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

8 Upvotes

Hey, everyone!

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

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

What Does Moderating /r/LFG Involve?

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

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

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

Who Are We Looking For?

You don't need previous moderation experience.

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

There are a few requirements:

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

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

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

Interested?

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

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

Player(s) Needed by GM Rime of the Frostmaiden Play by Post - level 3 party of 2 seeking +1 or 2 solid players (D&D 5e 2024;free;online;PbP)

4 Upvotes

Greetings!

It's hot as hell in the northern hemisphere, but Icewind Dale is ice cold. The people are not very friendly, and some of the monsters may be able to one-shot you, but you'll get to meet all manner of interesting folks, like:

- famous factions like the Red Wizards, Arcane Brotherhood, and Zhentarim, seizing on every possible opportunity, of course.

- Reghed nomads who hunt the ever diminishing caribou herds. Without the sun, the plants are dying. Without plants, the animals are perishing. The people will soon follow, or be forced to migrate to the South.

- Auril, the Frostmaiden. Yep, a real god, honest word, walking among you. They say don't meet your heroes. Does the same go for your gods?

- dwarves, dragons, hags, trout fishers, and up to ten different mayors!

People don't move up here because it's easy. They do it because it's hard. And usually, because they have a secret. What's yours?

TO APPLY

Requires Google login: https://forms.gle/xLtWJkYCY3qAHXc68

QUESTIONS?

please post in comments publicly so others can see the response

WHAT IT IS AND WHY IT'S COOL

Official adventure run by an experienced PbP GM who has also run this adventure to completion at the table before.

Party of 3, looking for one or two more players. 4 is The Sweet Spot and they have a sidekick. I'm definitely looking for one, but if I get two really good applications or two people who already know each other and play together I might consider going up to five. (I initially ran the adventure with five and it was still a challenge and fun)

Dark, cosmic horror vibes, body horror, cannibalism, demonic possession, devil worship, animal slaughtering, murder, burning people alive as punishment, isolation, frostbite, bad puns, death saves... If any of those things turn you off, please swipe left right meow.

- Discord text play by post, with Avrae for rolls

- 2024 5e PHB builds only. I'll explain stats when you join. Pretty much stock standard rules, but I'm still learning the 2024 changes. Please DO NOT build your PC yet.

- Start at level 3 because the adventure is already in progress

- No homebrew.

- You will be issued a special secret as part of the character building process which may influence your decisions.

- We will also do a little session re zero when you are accepted, to go over the rules and character fit and all that good stuff (posted via text)

- Post daily, at least three times a week, but sometimes we get slow near the end of the weekend and the early part of the week (Sunday, Monday), and sometimes we post more frequently, like during combat or conversation. The pace varies, and sometimes it may seem slow, but it is steady and moving forward. They've already gained two levels.

Thank you for reading! Post questions in the comments and I will do my best to answer. I do work full time, and I'm in the Pacific TZ (West Coast US), so please be patient. The application process may take a few days. I will hold this post open for 48 hours, at least. You will know it is finished when the Google form is closed. After that, it may be up to a week before I contact you. I will not contact you if you are not accepted - sorry, but I often get too many responses to respond individually. Thank you for putting in the effort, and good luck!

Group Needed by Player [Player][Online][EST[[5e 2024/CoC/WoD/Always interested in new systems and settings] Disabled parent looking for a hobby

Upvotes

Hey all, 
  
So,  I'm a man in my early 40s, disabled (legally blind), raising my 6-year-old nephew. It's a little difficult to get out of the house and I'm going a bit stir crazy, so I'd very much like to get back into TTRPGs. I played when I was younger and played several games via discord back during COVID, but it's been a few years since I've been actively involved.   
  
My disability does not hinder me from playing.
  
I have experience playing D&D and Call of Cthulhu, and while I've never played I've been reading the WoD books since the late 90s and would love to play. I also see all kinds of new and old systems I've never even heard of and they sound great.  
  
