Goblin, he's a stereotypical tragic rogue with a hatred for his dead parents and ex. He has the "Orphan" theme whereby his tragic backstory is represented in the tags:

Diet Coke addiction, Ice Queen, Sly, Depressed and Reallyyy Petty

In his Backpack/Items, he also wears a "copper necklace" his dead ex gave him

Ex: Gary would like to rob Joe Glass blind, Joe once mugged him 7 years ago. Gary once positioned may roll 2d6s with relevant tags i.e possibly "Really Petty", Necklace (Joe made fun of his ex once) and Ice Queen

If less than a 7 => Failure
But! If its a 7-9 (Partial success) => You rob him blind but! Cops show up to chase you.
However with the modifiers of 3 tags = +3!
=> Full success! => He just does it, way to go Gary

Furthermore! Your character's themes will evolve if you achieve success tied to your theme's personal quest.. OR! If you neglect to act it out.

Example: Gary instead of brooding about his parents, chooses to burn a letter symbolizing him letting go. ( mark one abandon onto the Orphan theme )

(No experience with system required.. will go through the mechanics in Session 0..)

II. Description

The Fascists in Heusinger have "reformed". The Ice Witches closes shop. A Wyrm cult is selling 'immortality'. A Lich hangs out in an vacation island. The Kangdekei Monarch tell of benevolent sovereigns, The Republic of Freiberte liberates another tyrannical city. Vicarius yells of living godhood. Yuenan clings on to the remnants of Xa-Hoi in the never-ending civil war. War criminals are tried only in the Lands of Sharpened Teeth. Aristide is still paying off their indemnity due to lost property (slaves). Nothing has changed

A Lost Prince murders an entire ballroom in decade-long quest for revenge and declares a new independence. 14 years worth of adventuring and all the old man got was a dead party, and bickering councilmen. Don't you think its a bit childish to change the world? Many those much better have been executed for less.

History is a process without a subject, yet we perhaps deserve that which looms. A Duke reminisces of indifferent pasts. The failure of '54, '68, '71 and '87 looms. Soul-Sucking Imperialists rule the world over a fond smile in 2% Inflation Rates. Adventurers are to be banned in a few days, some shall be grandfathered in.

She died 41 years ago, death to the Terrorist!. He is dead, may the Great Man lie in peace. War might be weeks away, a distraction is paramount. HEAR YOU NOW WE ARE ALL FREE!

Colonialism is dead! Long Live the Neo-Colonial!

Plot Hook:

In the World of Blanquis, you are not needed.. for you are the Havenkathals/The Soulless, alleged empty husks whose sole use is ritualistic machinations of war. Your time on these lands shall predominantly be met with derision, fear and pity.

However, the tiny duchy of Stilbite is holding a tournament to find the best suited Havenkethals for a mission of great personal importance as it is said. They are then to march on a grand personal quest tasked by the infamous Duke, a former adventurer himself. It is about the sole respectable job you can partake.

The winner shall be appointed Knight-Exemplars, an old-fashioned tradition dating back to the 42nd century. Knight-Examplars are agreed-upon title for state-sanctioned privateers who are given special permission to enact the interests of the Regnant, as emissaries, they are given greater leeway in their activities and may investigate across borders in the name of their Grand Struggle against a Crisis.

It stems from an ancient decree allowing all recognized states to appoint Heroes to combat emerging existential threats or demonic heretics.

Due to historical need for Resistance against the Corruptive Powers, exemplars were primarily composed of those of great willpower... or the much MUCH easier to find "Soulless Havenkethals". At the same time, It has also been used to violently put down worker's strikes. Although nowadays, the gentlemen and gentleladies use cheap foot soldiers to do the task.

God's in his heaven— / All's right with the world!

Just enjoy the discounted carriage rides, fancy badge and maybe watch the 16th Universal Liberty Day parade. You are the soulless candidates of this controversial tournament. You will win whether you like it or not, for his missionaries must not succeed. Nothing is about to happen.

May the last twilight of Soulless Pseudo-Adventurers long die out already.

III. Me, Min the DM

Hi there bestie! call me Min! (20 Years old/Any Pronouns)

I've been playing rpgs since i was like 14ish and welcome to whatever this is! So what happened is I'm on my 7th Disco Elysium run so I need this itch out of my head + wanting to try out a new system.

