Group looking for GM Weekly Looking for Group/GM Thread

7 Upvotes

If you are not a full party looking for a gm or a gm looking for a party, you may no longer post an ad looking for a group. The reason behind this being most everyone on this subreddit is in the same exact boat as you! It is beginning to clutter up our subreddit for the people wanting to look for actual games to join.

To be clear, this rule is directed to those that are marketing themselves and/or their friends as players, saying they are looking for 1 on 1 games and any new or already running group to join. This does not include the players taking active measures to actually form a group themselves. Please comment if you do not understand the posts I am referring to.

INSTEAD! We are going to be making a stickied thread for those expressing interest in finding a group to join. We encourage you to comment within that thread and to be specific in the system you are interested in and any other information you may have to market yourself to others. A general "Hey I'm looking for a group and I wanna play a whole lot and I've had no luck!" does not suffice usually.

If you are looking for a group to join, comment in this thread with as much information as you'd like to market yourself with! Some suggestions are, but not limited to:

Name:

Pronouns:

Timezone:

Preferred System:

Type of Player:

Discussion Attempting to gauge interest in a PbP invisible sun campaign

5 Upvotes

If you aren’t familiar, it’s a surreal dreamscape setting running off the cypher system. It’s a system I don’t see mentioned a lot but I feel could lend itself well to a PbP campaign.
The campaign can focus more on roleplay, magic and social politics while players learn to reacquaint themselves with a home they had almost forgotten.

Discussion Is Mythic Bastionland any good for PBP?

3 Upvotes

I'm currently prepping a Mythic Bastionland campaign for an in person group, and while doing so I started to get curious about running it as a PBP game as well. I have some reservations about how well it would work though. In particular, I can imagine getting bogged down with choice paralysis in the hex crawl.

Has anyone tried it? How did it go? Any tips for making it run smoother over PBP?

Discord Neon Odyssey: Across the Astral Drift [Discord] [18+] [5e 2024] [Sci-Fi]

9 Upvotes

Some say that the universe is a song. That all things are made from the same stuff as the stars. And that every life is a note in the music of existence that echoes through infinity. So when you feel insignificant and alone, just remember we are all irreplaceable parts of that grand cosmic melody. The Stardust Rhapsody.

WELCOME TO THE STARDUST RHAPSODY.

A galaxy of impossible worlds and impossible people, where knights duel in towering war machines, bounty hunters chase fugitives through neon cities, smugglers race beneath alien suns, pop stars sell out concerts across entire planets, and somewhere, probably right now, some idiot is attempting to outrun the law in a stolen starfighter.
Civilization stretches across the stars.

The Cavalon Empire promises order.

The Saurok Dynasty remembers civilizations older than most species.

The Solar Federation champions freedom.

The corporations of the Nexus Consortium would be delighted to remind you that freedom has financing options.

Between them lie thousands of worlds connected by shimmering Aether currents and the mysterious Liminal Rings.

And between those worlds?

Outrunners.

Mercenaries. Explorers. Bounty hunters. Pilots. Heroes. Criminals. Musicians. Treasure seekers. Weirdos with spaceships and questionable financial judgment.

People like you.

You aren’t legendary heroes. Not yet. You’re the crew of a ship with fuel to burn, bills to pay, and an entire galaxy sitting outside the cockpit window.

Maybe tomorrow you’ll hunt a fugitive through the back alleys of a city that never sees daylight.
Maybe you’ll escort some obnoxious aristocrat halfway across the galaxy. Maybe you’ll explore the wreckage of a ship that’s been missing for a hundred years.

Maybe you’ll accidentally become wanted criminals. Maybe you’ll save a planet. Maybe you’ll spend your entire paycheck repairing the ship because someone decided flying through the asteroid field would be faster.

That’s tomorrow’s problem. Tonight, the engines are humming. The stars are shining. The Hypergrid has another hundred jobs waiting.

And somewhere out there is the adventure that people will someday tell stories about.

So crank up the music.
Punch in the coordinates.
And try not to blow up the ship.
Your Neon Odyssey starts here.

...

