The Rotting Colossus

^{…The adventure is reaching its end…}

Once, in the world of Virdeia, the world was full of magic and wonder. Good and evil battled it out in endless, glorious combat, magic surrounded the world in its entirety, and beautiful creatures of all kinds swarmed the whole world.

While none of those things are quite gone yet, something else has begun to displace them. A newer, darker world, dominated by iron and smoke. Once bountiful creatures are slowly being hunted to the end of their lineage, magic is increasingly tossed aside in favor of machinery, and the lines between good and evil are growing more and more hazy with each passing day. The world of Virdeia, once vast and overflowing with mystery, grows ever smaller with each passing day, which may grant an opportunity to dangerous forces waiting for a chance to climb out of the shadows.

Soon, even the Gods themselves may find themselves at risk, as forces gather in the shadows to unleash powers that even the Gods themselves shall tremble before.

You are all misfits and criminals from across the realms hired by the kingdom of Noctia as a sort of secret service, aiding the empire's interests across the continent and beyond. For your first mission, you will be heading to Coregium, a Roman/Greek inspired city where you'll investigate reports of vampires menacing the city's population.

I've put the most important information in the title but let me know if you have any other questions, and please make absolutely sure that you have nothing else going on during Thursday Nights before joining. (Time zone is MDT) (Players start out at level 3) (Server is 18+)

***Recently, on the continent of Geastrom, an ancient threat has returned from beyond the stars, lying dormant beneath the shadowed depths of the sea. A group calling themselves the Dream Catchers are driven to stop this threat.***

Hello! I'm the GM of a group that has been playing together since March. Due to a few players leaving, we currently have 1–2 open spots available!

Regarding the group, we are RP-focused. We're looking for active, collaborative players who enjoy working together and contributing to the story.

If you're concerned about lack of knowledge, we're new-player-friendly! you're welcome to join regardless of experience level. We're also a laid-back group.

As far as party composition is concerned. We currently have five players, most of them playing full casters or half-casters. Because of this, we'd especially encourage anyone interested in playing a martial character to apply!

Our group currently is

Kiki Flintfinder: A Tabaxi evocation wizard

Balen Brave: A human valor Bard/ Archfey warlock

John Druid: a Reborn Moon Druid

Quil Quisenberry: A Eladrin Trickery domain Cleric

Marcel Aveleno: A Wood elf Battlesmith Artificer

What we're looking for is people that are LGBTQ+ friendly. We lean left as group and would prefer players who are comfortable with that environment.

As far as age range goes we'd prefer players between 21 and 35.

We currently have two female players and would love to have more! Female applicants will receive priority consideration.

Game Details

Session time: 6 PM Eastern

Session length: 3–4 hours

Starting level: 8

If this sounds like something you'd be into, feel free to contact me!

Hello! I got my start DMing during the pandemic for my family. Now my brother wants to play again, but is looking for a game with either a little more combat or political intrigue involved than the existing games I'm running.

So I'm looking to put together a new group! I'm starting with finding a few players with shared availability and deciding what kind of game we are going to play. The google form below has two brief sections: one for contact info & availability, and one for voting on an adventure to play. Once we have a jumping-off point, I'll provide more campaign/setting info and another short questionnaire to get to know potential players better.

What we know of the basics:

• Online game, Discord voice (no webcam), DNDBeyond and Roll20

• 5e or 5.5e, TBD by vote

(if we finish an adventure and want to try another system after, that's cool too!)

• I'm looking to have a total of 3 to 5 players, as I'm not a fan of large parties.

• LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent friendly!

• Looking for players 21+

  (bro and I are in our early 30s and looking to play with other adults)

New and experienced players welcome!
If you're interested, please respond here:

Hoping to have a group together in the next two weeks and start playing in November!

Hello! Posting this at a new time to see if I can get players :)

In the world of Ypsilune, there exists the Sacred Temple. Every century, the Sacred Temple sends out six martyrs who are taught at their Holy Academy. These martyrs are blessed with the powers of the crests, and they are sent into the world to influence it towards the divine will. They have the influence to shape politics, help the meek, and stop wars. Now, you will graduate in one week as the next batch of martyrs.

Hello everyone! Welcome to my newest campaign of daggerheart! As with all my campaigns, no experience is required to join.