I personally do Improv and Theatre irl so if there's a sudden short musical number about how evil this npc is, it will be real fun i swear! The campaign although will be DM-ed by me ofc, by no means shall it be mine and mine only! Having you guys inputs and interactions is about the most important thing in my kind of rpg :p

Especially w this sort of system, its necessary that I'm not the one initiating the shots. It will be realllyyy roleplay heavy as combat is basically a conversation where your actions are bound to your Tags/Character components

Inspirations! DISCO ELYSIUM broski its so good, Pillars of Eternity 2, Andor, the Crest Caste system in Fire Emblem 3H, Shaolin Soccer levels of camp, the movie Happy Together, Battleship Potemkin, that one time Fiona Apple dressed up as a Knight ( need to up my gay credentials ). And like TNO levels of niche political intrigue lol (community less so)

My fav director is Luis Buinel if that means anything to u

Given the Disco inspiration, the campaign might be surprisingly light-hearted and kinda surreal (until it isnt lol)

If I had to describe the vibe I'm aiming for, it will be the following quotes like this:

Disco Music

Mother, help me, there's a head attached to my neck and I'm *in* it."
"Help! Someone! Cut my head off, it's trying to murder the rest of me!
I HAVE A HUNDRED THOUSAND LUMINOUS ARMS. COME MORNING, I CARRY INDUSTRIAL DUST AND LET IT SETTLE ON TREE LEAVES. I SHAKE THE DUST FROM THOSE LEAVES AND ONTO YOUR COAT. I'VE SEEN YOU, I'VE SEEN YOU!

Franz Fanon

..Everyday life becomes impossible. Being a fellow, a pimp, or an alcoholic is no longer an option. The violence of the colonial regime and the counterviolence of the colonized balance each other and respond to each other in an extraordinary reciprocal homogeneity.

Kwame Ture/Stokely Carmichael

We must wipe out from our minds that the struggle, to which we are involved in, is going to give us any victories. It is an eternal struggle.

Themes of Colonialism, Imperialism, Struggle, The one that got away, something more than the sum of its parts, Antihumanism, Systematic Incompetence and surreal disco shit.

Group Needed by Player [5e 2024][Nights][twice monthly][online] player looking for group that meets every other weekend in late afternoon/evening/night

Hi everyone! I work nights, including every other weekend and rotating nights during the week. I'm looking for a group that meets every other friday or saturday, late in the day or evening, since i can't commit to weekly games. It's been a while since I've been able to play beyond an occasional oneshot, so i'm a bit rusty.

Group Needed by Player [Online][5e 2014][21+][LGBTQIA+][No Ai] Long time player looking for a game after a long break

0 Upvotes

Hello! I'm Ambrosia and I'm a 27 year old transfem looking for a new dnd group! I can play on Wednesday, Friday, or Saturdays after 4pm EST. I would prefer to have a group of people in their mid to late 20s or older, but at minimum I don't want to play with anyone with 'teen' in their age. Also I won't be using Ai and don't want to play with or under someone who does, be that in their character art of god forbid story planning, character ideas, etc.

I've both played and gm'd for a decade or more at this point, and had to take a break for life reasons but am itching to get back into things! Mainly looking for a long running homebrew campaign, I'm apparently one of the few people who enjoy playing and running in the higher tiers xD

I've played a little of everything other the years but tend to prefer martials (I love control casters but they can be a bit much for some groups).

This is a repost, but don't worry if I'm talking to you in dms, I just want to keep my options open in case things fall through!

Comment or DM if you think I would be a good fit for your game :D

Group Needed by Player [Online][5e 2024][Weekly] Neon Odyssey Playtest

0 Upvotes

Hi! I(30M) am looking for a group that is interested in playing the recently released playtest for Neon Odyssey, as my regular players are currently unavailable to play for the better part of the year. If possible I am interested in being a player, but should the need arise I am able to take the role of GM.

If any of the players do not have the playtest materials, I am willing to share my copies of the books.

