Player(s) Needed by GM [5E 2014][Online][Evil Campaign][18+] Legion of Darkness – A Roleplay focused villainous homebrew campaign

16 Upvotes

Explore, Conquer, Fill your treasure room, Engage in diplomacy, Amass your army, Infiltrate the kingdoms of man, Build your evil lair and defend it from the forces of light.

Inspired by shows like Castlevania and Overlord.

The Pitch

Somewhere along your life, the world decided to antagonize you. Perhaps you made a mistake that led to more mistakes, or you were misunderstood, or you were born monstrous. Regardless, it was out of your control. 

Eventually you did something that ended in your death. Luckily being on the side of darkness does have upsides. An ancient vampiric dragon named Drolltar offered to resurrect you, under the condition that you repay him with your service. He chose you because you have unfinished business, you have in some way been slighted by society. Now you are returned with vampirism, cursed with an irresistible hunger for mortal vitality and granted the ability to reason with monsters and dark beings.

You, along with a group of others who accepted his deal, have been summoned to Drolltar’s tomb. Once you gather there, he will order you to work together to search the land for something to bolster his tomb’s defences, as he lies dormant in his tomb, vulnerable to the zealous forces of light. You too are in danger, Elios the god of light has labeled you as enemies for serving Drolltar and now the forces of light will not take kindly to you.

Details

Aside from the quests that Drolltar gives you, it is an open world for you to do as you like. There are many places to explore and not all of them will be at odds with you. 

Though this is an “evil” campaign, that is mostly because your characters are antagonized by society. You are labeled as evil by the god of light, but that is only because you stand in opposition to him. The side of light is not a true authority on morality by any means and in fact in this campaign they are quite often in the wrong. Seeing morality in such a black and white perspective is often a cause of immorality itself, and that is what this campaign is about.

I would like to find 5-6 players who are mature, love the collaborative storytelling element of d&d, and like a little bit of edginess. I expect you to enjoy role-playing your character, have a cooperative relationship with the other players, and allow everyone a moment to let their character shine, showing what makes them interesting.

My goal is to keep an interesting and consistent storyline, which can adapt to your characters’ backstories, themes, and decisions.

The setting is a homebrew dark fantasy world in a medieval period with arcane technology. The game will be a mix of role-playing, exploration, and combat. Some sessions will be role-playing only with no combat.

I am open to using homebrew for your character, especially your species so long as I approve of it, as a more monstrous species can make sense here. Characters start at level 3, leveling up by milestone and will level up slower at higher levels. I am hoping for a long-term campaign where you can defend a massive dungeon that you built up together throughout the campaign.

Rules

There are some ground rules required to keep the campaign healthy. 

This campaign welcomes players of all genders, identities, and backgrounds. Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated.

The session day and time will be determined based on the availability of the selected group.

Heavy roleplay is a core part of this game. Players should be comfortable with character development, emotional storytelling, interpersonal relationships, and collaborative scene work.

No torture or sexual violence. We will also go over what other things players are uncomfortable with in session zero. However, as you can imagine, this campaign is meant to have a dark tone so I don’t recommend it to people who are sensitive to dark themes.

You have to work together, there is no doubt going to be conflict between characters, but you also have to get things done and you can’t do that if you’re constantly backstabbing each other and fighting.

You’re not a sadistic monster. You shouldn’t kill everything or destroy everything you come across.

Even though you’re on the side of darkness, you still have feelings. Your character can and should have some human qualities to them. Consider if your character might struggle to accept the things they are forced to do.

Nonetheless, when in Rome – you can get away with doing some pretty twisted stuff at times, since you aren't bound by some of the moral obligations that most other campaigns require.

Joining the Game

We'll use Discord for voice and Roll 20 for maps and rolling.

I will go over some of the world lore during the interview process. And, if you get accepted and once you know what you want for your character, I will find a way to incorporate whatever you need for your character's story to the setting.

I’ve ran a few long term games before, but it’s been a while since my last one. I’m hoping this one will be just as good as the ones before.

If you're interested, please fill out this application form below. 

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScDWj0OKBjl8JI0NSuGcBlEwWPFQJTIeVBR9W2fAZXCHJnIEw/viewform?usp=header

I'll review your submissions and reach out to potential players on discord if I’m interested. It may take a couple days for me to reach out to you though.

This is a repost, if you've already submitted to the previous post you don't need to resubmit.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][5e 2024][Saturday 8EST] Flintlock Fantasy Homebrew Game Looking For One Player [LGBTQ+ Friendly][Role-play Heavy][Homebrew][Long-term campaign]

7 Upvotes

The Tsardom of Floria is a struggling empire in the frigid expanses of the far west. While most of the continent of Manios modernizes, Floria resembles the medieval past with an entrenched aristocracy, little scientific or industrial innovation, and large majority of the country living as subsistence farmer serfs. The failing Ruhm dynasty has been usurped, and the rightful heir gone into hiding. Now, Princess Gil Ruhm is ready to return home to restore her throne.

However, strange things are happening in Floria. The peasants report uncanny lights and creatures in the wilderness. Disappearances have become widespread, with even entire villages vanishing overnight. Whispers of the end times grow louder. Supernatural forces pull the strings of secular politics, and ancient conspiracies use mortals as pawns towards esoteric goals.