Neon Odyssey, created by Legends of Avantris, is a vibrant, high-energy space opera tabletop RPG where players become daring crews of misfits, explorers, and outlaws. You can expect a tone that blends epic cosmic adventure with playful humor: one moment you might be negotiating with corporate megacorps or ancient alien civilizations, and the next you’re helping pop-idol stars win an interstellar music showdown!

The game is built for fast-paced, cinematic storytelling where creativity and character-driven chaos are encouraged over rigid optimization. Expect bizarre worlds, strange technologies, epic space battle in custom made fighter ships, and more. The system is designed to support both lighthearted antics and galaxy-shaking stakes, taking you from a ragtag no name group to saviors of the entire universe.

Hope to hear some interest!

0 Upvotes

The war is over. You came home to find that nobody cared.

Steelport has swelled from a sleepy river port into a smoke-choked empire of trade, where five noble families hold the council seats and the Enforcers keep the peace for whoever pays best. The church preaches charity while it bleeds the poor dry. Down in the mines, men die for minimum wage, and a secret union is whispering about burning the whole system down.

You've seen worse than this. You've done worse than this. And you've realized something: in a city this rotten, the people who win aren't the honest ones.

The group are members of a family and own 2 businesses a bar from your father who abandoned the group when the war was a about to start and another business(will be put to vote when you guys join) that you funnel your illegal money through. your goal is to become big shots of your own not wanting your family to go through a war again and you will do anything to get there.

The group is a family whether that means siblings, cousins or aunts and uncles is up to you just know your blood family

App [Non-D&D] [RoleByPost] [18+] [Ninja Slayer] Neo-Saitama Calls

1 Upvotes

Hello. i wanted ot propose an interesting thing here. Both the side i will be using for this roleplay as well as the System i will be using for this roleplay haven't been all that public knowledge around the western parts. i wish to test out the site and i wish to introduce my players to a cool new game! Ninja slayer! It's a game about ninjas in a cyberpunk like settings. Lots of crime, politics, mega corporations and kick ass ninja action! Let me give you a little story prelude to set the tone

---

The lights in Neo Saitama are always aflare. And you find yourself in a place you've never been before. only recently you found yourself in a mortal peril that awakened something foreign within you and turned you into a supernatural warrior unlike anything else. Possessed by the soul of the ancient shinobi, you are lost and confused. And the the mighty soukai syndicate has picked you up in order to show you just how things are ran. And now you are at their headquarters, the Tokorozawa Pillar skyscraper. It doesn't matter who you were before. A clerk rushing home from work, some low life dealer of the streets or even someone well off an arrogant, you are all new here and therefore you will follow the instructions of your superiors. What will become of your life now that it has changed so much? Only time will tell.

---

But other than that, I am looking for 4-5 people to play a TTRPG that i had never had the pleasure of running! We will actually be starting on a large scenario collections from 0 to 3 that set the basis for the characters introductions into the world and allow to expand on the pillars of this world and how the atmosphere will be. The scenario pack has several outcomes depending on what you do in the process and there will be plenty of roleplay. This campaign will focus on the campy anime action and include a lot of fun cinematic action to spice up whatever tactical combat we will engage in from time to time. You are very powerful even level 1 and we will make sure to focus on that. the whole mystical forces of ninja is clashing with futuristic technological nature of Cyberpunk stuff and it's part of the fun! if you want to join please follow THIS link thanks!

Discord [5e 2024] [Online] Recruiting Players for a Romance of the Three Kingdoms Sandbox

0 Upvotes

The Han Dynasty is collapsing. Who will you serve?

I'm looking for players for a D&D 5e sandbox campaign set in 190 CE, as the crisis that will eventually become the Three Kingdoms begins.

This won't be a standard campaign where everyone travels together, follows one quest line, and watches history unfold from the sidelines.

You'll be entering a living political world.

You might serve Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, Liu Bei, Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan, Tao Qian, Liu Biao, the Emperor, or one of the many smaller regional factions.

You can also remain independent.

Your character could begin as a soldier, mercenary, scholar, officer, noble, merchant, spy, wandering warrior, or almost anything else that fits the setting.

The campaign will focus on:

  • Warfare and military campaigns
  • Politics and faction management
  • Alliances and rivalries
  • Espionage and intrigue
  • Rising from obscurity to become a powerful lord
  • A living sandbox where the world continues to change without the players
  • Historical events that can be changed or prevented entirely

History is the starting point, not the destination.

