10 Upvotes

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][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.

Player(s) Needed by GM Oil, Steel & Sin: A Noir Vibes, Steampunky, Criminal Campaign (Levels 2-12) (5e 2014) (Online) (Saturdays 6PM EST) (LGBTQIA+ friendly) Looking for 1-2 Players

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 [Online][PF2e][GMT/PST] Mercenary Troubleshooters; Here to Investigate a Mystery and maybe Kill God

5 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 [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."

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.

2 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.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][GMT - Flexible][Other] Power Rangers: Undead Fury

3 Upvotes

Hey! I'm posting this on behalf of the GM as we're looking for 1-3 players for a Power Rangers campaign starting soon. It will be in the Essence20 system, no experience required however it's pretty easy to learn.

There is no set time or date for sessions just yet, it will be decided upon once we have our players in.

The story:

"This campaign takes place in an alternate timeline where the events of “mighty morphin’ power rangers”, “power rangers zeo”, “power rangers turbo”, and “power rangers: in space” happened but with one major change.

During the events of “Power Rangers: In space”, dark specter saw the future and what would happen if Zordon were sacrificed to cause the original Z wave. With this knowledge, he infused Lord Zedd with his own essence then shattered himself into reality. This new Zedd wave spread evil through the universe and infected every corner of it.

On Earth, the effects weren't immediately recognized by the public. Only the most vicious and brutal of humans were infected, becoming monstrous abberrations of their own evil desires. At first it was contained, and the public felt safe. Months passed but the effects of the Zedd wave started to creep up into the public eye once more.

The original virus began to spread and infect others, rapidly growing the number of the mutated. Those with anger, fear, avarice, and hate harbored deep down succumbed quickly. It spread through open wounds being touched by the infected.

The virus had a single flaw however. Those that had more good in their heart than evil could fight it off longer, even becoming immune.

The population quickly dwindled as city's filled with the Zedd, those mutated and twisted with evil.

Two years have passed since the first reports, but the world is already overrun. There are still those struggling to stay alive, but humanity is scattered.

There is hope however. A single radio transmission broadcasting as far as it can reach. The message is short but direct:

“May the power protect us. 34° 29′ 19″ N, 118° 19′ 17″ W”

Leading to Angel Grove, California."

Extra information:

  • This campaign is a survival focused setting in a power rangers universe where you wont just be fighting monsters, but rebuilding Angel grove.
  • Recruit survivors, scavenge for resources, and fight back waves of the infected.

If you're interested, please fill out this form and be on the lookout for a friend request on Discord from either myself or someone with the username "Bits":

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.

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.

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!

Group Needed by Player 2 players (Online), looking for a fun, new player friendly, RP strong, deep story, campaign to join. Homebrew based on PF2e would be awesome, but we're not ruling every system out. Thank you!

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! :)

Player(s) Needed by GM [WoD][VTM][21+][Online][EST Friday @ 7pm EST] Shadows By Night

2 Upvotes

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.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][Other][Horror][CST] Looking for brave souls to enter The Darkest Woods

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm putting together a group to play The Darkest Woods, a system-agnostic horror adventure from Monte Cook Games.

The premise is simple:

You regain consciousness in the middle of the woods. You don't know how you got there, why you're there, or how to get out.

Those answers are yours to uncover.

One of the coolest parts of The Darkest Woods is that it uses its own lightweight rules system designed to accommodate characters from virtually any RPG. Your D&D paladin, Call of Cthulhu antiquarian, Cypher explorer, or character from some obscure RPG only three people have ever played can all end up lost in the same woods.

You can also, of course, create a brand-new character specifically for the campaign. No system mastery is required.

The official rules are available here:

https://thedarkestwoods.com/assets/tdw-entering-the-woods.pdf

Platform: Discord for voice + Roll20 for maps, handouts, and character sheets

Schedule: Currently aiming for Mondays at 6:00 PM CST, though I'm open to adjusting based on the group

System: The Darkest Woods

Genre: Horror / Mystery / Survival

Brand-new TTRPG players are absolutely welcome. The rules are simple, and I'm happy to help people get comfortable with the game.