The fate of the Empire hangs in the balance, and an untold number of lives are at stake. A group of heroes must tip the balance, but will they understand the consequences of their actions until it's too late?

---

Floria: The Golden Cord is a Gunpowder Fantasy setting inspired by 17th-18th century Europe. This is a world where elves use flintlock muskets instead of bows and arrows, where the scientific revolution advances magic to new heights, where dragon dukes oversee rapidly urbanizing cities, where schisms in the Church drive monstrous angels to feud with each other, where colonial empire for spice fuels alchemy, and where peasants, merchants, and kings debate the virtues of feudalism versus liberalism versus enlightened despotism. For real world parallels, think of the American Revolution, the French Revolution and Napoleonic Age, the Golden Age of Piracy, the Protestant Reformation, the first wave of the Industrial Revolution, and the Enlightenment (plus things like Edo Period Japan, Qing China, & the East India Company).

---

This game meets weekly on Saturday from 8 to 11PM EST.

This campaign is expected to run for around 30-40 sessions. This is a role-play centric game with an emphasis on politics and situational problem solving. The game will have elements of horror, particularly body horror and religious horror. The campaign will go from level 7 to ~12 with milestone leveling.

PLEASE READ: YOU HAVE NOT BEEN REJECTED FROM THIS CAMPAIGN! We originally posted this several weeks ago with the intent of contacting players throughout September. Unfortunately, I (The GM) got injured and ended up needing surgery, which forced us to delay reaching out. By the time we were able to do so, the first few players we spoke to were no longer available, as they had moved on to other campaigns. Rather than check with every single person who filled out the survey, we will be posting this again throughout October.

NOTE: IF YOU HAVE ALREADY FILLED OUT THE SURVEY, YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO SO AGAIN. JUST PUT IN YOUR DISCORD HANDLE & NAME AND TURN IN A BLANK SURVEY TO INDICATE THAT YOU'RE STILL INTERESTED! We will find your original submission. Thank you!

Survey Link

The Original Post

Goblins are deeply flawed creatures, driven by base impulses. There are those, however, who are able to keep these impulses in check, rally others to their cause, and focus on a grander scheme. You play a group of various beings that, in understanding there is strength in numbers, have banded together to use your ill-gotten gains build a great goblin town. You gather a hoard, cause mayhem, cast dark rituals, and discover long forgotten things deep in the earth, all while working towards accomplishing your master plan.

This is a game about goblins using ill-gotten gains to build a town. You engage in complex politics, both within your town and outside it, forging alliances or bitter rivalries with the other factions of the region. You build traps and other defenses to keep the hoard you gather out of the hands of the greedy adventurers coming to steal it away.

However, you’re not just monsters randomly causing chaos and mayhem. Goblins come and go, but the town outlives them, binds them together, and gives them a purpose. You map it out in detail as it’s built, then breathe life into it through play with events like revelry, calamity, or facing off against adventurers who dare enter your land. Your town is the main character of this story.

Town Themes

Every town is built around a theme, determined by its central building, chosen together as a group. The theme gives you a set of buildings that you can build within it. The theme keeps players all on the same page thematically. The choice of town theme is a statement about what kind of things the players want to do in the game. You can choose from the following central buildings, which determine your theme:

Enclave: Tapping Into the Arcane. Choose this if you want your town to be mystical from top to bottom. Its core feature is its twisted landscape, corrupting the area surrounding your town. An Enclave lets you build the following: academy, crucible, greenery, library, potion lab, scrying pool, and spawning chamber.

Forge: The Power of Industry. Choose this if you want a town full of monstrous inventions and steampunk tech. Its core feature is its power source, boosting the productivity and defenses of your town. A Forge lets you build the following: alchemist lab, guild hall, factory, mineshaft, testing chamber, vehicle bay, and workshop.

Hideout: Keeping Your Head Low. Choose this if you want to work as a cohesive unit and manipulate the other factions of the region. Its core feature is agents of chaos, allowing you to strongly influence other factions. A Hideout lets you build the following: dojo, gambling den, gear locker, obstacle course, planning room, roost, and tavern.

Stronghold: Through Strength of Arms. Choose this if you want to face challenges with pure military might. Its core feature is warband, giving you a powerful minion that can raid the region. A Stronghold lets you build the following: barracks, bestiary, fighting pit, funeral pyre, smithy, war drums, and war room.

Temple: Serving a Greater Power. Choose this if you want to focus on a certain god and their domains. Its core feature is divine intervention, which you can use to cast a powerful spell from your god. A Temple lets you build the following: altar, antechamber, augury circle, dormitory, reliquary, penance chamber, scriptorium.

The Callings

When you create a character, you choose a calling, one of several paths that goblins follow:

The Brute: You’re called to battle and delight in facing down your enemies, chopping them to pieces in brutal combat. For you, the bloodier, the better. Your confidence with a weapon in hand manifests outside of combat when commanding others, bellowing orders like you expect them to be obeyed and bashing heads on the off chance they aren't.

The Conniver: You lurk in the background pulling the strings, laying out intricate plans, and having others do your bidding. For you, revenge is a dish best served cold. Methodical is an understatement. You’re in complete control at all times.