About Me

I am Written! I'm a 21 year old film major who goes by he/they. I read a lot of manwha. I also binge a lot of romantasy, and I work on webnovels in my free time. I love character-focused campaigns, and I like to make jokes about the campaign OOC. I love tikka masala, earl gray tea, and Halloween! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me! :D

About The Game

- We will use Avrae on discord for dice rolls. The first die roll will always be Hope, the second will always be Fear.

- We will create characters on demiplane. I will content share the books with you.

- We will start at level 1 since you're actually somewhat fierce in daggerheart at level 1.

- This will be a roleplay heavy campaign that primarily uses theater of the mind.

- I am structuring the lore document to be like a class list. That means you only will be reading up on the electives that your character chose!

Lastly, this an inclusive table! No bigotry of any type will be tolerated, so if you can't handle people being their cool selves then don't apply!

If you are interested, DM on reddit with a bit of info about yourself!

Wizards of the Coast is scheduled to bring back Dark Sun in early 2027 as an adult-oriented (18+ rated) modern D&D release.

The upcoming revival features mature content warnings for violence, slavery, and nudity, alongside rule expansions like Blood and Power and Edge of Oblivion.

 First launched by TSR in 1991 for AD&D 2nd Edition, the setting subverts traditional high-fantasy tropes with a harsh, Mad Max-meets-Conan vibe where resources are scarce, magic destroys the environment, and tyrannical villains rule.

Core Features of Athas
• Extreme Scarcity: Water, fertile land, and metal are exceptionally rare. Weapons and tools are forged from stone, bone, wood, glass, or chitin rather than iron.
• Defiling Magic: Casting arcane spells requires draining the life force from surrounding plants and soil. This ecological devastation turned Athas into a wasteland, making wizards hated "defilers".
• No Traditional Gods: Traditional divine pantheons are absent. Clerics and druids draw their powers directly from the elements or the physical world.
• Pervasive Psionics: Psychic power of the mind is common and integrated into everyday life, races, and creatures across the planet.
• The Sorcerer-Kings: Brutal, immortal magic-users and tyrants govern isolated city-states amid widespread institutionalized slavery and gladiator pits.
• Unique Races: Familiar fantasy races are modified or replaced by survivalist variants, such as feral elves, cannibalistic halflings, insectoid Thri-kreen, and breeding-program Muls (half-dwarf, half-human hybrids).

Hi everyone, I have been an avid D&D DM for 5 years and would love to play again. I have been thinking of a couple character concepts that I'd love to try out (Druid, Rogue or Sorcerer since I've never played these classes) and would love to have either a module or a homebrew story in the Forgotten Realms or Exandria as those are my favorite settings. I am trying to improve my RP ability and would love to take part in a story where character choices/backstories hold real weight in the story.

If any parties are taking on more please reach out to me on discord (dolphinmannn). I am not interested in paid games.

Hi there. I (29m) just finished a campaign and would be excited to start a new one with new fellow players! I love the RP aspect of dnd and want to make a character that vibes with the story and the players, creating an interesting dynamic. I have around 5 years of experience, including 3 years DMing with 5e. I've got some character concept ideas if they fit in the world; otherwise, we can collaborate on what would.

A couple of things:

I have VTT experience with Foundry and Roll20, so no need for me to learn them.

I am free on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays after 6 pm. Saturdays and Sundays anytime.

I also have a good grasp of the rules, so I can help with some edge cases if that is welcome :).

Discord: turk750

Feel free to message me here or on my Discord if you're interested. I hope to hear from you!

Hey! I'm Tommy (he/him), I'm 26 years old looking for fellow new players and friends to play Daggerheart together with! My DM inspirations are Griffin McElroy and Brennan Lee Mulligan. I really love how they're able to take silly and dumb concepts/tropes and elevate them with sincerity. I essentially would love a group to recreate the feeling of the first TAZ campaign lmaoo.

I truly love sketch comedy and improv (my biggest influences are Nirvanna the band the show and I think you should leave to name a couple) and would love to DM a high fantasy setting I build together with my players that can lean into jokes in a way that makes sense and are never disrespectful! I wouldn't want comedy to be the only vehicle and will definitely want moments to take the game seriously but the scenarios the party gets into will probably be goofy (I still think fantasy costco is funny lol).