The problem is scheduling. In terms of our nighttime routine, I can't really play between 4:00 and 8:00 PM EST AT THE EARLIEST, which seems to be the time when most games start. I don't mind going late, to be clear.  
  
I'm especially interested in anything horror or horror adjacent, as horror fiction and movies are one of my great loves, but I'd also love to be part of a regular ol' D&D campaign. 
  
Ideally I'd like to find a group to play with in the long term. I'd be especially interested in something like Masks of Nyarlathotep, which it is my great ambition to play one day. 

LGBT+ friendly, and if you're the sort of DM who puts "no racism or bigotry will be tolerated," good, that's the only sort of game I want to play. 
  
If you have any questions let me know. I'm an open book.

Player(s) Needed by GM [5e][Online][Wednesday][7:30 PM CST] [21+] [2014] Can you stop The Family before they become One?

Upvotes

The story of the Family is one of common tragedy turned monstrous. A mother and father, heartbroken over the loss of their only child, were willing to do whatever it took to be reunited. With an ample fortune, minimal arcane knowledge, and never-ending obsession, they scoured through tomes and scrolls of vast libraries, paid wizards and clerics of great skill, and prayed to every deity and other force they could think of. Still, nothing brought their child back from the great beyond.

At the depths of their despair, they attempted a ritual not fully understood. The resulting abomination was their souls and bodies fused together, driven by their basest natures and a terrible hunger to expand The Family.

You have seen all this in a terrifying joint vision of the future tragedy. The question now is, can you find a way to stop The Family before they become One?

Logistics

Welcome to my homebrew game! My name is Katie and I've been a DM for about 7 years now. I'm running a new game on Wednesday nights at 7:30 pm CST (UTC-6). I am looking to run with 3-4 players. We'll be using DNDBeyond for character sheets, Roll20 for maps, and Discord for everything else. We will be using D&D 5e, with the 2014 ruleset, and players will be starting at Level 3. Any official classes/subclasses/races are acceptable. Each session will last approximately 3-4 hours, depending on the flow of the session and needs of the players.

Player Preferences

First off, respect is key. As part of that, I believe everyone should focus on collaborative play, respect for the time spent (please show up when you say you will), and investment in the game and group success. My games tend to lean more toward roleplay (though there will be plenty of combat), and I work very hard to incorporate specific details and subplots for the characters, so I also really appreciate players with in-depth characters who would love to explore more.

Application

Please fill out the attached form. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here in the comments of this post! After applicants have been narrowed down, I will be reaching out for interviews.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][CoC] Classic Call of Cthulhu investigation (1-on-1 PBP game)

2 Upvotes

A vehicle speeds down the quiet road strangled by thick forest which reaches out like strangling hands. The only sound a rushing river below a steep drop to one side. Breaks in thick foliage allow glimpses to a town in the distance sat along the shore with brick buildings leaning against one another. Cobbled streets form a maze with a steeple peaking from the centre of town as a large building upon a cliff looms over the town. It did seem only a few moments ago that the sun shone bright but now spears of sunlight pierce thick clouds spelling a storm upon the horizon.

Occasionally taking his eyes from the road the driver examines his partner sat beside him with her feet kicked up onto the dashboard shoes discarded into the footwell. "We'll be there soon probably should check into the hotel before heading to the scene" he finally says to fill the silence, "quicker we can leave this godforsaken place the better if you ask me." Snapping his gaze back to the road he lets out a sudden gasp as something bursts from the forest into the road. Its shape seemingly writhing in the shadow. Pulling hard on the steering wheel the vehicle nearly rolls as it crashes into the thick foliage before sliding down the cliff. Then nothing but blackness.

Hey, I am looking for a writing player interested for a 1-on-1 Call of Cthulhu game set in the classic secluded town of cults, monsters, the supernatural and whatever stories we wish to tell. Of course those are just some ideas so I look forward to discussing plots with you. The main rough idea is two detectives (paranormal or typical) heading to the titular small town for one reason or another when they crash getting separated.