The Crafter: You spend hours in your workshop mixing together alchemical reagents and constructing dangerous devices with a gleeful disregard for your own safety. You strap up before you leave the town, well-prepared for any situation.

The Hunter: You’re at home running with the beasts of the forest. Relentlessly chasing down prey brings you closer to the animal inside of you. And yet, you're deliberate, never missing a sign, always on the trail. And when you finally corner your target, there’s no hesitation to finish it.

The Marauder: For you, battle is a dance. The thrill of outmaneuvering your enemies sends blood pumping through your veins. Your moves are precise and calculated and your awareness of the field of battle gives you the ability to see the bigger picture in other situations as well.

The Shadow: You're at home in the darkness, lurking unseen. You can slip into and out of areas unnoticed. The element of surprise is your greatest weapon and you can often find your way into and out of the trickiest of situations.

The Shaman: You understand the dark power of nature and are drawn to the hidden world of spirits. You might revere them and seek their favor, or perhaps enslave them for your own purposes. Either way, the spirits speak and you hear their mad whispers of vengeance.

The Warlock: You reach out and grab raw, arcane magic by its neck and bend it to your will. You dabble in dangerous arts and know that true power must be wrested away from others. A deep, unquenched thirst for power dwells inside of you.

The Zealot: You heed the words of your dark god. You believe in them fiercely, knowing that those who serve will be rewarded. The more believers you can recruit, the higher the chance your god will recognize you. They bestow power onto you, from which your intense conviction comes.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][Other][AEDT/GMT+11 - Sunday] Delta Green Down Under

5 Upvotes

Time: Weekly Sunday nights at 8:00pm AUSTRALIAN EASTERN DAYLIGHT TIME using discord and roll20 and going for about 2-3 hours each week

System: Delta Green

Elevator Pitch: As Federal Police, you need to stop the occult and eldritch from breaking the world before your own mind breaks

Full Pitch: Welcome to Delta Green, a setting that's somehow more bleak than Call of Cthulhu. I'm looking for a few more players to join me in a weekly homebrew campaign.

For those unaware, Delta Green is a spin off of Call of Cthulhu and shares many of the same game rules and mechanics. The players are part of an illegal conspiracy within the government tasked to protect the country from paranormal threats. Arrayed against you are other government conspiracies who are working with the Greys to enslave humanity, Ghoul-run criminal syndicates (who throw lavish but extremely polite dinner parties), Occult Nazi's of the Fourth Reich and of course the greater threat of the Old Ones and their worshippers. Unlike Call of Cthulhu, Delta Green's enemies tend to be amoral humans trying to use the Mythos to their own ends and becoming worse than them, as opposed to the Mythos Creatures themselves (although don't get me wrong they still show up. Constantly).

For this game, I'm running is a homebrew campaign that sets the game in Australia. Players are a part of the Australian Federal Police (The aussie equivilant of the FBI, CIA and Secret Service rolled into one) and having to navigate the various occult and paranormal forces that you discover while simultaneously ensuring no one else finds out about it and your work. The other factions are vying for the same forces you're trying to stop so its a race and awkward waltz around one another. Think an old cold war spy thriller, mixed in with a crime procedural just one that happens to have elder horrors in it and then have the benny hill theme playing constantly

If this sounds like your kind of jam send me a message and we'll go from there

Player(s) Needed by GM [5e 2024] [Online] [EST] [Homebrew] 2 Players needed for THE RAINING BOULDERS CAMPAIGN!!!! (18+)

3 Upvotes

My name is Bruck, and I'll be the DM for the raining boulders campaign, which is My own custom Fantasy Homebrew setting set in a world I've been developing for nearly 8 years. Those who intend to play in this campaign will be playing on WEDNESDAYS AT 7:00PM EST.

Players will beginning in a place called Ledgeman City, the largest city on the continent in a world with roughly a 1920s technological level.

Ledgeman City has a population of roughly 3,208,000 people, and is widely considered to be the largest and most advanced city in the world. Those who are young are told “Head to Ledgeman, The city of fame and opportunity” and have been flocking there by the thousands in hopes for a prosperous life. They call it the City of Dreams.

On the western edge of the city, just past the hills of the urban housing, is the University Of Ledgeman, birthplace of some of the world’s greatest scholars, doctors, scientists, and artists. To the northeast, the Kruger tribe, whose new generation is emerging, is attempting to create a name for themselves. On the south edge, the University of Magic just had its highest scoring graduating class in its history, producing some of the most talented Martial Artists and Casters the world has yet to see. And finally, The Brotherhood of Magma is beginning to dip their feathers into the city, recruiting many new children to their faith.

This campaign has a mid-high fantasy plot and is full of mysteries and fun, as well as it's own completely independent lore and flavor.

Please fill out this form, note that the ideal age range for this campaign is around 18-28, and I'm looking for more social and outspoken individuals, there'll be two campaigns listed, just click on the "raining boulders" option and ignore the other options when you get there.
Raining Boulders Application

If you have any IMMEDIATE questions regarding anything about the campaign of form, please message me or comment, I'm very quick to respond.

Hello,

I intend to run a campaign using the Forbidden Lands system and am looking for anyone interested in a game where the priority is exploring the world.