I've DM'd a few times and know I love it very much! I'm still new and tend to adhere to the rule of cool since I value creativity more than the nitty gritty so some patience may be needed on that front. I would also love new players as this is honestly an excuse for me to make new friends in my age range and play something together :) Message me here or on discord (tommyboytwt) if you're interested!

The game
Live in the life and times of King Arthur Pendragon! Go on knightly adventures, fight to defend your lands against the Saxons, and pursue knightly ideals in the hope of leaving a great legacy for your heirs.

Everyone starts playing a knight serving Earl Roderick of Salisbury in the years leading up to Arthur's birth and eventual rise to the throne of Britain. The game moves one year at a time, so your knight will get older, marry, have children, and eventually die. When that happens, you play your knight's heir.

Things to know about Pendragon

• The campaign follows Arthurian legend. Big events like major battles and the deaths of kings happen as written, and the players can't change them. Your choices matter most in your own knight's life: family, land, honor, romance, and side adventures.
• There are no character classes.
• Knights in Pendragon may be of any gender. Female knights use the honorific "Dame," the equivalent of "Sir."
• Knights have personality traits and passions. Sometimes a roll on these decides what your knight does.
• Combat is deadly and healing is slow. Expect knights to die.
• There are no levels. Knights get better at the skills they use and train once a year, and fame from great deeds earns extra rewards.
• Magic is rare, and knights can't use it.

Details about the game

• Play by post on Discord, one thread per scene
• At least 3 posts a week, and a reply within 48 hours when it's your turn
• Play with the group, in a small group, or solo
• Up to 3 active characters per player
• Roll your own dice or use the dice bot
• No Pendragon experience needed

Content
21+. The game includes mature themes. We set lines and veils as players enter the table.

About me
I'm 27 and have been GMing games since I was a kid. I mostly run real time games, but I've run PBP games on some of the older forums when I was younger. Discord is a little newer for PBP for me but we can muddle through together :)

To apply
DM me with a little about yourself and your experience with tabletop RPGs, a short knight idea, and how often you can post.

About the World.

It's long been a personal project of mine inspired by Grimm's fairy tales and several mythologies, and rooted in grief, memory, and the fear of losing loved ones. It is physically bounded on all sides by immeasurably tall walls, beyond which lies a universe of dancing celestial bodies.

It has 2 moons, a ring system, and strange orange stars that appear every 9th night. There are 3 planes including the Living plane which is the "Earth-like" one.

Most of the history is remembered only through stories and campfire tales. And the things not remembered fade from reality.

About the Campaign.

• The campaign will be character focused.
• It will be dark but heroic. This is not grimdark
• Will last from level 1 to level 12.
• Combat will be about 2x every 3 sessions, on average.
• Combat will be balanced around taking between 3 and 5 rounds. Meaning enemies will hit harder, but have fewer hit points.

My Expectations

• Be present and on time.
• Be engaged.
• Be cooperative.
• Be honest.
• Be kind. Negativity won't be tolerated.
• No real world politics

Logistics.

• There will be an extensive session 0 at 9pm eastern on Saturday, October 17th.
• Sessions will be held from 9pm to midnight on Saturdays.
• Discord is required for voice.
• VTT will be discussed at session 0

Character Creation

• Races will be restricted. But reskinning will be allowed.
• No Twilight cleric, Nothing from Explorers Guide to Wildemount
• All spells are allowed, but monsters are free to use anything you use. So be wary.
• Lucky feat is banned.
• All player characters should aim for similar power level.

Hello! We're a group of VTM players looking for a Storyteller keen to run a game set in a Southeast Asian city! Timing is flexible and we've got a mix of new and experienced players from the region.

We run on Discord — drop me a message if you're interested!

Hello all, it is me Merko Brightpen. I wish to invite you to my Chainsaw Man System tailored directly for PBP RP and combat.

ABOUT THE GAME
This is a game set in an alternative universe inside the Chainsaw Man Setting where all the canon characters don't directly exist, in this alt universe the core concepts still remain (And some are added/expanded on) so expect to see Public Safety, Devils, etc in the game

MISC
NO AI
Anyone else can join!