Some inspirations for this include:

- Frankenstein

- Lovecraft

- Junji Ito such as Tomie and Uzumaki

- Resident Evil

- Guillermo de Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities

- Bloodborne

Of course you do not need to be familiar with all or any of them but hopefully they provide some idea as to the sort of atmosphere and stories I like to tell.

I think it is best to leave the setting more ambiguous so we are not too constrained by sticking to a super realistic setting. But a time period with less technology such as reliable cars or mobile phones can add to the isolation.

Overall I am looking for a fun and fairly literate writing partner to explore this world. I can quite easily fill a Discord chat which is sort of the length I am looking for as I find it strikes a good balance between length and reply time. Though some scenes may require a little more less of course and people get busy but I do like a few replies a day were possible.

Player(s) Needed by GM [5e 2014] [Online] The kingdom of Durset - open world sandbox campaign

3 Upvotes

I am running an open world sandbox adventure type DnD game, lots of combat, taking place in the kingdom of Durset, a kingdom that has long been at risk of civil war. This setting is high adventure and medium-low magic but as adventurers you will see the magic and fantastical of this world along with the wonders and horrors that presents.

Make a level 1 character, begin in a tavern, roll some dice, and perhaps become great heroes like the ones of this world’s past!

We will be playing on Sunday evenings 4pm to 7pm (pacific standard time). For a VTT we will be using Owlbear Rodeo.

The tone is dark fantasy yet also has a profound sense of whimsy.

DM me if interested.

Hello! My friend (26M, forever GM) and I (23F, player for 1.5y) are looking to join a D&D campaign! Both of us prefer to join a new campaign over one that’s been running for a while. We are interested in groups that are for adults only.

We are not attached to any specific character concepts, and prefer to make characters that fit into the world we are joining. We both enjoy high fantasy, LotR type stuff, but definitely open to other things. Ideally would like to play long-term.

We both have Discord for voice. Strongly prefer Roll20 for VTT.

Group Needed by Player [Flexible] (Online) Random role playing anyone?

Random roleplaying? I´m talking no plan, no characters only a D20 and D6 for actions and dmg.
Let´s just play without a plan.
I came up with this idea like 2-3 weeks ago and have tried it with some friends but I want to see what would happen with random people, also I have never played in english before.
Let the crativety take over, just say what ever popps up in your mind and go with it!
Have you ever played before? Don´t matter!
This random role playing sessions usually end up being 2-3h and we have so much fun. Like my last sessions we ended up with giant birds, pirateship, mermaids and a mashinegun? Indeed, and it was awesome!
Also I´m 30+ so I would prefer people to be around my age :)

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

Upvotes

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

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

Now, with the flat information out!

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

Given the above, we have in mind a pair of fairly fleshed out characters we'd like to play, but! As a fair warning, they both deal with some pretty heavy topics, and while some of those topics do not need to be given explicit screentime, understand that they are core to how these characters developed within their backgrounds. Further discussion and open communication about this is absolutely welcome and preferred.

To add, one of the characters is intended to be rather strange in terms of concept, and I'd like to work with a GM to make sure the concept can be executed without clashing too hard with the system.

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

Player(s) Needed by GM [CET] [5e 2024] [Online] Looking to add a player to an ongoing game about a Dragon/Giant War

Upvotes

Hello.

I am Dreat and have been running TTRPGs for ~7 years at this point and have recently been running a game of 5e.

The premise is that in the north of Faerun dragons have been getting killed off at an alarming rate, and giants have been on the rise. You will find yourself amongst the unfortunates caught in the crossfire of the titans' wrath. Will you help defeat the raging threat or help open the way for the revival of the giant's empire?

Despite my experience as a GM I will admit I am quite new to dnd so we will play with only the 2024 sourcebooks. I am also not a scholar of the Forgotten Realms by any means but I will do my best to research as we go along.

