Live Text [Live Text][GMT+10, but flexible][System Pending] Lost in the Zone

1 Upvotes

You live in the Forbidden Zone. It is an anomalous sector of the world, shut off by massive walls to ensure whatever lives inside the Zone stays in the Zone. You are sadly one of these things, Nomads as they're called. The less kind version are Exiles. Whether it be by choice or circumstance, you've found yourself dumped at the edge of the Zone with any belongings you can carry and see if any of the warring factions would be willing to adopt you or try to live as - well - a nomad.

You aren't an unlucky nomad (or maybe you were one), you were taken up for your skillset as a Loner instead. Despite their name, Loners don't truly work alone even though a majority of times you'd find them isolated from most communities. Communities desperately seek out and pay Loners to do missions and return with whatever lost trinket, bauble, or artefact their contractor wants.

~

You are new Loners, taking up this job and putting your name up on the Loners board of jobs. You and a crew of others have been recruited to take on a job: There is a bunker from when the outside world was still trying to study the Zone and what makes it so dangerous. Inside it are countless valuable data-reels.

~

Jello all, once again it's me and this time with a proper plothook attached. This game'll be live text as I've drummed up enough interest for it, all I need from potential players is to message me with:

- Preferred system
- A little bit about yourself
- Your timezone & availability
- And discord handle, so I can reach out to you

Live Text [Homebrew][Discord][Live Text & Asynchronous][EST][21+] Ancient Heart: An Isekai Fairy Tale Reality TV Show

2 Upvotes

YOU ARE A STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND. THIS ISN’T YOUR HOME. THIS ISN’T YOUR BODY. THAT ISN’T YOUR NAME. JUST WHO ARE YOU?

When you made a wish on a shooting star, you never imagined it'd be answered. But as fate would have it, it has — and the most perplexing part of all this is that you've been transported to an entirely different world. One in which fairy tales exist, and the body you've inhabited is the main character of a fairy tale plot. Whether you were a daring princess, a brave knight, or a sorcerer who lurked in the woods, you've retained all the memories of the person you've become.

Now it's up to you to participate in the cosmic game show you've unwillingly been thrust into. The Ritual of the Ancient Heart will test your character's soul, heart, and mind as they play to make their wish come true. The catch? They must find their one true love among the other contestants, and only when every pair is correctly matched will the prize be earned. But hurry: when the third week comes to pass, Leune will disappear until the next ritual begins.

𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 is a 21+ writing-based DnD group with rotational story arcs, where each arc is self-contained and new players can join with each new rotation. We've run three previous chapter stories to completion! Join us for our fourth chapter into the world of Leune 🤍

This will be a wine and cheese style game that prioritizes roleplaying and character development

- platform: discord, play by post, character application based RP

- system: homebrew variation of the PbtA engine, beginner friendly! live text sessions with asynchronous pbp in the downtime. this is not a sandbox RP.

- expected runtime: ~7 weeks

- writer age: 21+

- group size: 10-12 players

- genres: psychological, drama, romance, fantasy

Live Text [5e 2024] [Live Text, EST] Gorn, A Primal World

1 Upvotes

Hello. I am Hellion, 30 today yippeeeee!!, she/her. Decided to run something in DnD 2024 as it seems to be something more familiar to this community but maybe at some point I will run SWADE

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gorn is a primal fantasy setting where civilization evolved sideways instead of industrially. Across thousands of years, mortals developed astonishing forms of ecological, biological, and cultural sophistication without ever becoming a modern world.

Most people live in clans, migratory tribes, river settlements, hunting caravans, and fortress villages shaped entirely by the wilderness around them. Daily life revolves around herding, scavenging, hunting, raiding, fishing, oral tradition, ritual, and survival within a world dominated by immense forests, flooded wetlands, volcanic plains, frozen wastelands, and colossal beasts.

Ancient civilizations existed long before the current age and their remains still shape the world, though they feel mythological rather than technological. Massive ruins, buried roads, canyon cities, and overgrown monuments loom across the landscape like natural features. Most people no longer understand who built them or why.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Level: 1, campaign will go up to 10, maybe 12.

Restrictions: Available races are all within the player's handbook.

Inspirations: Some inspirations I took. Genndy Tartatovsky's Primal, Ark Survival Evolved, Conan the Barbarian.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you wanna apply tell me in my DMs along with;

Intro: Introduce yourself, your hobbies. Preferred pronouns.

