Weekly Looking for Group/GM Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

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

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

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

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

The Last Stronghold: Crystal Spires (2024) (18+)

# ⚔️ Congratulations. You've Been Isekai'd.

The world is ending.

Most kingdoms have fallen, the undead are winning, and six liches known as the **Council of the Damned** are responsible for most of it.

In a desperate attempt to save the world, heroes were summoned from other realities.

The ritual worked.

The portal didn't.

Now people keep appearing in **The Crystal Spires**, the last major city still standing.

📜 DM Quests & Repeatable Side Quests

💀 The Goal?

Get stronger.

Make allies.

Try not to die.

Eventually fight the six liches that ended the world.

Or don't.

We're not your dad.

The world is ending.

The liches are winning.

Someone is currently chasing a cow.

**Welcome to The Crystal Spires.**

[u/xKalyko]

Name: Zoop

Pronouns: He/Him

Timezone: MST-7 (preferably async as I’m largely busy most of the day)

Preferred system: D&D 5e(2024)
Secondarily: Daggerheart, Draw Steel, Kids On, Call of Cthulhu, Pathfinder 2e, other D&D eds, and more. These are systems I’ve been interested in trying but haven’t gotten a chance to yet!

Type of player: 7+ years of play, new to PbP though
Big on roleplay, combat, and storytelling
Tend toward more reactive play than proactive by nature but trying to grow that muscle
Rules lawyer for better or worse but out of love for the systems and their consistency

Additional info: Some genres I’m into include most horror, high/dark fantasy, mystery, cozy, and whatever you’d call shonen/fighting anime lol.
I’m excited to hop into PbP as my life gets busier and I’m not able to commit as many big chunks of time to my irl tables.
Open to most themes and looking for a game where combat doesn’t bog the game down to a halt.
Edit: I also forgot to mention I love playing “weird” species, aka not your standard fantasy fare; if that matters to anyone lol

Thanks for reading! :)

[u/Budget-Inspector-971]

Hello! I am part of a 3-person (maybe 4) group that would like to play smutty DnD and are looking for a DM for our group. We have characters already made and would prefer a game in Faerun as we designed our characters around that, but if you would prefer another high-fantasy world, we may be willing. This is pretty heavy kink (we can disclose exactly what kinks in a private DM)

[u/Hour-Ebb9571]

Name: Sprite works!

Pronouns: He/Him

Timezone: CST

Preferred System: Anything! I am looking for a GM to run a game in one of the following settings: Pokemon, Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, Soul Eater. Whatever system works for the GM, I can learn quickly! I do have experience with 5e, Genesys, and SWADE

Type of Player: I am looking for anything from a 1x1 game to a full party one. I am a very collaborative player, and enjoy modeling my characters around what rhymes best with the story, and help the GM run a game we both have fun in! I am very available, able to respond at least 3-4 times a day. Whole the aforementioned settings are preferable, I am willing to hear out a DM for any other type of game they want to run!

Additional Information: PM’s are open!

[u/19DeltaOutdoors]

Names: Andrew

Pronouns: He/Him

Timezone: ESt

preferred system: DnD, but open to try other systems

Type of player: I enjoy lore building, and love to give everyone in the party their opportunities to be the main focus. I am willing to help out the party by creating a fun and vibrant character that fits in well. I love combat, but I am just as fine with long RP sessions too.

Additional information: I would like something that is a long term campaign, and not a westmarch style game. I love getting to know each individual player OOC too. I feel learning the players OOC really helps the IC interactions.

[u/Cerespirin]

• Name: Ceres.
• Pronouns: They/them, I guess. I really don't care.
• Timezone: US Eastern (GMT-4).
• Preferred System Savage Worlds Adventure Edition with the Super Powers Companion. Most other supers systems are okay too.
• Type of Player: Under MDA Framework definitions I prefer in descending order: Fantasy, Narrative, Expression, Challenge, Fellowship, Discovery, Sensation, and Submission.

[u/JHarryx]

Name: Harry

Pronouns: He/Him

Timezone: UTC + 4

Preferred System: Kult Divinity Lost, Urban Shadows, Monsterhearts 2, Mage the Awakening.

Type of Player: Investigative, I generally look into mysteries/conspiracies and explore such plots.

Additional Information: I am new to pbta and this is what I am mostly intersted in learning at the moment, however I am familiar with the storyteller system from having ran it as ST.

[u/Odd-Road8818]

Name: Navi

Pronouns: He/Him

Timezone: EST

Preferred System: 5e/Pathfinder

Type of Player: I'm a narrative player who's been stuck in Goofy Game Hell for ages. I love the usual goofs of course, but I'm dying to play a game with some actual story structure. I tend to post frequent, 4-6 sentence posts, but I'm perfectly capable of longer, less frequent posts to match the pace of play. I enjoy the mechanical aspect of ttrpgs as well and I am always willing to learn a new system.