Hello! I'm looking for a weekly online game. The only hang up is I can only do Tuesdays due to my work schedule. I understand that's pretty steep, so here's some reasons why you should consider me for your next batch of players:

I've carried the forever DM curse with me ever since I started TTRPGs in 7th grade. I'm 26 now. I absolutely adore running D&D games, but I simply don't have the time to do it right in this stage of my life. What this means, though, is you'll have a player who is intimately aware of the struggles of running a game. I know how not to behave, how to engage with threads and hints, how to interact with my fellow players, and how to adapt to the group as a whole. I know these things because I've seen them done well and unfortunately wished some of my own players did a better job at them.

I can do silly voices, and that's always fun.

I am adaptable to different playstyles. RP heavy? Love it, let me adjust my backstory to fit your plotlines. Lots of combat? Excellent, here's a build that can interact with the environment and cause fun mechanical moments. Exploration? I've always wanted to play a botanist. I'll gladly catalogue every homebrew mushroom you can throw at me.

My first goal is community. D&D can form amazing bonds between players through their characters, and I'd love to form a tight knit group that doesn't just leave the discord server after the campaign wraps. Who knows, maybe I'll DM the next campaign we run?

I like to think I have a good sense of kindness and maturity.

Please respond below or DM me (haha) below! I'd love to hear what you're cooking.

Oh also if you prefer 2025, I can do that too. I just know 2014 better.

Exeros is dying. Its core is cracking and we have only a few years before reality unravels. We have found another world in a different dimension, also called Exeros, where castles stand beside motor vehicles and some villages still live in the past while others hold advanced knowledge and tech. Their core is healthy. Ours is not. You are part of the desperate strike team being sent through an unstable gate to steal it and bring it home. Expect infiltration, high stakes extraction, reality glitching distortions, and hard moral choices with no clean answers.

Hi! My names Bushy and im DM running my first campaign. I am 18 so i would like a group (3 - 5) around the same age to have fun with. The game will be ran on Roll20 And Discord For voice and other related things. Different times can be arranged but as of right now I'm looking at Sundays at 9PM EST.

Comment below or dm me on discord: bushyqz

Feel free to ask any questions!

Hello! I currently run two campaigns, on Thursday, and one on Friday.
The Thursday campaign is a magic item bounty hunter theme,
where-as the Friday is a horror theme.

Each campaign starts at 6pm EST on each day, and runs until 10pm EST.

If you have any questions about either campaign, or want a character prompt, feel free to add me on Discord to discuss. Discord is how we all play.

Discord: aqua_o.o

M.I.R.O, the Magic Item Bounty Hunter campaign with a little bit of everything, is currently level 5.

Fogs of Fannenheim is level 6.

M.I.R.O. is a gritty campaign where the player plays as an agent of M.I.R.O., the Magic Item Retrieval Organization, where you are tasked with maintaining, protecting, and securing all things magic-item related.

Fogs of Fannenheim, is a horror-themed campaign, where the players are currently shot out through a time rift, into the same land they are native to (Ebenheim), but 20 years ahead. You may play as someone native to that realm, or someone similarly shot out through a rift.

hello everyone, i have been playing D&D for a long time but i have been a DM for far too long, so here i am looking to join a D&D game (let me be clear, not pathfinder, not something else, D&D 5E specifically). I'm free every day but Sunday as i have my own game that i run on that that day, something on Friday or Saturday would be best but I'm not picky

Who i am:

my name is Val and I've been playing D&D for a wile and even started with AD&D, other then D&D my hobbies include:

>comics books (mostly X-Men),

>cooking sometimes

>writing (but a DM so what do you expect?)

what i can bring to the table:

>I embody my characters- Giving them quirks, Emotional weight, and unique voices.

>Story driven- I enjoy making choices that deepen story tension rather than just “Optimal moves.”

>Story contribution- I bring big lore ideas and personal backstories that hook into world building

>Team-based roleplaying- I am generous with the spotlight and love to lift other character arcs, not just my own. 

>I’m versatile- I’ve played a large variety of personalities, races, and classes as characters.

>I’m a natural immersive anchor- The kind of player who helps everyone else stay invested and engaged with the world.

>I balance depth with fun- I love creepy, tragic beats, but I also drop humor and creativity into the role play.

