8 Upvotes

Hi! My name is Kayla and I'm new to DMing. I've been DMing with my current group for about 8 sessions now and things are going great, however 2 players had to drop-out due to work and school so now we have some spots to fill. Currently we are at 3 Players and are looking to be at 5 or 6 players.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [Play-by-post] [Other] Real Housewives Inspired Campaign

2 Upvotes

Welcome to the Real Housewives of Grimwich casting call!

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

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

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

System

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

Availability & Reliability

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

World building and Character Creation

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

Application

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

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

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [5e 2024+Steampunk Homebrew and flavoring][5 Players] [PBP] [Asynch] [18+] Magepunk Victorian Era Gangster family Campaign

• Upvotes

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

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

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

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

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

inspirations - Peaky Blinders, Snowfall, Arcane and dishonored

looking for 5 players
starting level 3 - aiming for 10-12th level by end game
This game will be Narrative focused but i do enjoy combat and will be mixing it into it
looking to have a few posts a day between the hours of 9:00 am - 9:00 pm EST looking to keep it pretty active
Using discord, avrae for dice

Race and classes:
Players will be Human characters with caster classes that are hard to flavor into steampunk band i.e. (no wizard, druid, warlock) with the exception of cleric which is available if you studied and is a member of the church also no paladins because the church has holy knights and they don't have the power unless directly in the church which is 24hr thing.

About me:
Been running games since the pandemic and had this idea after finishing arcane and peaky blinders and just got around to doing it i am also a digital artist

AI:
i wont be using any form of ai for the game but i do feel like i should let you know i use a grammar bot

You're evil guys but lets not over do it:
your characters are gonna be pretty bad guys while you aren't afraid of killing, scamming, taxing, beating up people ect. am not gonna touch on anything that may over do it so no pedophilia or rape or anything within that range of evil stuff

Romance:
there will be a lot of NPCS and i will not be opposed to romance with that but of course everything sexual will be fade to black.

fill out if interested

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][Mutants and Masterminds 4e] [MST] [18+] Radio City [LGBTQ+ and POC friendly]

5 Upvotes

System: Mutants & Masterminds 4e (using playtest version until the full release)

Genre: Masked Avengers, Pulp Adventure, Street Level Rebellion

Setting: The game takes place in the fictional Radio City, a modern metropolis with a history of masked heroes and dastardly villains, some of whom possessed low-level superhuman powers. This legacy of weird science adventure has led to technological advancement, the incorporation of esoteric training and thinking into the mainstream, and the consolidation of power with nation-states who happen to have especially powerful and resourceful superhumans.
Radio City is currently under the control of the megalomanic The Big Steam, an old and corrupt superbeing who has turned an imperfect but vibrant place into a dystopic, crime-ridden hellhole.

Theme: Fighting for justice in a world gone mad.

Premise: The heroes are a small but dedicated group of citizens with exceptional skills, talents, and resources who have decided to try and take Radio City back from the powers-that-be. Following the example of masked avengers of the past, they forge their own path in a modern world filled with crooked politicians, greedy billionaires, and frightening superhumans who answer to no one.

Tone: Dark but hopeful, violent but humanistic, thoughtful but fun, smart but highly improbable.

Touchstones:
Comics: All-Star Squadron (1981), Batman: Year One (1987), Daredevil, The Dark Knight Returns (1986), Hawkeye (2012), JSA (1999), JSA: The Golden Age (1995), Moon Knight, Sandman Mystery Theatre Starman (1994), The Question (1986), Tom Strong (1999), V for Vendetta (1982), The Watchmen (1987)
Movies: Batman Begins (2005), The Batman (2022), The Crow (1994), V for Vendetta (2005)
Pulps: The Avenger, Doc Savage, The Shadow, The Spider
TV: Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage

Style: RP Heavy, Rule of Cool, Shared Worldbuilding, Rules Lawyering Discouraged

When: Alternate Thursday nights after 6 PM MDT, 3 hours each session.

Platform: Discord supported by Roll20.

Looking for: Mature, reliable, creative roleplayers who like collaborative campaigns with shared investment in the characters and setting. Knowledge and enjoyment of comic book superhero stories and pulp material is a big plus. If the references in the Tone section do not interest you, you might not dig this setting much. Familiarity with M&M (any edition) not required. LGBTQ+ friendly.