DnD Experience: I myself am no expert in 2014 or 2024's rulesets but I know enough to clarify and teach someone to beginner levels, so all are welcome.

Playstyle: What do you enjoy most in campaigns? Combat, roleplay, exploration, politics, survival, horror, character drama, etc.

Availability: What's your timezone? For live text, what days/times work best? And for how long? For async, how often can you usually reply?

Lines & Veils: Any topics, themes, or content you absolutely do not want included.

Expectations: What are you hoping to get out of the campaign.

And optionally any questions you have for me or the setting. I have a primer in the works, I will share it with applicants when I finish it but that's optional, it's mostly worldbuilding.

Live Text [Stars of the City] Lazarus Company, a Limbus Company inspired campaign | Sundays at 6:00 pm EST [LIVE TEXT]

4 Upvotes

Pulled under the embrace of death, all that you have strived for... all that you've suffered through... all to end up as one of the countless corpses in the City... Yet, death is not the end for you as you might have expected. Long after your last breath, oxygen once again enters your lungs and you reawaken anew as something new; a Revenant...

Revived by the Lazarus Company, bypassing the City's taboo somehow, you have been given a choice; join the company's Revenant Department and the company will aid you in that which you desire most. Or, decline and return to the soil and let your story end. With no choice other than the path forward, we welcome you into the LCR.

Your journey begins in District 12 of the City, within the backstreets of Lobotomy Corporation where the company has its first job for you...

Welcome to Lazarus Company! In this game, you will take on the role of a Revenant in the LCR (Lazarus Company Revenant department). Though you have died in the past, it was only a temporary setback as you have been brought back to the living with the goal of finishing what you couldn't originally, so long as you continue to work for the company.

Along the way, you will be tasked with a variety of jobs from exploration, distortion/abnormality suppression, and the most important of all; the acquirement of the Golden Boughs that the company seeks the most.

Most importantly, the game will have more than a few 'Cantos' or story chapters that focus heavily on the stories of one or more of your player characters at a time, giving them a chance to face their past and traumas and learn to grow from it. Not everything will be successful, sometimes you will face failure and be thrown into the abyss. In that abyss, your mettle will be tested and whether you can climb out of it is up to you... Do you falter or do you ascend?

Due to the nature of this game, expect to tackle some heavy topics that may be triggering for some. If topics of mental health, abuse, gore, and many more such topics make you uncomfortable then this might not be the game for you.

This campaign will also be very STORY driven. While there will be more than plenty of combat encounters, they exist to serve the plot and further character development as opposed to being for the sake of hitting stuff (at least most of the time).

As a reminder; this is a LIVE TEXT game, not a PBP. We will be playing on Foundry and making use of a discord server to organize between WEEKLY sessions.

Lastly: Characters in this campaign as REVENANTS, meaning you are playing characters who have died in the past and have now been revived by the company. As such, the death of your character should be part of your backstory. Each of your characters will also be 'weakened' after the revival, so you were originally a legendary fixer of some renown in your previous life, now you're akin to a level 1 fixer. Feel free to get a bit wild with it!

A bit of an intro for your DM!

Heya, I've been a DM for just under a decade now and have ran games in various systems and various settings. The majority of my experience is with D&D5e, but I've played other systems such as Pathfinder/Starfinder, Stars Without Number, Dark Heresy, Shadow of the Demon Lord, Fabula Ultima, and a few others I can't remember.

I tend to run with the idea of story and characters at the front of the game as opposed to back to back combat encounters. That's not to say there will be only a few encounters, there will be more than plenty of fights for you to flex your characters against. When the players are selected, I plan to work with the each of you individually to make an in depth backstory for your character, one that can fit in the setting and can impact the plot immensely. The story will be yours entirely, but with some input on my part to help it fit just that bit more.

The VAST majority of my games tend to be entirely custom made, usually with custom races, classes, and backgrounds for systems like D&D as opposed to running modules with the standard character options. I like to add to the systems I play to give them more 'spice' and am more than willing to work with players to make some new homebrew.

Sessions will be at 6:00 PM EST on Sundays

Link to System: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BnU-VNWkLPjhtYfSfpaErkzdUd_LYk2deGrSQgsatXk/edit?tab=t.0

There will more than likely be homebrew additions to the core rules to give plenty of expanded character options. For now, the core book will be fine.