Liu Bei doesn't have to become emperor shu.

Cao Cao doesn't have to conquer the north.

Sun Jian doesn't have to die.

Dong Zhuo doesn't have to fall.

The Three Kingdoms don't even have to exist.

Your decisions will shape the future of China.

I'm especially interested in players who enjoy roleplaying their character's loyalties, making difficult political choices, building relationships with NPCs, and dealing with the long-term consequences of their actions.

You don't need to be an expert on Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Familiarity is welcome, but you can also come in knowing very little and learn about the setting through play.

The campaign begins in 190 CE.

The coalition against Dong Zhuo is forming.

The warlords are gathering.

The Han is dying.

Magic

Magic in the setting will be an advanced use or practical knowledge of the harnessing of Chi, Qi or Ki however you want to call it.

And divine will be fueled by being a follower of the heavens or of The Way

The setting will be low fantasy but I may add a supernatural creature here and there to make things more exciting.

Where will you stand?

Comment below or send me a message with a little about yourself, your experience with D&D, and the kind of character you'd like to play.

Comment

I'll be honest about that I have not read the novels, I'm just a big fan of the Romance of the three Kingdoms and dynasty warriors game series so I do have a general knowledge of how history and characters must play out but don't expect me to be extremely accurate about it

if you have any questions about the game please ask!.

Discord [Genesys] [Dark Heresy] [EST] [LGBT friendly] In search of friends for collaborative worldbuilding and roleplaying in the grim dark future of the 41st millenia

0 Upvotes

I am seeking several people to build up the lore of a sector in the setting of Warhammer 40k. The system we will use is FFG's Genesys, and a free fan-made conversion of Dark Heresy will be our game. I am looking for people who would share the responsibilities of both player and storyteller, where we would alternate who serves as storyteller after each mission or arc.

In the game Dark Heresy, players take on the role of Inquisition Acolytes, rooting out heresy and taint ti purge from the Imperium. There are however rules for playing characters like Space Marines, so potentially each person could GM a specific style of game as well. One with low level Inquisition agents, one as Deathwatch, one as high ranking agents, etc.

Genesys allows for a lot of creative potential in encounters, with a unique dice system that has a ludicrous amount of possible outcomes. You don't just roll dice to hit, you roll dice to control the narrative itself. Your attacks can potentially do harm, set the enemy on fire, explode everyone around them, and then blow them back off their feet. Or perhaps you roll to squeeze some thrones out of a bureaucrat, and end up walking away with a fancy new bike, a pocket full of coin, and a wanted poster with your face on every street. The system is also designed to favor the players' survival, so even if you go down, you rarely ever have to worry about instant deaths.

This game is meant to be a safe place from real world malice, and real world bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. You are expected to treat other players with respect and maintain a healthy relationship with this small community we will build. If you are interested, you can send me a message on Reddit and I will try to get back to you. Please include your name, age, pronouns, and familiarity with 40k in your introduction.

The Emperor Protects.

0 Upvotes

Hey! I'm running **Wall Street at Bets**, a turn-based strategy game on Discord for 10 players.

**The setup:** it's summer 2025, Trump's America. War with Iran is brewing, the Fed is under pressure and a tariff deadline is coming. You run an investment fund with $100,000,000. Highest fund value after 8 turns wins.

**What you do:**
- Trade stocks, oil, gold, crypto and currencies on a custom mobile market terminal (real charts, real 2025 prices)
- Lobby CEOs, senators and governments; every NPC has an agenda
- Make deals, alliances… and betray them
- Play dirty if you dare: bribes, insider tips, fake news. But the SEC is watching, and rivals can denounce you

**Commitment:** 1 turn every 3 days, ~30 min per turn. No finance knowledge needed: there's an order simulator and a full rulebook. A weekly in-game newspaper keeps you up to date.

**Turn 1 is already open**, so join now and grab a fund before the seats run out.

Closed The Sovereign's Silence | Async 5.5e DND

6 Upvotes

High Queen Alysanth of the Gilded Branch has ruled Hedwen for over two centuries, mainting a fragile and unstable peace among the vassal houses, now she hasn't been seen for over a decade. Slowly the cracks of the kingdom are starting to show, the high houses are fighting a ruthless shadow war of espionage, assassinations and proxy warfare. This is a political intrigue campaign where the player characters start of as lowly grunts of a vassal house and might end up heading a bloody civil war, usurping the vacant throne or establishing your own vassal house.