Content Warnings: Rated R for Violence and Language. Some heavy themes but not exploitative (no sexual assault, no harm to children); lines and veils will be discussed. Definite left-leaning bias in the setting.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][D&D 5E, 2024] Grim Hollow: Charneault, Dark Fantasy, Knights, Fey & Fairytales [Ireland/GMT], [1 Player Needed][25+][LGBTQ+ Friendly]

2 Upvotes

Game: D&D 2024 / 5.5e, Expanded Rules, Third Party & Homebrew
Group: Online, Discord Voice Chat, Discord for everything else & D&D Beyond
Location/Timezone: Ireland, GMT

Schedule: Saturdays, Weekly at 11am to 4pm+, GMT

Players Needed: 1

Experience: New and experienced players welcome

Age: 25+

Style: Narrative, Roleplay, Dark Fantasy, Knights, Fey, Fairytales, Mystery. A balance of Exploration, Combat & Social

Themes: Glory, Heroism, Pride, Honour, Duty vs. Desire, Temptation, Excess, Lust, Obligations, Fey Bargains, Beauty & Deception, Consequences, Corruption, Nature vs. Civilisation
Levels: 2 to 9, potentially 10+

The Campaign

Set in Charneault, a land shaped by ancient pacts, knightly traditions, Fey, and old fairytales. The campaign explores the tension between Duty and Desire, and what happens when either is taken too far. Knights and the Fey are central to the setting, story, and conflicts.

The campaign begins 15 years before the main events with a short prologue using a premade Level 6 character. Afterwards, you'll create your own character at Level 2 for the main campaign, from Levels 2 to 9, potentially reaching Level 10+.

What to Expect

This is a narrative and character-focused campaign where roleplay, character arcs, and meaningful choices and consequences matter. Combat can be challenging, but the campaign isn't designed to kill characters simply for the sake of being grimdark or "edgy".

Exploration, travel, survival, and resource management are important parts of the game. Some spells, and abilities will be changed or removed to support these mechanics, while others may be removed for being overpowered, underpowered, or being tonally inconsistent. This includes certain spells, classes, subclasses, and feats.

This isn't a campaign for optimised builds, and multiclassing will not be available. However, Grim Hollow's Transformation mechanics will be available for anyone who wants to explore them. 

Mature Themes

The campaign explores mature dark-fantasy themes including sex, nudity, exploitation, abuse of power, obsession, temptation, violence, torture, death, child endangerment, and fantasy discrimination.

Sex and nudity may be part of the story, including flirting, relationships, or embarrassing situations. Everyone's boundaries around them will be discussed before play, from simply mentioning them to fading to black.

Darker themes such as violence, torture, abuse, exploitation, and fantasy discrimination may be explored to different degrees depending on everyone's comfort. Sexual violence is never treated as acceptable or played out and may only be referenced as a background element or aftermath. If something goes too far, we'll stop and discuss it.

Characters are ultimately the light in a dark world. Duty, desire, indulgence, and restraint are all part of the story, and your characters can embrace their desires, uphold their obligations, or take either too far. That freedom does not mean characters or players can behave immorally or disrespectfully without consequences. Confronting, resisting, or overcoming the darker elements of the world is ultimately part of being a hero.

Applying

Applications are completed through a Google Form questionaire. I'll review the responses and contact selected applicants through Discord for a one-on-one conversation. 

Just a heads up, I'm only looking for one player, so completing the form doesn't necessarily guarantee an interview.

Group Needed by Player [Online][5E 2014/2024][12AM GMT+1][Thursday] Experienced player looking for a new, roleplay-heavy game!

3 Upvotes

Hello!

I am looking for a new group to fill my need to play more D&D! Sadly, due to my specific work scheduling, I am unable to respond to most of the group looking for players – so I decided to post it so it may have better luck than it currently has!

Schedule

Thursday: 12AM as a start of the game

What can we offer?