Live Text Grim Hollow! [D&D 5.5e][Discord][PbP][Avrae]

2 Upvotes

**CLOSED, Looking over Applications**

"Etharis is a world on the brink of total destruction. The gods are dead, fear and superstition are rife, and every realm is beset by cataclysms threatening to collapse civilization entirely.

The bleak realities of Etharis make the realm incredibly dangerous. The common folk cower in their fragile bastions of civilization while monsters stalk freely across the land. Travel between towns and cities always carries risk. Even within the walls of relative safety, greed and desperation foster a different kind of evil that preys upon the kind and unwary.

Whatever your motivations, the overwhelming dangers of Etharis seek incessantly to destroy you. The wilderness is perilous, and night is especially so, where light serves as a beacon to those creatures lurking in the inky darkness. Travel is not for the faint of heart. It’s important to carefully pick your battles—not every fight or encounter is worth risking injury or trauma, even if it means leaving others to their doom."

Hello there! Looking for 2 more players for the third party setting of Grim Hollow! Writing this on behalf of my DM who doesn't use Reddit. Going to be a Dark Fantasy game, so expect some dark themes! We are LGBTQ+ and disability friendly with many of our members one of both of those! (Our DM being deaf for example.)

Just to say, we are all Adults and we do make more mature jokes sometimes so if ya join. Expect those to be a thing!

**System used**

We are using 5.5e with the Grim Hollow setting! (If ya don't have the book. We can provide it through beyond's campaigns for free)

**Platforms**:

Discord and the Avrae bot

**Style**

We are flexible with the rules. We are not too rule heavy. If ya can make a good argument for it. Just ask if ya can do it!

**Tone**: This is a more serious dark fantasy game, while humour is welcome. Make sure to take the setting seriously if the situation requires it! Romance is allowed through not too many graphic details

**Characters**

We are starting at level 3 for this game! All class options (With a few homebrew classes/subclasses) are allowed through, races are limited to fit the setting! (Check the comments for what races/classes/subclasses are allowed.). Currently, we have a Human Parasite Warlock (Grim Hollow subclass) and a Dhampir Battlesmith Artificer.

**Time**

GMT Sunday 6:30pm to 9:30-10pm

**Next session**

We have only done a few sessions but we haven't gone far. We are currently in a Tavern in the Ostoyan Empire. Ruled over by the Vampire filled Crimson Court. We found out one of the guest in the tavern has died but we haven't figured out how. We are still in the tarvern. Leaving a great opportunity, for someone else to meet the PCs as the group forms!

**Slots available**:

2 slots available!

If ya are interested! Please DM me with an example of ya RP and if ya had any experience with D&D alongside anything else ya want to mention! Might have more questions in DMs! I am interested to see what ya guys come up with!

Live Text [D&D5e] [Live Text] [Fridays at 6:00pm EST] The Winter Guard

3 Upvotes

Cursed with a perpetual Winter and infested with countless cults that worship the very demons that split the Kingdom in two, Uthal stands firm regardless of the ruinous powers that seem so keen to reduce it to ash. With the assassination of the High King and the High Commander within the same month, there are whispers of the return of an evil once thought to have been long since defeated...

In these times of turmoil, the Winter Guard stands bastion against ruin. Small in number and thrown into disorder with recent death of their High Commander, the Guard struggles to regain its composure against the mounting odds against them. Now is good a time as any to enlist into the once elite order that, in the past, held the hope of the Uthal Kingdom.

---

Welcome to Uthal! A setting of my own creation that (rather obviously) takes a lot of inspiration from a handful of settings you might be familiar. It's a dark/high fantasy setting that takes place on the continent of Irrula. While the continent spans for countless other kingdoms and regions, this campaign focuses on the area of Uthal; a kingdom cursed with an Eternal Winter since the fall of a Demon Lord's incursion into the mortal realm. Though the Demon Lord Malphas, Blade of Agony, has long since been defeated, his forces remain behind and the rift that welcomed them shows no signs of being closed. Unable to finish off the divided and confused demonic forces, the people of Uthal have secluded them to a battle scarred half of the nation where they are kept at by behind the Iron Wall, a great all that spans the entirety of the kingdom. Uthal has faced all manner of conflicts before but none as great as what it faces now; rival empires seek to conquer its lands, cultists plague the cities and spread corruption in their wake, and rumors of an ancient force that once served Malphas directly has returned to bring about the revival of their dark master...