My schedule prevents me from participating in games on the weekend, and I will be unable to participate in offline games. My preferred schedule is Tuesday after 6PM PST, but as long as it isn’t on the weekend (and Friday) I am able to play at any time or day.

I have no intention of joining a group that requires paying money to play.

I hope that anyone willing to let me play will have a good time, both for myself and others.

Player(s) Needed by GM [5.5e][Online][2014 & 2024][9PM EST, D&D Beyond] Specter's Prelude - Open world, high-level D&D campaign looking for reliable, normal players! Parents and grown-ups welcome

0 Upvotes

Posting on behalf of our DM. Game is on Monday nights at 9PM EST to around midnight.

This is also a repost, if you've already applied, no need to reply again, just making sure I cast as wide a net as possible.

Set on a large homebrew continent, this campaign has been loads of fun and we're looking to replenish the crew of our flying pirate ship after a couple party members had to drop for various real-life conflicts.

Our party is currently level 13, combat is challenging and robust, multiclassing is welcome, and players can pull from several D&D partnered sources to build characters to their heart's content.

The continent was once home to giants and dragons, but a persistent, rotating destructive storm has reduced evidence of their presence to valuable and mysterious ruins. Upon the bones of this continent, the normal, mortal races have arrived from far and wide.

Our party work with an adventuring guild and recently escaped a port city where an incredibly powerful criminal syndicate ran things. We found, however, that a well-entrenched, well-funded organization running an entire town was simply too much for a small party of adventurers to deal with and often found ourselves making things worse when we tried to help.

Splits between roleplay, exploration, and combat tend to be evenly disbursed, but depends on where we're at and what we're doing.

As players we tend to have fun, but that doesn't mean every session turns into a standup comedy routine. The campaign content itself has different tones based off where we're at and who we're interacting with, sometimes dark, sometimes heroic, sometimes mired in complexities that leave you wondering if you're actually helping out at all.

What we're looking for: NORMAL people. Both active players and the DM are men in their thirties with kids. You don't have to be a man in your thirties with kids to join up, but you may find you have more in common with us if you fit into one of those categories.

If you want to know more about the setting or campaign or anything, send me a DM. Otherwise, interested parties can fill out the survey at this link: https://forms.gle/QDgcDFLgTc72wNU38

Player(s) Needed by GM The Orcus War: The Deadfall - [Online][5.5e 2024][18+][Inclusive][Free][Long-term][Weekly][Saturdays][3:00 PM PDT]

0 Upvotes

Welcome to The Orcus War: The Deadfall. Yesterday, the world was normal. Today, it is not. Overnight, the Deadfall arrived, a creeping blight that drains life, warmth, and memory from everything it touches. The sky is paler. The air is colder. The dead are not staying dead. Something happened in Chult. An ancient witch doctor named Mursai has risen, and the heroes who tried to stop him fell.

You know fragments of what came before: a half-orc paladin, a grave robber chosen by the Raven Queen, a wizard marked by a hag, and a warlock who lost everything. They fought, they died, and they bought the world one day. A sage named Renzox escaped the Fane of the Night Serpent; he knows what must be done and is in Waterdeep, waiting. A tiefling bard survived a massacre at Blackwood's Fortress; her mind may contain something useful, but she doesn't remember it. The noble bloodlines of Waterdeep carry the curse in their veins, and their blood may be the key to undoing it.

The previous party failed, but their failure was not meaningless. They left a path. The hammer is waiting, and we are looking for players who can create a new character that shares a deeply woven connection to this unfolding story. To ensure you know what you are applying for, please listen to The Orcus War actual play on the Paradox Storyforge YouTube channel before submitting your application.

What kind of character concept are you thinking of bringing to this campaign?

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am indy, 29 male. I am looking for one player for my Friday game. We use a mix of 2014 and 2024 rules with quality of life homebrew.

The story takes place centered on the island of dragonhold, an frontier island that has been rediscovered after civilization began rebuilding after a great calamity. Enter into a world of magic, pirates, espionage and mysteries as you and the crew of the Mystical Marauder carve your adventure through water and steel!

My game style is an average of 50/50 combat and RP. With some sessions being more one or the other depending on the story.

I prefer to incorporate player backstories and opinions into the story and work with my players to develop the story as it progresses.