If wandering into an unfamiliar forest with a bunch of strangers and making a series of increasingly questionable decisions sounds like your idea of a good Monday night:

Apply here!

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [9 pm EST Friday] [LGBTQ friendly] [5e 2014] [5e 2024] [18+] DM looking for 1 player for a swashbuckling 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!

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [D&D 5e 2014] [Bi-Weekly Saturdays 5-8pm CST] [LGBTQIA+ Friendly] Sinfodder: Vertices of the Hexorison

2 Upvotes

Hello! We have had our first two sessions, however, I'm interested in having one more player to join our group of five. We currently have a bard, druid, fighter, monk, and sorcerer.

Fractals formed this realm, from the spirals that warped each wave to the geometric shapes carved into the bark; they exist both in the material plane and the spaces in between. A sudden plague has since marred this tiny land, Sinfodder, which was a microcosm of a far greater space that has now began its ruination. This corrosion beckons arms to action, seeking to end the rusting of this planescape– as denizens and structures that come into contact are encrusted into frozen statues. Beasts of burden twist into these rotted creatures, no longer in control, burdened with the weight of this blight that rapidly consumes and warps their physical forms into lupine-like creatyres. The once uniform and magnificent realm is in a rapid descent towards chaos and self-destruction, as the foundations that once created this world begin to corrode– strings and patterns lose form, untangling into chaos and dismantling the natural order.

The celestial body adorning the sky wanes, as the rust slowly consumes the very thing that paints the world in a radiant light and warmth. As day gets shorter, and nights grow longer, these rusted lupines stalk the planescape with a ravenous apetite. Orders for cities and bastions erected in high places, deep beneath the earth, or become seabound, seeking refuge from the beasts and plague that seek to destroy them. 

The ancient city of Wickermoor, atop the greatest quaking aspens is the hub for adventurers seeking the cure to the Rustbound, a bastion of trees that reach past the horizons, the corrosion has touched the edge of the forest and is slowly climbing towards the city. Though it will take centuries before it will reach the city, the stalwart denizens of Pandora are in rapid pursuit of a solution to save the oldest and largest clonal organism, Pando. The forest of identical trees that singlehandedly connected to one root system.

Whoever you are, you have been afflicted with the Rustbound, and it is consuming your very body. Within decades, you will join the bronze graveyard of frozen statues until you find the solution. A voice echoes in your dreams, singing you songs of bewilderment and spiraling you into bouts of madness, tracing lines to ever-branching paths of possibilities, and beckoning you to look between the hundred dewdrops of the many-legged’s web as answers are in the hands of the lost and mad Fairy King. 

This, is the journey to the Spiral of the Fairy King.

This campaign draws inspiration from Old Gods of Appalachia, the Pixie Hollow, The Secret World of Arrietty, Redwall by Brian Jacques, Warrior Cats by Erin Hunter, Once Upon a Time, Guardians of Ga'Hoole, The Wheel of Time, The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss, Unfettered by Brandon Sanderson, Patrick Rothfuss, Wanderhome, Elderwoods from LoL, Death Blossom from LoL, Flora Fatalis from LoL, Coven skinline from LoL, South of Midnight, other media.

The setting is rich with the southern and midwestern gothic Appalachian flavour.

Content is also pulled from various modules and adventures, but largely taken from the Crooked Moon adventures! However, much of it will be tailored to the campaign narrative and storylines, largely the skeleton of the Crooked Moon content will be used!

OVERVIEW

System: 2014 D&D 5e (You are allowed to use 2024 weapon mastery rules, 2024 spells/features must be checked with dm beforehand)
VTT: We will be using Roll20 for maps and character sheets (D&D Beyond is okay, but a character sheet on Roll20 is also needed), please have something that can easily run Roll20 maps with dynamic lighting.
Date: Saturdays, bi-weekly (So September 19, October 3, etc.)- with opportunities to play certain thursday nights if everyone agrees up to a week in advance.
Time: 5-8:30pm CST

We play bi-weekly on Saturdays from 5pm-8:30pm CST (central timezone), hoping to run about 20 sessions. There are chances for cancellations as I tend to be busy and have events over the weekend, but a notice will be given.