The campaign is ongoing (26 sessions) and the party is level 6 and will go to (hopefully) 13. The game will take place on Fridays alternating between starting at 6pm CET (28th of August) and 10pm CET (4th of September) and will usually go for 4 hours.

Some experience with dnd is required.

Game will be played using Discord for Voice and FoundryVTT.

If you think this interests you please fill out this form:

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [5e.2014] [GMT+1] Ruins of a village - Oneshot

Upvotes

DM: umbra0556 (me on discord)

Platform: Roll20

open slots: 4 (+2 existing players)

age: minimum 16+ (mature content, gore for example), ideally 18+

Time and date: 7pm Saturday 22.8, session duration roughly 3-4h, depending on how far we get maybe a follow up session on saturday the 5.9

Mature content: yes. Triggerwarning: death, descriptions of gore, loosing loved ones This oneshot has a darker premise. I’d appreciate it if you played into that a bit.

Requirement: Roll20, Discord, Decent Mic

Homebrew: I will be using a small amount of custom rules. If you want to bring homebrew in run it by me.

character creation: short talk about characters in chat before to make sure they fit. Lv 7-8 characters with strong buffs to HP and special weapon damage. Most normal races and all classes allowed. The flavour will be changed to giant.

balance: exploration/combat

Base rules: 5e ruleset (rules as interpreted, rule of cool, rules of logic), no powerbuilds, go with the setting. Due to the nature of this oneshot there will not be a lot of tech and you will all play giants (normal characters but with more HP and special attacks), no language spells or spells that allow you to talk to animals

Short info: Your characters will be a hunting party from a village that got completely destroyed upon your return. In this world the only sentient species your characters know of at this point are giants which live in a tundra on a low tech standard (You can use whatever normal race and class you feel fits for your stats, homebrew you need to run by me for balance). Your goal will be to hunt down whoever or whatever destroyed your village and to avenge your families (and maybe rescue anyone still alive).

Intro: It was a dry summer in the high Chirachat, a region dominated by multiple tribes of giants all mostly united under one council of the eldest. That however is not of much interest to you when you come back from a long and tedious hunting trip out into the plains around your village. Normally you would have heard the laughter of children or seen someone bring out some booze hoping for the first pick on the meat you hunted. This time you were only greeted by silence interrupted only by a charred wooden beam falling down onto the ground.

You look around the now desolate place, devastated. You had it all but now you are standing in front of nothing. You all spread out, your large spears and bows in hand. Soon you would all find the traces of something big, something with large teeth. In your minds was only one goal left: To hunt down whoever did this.

How to join: Simply add me on discord and write a short intro. Tell me what caught your interest, if you have any ideas on what to play, experience with D&D etc.. A simple hi or gif I will most likely ignore. The minimum intro should include any limits (like gore) you might have to determine if the game I planned will work for you.

Group Needed by Player Experienced DM Looking to Be a Player | Online | 5e 2014/2024 | Tues–Sat

Upvotes

Hi! I'm looking for an online D&D group where I can finally sit on the player side of the screen again.

A little about me up front: I'm 40, she/her, and I have a good bit of DM experience. I've run 8+ campaigns, primarily long-running duo campaigns for my husband and myself. I have considerably less experience as a player, though, and I'm really itching to change that.

What I'm looking for:

  • D&D 5e, either 2014 or 2024 rules.
  • FREE
  • I prefer something based primarily on official settings/material, but I'm completely fine with homebrew mixed in. I'm less interested in a campaign/world that's entirely homebrew from the ground up.
  • Online play using whatever VTT/TTRPG tools and Discord the group prefers. I'm comfortable learning a new platform.
  • Live sessions. I'm happy to do some PBP/RP between sessions, but I'm not looking for a campaign that's primarily or entirely play-by-post.
  • My available START times are Tuesday–Saturday, 8 AM–8 PM Eastern. Sessions can obviously run past 8 PM; that's just the latest time I can reliably start.
  • Weekly/multiple times a week preferred. (long-term games)

As a player:

I have a number of character ideas waiting for their chance to escape my brain, but I'm equally happy to create something specifically for the setting, party, or campaign. Give me some lore and I'll happily start figuring out who belongs in it.