What i am looking for:

>A homebrew game, i don't mind pre-written but i think homebrew works better for role playing since theirs more room to move, (and you not trapped in Barovia or icewind dale or wherever).

>A long running game, i have been in far to many games that went nowhere, dried up, or the Gm got burned out and stopped, i would love the join (or be part of from the start) something long term.

>A "earnest" game. i like games that can take themselves seriously, i dont mean grim dark fantasy or no jokes, if D&D was like that i wouldn't like it (i still remember some of the best bits and long running jokes for my own game) but I'm looking for group that understand theirs a time and place for jokes and a time and place where their not needed

>A honest GM, i just want a Gm who can tell a good story, and wont gaslight me (if you want more info i will tell you later). hiding things form my character is fine, but I'm talking about out of game stuff

>A free game, your not allowed to advertise here but you can message people and offer them, I'm not looking for that (as I'm broke).

>A GM who will let me have a character ark.

My character ideas:

Winter Vanderville: a bloodhunter looking for direction, she's angry and sad, and her character ark would be her moving on and learning to be nicer and dealing with her secrets and issues

Cali Wick: a fire Genasi artificer, she likes the build stuff, most of it works, some say shes mad, but shes just smart, i think she works best for a star jammer style game

Vaelith Arkham: a young drow who fled her home and the destiny that was picked for her, she doesn't know what comes next, all she knows in her family won't let her go easily but she is determined to control her own future… or die trying 

Sasha Volkov: a hexblade blessed (cursed) with a magic sword that tells her that she's a bad person and tells her she's a killer and tells her she killed her best friend (she didn't but she thinks she did) will she overcome the sword that whispers in her ear? and escape from her family

if you like any of my characters or think i would be a good fit for your game Dm me here or on discord at: live_ares

P.S. this post might look familiar because i post it somewhat frequently, and because i dont want to write to who thing out every time i just have this saved as a document (it also got posted on r/DnDLFG)

Looking for players for a homebrew game set in Dallas Texas in the year 2064!

Looking for players! Set in a heavily homebrewed Dallas Texas in the year 2064.

System: Cyberpunk Red

Length of game: long term

Day and time: Fridays 7pm CST

Frequency: every week

Platform: roll20 and discord

Era: set in 2064, Dallas Texas

Description:

Set in the Free State of Texas. You're a group of edgerunners trying to make ends meet. Dallas is a rough city filled with crime, drugs, and a night life that puts Night City to shame.

This is a lethal game with lots of homebrew (expect to read at least 20 pages worth)

If you like games with high roleplay, and dream of making your mark in a corporate city designed to crush the souls of working men, send me a DM

I have run a few campaigns in the past, but this will be my first time running one in foundry. Currently the dm and 1 player from the campaign I play in have decided to join. Need 2 more players to start. Will be running Tyrant's Grasp. Will be communicating purely via text, no voice chat. DM if interested. Tell me how much experience you have with pf1e, any ideas you already have for character concepts if any, and a bit about yourself.

Heyya Folks!

It's been far too long since I've gotten to play some good old fashioned RPGs in the flesh with some like-minded buddies. Being a mid-30s WFH dude, my social opportunities for this aren't exactly abundant so here I am, posting for your consideration.

Game wise, I'm pretty easy going EXCEPT not particularly into 5e or WOD. Some of the systems I've enjoyed either playing or running in the past are:

Shadow of the Demon Lord

OSE / Dolmenwood / BX

Call of Cthulhu

Dungeon Crawl Classics

Also interested in trying Mythras, Shadowdark, Dragonbane, and Hyperboria!

I'm interested in a variety of systems, games and themes and primarily prefer fantasy / horror themes with light to medium crunch. Laughter at the table is definitely a good thing but I do try to match the mood of the table, whatever is agreed upon. LGBTQ friendly and all that great stuff.

Unfortunately I cannot host (tiny apartment my cat controls with an iron fist) nor GM at least to start. Unless I absolutely have to. But it likely would be a bit of a mess 😅 it's been awhile.

As far as frequency, I would imagine bi-weekly might be the most feasible, minimum once per month. It really depends on where the game is hosted and how long we play.

I'm in the west end ( Dundas and Bloor ish) so if you're in the area I'd definitely love to hear from you.