  • Backstory connected to the world we are playing in – I love connecting my backstory both to other players and to the world you present to us. I also cooperate with you as a DM to give you space within our backstories while providing solid foundations.
  • “Yes, and” player – I really like to dive into titbits that you, as DM, offer. I may not always have a most courageous character, but I will not be ignoring the quests and side stories that I am given.
  • A group-focused player – I honestly love to hear other people stories and see them shine when they have a chance to do so, and I am always making sure that I share a spotlight.
  • Experienced player with a room to grow – I have few years of experience both in D&D and in different TTRPGs, but I still like to learn and don’t have issues with learning something new. I don’t do rules lawyering unless it helps others or points out obvious cheating.
  • Patient person – I work with a lot of people and take my time explaining things, so I don’t mind playing with people new to the hobby and less experienced players.
  • Player who avoids drama – this is my hobby and I don’t want to come here and impose any issues on anyone. If something is bothering me, I will speak up as soon as possible and try to find a compromise that would be good for all sides. I am also happy to adjust my behavior if something I'm doing or did may not be liked by the group – and I respect people’s triggers or sensitive topics.
  • Punctual player with regular attendance – I like to value time of all people involved. If I know I will be absent, I will inform about it ASAP, same with being late. But if I book the slot, it is there for the group and for the game.

What am I looking for?

  • Free to play game - I want to avoid playing for the thing that is my hobby (as I have a lot of other expenses).
  • Roleplay heavy campaign – I want to be able to connect with other players characters and while dungeon/hex crawls can be fun, I would rather have more time to learn about who my companions are and to make it make sense that we stick together as a group.
  • Group that shares spotlight – I will share it for others and I hope that others can do something like that in return. It is no fun if one person constantly talks over others.
  • High fantasy game – just a personal preference, but I am not keen on horror games or sci-fi oriented ones. However, I am ready for the worlds as Eberron, so a bit of modernization is fine as well!
  • DM with a rule of cool attitude – of course, I want to have rules overall, but we also like to have DM who is fine with flavouring, a bit of homebrew, or just simply allowing us to have a bit more fun. Counting the weight of the coins or specific use of rations is not really for me.
  • LGBTQ+/women/neurodivergent friendly – I want to be a part of group where I wouldn’t feel too awkward with myself.

If that interests you, feel free to contact me via DMs, I would love to hear about your group and your game. Thank you for reading!

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][D&D 5e 2024][EST][18+]Hoard of the Dragon Queen and perhaps Beyond!! For all. [LGBTQ+ and POC friendly]

7 Upvotes

Edit: Times will be Wednesdays from 7pm EST and going for 2-4 hours per session. I mentioned it in the form but forgot to do so here, sorry. Also - if this post is up, I'm still taking applicants. I will strike this out when I have my party. I plan do have one more post tomorrow as well, try and talk to most of you by Tuesday, and if its copacetic for all, have Session Zero this wednesday.

Greetings all!
My name is Joe and for the sake of full disclosure I'm looking to eventually become a paid DM. However, this game will be free for as long as it lasts, which I hope will span more than a year of playtime. And if we become close friends in that time, who knows what else! I will be using Foundry VTT and players do not need to purchase anything Foundry related they only need a decent computer to run it.

A bit about Hoard of the Dragon Queen: You are part of a traveling Caravan in the Forgotten Realms either as a guard, peddler, or traveler. On the Horizon, you see smoke pillars in the distance. Something is wrong. Greenest - your destination - is under attack. Swimming through the smokey air above the town is something you can't quite make out. The light from the quickly descending sun allows you to see the glint of what looks like a... Could it be a... scale? Whatever it is, it's moving fast and retreats from your view as quickly as you glimpse it.

A bit about me as a DM: I have a passion for telling stories first and foremost. I use rules as a backbone but always leave room for rule of cool. I like challenging my players, but I'm far from adversarial. I always root for my players and when they get excited, so do I. I'm not a bogart. :) I have about a year and a half of DMing experience though that's spread out between D&D 5.5e and Vampire: the Masquerade v5 so I'm moderately experienced.

A bit about what I'm looking for in you, my future players: I have a preference for newer or new players! Though everybody of every experience level should feel free to apply. Also: People who respect the work I put in, who are excited to explore and have a fantastical experience, who recognize that this is a shared storytelling experience, who can assist in pushing the narrative forward by participating wholeheartedly, etc.