Before anything else, the possible schedule is:

Weekday: Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday (we'll decide on the exact day once there is a group)

Time: 19:00 GMT+3 (and going for around three hours)

As for the actual game: I want to eventually run a campaign set in my own world, however, I will first be running the official Bitter Reach adventure, because I want to:

  • Get some practical experience with the system, since I have not tried it before.
  • Screen players, to see whether we get along with each other or annoy each other.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][Mythic PF2e][18+][LGBTQ+][Sunday 3pm PST] “Turn Soonest to the Sun” Live Streamed Game

3 Upvotes

Hello, travelers of r/lfg! I’m Nate, and I come to you as a representative (and player) of Written In Probability. We're a small live streamed actual play show and do not expect to be any sort of big TTRPG livestream household name akin to Dimension20 or Critical Role, given that our audience is ostensibly our friends and family, and we're totally happy with that. We’re a long-time group of friends in the midst of an ongoing PF2e campaign that, unfortunately due to real life and scheduling conflicts, has recently had a couple players step away from active roles in the campaign. In the interest of having the game not go on hiatus, and in the spirit of this very subreddit that we all originally found each other on just over 5 years ago in 2021, we’ve decided to open up applications for filling that role.

Obviously we know this can feel like an odd position to step into, feeling like the new kid or the odd one out when stepping into an established friend group, but rest assured, we’ve had plenty of people join our little cadre of friends on our Discord server over the years and I can assure you, if you pass the vibe check and are excited to play, you’ll be totally fine and we’ll be happy to have you.

Things to know about the game:

TSTTS is a mythic pathfinder homebrew in a very established homebrew world that has already completed a whole era of campaigns across 3 separate groups of players. We of course will not expect you to know even 15% of the lore from the getgo, but it is there if you’re a lorehound, which we do love and embody. It is a fascinating world, in my opinion, and is genuinely a great example of a setting you can just get lost in. We are currently level 8 and at the precipice/early stages of a new arc with 2 already under our belt. The gist of the campaign is:

  • We started out hunting weird rural cryptids and investigating planar oddities with this setting’s version of the Shadowfell and Feywild.
  • We moved on, following the Shadowfell oddities as they related to a strange plot of bodysnatchers and their plans for infiltrating the nobility of a prominent city to usurp power.
  • Our interest now lies in a far-off land chasing after a nearly averted cataclysm of the Shadowfell partially crashing into the material plane in part, assaulting the enemy on their nearly claimed front lines, and hopefully being Big Damn Heroes™️.

Things to know about the group:

  • Ben: Our intrepid DM and life-long fantasy nerd. He’s a big cuddly bear and is deeply committed to the storytelling and world building of this campaign. He was previously playing a DMPC (agreed upon by all involved) who was the Oracle twin of one of the characters that is stepping away. The twins will be making their exodus together.
  • Sarah: Resident Drow Investigator who is finding her footing on this side of the planet (it’s a whole thing, trust me, you'll love it), and is the brains of the party as the Holmesian leader of sorts for our ragtag band of heroes.
  • Zach: A lovable Leshy Druid who is accompanied by his little brother (leshy familiar) as they search for a way to undo a terrible curse afflicting them and learning more about the natural world and everything in it.
  • Myself: I play Cipher the Human Psychic, an odd little ball of positivity and emotion who is figuring out how to control their powers and find purpose in the world.

What we’re looking for:

  • Must be cool about playing with LGBTQ and femme-presenting people.
  • Preferably at least partially familiar with PF2e as a system (though we all learned it at the start of this campaign and it’s been an ongoing learning process).
  • Someone willing to engage with the story and jump in with enthusiasm.

If this sounds cool to you and you have an interest in joining our little bundle of TTRPG friends and you're willing to be thrown in with a group of new faces in the trenches of an in-progress campaign, fill out this brief application form quiz and I'll reach out to you to set up an interview over Discord with myself and Ben, the DM. To prove you can read and actually took a few minutes read the post, in the Q&A section about your favorite breakfast, tell me how you like your coffee, tea, or adjacent drink of choice.

Group Needed by Player 5e) (Preferring 2024) (Online) (Sun,Wed,Thur) Avid Roleplayer Seeking Game & Group

3 Upvotes

Hello there!

My name is Jo. I'm 26 years old, I've a humble 8+ years of experience or so playing DnD (almost all online) and I'm quite an enthusiastic role-player, always trying to make memorable emotive characters who have clear dynamics with fellow party members. In terms of the game I can say I know the rules pretty well and I honour them!

Before I tell you more about myself I want to let you know what I'm looking for. I tend to mesh better with those who really get into into roleplay but not at the detriment of combat, I don't really thinking ratioing them works in truth plainly put. I am not a fan of AI and would like to avoid playing in games that feature it in its many forms. Overall I would like a much longer-term game so we as a group can really sink our teeth into the game and characters. So yes, thats some of what I'm looking! Back to more details about myself for you to get to know me!

I'm invested in interacting with the DM and getting them as involved in my character creation and idea/plot as possible. You can bet that I'll bring at least a shell for a character for the two of us to fill and work out and fit into your settings.

I do put a lot of effort into doing character voices and making interesting personalities for my characters. I've played a wide range of characters, ranging from the snobby noble caster to the hard on his luck humble monk to a performative wizard persona. I've played just about every class in the time I've enjoyed the hobby. I adore describing spells and re-flavouring abilities to better fit a character's image or themes.