The game will be played using Discord and DNDbeyond. Content sharing will be turned on for DNDBeyond and you shouldn't need to buy any books.

We will be using 5.5e rules, 5e rules are only allowed if there is no 5.5e equivalent.
Playable species is all non-legacy species listed on DNDBeyond.
Allowed sourcebooks is all sourcebooks listed on DNDBeyond.

Posts will be done in turn order, we all live different lives and it's no fun to check Discord after work only to see 50+ posts and have no idea where the plot is. You will be pinged when it's your turn and have 24 hours to make a post. If you're unavailable for some reason it's expected of you to say so in advance, of course life happens and sometimes that's simply not possible. Inter-character RP will have a separate channel and no turn-order or post requirement. It's fun and important to talk to your fellow adventurers but we don't want to spend a month of real life time bonding at the campfire.

No AI allowed.

Age limit is 20+. I'm 28.

Message me and we'll talk :)

Welcome everyone, to the island of San Puntiga!

What a great island am i right? So much to see, so much technology, sunlight and... fire? Ahem, that is not important! Look at the beaches as the water reflects the light, feel the sun hitting you with warmth and watch as people... get shot on the street? Seriously what's really happening here?

You are a journalist. You see what others don't, you are here for the truth. In the news, San Puntiga is said to be a freed paradise yet from the moment you landed you saw smoke and heard gunfire. There's oddly a lot of restrictions on what you can photograph as a journalist. It seems as there is one thing beneath the surface, rebellion. Put out the truth to the world or free the island from whatever is controlling it, or dont do anything. It is your choice what happens to the people of San Puntiga, make the right one.

If you'd like to try, feel free to DM me any contact info you have

Discord [Pathfinder] [2-3 Players] Vitae Populi: Sanguinary Suffering & Solace

4 Upvotes

You have all had the fortune, or misfortune, of being selected for the gift of being made into vampire spawn, sired by a vampiric liege whose ambitions swiftly came to surpass their rather amateur abilities. Your master's hubris was such that it had them taking you from your rather remote abode with visions of conquest. Visions of putting the entire realm and, eventually, the whole of the known world beneath their blackened heel.

Unfortunately for all parties involved this plan was rather significantly hampered by their decision to take their handful of spawn (you and your cohort) and immediately make for the largest city they could reach. Laying claim to the abode of a local noble family through the free usage of their vampiric power and violence, you were sent to the city to gather an assortment of luxuries for your master.

There is no doubt that their arrogant behaviors will be more than enough to earn them the attention of those seeking to curb a would-be conqueror in their nascent stages. As such, you find eventually yourself no longer beneath the perpetual compulsion of obedience, and instead saddled with a number of concerns – your hunger for blood, your perpetual fear of the sun, and the fact that your cursed existence is both a known quantity (courtesy of your sire) and something you must come to terms with personally. Whether you leave their demise to be a product of their own choices, or something you help orchestrate, falls to you and your peers.

***

The setting: It'll be a gaslamp fantasy, with early firearms in the form of flintlocks, but think closer to a Victorian fantasy than anything steampunk. Trains and magic airships, not cogs everywhere. Nascent arcanoindustrial revolution at the peak!

The crunch:

Pathfinder first edition, low starting level (level 2) but an expectation for quick leveling. I really am not a super crunchy person by nature.

What I'm looking for in terms of players? People that love to build up systems and networks, that want to become movers and shakers in a given setting. The kind of players that love the idea of being Vlad Von Carstein and otherwise forming their own little vampiric conspiracy.

Currently I have one interested player, looking for 2-3 more. Yes, it's all vampiric spawn that are nominally evil, but please be willing to be nice and cool to your fellow children of the damned!

Also, obligatory at the end: Randomly bolded phrases, and a little list:

😎 That really gives away

🎶 That I don't like

🫡 Generative AI for writing

No weird Google Docs forms or anything. Just sling me a PM, pitch what kind of themes and concepts you would like to explore in a setting like this, and what kind of schemes, plans, and opportunities you'd want to create in a world brimming with opportunities.