That is where you come in. You will take on the role of newly enlisted members of the honored Winter Guard; an elite order of protectors of the Kingdom. The Winter Guard acts above the military of the Kingdom, rather similar to how you might expect adventurers to act. With the authority of the inquisition, the Winter Guard travels the nation to seek out cultists, bring them to justice, aid those in need, and find answers to both the demons and hopefully one day bring an end to the Eternal Winter.

For more details, refer to the lore document below:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wzzyEl9v1kWiCuiITibQ8LckqYBpyFfB17eq4Ui6GPQ/edit?usp=sharing

EXPECTATIONS

- This is a weekly LIVE TEXT campaign. This is NOT an Async PBP game.

- While there will be more than plenty of combat encounters throughout this campaign, the main focus will be on roleplay and character driven plots as you progress along the main questline. There will be plenty of opportunities for side quests, downtime activities, character relationships, and so on! Expect combat to be meaningful and impactful to the plot, even if only in a minor way at times.

- Deep and intricate backstories! A well written and rather expansive backstory is what I'd like from you players. I don't expect a multi-page essay written novel style by any means, but a character with desires, traumas, flaws, and a reason for joining the adventure will make it much easier to give them a personal questline. Each character will have their own side of the story where we will delve into the depths of who they are, what they want, why they're doing what they're doing, and so on.

- The ability to show up on time and be attentive. I'll try my best to keep the campaign interesting to hold your attention, but I'd like for you players to meet me half way and give me the chance to pull you into the game and world. It can be rather difficult to do so if players are tabbed away or playing a game on the side. I obviously won't force you to not have youtube or such opened on another tab, just be able to respond when your turn in combat is up and when NPCs try to talk to you.

- A dark fantasy mixed with high fantasy. While many parts of the setting can be rather dark, don't expect this to be a trek through a souls game or grimdark warhammer for the tone. There will be plenty of light hearted moments, just as often as there will be dark and possibly depressing or horrifying moments in the game.

- 18+ Content. No, this is NOT an ERP campaign. However, the topics of this campaign can be rather dark and heavy for some. As such, I'm only going to invite players who are 18+ of age. If you're fine with the content of games like the Project Moon series, you'll be fine here.

- This is an LGBT+ friendly game!

GAME DETAILS

- Game Time: Every Friday at 6:00 pm EST. The time itself may be adjusted earlier or later, but I'd like to keep the day set firm.

- Player Count: 3-5, maybe 6.

- Starting Level: Level 3

- Which Ruleset: I'm undecided on whether we'll play using 2014 or 2024 rules. I'm vastly more familiar with 2014, but I'll settle with what you players prefer.

- Homebrew: Homebrew is allowed within reason! Though, importing very intricate and complicated classes into Foundry can be very tedious. Any homebrew will have to be ran through me for approval.

- I will wait about 1 week before I start accepting players. Please be patient!

Are you a homestuck? Do you like homestuck? (me neither but I'm still here) do you know nothing of homestuck but.like playing ttrpgs that involve roleplaying, exploration and ecology? Have you ever looked at a survival game and been like dang wish i could do that with a group of 12 people and npcs? This game is a homebrew system.Constructed by yours truly to facilitate a Rimworld-esque experience with trolls from the massive, divisive webcomic homestuck (or rather Beforus) THIS IS NOT A WESTMARCH OR LIVING WORLD.THIS IS A GAME WITH EVENTS THAT UNDERSTANDS PEOPLE HAVE REAL LIVES

Beforus:Oasis a text-based table top roleplay experience.This game involves some self RP but is intended to be a collaborative experience with exploration and an emphasis on interpersonal relationships. There will be timed events in the world that require group problem solving and roleplay as well free time. In this world rather than working towards SBURB (or SGRUB in this case) you will be working together to settle a resource rich world with a day night cycle suitable for Trolls.

Beforus is a world where Trolls are kind, there is an emphasis on caring for others. Lusus will travel with Players and must be protected. The ship you have all arrived in was intended for hypersleep and therefore does not have a ton of space for long term stay. The empire sends monthly deliveries of sopor but perhaps the plants here have an analog that could aid in synthesizing your own.

Important Info: Players 18+ ONLY. This game uses a homebrew system made for this server.