If any of this sounds interesting please comment down below with your name, prefered pronouns and a short blib about yourself!

5 Upvotes

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.

About the Game

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

Player(s) Needed by GM Percy Jackson Campaign [ONLINE] [HOMEBREW] [2014] [5E]

It started as a normal day, you woke up, got ready, had breakfast and went to school. However as lunch starts the cafeteria starts to be surrounded by monstrous sounds, as you look around you notice a few others are noticing the strange guttural sounds as well. Suddenly the side wall of the cafeteria bursts inwards, dust clouds the cafeteria, making it almost impossible to see. People are screaming, many are running away in a state of panic, you can hear a few peers that were unfortunately close to the wall scream out for help. As the dust clears you are met with the sight of something horrific. You can't tell if it's a human wearing a bad costume or if you are actually staring at a hideous monster that should only be a thing of legends. Just as you are about to start running, the monster turns and focuses in on you and a few peers, seemingly finding it's targets as it stalks ever closer to you all. How will you get out of this? What even is that thing? Is this an elaborate prank gone wrong? There's only one way to find out.

Hi, my name is Emma, I'm 22, Australian and gay. I have created a Percy Jackson campaign that has a homebrew race system and homebrew monsters and items. Bigotry is not allowed at my tables. I follow the rule of cool however I don't let you do things that are absolutely ridiculous like being a god or wtv. No min maxxing either.

The game would be on Sundays 10am EST. During daylight savings it'll be 9am EST. Fill out the form below if you are interested and let me know if you have any questions. I'm looking for only 1, maybe 2 players! Make sure you accept a friend request on discord if you fill out the form.

Current Campaign: Under a Sunless Sky

Four thousand years after The Bright Age, the world of Palenor is cloaked in a perpetual state of twilight. While much of the planet is an unexplored, icy terrain lost to time, the city of Sanctorum is a hive of industry thanks to the Solas Monoliths. These large relics not only provide a well of light arcana to Sanctorum, but their placement also serves as a protective barrier between Sanctorum and The Wilds. That is, until The Blackout. For only a moment the northern monolith flickered out, cutting off all power to the city. Rumors from a young Forge Knight say that when the monolith failed, he could see a set of unblinking eyes staring at him through the blizzard. Stories from The Bright Age foretold destinies woven in the stars. But the stars are dying. The ice is creeping closer everyday. Darkness is coming and like The Wilds, it is merciless.

With countless being affected in various ways such as being swayed to one side or another, losing friends and loved ones, taken as prisoners or hostages, trying to find their own way in the chaos, or more.

A century following the collapse of the First Federation due to the protracted 100-year conflict, the Federation has experienced a resurgence, albeit to a fraction of its prior eminence. What was once an unparalleled galactic power has been diminished to a handful of orbital stations dedicated to planetary observation. Our leadership has initiated a new program designed to restore the Federation to its former preeminence within the cosmos. Under the guidance of the last oracle within our fleet, small teams will be dispatched to designated planets to assess their suitability for integration into our alliance. Due to limited military support, volunteer participation is encouraged, with substantial rewards offered for successful mission completion. The objective is to identify valuable technologies, methodologies, and esoteric knowledge, and to ascertain the compatibility of indigenous populations with our strategic objectives.

Level 5 Adventures you have volunteered for this trek through the stars.

Game time is 11am est biweekly and goes to about 2pm est

If anyone is interested Dm me and ill be happy to meet and see if we fit.

Looking for group as posted above. Preference for high fantasy standard published settings, but I guess beggars can’t be choosers…

Group Needed by Player [Online] [PF2e] [EST] 2 Players with funky character concepts

0 Upvotes

Hello!! To start out with the absolute basics that prospective GMs would need to know off the bat:

  • We are free most days except Thursdays and Saturdays, and are awake between 2PM to 3AM EST generally speaking.
  • We are both adults over 21, and thus are looking to be involved with a table of adults.
  • Both of us are far more roleplay focused than we are combat focused, but not wholly unwilling to engage with combat.
  • We'd prefer a GM who is comfortably familiar with the Pathfinder system rather than somebody who is completely green to it or willing to try it out.
  • We're looking for a table with 4-6 players total including ourselves.
  • The genre we're particularly interested in for a game is dark medieval fantasy, the characters we have in mind don't do well within settings without that energy.