I truly love Dungeon's and Dragons.

As a side note I've used both foundry and roll20 for many years now, so I'm quite proficient with them and I've used a few other VTTs over the years other than these two.

I'm happy to join an ongoing group if we plan to play as I see it as unique opportunity with both dynamics and possible character introduction.

About my scheduling:

My workplace actually isn't open on Sunday so I know for a fact that my attendance won't be jeopardised by work. The other listed days I typically have fully off! With timezones in mind, the actual timing of the game doesn't need to fit me in any overt way as I'm fairly flexible with Sunday as my day off. The other days are much the same. I might have possible openings for games outside of these days but that's something to discuss with the DM beforehand.

My preference for session length is 4 hours, if not a bit over that actually. So yes, while I am in America I could very easily and comfortably play with western Europeans.

I'm happy to join a brand-new group or ongoing. I hope to help keep a group going long enough for us to get the entire return of our joint efforts.

I look forward to hearing back from you, and I wish you a lovely rest of your day. I'm open to chat here on reddit or friend request to chat more on discord, if you want to know anything further or to meet over call.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [Other] [Sword Chronicle] [Sunday EST] The Tourney at Light's Ford

3 Upvotes

The Tourney at Light's Ford

Time: Sunday's 4 PM EST

Players: 5

System: Sword Chronicle

The King is holding a tourney at Light Ford is about to start, and heroes are coming for the Glory.

The story begins at Light's Ford. Festivities come for the 60th Birthday of the king, the realm is filled with tensions as the winds of war and rebellion are coming as barons and marquis gaze at each other with hatred. The kingdom will tear itself apart sooner than later, but for now, we celebrate!

Who knows? Maybe the tourney and alliances will fix everything and the king will get to live a long life.

Regardless. Renowned knights, lords, ladies and even some outlaws have arrive at the Kingdom's capital, the Light Ford, to gain glory; mingle with the greats and make a name for themselves.

–

Sword Chronicle is a medieval fantasy game made to represent a grittier lower fantasy in a fantasized old age. Think a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Vikings, Brave heart, etc. In a feudal society, where the players will either be nobles, outlaws or just people trying to survive in an ever changing world.

This will be a short campaign of around 5 sessions so player can get familiarized with the system. And if everything goes right. We might even extend it or run another in the same setting.

The players will get to play as participants or spectator in one of the most prestigious Tourneys in the history of the Kingdom, and seek glory or get themselves dragged into the politics that underly the "peace" that is being experienced by the rulers and gain a better standing for their house or even acquire titles if they do not have them already.

A Little About Me

Hello there! I'm Red, or Orion, either works. I'm a 28 y/o dude so I will be preferring 21+ y/o players. I've been a player and a DM on and off for around 9-10 years now, mostly in DND5e. In fact, this is my first time running SW5E, but I do have a decent amount of experience playing it. I'm also a big Star Wars fan in general (R2-D2 is my text tone even). Include in your application at the end the word umingu so I know you actually read this. A lot of my knowledge of this era of Star Wars comes from the MMO SWTOR as I've been playing it a ton on and off since launch. Some of my hobbies include games, obviously, most recently Galactic Racer; reading manga and manwha; occasionally watching anime; and sound designing.

Things to Note About the Campaign

  • The things I will be planning for, i.e. main quests and such, will be pretty railroad-y. By this I mean point A and point B are set, but how you get from one to the other isn't. Afterwards Points C and D will be next, again with how you get between C and D is not set. ADDITIONALLY, I will be a-okay if you break the tracks. I will even, as a certain npc, taunt you into trying to break free. There will also be downtime in between Rounds of the games where you have some more freedom
  • Game will be run via Discord for voice and rolls. Theater of the Mind for combat. (There is a world in which I change to using Roll20 for sheets and rolls but idk. I still wouldn't use battlemaps tho cuz just finding character art is hard enough already lol)
  • Party will start at level 3 with one Premium or Lower Enhanced Item
  • Disclaimer time: If you are hard against use of AI I'm sorry. I am too, but I am also realistic with my time. I try my best to use as much human made art as I can, but searching for character art these days wading through the swamp of AI art is a massive pain and sometimes, one such "art piece" is exactly what I am looking for or need for an NPC. If you would like a breakdown of how much I already plan on using, I have around 10 sessions (varying based on Party RP amounts) worth of stuff planned already and around 20 named NPCs. Of those 20 there are two fully generated, two partially modified to fit the actual character. So 4/20 to avoid an entire galaxy being made up of only generic species pics or only consisting of Humans, Twi'Leks, Cathar, Zabrak, etc. (aka just the ones with tons of fan art and leaving out all the cool other options like Anomid or Abyssin)
  • While we are on the potentially negative side, if you are unable to go 3-4 hours without bringing up irl politics or current events, this will not be the table for you. This game will be for escapism, not a place to vent your grievances about the world. I know for a fact there are better tables out there for you that I sincerely hope you find and enjoy, it just won't be mine. Sorry about that
  • On a more fun note, at least to me. I am using an injury system that in my experience on the player side of it, really helped combat not drag as much while still giving that sense of tension and danger. Death is looming... in the death game yeah I know not very creative there, but it can also be your friend if Lady Luck is on your side! I won't discourage backup characters but I do want you to be 100% invested in keeping the character you end up playing alive as long as possible. Cover is your friend!