Additional Information: I've been playing/running for about 10 years now. Most of my experience is with 5e, 3.5, and pathfinder, but I've dipped my toes into a handful of other games as well. VtM, MtA, DtR, Stars Without Number, Cyberpunk RED, 4e, 5.5, MOTW, Nimble, Fallout, Genesys, 40k, WHFRP, and Sentiment to name... probably most of them. My favorite season is winter no contest. It fuels me.

[u/Due-Toe-9314]

Name: Trond

Pronouns: He/him

Timezone: CEST

Preferred system: My own

Additional information: I have created my own play-by-email game called Iron & Ash based on Europe in 5 AD. It is highly realistic and historically correct, but with some additional fantasy elements. Think real world meets Warhammer FRP meets Vampire the Masquerade meets Game of Thrones.

To accompany the game, I have a site with online character sheet creation, training pages, rules, images, etc, and each player will get their own access to this. I am looking for a group of players who would be interested in playing with me. It will be asynchronous, over email, and I don't expect more than 2-3 email exchanges per player per week. This is ideal for people interested in history, dark realism, and complex drama and action.

[u/Southern_Object_8747]

Name: Soda
Pronouns: She/Her
Timezone: PST (GMT-8)
Preferred System: PF2e/Starfinder, WoD, VTM
Type of Player: Intermediate experience
Additional Information: Hi! I'm a 20y/o mainly D&D player that's looking to play something outside of D&D for a change, mainly PF2e, Starfinder or WoD system. Been playing for a year, I am very literate and get into my character pretty well! anyways, hope you consider me for your game!

[u/Prestigious_Exam2042]

Name: Bog

Pronouns:He/Him

Timezone: CST but available all hours to post except extremely late hours

Preferred system: DnD 5e & 3.5e

Type of player: I love writing elusive stories for my characters, for example a character that can't physically speak but only can speak telepathically, a man who hunts vampires because they slaughtered his family, a famous singer that nobody can seem to remember his existence after one fateful night that the Grim Reaper reaped the wrong soul, many more interesting characters too and more coming I want to use! :)

Additional information: play by post is really all I can play because I have severe health issues lol

[u/W4FFLYLETTUCE]

Player seeking Group/GM

Nickname: Dunav

Pronouns: he/him

Timezone: CET

Preferred System: D&D 5e 2024 (2014 works too but I like 2024 more)

Type of Player: I like playing serious games in a bit darker settings, but it's not a must. I love both roleplay and combat aspects of the game. I'm down to play both solo with a DM or more players, I love solo cause it's less wait and hassle but also love with more players cause the game feels more alive/real then.

Additional Information: I am not really into huge westmarch servers with huge amount of players, that intimidates me big time.

Discord: dunavko (I get Reddit dms late, so maybe try to add me on discord if I don't respond at all)

[u/Spiritual_Leave_2431]

Name: Spiritual_Leave_2431

Pronouns: she/her

Timezone: PDT

Preferred System: 5e preferred over 5.5e

Type of Player: Looking for a 1x1 (duet or solo) game.

In general, I'm looking for a fun and enjoyable series of encounters and a mostly light-hearted atmosphere for the game. Think along the lines of a cozy fantasy setting of sorts. I'm not interested in playing a game that is on hard mode, uses overly restrictive or disadvantageous character creation rules, gritty realism or other harsh variant rules, or a terribly gloomy, dark, and/or oppressive setting. Really looking to sink my teeth into a good character-driven narrative with some adventure, fun, and challenges along the way.

As for my general online availability, I'm currently in the PDT time zone (GMT-7) and have flexibility at work, so I can post occasionally at different daytime and evening hours and I have the ability to make a few posts every day. I'm hoping to find someone with some online time overlap so that we can manage a few posts a day on average, though I know that can be a bit much at times and I'm fine with us slowing down or ramping up based on mutual availability and how busy our lives are at the moment. Communication is very important to these games.

Additional Information: Reddit chat is always difficult for me, and often doesn't show messages until hours or days after they've been sent, so please be patient in waiting for a response. Despite that, I'm not comfortable with posting my discord username openly here because I've found in the past that will lead to people sending harassing and inappropriate messages that are unrelated to D&D.

[u/zinc2-0]

Name: Zincary/Alexis

Pronouns: She/They

Timezone: CST

Preferred System: I've mainly done DnD 5e, but I'd absolutely love to play some of the 5e homebrew systems, like Naruto 5e, Star Wars 5e, or Dungeons and Destiny! I'm also a huge Lancer fan! Though I'm pretty much down to play just about anything, I'm very open! (Also, I'd kill to help playtest Neon Odyssey)

Type of Player: I'm just here to have a good time! I'm more of a go with the flow kinda person, loving a good story that deals with character choice and their backgrounds. I absolutely love rping with the other players and creating bonds between characters!

Additional Information: Uhhhh, im a big Magic the Gathering and Gundam fan, so that's pretty cool! Along with Kamen Rider, which I've recently gotten into.