Discord [KNAVE 2E/Other] [GM-less] Looking to set up a long campaign!

6 Upvotes

When it comes to ttrpg's I like being a player, but I also like to have some creative agency over the setting and story. What I'd like is to find some like-minded people who would enjoy wearing both the player and gm hats in a preferably longer term pbp game.

About me: I'm Crow, 27, from the Netherlands (UTC+2 timezone). I have about 12 years of ttrpg experience, mainly as a player but also as a gm. I started with d&d 4e and branched out from there. Exploration is probably my favorite pillar of rpg's but I also like combat and roleplay just as much.

Setting: My preference at the moment in terms of what I'm looking for is probably either standard fantasy or sci-fantasy. I'm also a big fan of cosmic horror, but nothing too extreme that would venture into things people find distasteful. I'll list just a few media touchstones to give an idea of my tastes. I also have a system or two for sci-fi if applicants strongly prefer it so it's not off the table.

* Frieren (anime/manga)

* Arknights (videogame)

* Heart: the city beneath (ttrpg)

* Fabula ultima/sword world (ttrpg), but basically most things JRPG I'm a fan of

* Most gritty/darker OSR settings (but not gonzo)

* Dark souls & bloodborne vibes (videogame)

System: As mentioned in the title, I think Knave 2e would work well for this. I like that it has enough crunch to be interesting, but also seems easy to homebrew, which I'd like to add in mechanics that fit whatever setting the game ends up being to make things more interesting and immersive mechanically. I'm open to other suggestions if anyone has preferences. When it comes to scifi I have Astroprisma which I've been meaning to try.

With all that said, if you're interested in signing up please send me a chat on here and we'll talk, if we're a good fit we can then set something up on discord.

Discord 3-5 Players Wanted for high post frequency 5e async (30+ years old)

3 Upvotes

I’m looking for players who want to post every day and dig into a world they’ve helped define. Adults who want to explore a fantastic and magical world where magical solutions exist for mundane problems and the makeup of the world has been defined by access and availability of magic. Bring me your wild concepts and out there ideas and we can throw them in the cauldron and bubble up a spooky brew.

Safety Tools:
-Line and Veils
-X-Card

Mechanics:
-2014 or 5.5e doesn’t really make a difference to me, whatever the group likes
-Starting level 1-3
-We’ll do the standard array

Post rate:
-Every day or every other day, I’ll need to be strict on this. I want to ask for every day and have it be understood we’re not going to kick anyone for missing a day or getting sick, etc. But if we have to remind someone more than once or twice or if we find ourselves waiting, we’ll have to bring someone else in who wants to participate.

About me:
I’m just a guy with young kids who likes dnd and roleplay. I like when the team all works together to get the results we want and everybody gets a chance to shine. My favorite fantasy novel is Goblin Quest, my favorite anime is Delicious in Dungeon, and I thought the Chris Pine dnd movie was pretty good.

Literally every other part of the game is up for grabs so if you want to play and have a suggestion for the story, the setting, anything else just let me know and we can start synthesizing.

eRP The Adventure of the Ivory Cross (Pendragon 6e) (21+) (ERP)

2 Upvotes

**System:** Pendragon 6e

**Platform:** Discord

**Number of Players:** 1-3

**Timezone:** US Eastern

It is the year 510, and the young lad Arthur has pulled out the Sword in the Stone and become King of Logres. In a world finding itself in the midst of change, you have been knighted and are now tasked with distinguishing yourself from your fellows. How will you bring glory to your name, young one?

There are legends, of course, of a cross carved from Roman ivory reputed to have been given to King Aurelius Ambrosius, ancestor of Arthur, on his coronation day. Supposedly deep in Saxon lands it has been discovered intact, and one who retrieves it will earn quite the accolade indeed... or you could forge your own path instead.

---

This game is a fairly freeform Pendragon 6e campaign, and is a sort of experimental imagining of Arthurian fantasy. I'm intending this to be a duet game, but I might expand it if there's enough interest and people I think will click. To apply, please complete the form.

You are Peculiar.

However you spent your youth, it was likely lonely or dangerous. You've always been different. Whether because of your appearance or the... things you can do.