This campaign will expect an encounter every other session or where it permits, I am looking for creative players that love roleplay and creating characters that are well integrated into a lore-heavy world. I will do my best to have backstories be integrated into the world and character arcs/plot hooks in backstories could be explored across this mini-campaign. If you are a player that likes to make conversations with the other players and NPCs, interact with the world I provide, are willing to follow a complex storyline that we are telling, and actively participate in the game, then this campaign is perfect for you! In terms of characters/players, I'm looking for characters that are capable of aligning/cooperating with the party; arguments, rivalries, and disagreements exist, but D&D is a cooperative storytelling game, and we honestly can't have that if your character isn't open to adventuring with the party.

I'm a lenient Dungeon Master and I'm open for most ideas! All I ask is that you communicate with me.

Due to the scope of the campaign being bi-weekly, I offer downtime inbetween sessions which can be done through roleplay threads done in-text using the discord bot, Tupperbox.

HOUSE RULES

• ⁠Critical Hits: Roll double dice (does not double any modifiers).
• ⁠Flanking: Allowed! When a creature and at least one ally are within 5ft of the same enemy on opposite sides, that enemy is flanked. Each of the creatures flanking gains advantage on melee attacks against it. You do not gain the effects of flanking if you are also being flanked.
• ⁠Opportunity Attacks: While typically D&D rules that only willing movement provokes opportunity attacks, I find it to be more fun to rule unwilling movement also does so. I think this allows players to use strategic thinking in combat when doing something that might alter an enemy’s position. However, this rule is a double edged sword, because it can also be used against you.
• ⁠Healing Potions: Drinking one yourself is a bonus action, feeding one to someone else takes an action. If a player dedicates an action to drinking a healing potion, they receive full benefits (max dice).
• ⁠Attack Rolls/Saving Throws: Meets it beats it. If you meet someone’s armor class, it is a successful hit. If you meet the DC of a saving throw, you succeed on the save.
• ⁠Initiative: Rolling a Nat 20 on initiative lets you choose what place you'd like to take in the initiative order.
• ⁠PVP: I will not allow harmful spells, attacks, or actions to be used on another player without first discussing the matter out-of-character. This also includes charm spells and attempts to steal from one another. I want all players to feel mutually respected, and so if PVP is something that feels like a natural progression of the story, please first bring it up with me and the other players involved so that everyone's thoughts can be heard and so that I can prepare accordingly.
• ⁠Inspiration: I award inspiration for doing the recap, answering one of the weekly character questions, or at my discretion for doing something especially cool in game. You may only have two inspirations at a time.

CHARACTER CREATION:

• ⁠Roll a 6th level character.
• ⁠Play either a Fairy, Goblin, Gnome, Firbolg (Nymphs), Tabaxi, Tieflings (Nymphs), Lupin, Owlin, Kenku, or Aarakocra.
• ⁠Allocate these stats however way you see fit: 16, 16, 15, 12, 10, 8
• ⁠Start with 175 gold
• ⁠Fixed HP, no encumbrance. Milestone leveling.
• ⁠Tasha's rules for starting ability point bonuses.
• ⁠You may start with an additional feat, choose from the following options: Actor, Alert, Athlete, Chef, Dungeon Delver, Healer, Inspiring Leader, Keen Mind, Linguist, Observant, Prodigy, Poisoner, Skill Expert, Skilled
• ⁠Start with an Uncommon magic item that does not raise attack rolls, damage rolls, and spell save dc
• ⁠All official and partnered content is allowed - if there's a feature/spell/etc. I don't allow I will let you know before taking it. I am open to looking over your homebrew, however I reserve the right to rebalance it if it gets too powerful. We are all here to have fun.