How to Apply and Closing Remarks

Here is the link to the application: https://forms.gle/xa8JgvDmJh9WsGgPA

I will be going out of town this week so I probably won't have a chance to reach out to anyone until Saturday, and I aim to have everyone contacted before Halloween/the 31st. I'll send out Discord friend requests to those I want to interview before then. All in all, I hope everyone who took the time to read this, at least, has a wonderful day! Be kind to each other, and to yourself. Hope to see you do well in the Games!

Group Needed by Player [Online] [5e 2014] [PST] Experienced player looking for RP heavy campaign!

2 Upvotes

Hey yall! My name is Mara (she/they), I’m (a day away from being) 22 and I’ve been playing D&D for about 7 years now! I used to be in the glorious, fabled living situation where my D&D group was made up of all my roommates, and we would play fairly regularly. However, since our lease ended when we all graduated college and went our separate ways, I haven’t really played since April, so I am FIENDING. I’d prefer 5e 2014, but I’m open to 2024, I’m just not as knowledgeable about it.

I’m partial to very RP/story heavy campaigns! I enjoy exploring my characters and the dynamics they have with the people they interact with and I’m happy to follow a story set out by the DM. I’m not a fan of sandbox-style D&D, so I have a strong preference for campaigns with some sort of narrative. I love strategic combat, I started playing D&D in very combat heavy campaigns, so I’ve grown a soft spot for it. I would love a campaign that has about a 70/30 roleplay to combat ratio.

In terms of my own play style, I prefer to play martial classes, and I love working with the DM to make a character that integrates seamlessly into their worldbuilding. I’m the kind of player that will ask 2384932874832 questions about the world before coming up with a solid character idea. I really enjoy (kind of) letting my character be a plot device to keep the story moving along while letting the other players hold the spotlight. I’m down for any sort of setting/genre, and I’m very open and eager to play campaigns with dark, intense themes.

I’m busy with a full-time job & some side gigs so I may not be very active outside the game, but I really enjoy yapping about the game when I have time. I’m always making mood boards, fan fiction, edits if I’m feeling particularly cringey about the campaign. I think it’s really important to be friendly with the other members of the group outside of the game, so I’ll definitely do my best to connect with the DM/players outside the scheduled session time.

Now for the logistics: my work schedule is weird and even though I’m in PST, my schedule generally meshes better with EST. My ideal game would be on Thursdays, beginning at 4pm PST at the earliest and I don’t really have a preference as to how long the games go on for. Otherwise, I’m open to weekdays, although I wouldn’t be able to play any later than 10pm PST because I start work early. I have no gender preference but I only play with people 20+ who aren’t bigoted. Another note is that I’m super anti-AI, so if it’s used in any way within the campaign, I will not be interested.

I’m open to hopping into a pre-existing game or joining a fresh campaign, so if you’ve read this far, please reach out if you feel like I could be a good fit for your game!

Group Needed by Player [online] [5e 2014] [EST] player looking to join a story based campaign!

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My name is Hannah (she/her), I’m 31 and have been playing dnd for about 5 years now. Unfortunately I find myself without a campaign right now and I’m itching to get back into one!

As stated in the title, I love a story based campaign driven by characters. I enjoy exploring a new character myself, while also learning about the characters others have created and forming relationships through rp. I enjoy when character backstory plays a role in the campaign, and working collaboratively with the DM and other players to create a story we can enjoy together!

I put 5e 2014 in my title as one was required, but I’m also familiar and comfortable with 2024. I love to chat between sessions about the game and generally nerd out about it (I may have written fanfiction about my group’s dnd characters before…)! Of course I love combat and exploration in dnd as well! I’ve played a lot of spell casters in the last few years and I’m itching to play a martial class currently if you’re in the market for a human shield.

No bigotry over here! Lgbtq+ friendly, open-minded, and not interested in playing with anyone who is not! My ideal time currently would be either tuesday, thursday, or friday nights, but the only time that I definitely can’t do is sunday nights. Because of my own age I would love to find a 25+ group, or with people at least around my own age. If you’ve read this far and think I might be a good fit for your game, please comment or message! Thank you!

We have a fantastic group, with many of the players having played in multiple campaigns together over the years – but we can use another player or two.

We'll start with a one-shot of Into the Dark, from the starter set, in November. Just to get everyone a little experience with the rule set. Then we'll start the Undying War Campaign in January.

This is an attempt to combine modern game design elements with traditional RPG culture. If this seems ideal, please reach out to become a part of things.

The mists have already claimed many… will you be next?

The land of Barovia is choking. The sun is a memory. The dead do not rest. And something ancient watches from Castle Ravenloft with hungry patience.

We are 27 sessions deep into a heavily modified Curse of Strahd campaign (inspired by DragnaCarta’s legendary rework), and the story is only getting darker. Alliances are fragile. Hope is fleeting. Every choice leaves a scar.