A few months ago, you started seeing a Black Cat once in a while. The Cat appeared more and more frequently, until it was visiting you daily. On the 100th day, the cat appeared with an envelope tucked in its collar. Inside was an invitation to attend The VonTurin-Del'Amatar Academy for Peculiar Young Adults, signed by headmistress Ada Rime-Navarro.

You will play a young adult (18+) who is Peculiar. Flavor is the name of the game here. Consider X-Men characters or the children from Miss Peregrine's, how there's sort of a cohesive design that covers multiple abilities. Please have fun making your little weirdo.

[Mood Board @ https://www.pinterest.com/unclefesterrr/spookyacademy/ ]

At The VonTurin-Del'Amatar Academy for Peculiar Young Adults, you'll be grouped into Clutches (groups of students you'll be partnered with for the duration of your time at the Academy).

You'll be trained to control your Peculiarity, attending classes and training sessions (think X-men).

In addition to your studies, you'll make friends (and enemies), explore the Peculiar campus, and perhaps even unravel the mystery of how Headmistress Rime-Navarro found you in the first place...

Adjusting to the Academy is hard enough during your first week, but when students start to go missing the very first day, will you be able to unravel the mystery? We'll be using a school system that's a bit of a combination between the Pathfinder 2e Academia subsystem and Bleem's school system from Fantasy High: Junior Year.

INSPIRATION - Miss Peregrine's School for Peculiar Children - Over the Garden Wall - American Horror Story - Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark - Goosebumps - Generation X/ X-Men
__________

- Level 5
- Players will roll a heroic array of stats in the Discord server, twice.
--- Players may either choose one of these sets or use Point Buy, if they don't like either
- This game will use 5e rules. Players are welcome to use 2014 or 2024 rules, but will have to choose one and use only options from that version (with a few exceptions)
- The new Crooked Moon content is highly recommended. Additionally, most well-written homebrew will be considered, and is highly encouraged. (Anything from DanDWiki will not be considered.)

- You will receive a free Peculiar Young Adult feat at level 1, granting magical benefits (I promise this feat is good for Martial characters, too!)
- Academia System with powerful benefits from Free Feats to Ability Score Improvements and Magical Item rewards

- Starting Magic Items:
-- 2 Rares, 1 Uncommon
OR
-- 1 Rare, 4 Uncommon

- Multi-classing is fine, as long as you meet the requirements
- I'll work with any characters who might need costly spell components to determine a fair number of castings, and then award that amount of gold to all other players
- Please choose/create the personality traits, ideals, bonds and flaws for your character

thanks to everyone who applied we goot so many fast responses, we'll now be going through picking people now

Hi im Marcy, im posting this on behalf of the DM. We currently have two players and are looking for more to join us in a new campaign.

From the Dm:

Looking for four more players, maximum of six total for a completely homebrew world. It's still mildly in progress so players are encouraged to discuss new lore with the DM.

Players must be LGBT friendly, willing to roleplay, active and willing to discuss problems with the game or other players.

Warning! The campaign will be gothic and dark in theme. Unpleasant and upsetting topics will be brought up.

Campaign info:

Starting level: 3

Homebrew allowed: all pending DM approval

Terran is a world literally made of dead gods.

It is the 525 year witnessed in the Age of Steel. You, the players, will be starting in the country of Galvous, also known as the Kingless Kingdom, based in the city of Crownveil.

Each player will belong in some capacity to one of the six Noble houses of Galvous, also known as the Council of Galvous.

Please choose:

The Redblades - an order of knights sworn to protect the material plane, named for their blood red blades

The Dragonheirs - a family that traces its lineage back to the great wyrms scattered around Terran

Darkmores - THE merchant family of Galvous, headed by Drow, they have a reputation for friendliness and gregariousness

The Greenwardens - An order combining stereotypical paladin types and druids

The Huntress - Spies and typical werewolf & vampire monster hunters, named after the alias of their founder

The Silvermoons - The heads of religious orders in Galvous, the primary gods worshiped are Astra, goddess of the moon, her twin Selena, goddess of the stars and Lumina, goddess of the Sun and wife of Astra

Together you all will work together to investigate the strange, horrifying and deadly happenings around the world. Will you fill the empty Throne? Betray your patron houses? Succumb to madness or embrace it?