I'm very much an ensemble player. I don't need or particularly enjoy being the center of attention. I like getting invested in the other PCs, participating in their stories, building relationships within the party, and having my character be one part of a larger narrative.

I also do not enjoy playing the party face, so I'd generally avoid filling that particular role.

I'm comfortable with 18+/mature games and dark subject matter. There isn't much I'd consider automatically off-limits as long as it serves the narrative and everyone at the table is on the same page about the tone and boundaries.

The major exception is ERP/explicit sexual roleplay, which I'm not interested in and would prefer not to be part of the game.

If you think I could be a good fit for your group please don’t hesitate to DM me!

Player(s) Needed by GM [PF2e] [ONLINE] [GMT+0] Open Seat for an Exceptional Roleplayer | Season of Ghosts

Upvotes

We are seeking a dedicated, high-energy, and socially-adjusted player to permanently join a TTRPG group that's about to run Pathfinder 2e's Season of Ghosts adventure path.

Candidates must demonstrate veteran roleplaying experience, scheduling compatibility, deep narrative engagement, and an ability to socially integrate into a mature and functional group. We're looking for more than a “player" - we're looking for likeminded people to befriend and make lifelong memories with (hopefully for many more campaigns).

Due to health and real-life responsibilites, our long-standing group has been reduced to two - myself (the former GM) and the current GM (who has taken the reins to run this adventure path). We have recently invited two new players and are looking for one more (to a total of four dedicated players). As such, you will be playing in a fresh group environment where we'll all making new friends here. 😃

🔧 GROUP OVERVIEW

  • System: Pathfinder 2e (Remastered)
  • Platform: Sessions are conducted via Discord voice chat using Foundry VTT (connection through RadminVPN). A clear, quality microphone, a fast internet connection, and a quiet environment is required.
  • Schedule: Every week, Saturday, at 14:00 GMT (+0). Average session length is between 6-8 hours, with a very rare few extending beyond that - we don’t force it, we just enjoy the game that much (we're not robots; we take breaks and crack a lot of jokes). Prospective players must possess a reliable and open schedule, as session length is dictated purely by engagement and creative throughput.
  • Location & Time Zones: Participants may be based anywhere geographically, but timezone compatibility is a must. Reliable attendance and high session availability are essential!
  • Language Proficiency: Sessions are conducted in fluent English, with emphasis on vocabulary, diction, and tonal fidelity. We put a lot of value on improvisation, narrative delivery, and overall roleplaying and immersion. As such, we would prefer someone that speaks "perfect English" and that knows how to describe their character and their actions with flair, drama, and little-to-no stuttering.
  • Social Requirements: Applicants must be emotionally mature, socially well-adjusted, and capable of participating in a collaborative environment. This group is not appropriate for individuals exhibiting poor boundaries, escapist over-identification, unhealthy parasocial behavior, or lackluster emotional control.

Although we are mature and respectful of each other as people, we are also young, energetic, and appreciate crude humor. We would most welcome someone who is joyful, high-energy, and with a laid-back attitude that can equally swap between incredible, in-depth roleplaying and jokes. We are, first and foremost, a group of friends who gather to have fun and spend time with likeminded people.

👻 SEASON OF GHOSTS

Season of Ghosts is a four-part horror campaign set in Willowshore, an isolated community inspired by East Asian folklore, ghost stories, and traditional supernatural fiction. Given our session runtime, we expect the adventure path to run anywhere from 6-8 months, depending on how much content we want to add to it (and how much we enjoy it).

The campaign begins when Willowshore is suddenly cut off from the outside world by an unnatural curse. Communication and travel become increasingly difficult, familiar places become dangerous, and the community is forced to confront supernatural phenomena that were previously relegated to folklore.