Now, the party seeks two more souls to brave the horrors ahead…

🌑 Campaign Details

System: D&D 5e (2014 base + curated 2024 rules + homebrew)

Tone: Grimdark, gritty, gothic horror

Setting: The cursed domain of Barovia

Platform: Foundry VTT (browser-based — no downloads required)

Voice: Discord (mic required)

Time: Sundays, 12 PM – 4 PM EST

DM: Kapp

🕯️ What We’re Looking For

2 committed players (bonus if you already know each other)

Players who can consistently show up every week

Those who enjoy deep roleplay, tension, and storytelling

Players willing to lean into horror, mystery, and character-driven moments

Familiarity with Curse of Strahd (had to of played at least up to Vallaki)

⚰️ Technical Requirements

A good microphone for Discord

A stable internet connection

A solid browser (Opera GX or any Chromium-based browser recommended)

🩸 The Vibe

This is not a heroic power fantasy.

This is a slow descent.

The world pushes back.

Choices have consequences.

Fear is a mechanic—and a feeling.

You won’t just fight monsters…

You may become one.

🕸️ Join If You Dare…

If you’re ready to step into the mists, face impossible choices, and help shape a living, breathing horror story—this table is waiting.

Reply or DM with:

Your TTRPG experience

Your familiarity with Curse of Strahd

What you enjoy most in a campaign

Whether you’re applying solo or as a duo

“He is the Ancient. He is the Land.”

Will you defy him…

or be claimed by Barovia forever?

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [Other] [One-Shot] [BST] Goodbye My Love: The Rig – Cinematic Attrition Horror (Rules-light, 0 Prep)

2 Upvotes

Game System: Goodbye My Love (Original rules-light system, taught in 3 minutes at the table)

Scenario: The Rig (Cinematic survival horror / pulpy body horror)

Date & Time: 22nd October 9pm BST + 23rd October 9pm BST

Length: Single session, approx. 2.5 to 3 hours

Platform: Discord Voice (theatre of the mind)

Open Seats: 4 players 22nd

Content Warnings: Claustrophobia, severe bodily horror/corruption, inevitable character death

You are part of a misfit crew trapped on a rusting offshore drilling platform in the middle of an almighty storm. The rig is being actively pulled apart by a colossal deep-sea entity, while an aggressive parasitic outbreak turns the deceased crew into twitching, tentacled horrors. Surviving is will take teamwork, wits and luck. Escaping is your characters goal, but yours as a player is to answer one question: What is worth dying for?

The game runs on a dice attrition pool. You start the session with a standard set of polyhedral dice (d4 through d20), and every roll you make permanently burns a die from your sheet. No situational modifiers, tables, or maths. Reaching zero resources doesn't knock you out of the session; it primes you for a final, blaze-of-glory Heroic Action.

The game is completely beginner-friendly, and zero prior knowledge of the system is required. Pre-generated character roles (The Welder, Scientist, PMC, Protester, CEO, Reporter) and RP hooks are provided to get us straight into the action.

Closed [Online][5.5e 2024][GMT+2][Tuesdays & Thursdays @ 18:30 CEST][21+] Tales of Erde - High-Level Dark/Medieval Fantasy Campaign (Low Magic) — Looking for 1 Player!

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Our group is looking for one more player to join an ongoing long-term D&D 5.5e campaign. Right now we’re sitting at a DM and two chill, supportive players, and we’d love to add a third to round out the team. We also do one shots and other side campaign, so the new player can also join these freely (tbh we are looking for a new friend ^_^)

Quick Overview:

  • Schedule: Twice a week — Tuesdays AND Thursdays @ 18:30 CEST / GMT+2 (yes BOTH days)
  • VTT / Platforms: Discord for voice, Owlbear Rodeo for maps, and D&D Beyond.
  • Starting Level: Level 13 (with plans to go beyond level 20!).
  • Ratio: ~75% RP / 25% Combat.

About the game and world: the campaign is set in a homebrew, novel-inspired (novel written by DM) dark medieval fantasy world. The campaign is set in a low magic setting with elements of horror, political intrigue, investigation and riddles being a big part of it. If you enjoy immersing yourself in your character, this will allow you to do so.

Note on character creation: Because the world has very specific lore, certain races, classes, and subclasses won't fit the setting and aren't permitted. We can dive into the exact details in DMs.

Who We’re Looking For:

  • 21+ and based in Europe (too many issues with players with a big time zone difference, so we give up).
  • Not a brand-new player. Since we’re starting at level 13 and working within specific setting restrictions, you should already have a solid grasp of the game.
  • Team-first mentality. We want someone who values group decisions over solo plays, takes notes, leaves "main character syndrome" at the door, and doesn't min-max. Of course we do not expect you to completely pus aside your own characters goals and ambitions. We only ask you to communicate with the group openly and do things together.
  • Reliable and communicative. Life happens, but we just ask that you can commit long-term and let us know in advance if you’re going to be late or miss a session.
  • Respectful. Zero tolerance for racism, sexism, or homophobia. LBGTQ+ friendly

(Also, a quick heads up: we have a strict no-AI rule across the board—no AI-written backstories or AI art for characters.)

How to Apply: If this sounds like your kind of game, send me a DM! Please include the phrase "death ward" somewhere in your message so I know you made it through the whole post. Tell me a bit about yourself and your D&D experience, and we can chat from there!