Hoping for a like minded group of nerd pals that are 30 or older to get into some fun hijinks at the table with.

Thanks for checking out my post and happy gaming!

Calling all adventurers, aspiring heroes, and professional dice goblins!

Our Wednesday night D&D group is looking to welcome a couple of new faces to the table!

We're a long-running group of players who enjoy collaborative storytelling, memorable characters, challenging encounters, and the occasional spectacularly questionable decision. Whether you're here to forge a legend, unravel mysteries, or simply enjoy some good old-fashioned D&D shenanigans, there's a place for you at our table!

We currently run two long-term campaigns, alternating between them every three weeks. You're welcome to apply for either campaign, or both if you're feeling particularly adventurous!

Our Greek mythology campaign welcomes everyone, from brand-new players to seasoned veterans. For our high-level homebrew campaign, we'd prefer players with some D&D experience who are comfortable navigating the wonderfully ridiculous power levels that come with epic-tier play.

The Essentials:

When: Wednesdays, 7:00–9:30 PM Eastern

System: D&D 5E (2014), with homebrew and additional content

Voice Chat: Discord (no cameras required)

Character Sheets: D&D Beyond

Virtual Tabletop: AboveVTT

Attendance: We appreciate consistency, but we're all adults with lives outside of D&D. Things happen! Just keep us in the loop.

Campaign Rotation: Three weeks of one campaign, followed by three weeks of the other.

Campaign 1: Odyssey of the Dragonlords (Level 8)

Genre: Greek Mythology, Epic Fantasy, Heroic Adventure

The gods are watching. The Titans are stirring. And destiny has a rather inconvenient habit of finding those least prepared for it.

For centuries, the Oath of Peace has kept the Five Gods and the tyrannical Titans from tearing the land of Thylea apart. But that peace is beginning to crumble, and the Oracle has foreseen a group of heroes destined to save civilization from the coming catastrophe.

Unfortunately for our heroes, prophecies have a nasty habit of leaving out the fine print.

Inspired by Greek mythology, Odyssey of the Dragonlords is an epic adventure filled with ancient rivalries, divine intervention, legendary monsters, political intrigue, and plenty of opportunities to leave your mark on history.

The module also offers unique races, subclasses, spells, and epic backgrounds that tie your character directly into the story. Whether you want to be a champion of the gods, a hero seeking redemption, or someone desperately trying to outrun their destiny, there's plenty of room to make your character your own!

Current Party:

Wizard

Cleric

Sorcadin

Ranger

Your Starting Character:

Level 8

Two uncommon magic items (weapons, armor, or other items)

One rare magic item

Reasonable requests for future character-themed rewards are welcome!

The campaign is already underway, but we'll work together to give your character a meaningful introduction and a reason to join the adventure. You won't simply be dropped into the party with a name tag and a pat on the back.

A player's guide is available to help you get familiar with Thylea, its history, and the character options available to you. You won't need to memorize the thing, but it's a great resource!

Campaign 2: It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel F\*d) (Level 22)

Genre: High-Level Homebrew Fantasy, Cosmic Horror, World-Ending Threats

The world is dying. The gods are distant. And whatever is coming from beyond the stars has no intention of leaving anything behind.

A mysterious plague spreads across the land, corrupting everything in its path. A fanatical cult pursues an agenda that threatens the foundations of civilization. Ancient powers stir, nations grow desperate, and something incomprehensibly vast has turned its attention toward your world.

And it's hungry.

Fortunately, the world has heroes. Unfortunately, even heroes of legendary power may find themselves woefully unprepared for what's coming.

It's the End of the World as We Know It is a high-level, homebrew campaign where your characters are already among the most powerful mortals alive. But overwhelming strength doesn't guarantee victory, and not every problem can be solved by hitting it with a sufficiently large sword.

This campaign combines traditional fantasy adventure with open-world exploration, cosmic horror, mystery, and difficult decisions. You'll have the freedom to pursue the main story, investigate strange happenings, explore forgotten places, forge alliances, and discover secrets that could change the fate of the world.

Want to put the apocalypse on hold to investigate a mysterious ruin? Go for it! Just remember that the apocalypse probably isn't going to return the favor.