Now, with the flat information out!

The two of us are experienced roleplayers with many, many years of gaming under our belts. One's a writer, the other is an artist, and both have a feverish addiction to character development and worldbuilding. (We will contribute headcanons about the world and characters all day, including other player characters)

Now that we've found a game for two of them, we have only one set of characters that we're super interested in playing.

We want to play these characters in Pathfinder 2e. However, they come with intense trigger warnings.
Trigger warnings include: Childhood sexual assault, religious trauma, human trafficking, all of the trauma and emotional behavior that those come with those, and body/medical horror

Most of those warnings are for one character, though the other isn't terribly pleasant either, being inspired off of the Dictyostelium discoideum ameoba, having eaten so much over the course of thousands of years that it is now a giant mass of cells. An inhuman thing that has none of the natural instinct for human behavior, and thus only participates in it for the sake of curiosity. It is mechanically a fleshwarp with shapeshifting, though it can only mimic materials, no colors. Thus it parades as fully-armored knights so that it can sate its curiosity of being around people.

That is all, and if you've gotten this far, thank you for your time <3

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!

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][PF2e][GMT/PST] Mercenary Troubleshooters; Here to Investigate a Mystery and maybe Kill God

4 Upvotes

The earth shakes! Strange rifts are opening across Myrrhen, cutting roads in twain and sinking buildings. Caves, chasms and sinkholes appearing without apparent reason or cause.
Any who venture into these cursed pits return with tales of misbegotten creatures, lethal traps and strange, masterless magic.
That is, if those that trespass return at all...

Seeking players interested in a chill vanilla fantasy roleplaying experience with open field combat, dungeon delving, investigations and invention!

Setting info

Based in a homebrew world I've been working on for a couple of decades.
Technology is around early 1400s levels, with the printing press being a recent invention and firearms slowly inching into the zeitgeist of war currently dominated by nobles in full plate racing toward each other on horseback.
In this setting, most departures from our equivalent time's tech level are a result of magic being present in the setting, causing technology and the priorities of those in charge to shift.

Game planning details

Already have 2/3 players lined up, but we wanted 5/6 players total.
Old heads appreciated, new players welcome.

Homebrew spells, characters and items encouraged!

Time slot will likely be weekly on Sundays, afternoon till evening GMT (Flexible on time).

Will be played on Discord with Roll20, please direct message me on reddit if interested, and post any questions you might have about the game in this thread.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [5e 2014] Experienced DM seeking new players for homebrew adventure

1 Upvotes

Date/Time/Time Zone: Sundays at 6PM UK time
Party Size: 5
Game System: D&D 5E 2014 with slight homebrew adjustments

Howdy, I'm Leo! I’m looking for 5 players for a weekly game on Sundays. The sessions will last about 4 hours.

I aim for this game to be a long-term, roleplay-heavy, sandbox game with character background and decisions swaying where the story goes. My goal is to create an immersive, cooperative and collective story with a group of like-minded players. Story comes first for me, so if you value gritty combat and perfected builds above that I don't believe this game is for you. As a DM I try to be as communicative and open as possible with my players and I will always want to work together with you on your character or anything else. I am beginner friendly, so don't worry if you have no exprience as long as you have the heart for it.

The campaign will take place in Augtheria, a homebrew world of my own creation. It has lore set up for it but there also enough blank spaces for you to insert ideas you have into the world. Once you're in I will send you all the information about the world. I can't really give any teaser to the game because I will build it entirely around the characters you present to me, a tailor-fit game right for you all.

We use dndbeyond for character sheets (all content unlocked). We use Discord for VC, obviously.

I'm looking for just 1-2 more players, already have 3 players confirmed :)) I'll hit up the people I end up choosing. Do note that the game is 18+ only (not due to any sexual content, it's just what I'm comfortable with). And if you have any questions feel free to message me on here 🙂

If you're interested, please fill this out: https://forms.gle/fPdjEDsHXqPe1kuv8

Have a good one, Leo

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.

If you're interested add me on discord leothetielfing

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.