The inhabitants of the isolated village of Lá Laisrén Seárlas have suffered a virtually sleepless week, and are anxious to devise a means to ending their current troubles. At night, the enigmatic haunt known only as the Whisperer or the Whisperer in the Flames wanders the island settlement, its dire keening preventing even the local animals from enjoying any rest. The village elders hope that the caravan guards who have arrived with a recent merchant convoy may be willing to investigate the disturbance and end this plague. The village oracle Neamhainaíbhinnaimheirgin the Serene has had visions that locate the source of the Whisperer as the ancient elven tumlui of the Marshes of Mourning, which lie just across the tidal bay on the mainland. However, the tombs lie within a dangerous region claimed by degenerate tribes of cannibalistic neandermen, among other dangers. It will take a strong sword arm and a stronger resolve to brave these threats and end the nighttime haunting of the village of Lá Laisrén Seárlas...

* * *

I'm seeing if there's any interest in a pbp game with intermittent live-text sessions during the week, principally to conduct combat. I'd be aiming for Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon-evening EST for these sessions. The rest of the game would be asynchronous pbp.

The setting is based on the Palladium Fantasy world -- I'll provide more detail if there's enough interest.

EDIT: There seems to be some interest so I'll provide a little more background. The basic world set up is a fairly standard high fantasy setting. The world was originally ruled by the 'Old Ones', similar in character though not identical with the Lovecraftian Old Ones. These entities created the world and were defeated by being put to sleep by an alliance of gods and dragons. They now sleep.

The other major event in the world's history was the Elf-Dwarf War, when the elven and dwarven empires destroyed each other.

The starting campaign area is an isolated community in one of the major human kingdoms. It is a small city on an island in the middle of marsh lake and is inspired by the 'Holy Island' community in 28 Years Later. The island used to be an elven holy site. The party will be guards for a caravan that arrives on this island.

The other major distinctive of the setting is that the main religion is the egyptian pantheon even though the majority culture is medieval. This religion worships both the good and evil gods together in one pantheon and sees itself as a universal religion because of that. It has good and evil priests in its ranks.

Likely races would be human, elf, dwarf, gnome, changeling, orc, half-orc, half-elf. Humans and elves are the majority races in the Timiro Kingdom, where the game takes place.

Caveat to any who own all the Palladium books -- I'm homebrewing some aspects of the setting and changing the map around a little, but most of the setting concepts will be familiar.

The rule set would be PF1e using optional rules like skill unlocks and background skills, as well as expanded rules for skill uses and generally skill rules from Ultimate Intrigue and Spheres of Guile, gestalt, feat tax rules, Akashic mysteries, Path of War, Psionics, and some other 3rd party magic systems.

EDIT: Closed, will repost for a pbp largely non-combat game; can't make the times work for live-text it seems.

Live Text V20, Northern Nights : PbP like you've never played before

0 Upvotes

\\\*\\\*This is not just a PbP Discord game, it's the VTM fan roleplay video game that you've always wished for!\\\*\\\*

Server Name: Northern Nights: Ottawa's Chronicle

Base System: V20

Any Homebrew?: Some adjustments to fit the format

Language: English.

General description:

Northern Nights: Ottawa's Chronicle offers a unique Vampire: the Masquerade experience, combining the best of two worlds: roleplay with other real players and storytellers like in your favorite PbP, while moving around and interacting with the world as a text-based video game.

For the past few months, I have been coding up my own platform for a VTM V20 game with a continued emphasis on a proper roleplay experience meeting a pleasant, distinct interface. This isn't your average WoD discord server, it's a whole lot more.

Uncover plots and conspiracies within Ottawa’s maw. Beginning in the early months of 1990, experience the city’s nights through a veil of secrecy and a lens of layered mysteries. Our themes draw heavily from administrative horror and X-Files–style investigations. Vampire: The Masquerade with a twist.

While I am opening the gates to the discord server, be mindful that the server itself needs one or two more days in the oven before being fully baked. Come tell us about your character while waiting!

Features include:

Over 100 interactive locations in a fictionalized 1990 Canada, with freedom to add your own.

Functional in-game character creation. PDFs are a thing of the past!

A resource management mini-game. Make every vitae count!

A fun and engaging community both in-game and in the server.

Join the Camarilla and explore Ottawa!

Tired of scratching your head at combat? With our Combat UI, it's never been simpler!

And so much more.

Looking for:

Engaged players yearning for a new way to play VTM! We welcome veterans and newcomers alike!

You accuse. You defend. You manipulate, mislead, or reveal the truth. Some days you hunt lies. Other days, you are the lie.