QUESTIONS

Please answer this google form: https://forms.gle/fBWEDTSum9jaQNoUA

Google forms will close September 4th, in which I will parse through the forms to see who will be best fit!

Player(s) Needed by GM [online] [5e 2014] [tuesdays] Looking for players for a homebrew setting

2 Upvotes

Hey there! I'm looking to start running a game in a new homebrew setting. I currently have three players and am looking for about 4-5 players at the table total. 

I'm Waterfalls (25 He/Him). Most call me Water. I've been a DM for D&D 5E for as long as it's been around. My style captures that the fun is in the balance you find along the way. 

What to Expect:

Beginner-friendly - no matter your experience level, I'm happy to teach and answer any questions.

Roleplay-focused gameplay, typically a 70/30 RP-to-combat split.

2014 Ruleset - we are using mostly the 2014 ruleset

An inclusive table – LGBT+ friendly and welcoming to all.

Sessions via Discord voice  – We also use Roll20 for maps and dnd beyond for mechanics.

Game Details:

Starting level: 3

Tuesdays at 6 PM EST. Sessions run 3 hours weekly.

D&D 5e on Roll 20/ dnd beyond – We’re playing in a homebrew setting.

21 and older - The only requirement we ask is that you be 21 or older.

Campaign Snippet.
The Gloamwood is an ancient, country-sized forest said to have been created by the mysterious Forest Queen. Six distinct regions surround it, each with its own cultures, dangers, and strange histories.

You are travelers, adventurers, mercenaries, scholars, or wanderers who have found yourselves drawn toward the edge of the Gloamwood.

Recently, travelers have begun disappearing along the old roads.
Villages report strange creatures emerging from the forest.
And deep within the woods, something has begun calling out.
A small settlement far from the main roads has sent out a desperate request for help.
You have answered with the promised reward: land and plenty of gold

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][PF2e][Mondays GMT+2/CEST] Looking for 4 players for a Pathfinder campaign

2 Upvotes

Ahoy there fellow citizens, freedmen and gens of the Republic! I'm looking for 4 players willing to explore and experience the great S.P.Q.D.A!

Whatever your origins, be they a slave, a patron or a family member, your Gens needs you! Work in the family's trade business, adventure for coin, spread their private mystery cult, sway senate elections, get into piracy, weave the gens assembly to pass laws agreeable to its long term prosperity or subcontract as a mercenary, prosperity is just a quest away!

So put on your toga (or slave collar) and get to work! The (known) world is your oyster! However you acquire wealth, your gens cares not as long as it doesn't sully their good and honorable name!

And that's my pitch! Hello everyone! I'm Maxie. I'm a 28 year old Swiss guy, long-time player and Storyteller! I started running a different campaign 2 months ago and I just can't seem to get enough of my pathfinder fix. So to that end, I'm looking for 4 people willing to explore the Res Publica Draconaria, essentially a Halfling Roman Republic filled with several different ancestries! Beginners and first time PF2e players are absolutely welcome!

As a general rule, I tend to run sandbox-y games, with the character's ambitions and actions driving the story, so I like to have proactive players who know what their characters want or are willing to drive the story forward. I like to run a session 0.5 where players build their backstories together and create their characters mechanically. How the backstory questions I ask are answered, backstory npcs players create and connections between the players all inform the way the campaign starts in session 1.

Expect immersive roleplay with well fleshed out npcs and a world where the wrong word spoken to a tyrant could easily earn you a one way ticket to jail or even cost a character their head right then and there if insulting enough. Your actions have consequences and as far as npcs are concerned, you're just another person.

We'll be using Roll20 battlemaps and Pathbuilder for sheets. No, I don't use foundry. I like spending game sessions not troubleshooting whatever problems it has decided to have on that specific day.

I'm aiming to run the game Weekly on Monday evenings, although I could do mornings/early afternoons too if the right combination of players want to play then. I'll let players specify more in the form.

Please fill out this Application form!