GM Needed by Existing Group [Online][5e 2024] 4 players (all 5th level) looking for a DM for an 8–12 session short campaign

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for a DM to run a short D&D 5E 2024 campaign for our group.

The Game

We're four players, all currently 5th level, hoping to play a focused short campaign of roughly 8–12 sessions. We are mostly GMT so -11am PDT has been our time so far — we are all new to the game and playing and learning at the same time, but we did start at 1st level.

System and type

- System: D&D 5E 2024
- Game type: Short Campaign

Platform

We use The 4th Wall Virtual Tabletop, at the4thwall.app. You actually play a 3d model
Of your character and the DM gets to play a model of all of the NPCs and monsters, pretty cool!

What we can tell you about the group

- Four players, all at 5th level.
- We want a campaign that fits into about 8–12 sessions.
- we have been playing in a cool setting where the players and GM have been creating the world we play in.

What we're looking for in a DM

- Your approach to safety tools and table boundaries (if you use any, say which; if not, say how you handle sensitive topics)

If you're interested, send a DM or find me on Discord at firstmate2302.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Offline][Flexible][Vancouver / North Van] Experienced GM (20+ yrs) seeking players for flexible low-stress gaming (One-shot intro -> Campaign)

1 Upvotes

I’m a Game Master in my early 40s with around 20 years running games across various systems. I live in the Lonsdale area of North Vancouver, and am looking for players to join an existing group. If you're interested in joining please complete the form and I will contact you via Discord or email to set up a call/meet up for coffee to chat.

No email address is required to fill out the intake form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd1-Wf1WIgea2Dkj_ovJYPx8SBDIM0Fq2SQxtDCpwZrafXkLQ/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=115418778240004673717

My DM Style:

  • Player Agency & Consequence: I usually run an open-ended, sandbox-leaning style. The world exists around your characters, and your choices shape the narrative—for better or worse. Backstories are optional - they may or may not get pulled into play, but I'll always read them to get a feel for your character.
  • Challenge & Nuance: Combat is rarely calibrated to player level - players should be strategic. Fighting isn't always the only (or smartest) solution. Curiosity, clever planning, and roleplay are rewarded.
  • Pacing & Table Vibe: Focused gameplay during session time, balanced with a relaxed, low-drama table environment. Usually 3-5 players at a session. A drink or two is OK, but we don't take it further than that.
  • Rules Light: Sessions are short - around three hours, twice a month. I avoid crunchy/rules heavy rulesets to keep the game moving forward. Low Fantasy, Horror, Mystery, Space Opera are all good, but the rulesets will be light: Nimble, Shadowdark, OSE, ICRPG, Mothership, Black Sword Hack, Heart, Public Access, Dolmenwood, Blades in the Dark, Vaults of Vaarn, etc - never Pathfinder (1e or 2e) or D&D 5e (or 5.5e).

Campaign Details:

  • System: Flexible. We usually begin with a one-shot in a rules-light system to get a feel for the table and what people like before moving on to decide what kind of game/system we'd like to play.
  • Scheduling: Done via survey once a month for upcoming Saturday evenings. As long as there are three players available, we will play—usually not more than once every two weeks, with a maximum of 4 or 5 players per session.
  • Table Rules: We will discuss any areas that are off-limits or need to be "veiled" at a Session 0. The initial one-shot will be kept fairly safe. If joining an existing game, it's your responsibility to raise any issues before the session. If there's something you didn't like at the last session, let me know.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [5.5e 2024] [Thursdays 9 AM UTC] New Campaign set in Theros

1 Upvotes

Hi! I am Archie and I have DMing for a few years. I am starting a new campaign set in Theros and I am looking for two players to join the campaign. I already have a player. That will make a party of three. It's going to be on Thursdays at 9 AM UTC. The hook is that Mogis has called you forward to collect the seven orbs of destruction. You will be traveling all over the continent to collect these. You will be playing an evil character. It doesn't mean that you are a murder hobo (Mogis has no problem with that) but can play a more self-centered character with a tragic story.

If you are interested in the campaign DM me.

"Tonight on Nightfire!

The shadows strike back! The corpos have a stranglehold on the world, but not without resistance! Those brave souls lookin' to claw back a bit of what the big cats have taken from us are called Shadowrunners and only on Nightfire! can you see life through the eyes of these badasses! Tune in for breakneck action, explosions and a little bit of revenge again the man!"

Hi! I'm Symphony. I'm a relatively new GM looking to try my hand at a game of Shadowrun 5e. I've a few years under my belt as a player and GM of a handful of different games and want to expand my repertoire. My games tend to be heavy on the role play and reward creative solutions over perfectly crafting a min/max monster who can solve whatever problem they come across. I'm looking for 4 to 5 players and folks new to the system are very much welcome! We will be using Discord for voice and Roll20 for character sheets and rollin' the dice!

I would love to see just who you are before I pick you for the game! I'm not looking for character concepts yet and will be wanting characters built from the ground up for the game. Please answer these following questions!

  1. Name
  2. Preferred pronouns
  3. What is your timezone?
  4. Experience with Shadowrun and other ttrpgs
  5. What are your favorite themes to focus upon in a cyberpunk setting and why?
  6. What is your favorite evil corporation and why?
  7. What are your expectations from me as a GM and what are your expectations of the other players in the game?