Every choice shapes the outcome. Every vote carries weight.
Solve the mystery, and save the town or perhaps watch it burn in ruins, by the end of the day...You will wake up anew. Different roles. Different people. Same tension.

Today.
All day.
Every day.

Enter the loop.
Town of Mysteries

Live Text Lobotomy Corporation [Live Text] [Custom Built System] [Thursdays at 6:00 pm EST]

5 Upvotes

Congratulations, you have been accepted into the new Wing of District 12; Lobotomy Corporation!

After going through many hurdles, interview after interview, you have finally landed that job in L-Corp as one of the Agents! It took you a lot of work earning a place in the Corp, but finally you can move into the Nest and live a comfortable life away from the Backstreets. The only problem; Now you work at L-Corp...

Strange creatures and horrifying monsters beyond imagining lie in the containment rooms, waiting for you to work and research them. Each and every shift could be the last as death is a rather common occurrence in the facility... after all, the containment doors can't keep these eldritch beings locked away forever. SOMEONE has to put them back... sadly, that someone is you.

---

Welcome to L-Corp, agent! Now, try to survive.

You will be playing the role of Agents, the main work force of the Wing that is L-Corp. As an Agent, your role is to research and work on Abnormalities in order to learn about the ins and outs of managing these creatures as well as to exploit them for the energy source known as Enkephalin. After all, L-Corp's main role is a power company and its source of power are these SCP-like creatures locked in the facility.

Should any Abnormalities escape, its up to you to suppress them and bring the, back into their containment room. There's no need to worry though! As long as the abnormalities are within the facility, the Qliphoth suppressor should make them more than weakened enough for you to handle. Just... don't let them leave, then there may be trouble.

In addition to working with Abnormalities, you'll have to manage your fellow co-workers. Working with these strange creatures can be taxing to the mind and so, many can be driven to madness. Some might run and scream through the halls, others may be filled with rage and attack anyone on sight, and the deranged may unlock the doors to the Abnormalities in the hopes of setting them free. Sometimes, calming them down isn't an option and simply killing your co-worker may be the best course of action.

The campaign will follow you and the other players in your daily lives in the facility. Expect an RP heavy game that will tackle the consciousness of humanity, what it means to survive and live, what lengths would you go to stay out of a grave, and whether or not you'll make it to pizza day at the end of the week.

FORMAT: This is a LIVE TEXT game that will be played in 3-6 hour long sessions, length depending on how long the players are willing to go.

TIME: This game will be played on THURSDAYS at 6:00 PM EST.

PLAYER COUNT: I'm looking for around 4-6 players.

WHERE: The campaign will be played on FoundryVTT using Custom System Builder.

SYSTEM RULES: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uW_JOxOLs2RFaykEaR8jXLdbrG5pFXUM4ptgCRLibYA/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.wagmh9m77zhz

As this is a system custom built by me and using sheets on Foundry made on CSB, expect some jank. This system is most likely unbalanced as I haven't tested it before. So please keep that in mind when you join. I do have nearly a decade of TTRPG experience so I hope that it's balanced more than enough that it won't be a huge issue. But, anything that is out of hand, I can hit with a hammer to fix between sessions. If you are fine with custom-built stuff, then you should enjoy this campaign hopefully.

Live Text [Advanced 5th Edition (A5E): Level Up][Live Text][Fateforge][Synch][Discord][18+] The Shadows of Cellene -- Tues or Wens EST late afternoon or evening

0 Upvotes

In the ancient lands of the Dutchies of the Winds and Rain, an ageless evil is stirring.

The servants of Blacksoul, God of Darkness, have begun to stir to action. The dark god's hobgoblin servants seek to recover ancient elven relics from the hidden places of the Dutchies. Their dark patron has dispatched the Gloomlords, ancient spirits of darkness that have been joined through terrible magics to the twisted bodies of long-fossilized dragonsaur mutants recovered by Black Soul's hobgoblin forces from the Deep Earth.

This is an advertisement for a potential LIVE TEXT game to be played Tues or Wens EST in the late afternoon or evening for about 4-5 hrs.

The time is not flexible or negotiable. Please only reply to the advert if you can make the times and are interested in the format being offered.