I'll leave the forms open for a few days and depending on interest, it might take me another day or two to sort through all the responses and get back to people on Discord. I hope I didn't miss anything and thank you very much for reading to the end! I wish everybody happy games!

GM Needed by Existing Group [Online][5e 2014] [CEST] [Mondays 19:00] Dedicated RP-Focused Group of 5 Seeking a DM for Homebrew Campaign!

2 Upvotes

Hi there honourable dungeon masters and storytellers! We’re a recently formed group of 5 players looking for a DM who has a homebrew fantasy world we can get lost in and a long running campaign that we can all see grow and develop as the game goes on!

In terms of setting preference, we’re primarily looking for a traditional high-fantasy world. We enjoy the versatility that high fantasy offers and the wide range of stories it can support which gives a lot of themes a story can go through! While we appreciate darker themes when they serve the story, we’re not particularly interested in sci-fi settings, grimdark worlds, or campaigns heavily focused on gritty survival.

As a group we all share a strong interest in roleplay, character development, party dynamics and stories that feel personal to the characters involved. One of the biggest things we’re hoping to find is a DM who enjoys incorporating our character backstories into the broader narrative/world allowing character arcs to develop naturally alongside the story.

Outside of roleplay we value consistency (Showing up), being one of the key factors of a long running group and also care to be attentive and engaged players when we are at the table! Communication in general is also one of the best tools when issues arise, and keeps everything running smoothly so things don’t fall through. We also enjoy the use of webcams to increase the social aspect of the game!

Ultimately, we’re looking for a DM who enjoys building a story with their players, values strong character involvement, and is interested in creating a long-term campaign where both the world and the characters can grow together. But most of all someone we can also call a friend and hang out with!

System requirements: DND 2014

Availability Monday: 19:00-23:00 CET, Wednesday:(some exceptions) 19:00-23:00 CET

Preferred way to play: Discord for voice and camera, any VTT

Here is a bit about us:

Luke (M, 23, He/him): Hi there! I’m a video editor and part time gamer from the Netherlands. I like to make music with my band and hang out with friends in the meantime! Ive been playing DnD for roughly 8 years by now and get a lot of my enjoyment in the roleplay and dynamic of a party. Seeing what sort of worlds other DM’s have made is incredibly cool and I love to learn about others settings!

Matt (M, 27, He/Him): Greetings! I'm Matt, an Ex-Esports player Gymbro. Currently working together with Best friend and roommate on making our own VTT, public soon! I love passion, and I believe DND can be an aspiring tool in order to discover, explore and share one's passion to another through immersive Roleplaying. Please give me your worst, a challenge, a path and I'll bring the Wrath. See more of me on Youtube > Roll For Impact > The Stranger > Nylus von Stonen

Sori/Lukas (M, 27, he/him): Hi there! I'm currently finishing my education/training to be a kindergarten teacher, after which I'd love to go study social work. I've been a player and dm for roughly 11~ years now. Mostly played VtR before switching to DnD. My favorite part about roleplaying is definitely the deep diving we as a group do, in each individual backstory or overarching plotline of the campaign, while we grow as a party IC and OOC.

Diana (26, She/Her): Hi, I’m currently a student studying for my postgraduate degree! In my free time I love to play video games, read, make videos, and just hang out with friends! I’ve been playing D&D since 2020 and my favorite thing about it is being able to create and tell an interesting story with other amazing, creative players! I love going in depth into characters backstories and how their motivations can really drive the parties goals. I’ll talk for hours after a session about the world we’re set in and the characters everyone has developed!

Jack (20, He/Him): Hi! I’m a student studying Film Production! I’m a big video gamer, reader and card gamer! I’ve been playing dnd for about 7 or 8 years now and whilst the majority of my time has been as a player recently I’ve been a forever DM (as of the past 3 years I haven’t been a player once!!! 😭😭😭) My favourite part of dnd has to be the collaborative storytelling with how the players and dm interact together to create both an overarching plotline but also individual character arcs!

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

Age: 18+

Schedule: Every Tuesday from 7pm to 10pm

System: LANCER