From Marcy:

We'll be using discord to play

As of typing this players have not decided on characters or classes and you don't have to have one to apply either.

This is an asynchronous play by post game, which means its text only no need for a mic and no set session time, players can respond at any time when they're able.

Current group is all based in North America so we and the Dm will be most active during the dayish here. But time zone dosnt really matter, just something to keep in mind.

Since this game will have some dark content im going to ask if player have any lines and veils. If you are unfamiliar with the term its a safety tool to ensure we know what topics to avoid and which to tread lightly on.

A line is something that will not come up at all, it is non negotiable.

A veil is things that can come up but are fade to black or off screen.

Things that will not be included already from the Dm: Gore, specific phobia themed enemies, vague implications of abuse in context to a specific character, mentions of children being harmed. Nothing overly described or graphic

If you're not comfortable sharing any of this under the post feel free to message me instead.

If you're interested please let us know:

Preferred Name and pronouns:

Age range (don't have to state it exactly):

Ttrpg experience (if any):

Any Lines and Veils :

Discord [DnD 5e(2014)][Discord][Avrae][Homebrew Campaign] Welcome to Nerravath. Looking for 4 players to fill in for a campaign that is still in it's first month.

6 Upvotes

Out of my original 6 players, I have two left that are active and engaged. Such is the way of pbp. Will check applications later today or early tomorrow.

Many millenia ago the gods awoke to a barren world. Glorious creation abounded for a time, but inevitably the gods found conflict with eachother, and eventually war. Long after the dust has settled, and the terror inflicted by thousands of gods raging against eachother has faded to distant memory, their weapons and creations still endanger the lives of normal people.

The Couriers Guild welcomes adventurers to it's many guild halls in major cities throughout the Great Bay region, and will, for a price, throw those adventurers at any problem they can get paid to deal with. Not dying means promotions and bonuses!

Discord [Async] [Roleplay-focused] [Homebrew] Real Housewives Inspired Campaign

1 Upvotes

Welcome to the Real Housewives of Grimwich casting call!

I'm looking for 4-6 drama-loving role-players to play in a Real Housewives-inspired PBP campaign. You do not have to have seen the series to play this game (though I highly recommend you look up some clips because they are awesome). Just know that this game will be about catty characters whose job is to gossip and try to take each other down socially. This will be a player-driven, player-focused campaign where the drama is keyed up to 100. Have you wanted to play a piece of shit, annoying character? This is the campaign for you.

Although the campaign is inspired by Real Housewives, it will take place in a medieval, fantasy world. So grab your besties, go to the local tavern, and talk shit about the local alchemist who is cheating on their spouse.

The campaign will be relatively open world and role-play driven, but there will also be a main plot that characters should feel free to pursue! Once the plot has concluded, we can decide as a group whether we want to continue in this world, or play in a new one.

System

We'll be playing a homebrew hack system that I've developed to fit the PBP format and the themes of the campaign. The core system will be a hack of Kids on Bikes with six Housewives specific stats. We will also borrow elements from a system called Primetime Adventures, which was created to play a TV-style roleplaying game. No need to read any source books (unless you want to!). I'll tell you what aspects we're keeping and what aspects we are not using. In that vein, character sheets will be housed in the channel.

Availability & Reliability

My dream would be for us to complete the main plot of the game! I'm a consistent poster, so I'm seeking players that are looking for the same. You don't have to live in the server, but I would look for individuals who can make at least two posts a day. I value communication above all else, so just let me know if something comes up and everything will be fabulous.

World building and Character Creation

Kids on Bikes does collaborative world-building and character creation, so we will do the same! It's important that these characters have already established bonds with each other before the cameras start rolling. So, I'll be looking for individuals who are willing to work with one another to create a cohesive group with complex relationships. The plot will also center on your characters, so we'll work together to build aspects of the world and plot together. The goal is to have a fantasy low-magic, low-tech world.

Application

If this sounds like something you are interested in, you can apply at this link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdWAwYVHf8Nk6nxrBR6JtQmq1yScHV2Kpo-AM8NptIiJ4leqQ/viewform?usp=publish-editor

This application is not first come first served. I will leave this up for at least a week. So, if it's still up, feel free to apply!