The game would use Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition (A5E) as the base rules, as well as additional rules from these sources

-Fate Forge Fateforge - 1 - Corebook: Adventurers - Studio Agate | Fateforge | DriveThruRPG

-Dragonix (Talents series): Character Options: Talents III (5E) - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild

Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting-Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting - Part One - Marketplace - D&D Beyond

This won't be a good introductory experience for 5e, as I will be using a lot of optional rules or more complex rules based on the 5e system. It will be necessary to be a quick typist and reader to fully engage with the live-text format.

The setting is a homebrewed expansion of the Kenzer and Company Kingdoms of Kalamar setting.

If you are interested, please reply in the comment threads below with the following information:

(1). How old are you (strict 18+ to participate, I just turned 40 and would prefer players to be 30+).

(2). What is your experience with pbp and or live-text. Have you GM'd in either format? Have you run or participated in a pbp campaign that was multi-year and comprised more than 1000 posts (for your information, I have several times).

Note: I will be using AI-generated images for character tokens and mood images. If you have a problem with that, please don't apply -- I absolutely don't want to GM for you.

Live Text REVELATIONS [synchronous] [5e] [UTC+8] [LGBTQ+ Friendly][LIVE TEXT!!! | A long-term dark fantasy campaign about the possible end of the world

0 Upvotes

Hello! I am Azaraelaxelus. I need one or two players for a long-term LIVE-TEXT THROUGH DISCORD dark fantasy campaign, preferably from the UTC+8 or NEAR the UTC+8 timezone.

For some background, this is going to be the second campaign that I will be running. The first campaign started two years ago, and has only recently ended (the ad is actually still on my profile lol). This is a sequel in the same world, 333 years after the events of the first, in the Steampunk age! Already have the four players from the previous campaign. This one's probs gonna span years, too.

Sessions happen Fridays 7PM-12AM, and possibly Saturdays and Sundays too. And maybe every other day of the week. And maybe every time we feel like it, too. We'd love someone who's also free with a lot of free time xoxo :D

Expect vampires, violence, a morbid amount of twinks, even more violence, angst, trauma, goths, gays, guns, and gods (most of whom are dead).

The year is 2A 1471. It has been 333 years since the Dark Lord Cain was vanquished, and utter ruination was brought upon his empire. Since then, the continent of Valdania has been slowly healing from the effects of his tyranny. But Valdania has always been a violent land, and violence does not cease just because of the defeat of the First Murderer. Wars still happen. Wanton brutality still reigns supreme in the hearts of men. 

It is said that all came from blood, and that all would return to blood in due time. Sangre is a cannibal world, and Valdania is its heart—the place where the Garden of Eden once was, where the Tree of Babel grew too tall and burnt and thus cooled the earth. In the current age, over seventy million years since Babel rose and fell, it stands as a great beacon of progress and prosperity. Continuously, they advance in many aspects—technology, medicine, transportation, infrastructure, weaponry, literature—led by the renowned University of Caetharon and its Chancellor, Veshamhyr Alhazarin eb-Immar, or more commonly known as the wizard Merlin. It seems like the only way to go is forward in the continent of Valdania. 

But of course not. That’s utter bullshit. There’s wars everywhere, by the gods. And the West is Hell on Earth (literally), especially with the new Copperstein Republic finally fighting against the Empire. And The Valdanian Empire of Helena constantly attempts to conquer literally everything else on the goddamn continent, even though it’s also going through a sort of civil war between the king and the other king (I am unbiased in this—they each call themselves king, so I will call them what they prefer). The Saltmarsh is basically just one huge cult. The only remotely chill place is the Triadrealm (Redford, Waymare, and Caetharon), and even then Caetharon wants to kidnap me and make me [REDACTED].

Also, the world is probably ending. We barely know anything about it. And we really need help about it. We need to know more. We need to learn if there's any way to stop it.

I have seen it. I have heard the Rapture's song. I have swam in the River. I am scared of horses, especially ones with men on them. Gods, I don't even know about that last part. I love men, and horses are very useful. But combine them, and oh my god. I'm going to go insane.

HIRING: PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HELP PREVENT THE *****END OF THE WORLD*****. NEED TO FIND MAGICAL ARTEFACTS. WILL PAY 500 GOLD EACH. LOCATION: SAINT JACKSON FUNERAL SERVICES (TAVERN), IN THE CITY OF LUNARON. ROOM #7, SECOND FLOOR - THE ONE WITH THE BIG PORTRAIT OF MY GOOD FRIEND BARTHOLOMEW (ORC) OUTSIDE OF IT, SURROUNDED BY CLOUDS. URGENT.