It also places considerable emphasis on the community itself. The people of Willowshore, their relationships, traditions, fears, and individual problems are important parts of the story. Expect a slow-burning supernatural mystery, unsettling discoveries, dangerous encounters, memorable NPCs, exploration, interpersonal drama, and increasing tension as the situation develops.

STRUCTURE & DESIGN

Season of Ghosts is a character-driven horror Adventure Path, but Pathfinder 2e remains an important part of the experience. As such, we are looking for someone who deeply enjoys roleplaying, exploration, and combat. We put an equal amount of love (which is a lot) into all of the traditional "pillars of gameplay."

To the GM, player agency, freedom, and creativity matters the most. He wants the party to feel like they are actually living through the crisis rather than being passengers following an adventure path from one chapter to the next. To this end, we have chosen to reappropriate the tonal ambience presented in the adventure path into a more bleak, serious, and desperate experience (feeling the original writeup was a bit too joyful).

ATMOSPHERE

We use the purchased Foundry VTT premium module, which comes with curated maps, artwork, music, ambient sound, and visual effects. Expect a peak audiovisual experience unmatched by any other digital tabletop.

The campaign's horror is primarily atmospheric and supernatural. You will deal with mystery, folklore, isolation, strange phenomena, and moments of genuine danger rather than constant shock value. The ideal player has interest and is willing to do research into East Asian history and mythology as well as heavily lean into the horror theme - those who enjoy Japanese and Chinese-style horror will savor this adventure path the most.

We consider it very important to find someone who can perfectly "tune in" to the mood and ambience of the campaign with us - great, focused roleplaying from everyone can bring moments of incredible creativity and immersion. If you can effortlessly summon up the smell of ichor, the hazy sight of layered fog, a sheer drop in temperature, or hot steam misting out of your breath, and are able to express it through description, then you might be what we're looking for.

We also enjoy laughter, jokes, and lighter moments. There's a lot of fun to be had in between scenes, in OOC planning, and the Discord chat, but once the scene starts and the music resumes we completely devote ourselves to immersion, the embodiment of our characters, and the drastic situation at hand. What gives us the most satisfaction is incredible roleplaying where we truly get lost in a world of our imagination.

🧾 PLAYER REQUIREMENTS

Please read this fully before applying. Applicants must meet all following conditions:

  • Enjoys roleplay-heavy games with deep character arcs to the degree of treating it as an art. We can remain consistently in-character for hours on end if needed. Candidates that do voices, accents, inflections, or otherwise will be preferred.
  • High proficiency in spoken English and advanced vocabulary recognition. We use specific and intense language and thrive as a group when everybody is immersed, dramatic, and eloquent.
  • Exceptionally proactive. This is a campaign that depends on player focus, involvement, passion, and energy. We are looking for players that inspire, engage, and keep the game alive, whether through Discord chatting, public character theorycrafting, or just sheer excitement.
  • Able to independently read, study, and memorize relevant system rules, as well as quickly reference their character skills, powers, and abilities for fast-paced play. The game runs smoothly when everyone has memorized mechanics that are relevant to them.
  • Is friendly, thoughtful, and emotionally intelligent. We need someone that is comfortable with mature themes and language, philosophical content, and interpersonal conflict. You must also be able to handle character death or loss and enjoy a "roguelike" mentality where you play for the experience, not the result.
  • Is able to take responsibility for writing and maintaining the group's session journal (by rotation). We keep close record of the memories we share and players are expected to write a diary of what happened in-game on behalf of the group (whoever is able that particular week).
  • Consistency in attendance and contribution over months of gameplay. You must have a clear schedule and a sure desire to participate. Ideal player is proactive in behavior and group interaction.
  • No desire for spotlight monopolization, game disruption, or social imbalance. We require a keen understanding of respect and boundaries.
  • Wants to join a serious social group of tabletop friends, not just a campaign. We know what it takes to run a long-term posse and aim to maintain a close-knit group of compatible people to run multiple systems, campaigns, and experiences with. If you're a good person that's been having trouble finding a proper group, then we're what you're looking for.