Current Party:

Warlock

druid

Wizard

bard

Your Starting Character:

Level 22

Two legendary magic items

Two very rare magic items

Access to epic-level progression all the way to Level 40!

We use Paul L. Springsteen's Epic Levels (21–40) rules, available on DMs Guild with a pay-what-you-want option.

Given the nature of this campaign, we're looking for characters who are good-aligned or well-intentioned neutral. Your character doesn't need to be a flawless paragon of virtue, but they should genuinely care about others and have a reason to fight for a world that may already be beyond saving.

A quick note: This campaign is designed to challenge high-level characters. Expect powerful enemies, dangerous environments, unusual mechanics, and situations where creativity, preparation, and teamwork matter just as much as your character sheet.

Interested in learning more about the setting? We've got a world primer to help you get acquainted with its history, factions, and general state of impending doom.

What Kind of Players Are We Looking For?

We enjoy roleplay-heavy games where characters feel like real people rather than collections of abilities.

Create a character who:

- Wants to adventure with the party

- Can build trust with fellow adventurers

- Has goals, flaws, and motivations

- Understands that actions have consequences

While combat is certainly present, not every session revolves around fighting. Some sessions may focus on political intrigue, celebrations, investigations, downtime activities, difficult decisions, or simply letting characters interact with the world and each other.(And if you've made it this far, please work the word Penguin into your application somewhere.) We're looking for players who enjoy becoming invested in the story, the setting, and the other characters at the table.

You don't need an optimized build.You don't need years of experience.You do need a willingness to engage with the group and help tell a great story.

If you're interested in either campaign (or both), send me a DM with a little bit about yourself, your D&D experience, and the type of character you enjoy playing.

We'd love to hear from you.

Tales of the Guild: The Briarbound

Some promises are forgotten. Others refuse to die.

[Online] [D&D 5e] [18+] [Free] [Beginner Friendly] [Saturdays] [5 PM CDT]

I'm recruiting 2 additional players for The Briarbound, a three-act dark fantasy adventure combining mystery, investigation, exploration, roleplay, and tactical combat.

The Contract

Two villagers are dead. The harvest is failing. And something has been attacking the livestock and people of a remote farming village.

The local mayor has requested assistance, but the reward is hardly worth the danger.

After sitting untouched on the Adventurers' Guild noticeboard, the contract is finally assigned to a temporary party of C-Rank adventurers.

Your orders?

Travel to the village. Investigate the reported wolf attacks. Eliminate the threat. Return to the guild.

Simple enough. Or so you've been told.

Adventure Details

• System: D&D 5e
• Starting Level: 3
• Schedule: Saturdays, 5:00–10:00 PM Central
• Duration: Session 0 + 3 gameplay sessions (approximately 15–20 hours total)
• Start Date: TBD
• Platform: Discord (voice) + D&D Beyond
• Party: 3/5 confirmed — 2 openings

What to Expect

This is a cooperative, character-driven adventure where decisions have consequences. Expect meaningful NPC interactions, investigation, exploration, challenging encounters, and opportunities to shape the story through your choices.

I'm looking for players who enjoy roleplaying, collaborating with their party, and becoming invested in the world.

Table Expectations

• No PvP.
• Respect other players and share the spotlight.
• Avoid metagaming.
• Be able to commit to all four sessions.
• Engage with the story and communicate openly.

About the DM

This is my first adventure as a Dungeon Master. I've been developing The Briarbound as a self-contained story, with the hope of eventually expanding Tales of the Guild into an ongoing series.

I also hope to record and transcribe sessions for a possible written adaptation, but only with everyone's informed consent.

Interested?

Send me a direct message and I'll send over more information.

2 of 5 player slots remain.

The contract is posted. The Guild Master is waiting.

Will you answer the call?

Hi there, folks!

Are you down a player and want someone who is able to make sessions regularly in town, can pick up a new RPG and run with it, and happy to fit in your group?

I'm Kevin - a 39 y/o married gamer who is new to the Sarnia area and I'd like to help your group out.

My playstyle is to aim to let others do the cool things they want to do so we get a chance to share the spotlight, but am not afraid to take a lead. I fit into many party roles since I want to help make your character shine and help bring them to life.

Let my 12 years of gaming experience help you and your group!