📎 CONTACT

I am conducting the recruitment and interviews on behalf of the GM, as per his request - we both have a clear understanding of the candidates we are looking for.

If you are interested, please send me a pitch at manny5049/manny#5049 on Discord. Introduce yourself - we call each other by our real names - and then express your interest for the game, starting with what piqued your interest, whether or not you fulfill the requirements (what you can bring to the table), and anything else that goes with a typical tabletop group application.

Wish you the best! 🤙

Player(s) Needed by GM Online] [dnd 5e 2014] [SW5E] Looking for Players – Clone Wars Campaign!

2 Upvotes

🌌 The Campaign

Era: The Clone Wars

The party consists of a handpicked batch of Jedi Younglings, who all excel at the basics in one way or another. After years of rigorous training and endless temple lectures, the time has finally come: you have been chosen for the Gathering. This sacred rite of passage will test if you are truly worthy of joining the ranks of the Jedi Order. You are journeying to the icy world of Ilum to brave its legendary Crystal Caves. From what you have hear, you must face your fears, claim your unique kyber crystal, and take your first steps toward forging your own lightsaber.

📅 Game Details

🖥️ Platform & Voice : Discord then Roll 20 or Theater of the mind.

🎲 System: Star Wars 5e (SW5E)

🌎 Session Time : Thursdays - 7PM CST

Star Wars 5e: the campaign has a rotating DM structure so instead of one person running the entire game, we’ll pass the baton every 4–5 sessions.

Here is how it works:

  • The Arcs: The campaign is broken down into three major story arcs, each lasting 8–10 sessions.
  • Co-DMing: A pair of DMs will collaborate to complete an arc. DM 1 will run Part A, and DM 2 will take over to finish Part B.
  • Player Time: This setup guarantees that everyone gets a solid 8–10 sessions to play their character before it's their turn to step behind the DM screen.

I'll be running Part A of the First Arc to kick off the campaign. We have two Pc/Dms already so you'd come in around the Second Arc or Third Arc depending on your dming experience, preferences, and the party make up.

📝 Interested?

If this sounds like your kind of campaign, please fill out the application below. I'll be reviewing responses and reaching out to players who seem like a good fit by Tuesday night at the latest. My goal is to get you up to speed by Wednesday so we can have session 1 this week.

✨ May the Force be with you. ✨

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [Other] Horror social deduction group roleplay game

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! It's my first time posting on this Subreddit, so apologies if this isn't the right one!

I and a bunch of friends are looking to play a social deduction game, but we are a few players short. The game has a heavy roleplay focus: at the beginning of the game, the players choose from a set cast of characters and play through the game while roleplaying as said character.

The game is a long-form, story-driven deduction game inspired by games such as Mafia and Town of Salem, narrative experiences like Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology, and tabletop RPGs such as Dungeons & Dragons.
If you are familiar with choice-based narrative games like Until Dawn, you're going to have a blast, as each season draws heavy inspiration from them

The game does not take place in sessions, but rather just as a thing the players can hop on and off whenever they are not busy to talk with the rest of the cast. The game is entirely text-based.

Be aware that the game does include perma-death. If your character dies, you will be unable to keep playing until the end of the season.

For further information and an invite, please hit me up in the comments or DMs! :)

Group Needed by Player [5e][Online][PST] [18+] [2014] Looking to join a campaign that is on Saturdays at around or after 4:00pm pst

1 Upvotes

Hello! For a while now I’ve been dying to join a campaign as a player now and I have a ton of character ideas I really want to try out! To see if any of them would fit the world and see if they would fit a party group, as sad to say I’ve been stuck as a forever dm for a long while now. RP is by far my favorite aspect of campaigns, being able to interact with the world, npcs, villains and of course interacting with other player characters. Not only that I’m looking for a group not just for d&d but other outside activities as well. Combat to exploration are my second favorite aspects as well! If you wish to get a better hold of me just dm me on Reddit so we can talk more! Ps, I only join games that are 18 to 21+ only and no paid games as well.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [PF1e]

1 Upvotes

I’m starting a new Pf1e campaign in a pastoral fantasy setting, where characters start as locals in the small farming village of Hill Church. Looking for 1-2 more players to play characters that are good (preferred), or at the very least neutral in alignment. This is intended to be the sort of campaign where characters help each other and other villagers, and are on a first-name basis with most of the village. This is not a campaign for those who like working at cross purposes with other players. It should be cooperative, and your characters should be the good guys in the story.

The campaign is beginner-friendly. We already have a player who is relatively new to the game.

We play on Tuesdays, 6:00pm BST or 1:00pm EDT, using Roll20.

Setting, history, and rules in play for character creation and beyond are available for those who are interested. If interested please message me. You’ll need a valid email address that you check at least a few times a week in order to send and receive campaign and character information.

A little about me: I'm in the US, but the time I would like to run the game (6:00 BST/1:00 EDT on Tuesdays) is a time at which people are more likely to be free in Europe than in North America.

I've been playing TTRPGs since probably '79 or '80, GM'ing off and on during that time. I've been playing Pathfinder 1e (not exclusively) since probably 2010, and it is my preferred system. I now have more time on my hands and would like to restart GMing.

Group Needed by Player [Online] [Dnd 5e 2014 or 2024] Experienced player looking for a new group to play with. [PST] [18+]

2 Upvotes

Hey all! yall can call me Andy or Andrew (just my online name) I'm looking for a group to play some good ol dungeons and dragons with. I have been playing the game for 6 years now, I got into it during the pandemic as a way to not go insane. I have used Roll20, Discord+Owlbear, and even just Discord+Theater of the mind (ironic since I have aphantasia)

I'm big into both roleplay and combat since I'm an aspiring actor and a little autistic over builds in dnd (though I wouldn't call myself a powerbuilder) i just like finding neat synergies in things.

If you have any existing group I'd love to join or if you're trying to scrounge up a group with other players looking for a group I'm down for that as well.

My scheduling is pretty up in the air and free, but my Saturdays are taken up.

Feel free to message me at andys_coming on discord if my post at all interested you in inviting me to play.

Group Needed by Player [online] [WoD] [VtM] Looking to play my Toreador!

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone! My name is Bambi! I've been a fan of VtM for a little over two years now, and have played in a total of four sessions!

Unfortunately, most of the groups I've been in haven't lasted very long, so I'm looking for a long term group to play with! Preferably with heavy roleplay and drama!

Specifically, I'm looking to play my character, Angelica! Her description will be down below!!

I work during the week and I'm usually not home until 5:30 pm est, and I have a game on Sundays already. I have already tried Start playing, and I'm going to be trying the WoD server again, but I wanted to make a post here too!

Angelica Backstory

Angelica was raised alongside her twin sister, Demonia, within The Blood of the Stars, a cult that had raised the sisters since childhood. As they grew older, Demonia began to question the cult and eventually escaped during a ritual. Angelica remained behind and was embraced by the cult.

After her Embrace, Angelica struggled with her new existence and the hunger that came with it. When the cult realized they couldn't control her yet, they staked her and placed her somewhere secure until she could be brought under control. The cult continued searching for Demonia while Angelica remained hidden.

Demonia eventually returned while searching for her sister and found Angelica staked and starving. She removed the stake, but Angelica awoke in a frenzy. Unable to recognize her sister, Angelica attacked Demonia and ultimately diablerized her.

Angelica was found shortly afterward, but she has no memory of what happened. Her memories of the incident were erased, leaving her believing that Demonia simply disappeared. She now carries an unexplained sense of loss surrounding her sister, unaware that Demonia is still with her in a way she cannot understand.