A bit about who might not enjoy this game: People who love rules so much that they expect depositions in the middle of the game (Rules WILL mostly be followed, but rules lawyering and etc. bogs the experience down and frustrates me), people who are extremely combat oriented (There WILL be plenty of combat!!! It's just, admittedly, not my favorite thing)

And, well, let's just go from there! Drop a application to me through this link: https://forms.gle/Y2UkAoHUvfY8p2419 and if I am interested I will hit you up through Discord for a short talk.

Tonight is the night of the Hallow's Eve Ball and you're invited! Its a grand celebration in which the young vampire countess will select her husband or bride. All of the most eligible and beautiful monster nobles in all of the land have been invited for her to choose from, but if Countess Carmilla cannot find a bride by the end of the night, then her younger brother in blood, Bloody Jack, will inherit the throne instead.

Now you, my dear PCs, are fellow monsters and have been invited to attend. You've come to the ball in your fanciest clothes and are ready to party! But what should be a night of fun and celebration is interrupted when all of the suitors in attendance mysteriously vanish (except the PCs of course).
A sinister plot is in motion, and time to rescue those who have disappeared may be running out…

———————————————-

Looking for players for an evening one shot TODAY at 7:00pm EST.

Players should be 3rd level, and may pick one uncommon magic item. Please use point buy for stats, no unearthed arcana or homebrew! Play any race, class, or gender you’d like! We're using 5e legacy rules. I'm extremely LGBTQ friendly!
On character creation, you may decide if you would like to be a vampire or a werewolf. (Or other!) There's no combat in this, so it will be more for fun that anything!

NOTE: This is a heavy RP one shot with no combat. Its skill check heavy / mystery oriented with flirty content! :3

If interested, please message mesifin on discord.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][5e][2014] We Will Bring You Back A High-Fantasy Campaign of Grief, Loyalty, and Defiance

4 Upvotes

In Emberhold, the forges have fallen silent. Its people gather to mourn the man who built them a home when they had nowhere else to go. But some goodbyes are harder to accept than others and some people are willing to cross worlds to bring someone home.

This is an online D&D 5e campaign using the 2014 rules, about the people left behind, the bonds that survive loss, and the decision to attempt something impossible together. Expect roleplay, exploration, dangerous battles, and a journey shaped by your characters’ choices. Bringing Rimvar back is the campaign’s driving goal. How you pursue it, what you discover, and what you’re willing to risk will be yours to decide.

Who was Rimvar?

A dwarf raised by frost giants, Rimvar was a master smith, an adventurer, and the founder of Emberhold, a mountain refuge built to withstand a world growing increasingly hostile. He carried a hammer called Frostgrip and had a habit of taking other people’s troubles onto his own shoulders. To some, he was a protector or teacher. To others, an employer, a friend, or the stubborn man who made sure they had somewhere warm to sleep.

Who he was to you is something we’ll build together.

Your character

You begin at level 7, with 300 gp, one uncommon magic item, and the following ability scores to assign: 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8.

Your backstory must connect you to both Emberhold and Rimvar personally. You might have worked in his forge, grown up under his protection, shared meals with his family, or found a second chance within his city. These are starting points, and I welcome your own ideas.

The essential part is that your character genuinely cares that he is dead and wants him back. Knowing his reputation or accepting a paid job won’t be enough to carry the emotional heart of this campaign. Give me a memory of him. Something ordinary you miss. Something you never got to say.

You don’t need to have worshipped him or agreed with everything he did. Complicated relationships are welcome. You do need a reason to stand beside the others when they decide to go after him.

The table

I’m looking for players who enjoy character-driven roleplay, build connections with their party, and make room for each other’s stories. There will be grief and serious stakes, but also warmth, humor, friendship, and victories worth celebrating. Your characters and their growth will be central to the campaign.

If interested, contact me on Discord: silverbarrel. Send me a little about yourself, your tabletop experience, your availability and time zone, and a brief character idea including your connection to Emberhold and one reason Rimvar’s loss feels personal.

The funeral is where we begin.

What happens after is up to you.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][5e 2014][Sunday][11:30pm EST] Need one long term player for CoS campaign and beyond. New player friendly.

0 Upvotes

I’m the DM for our Sunday night group.

Our group recently lost one of our players. We are looking for a replacement who will fit into the table.

Current campaign is CoS. We’re about half way through. We also play a Daggerheart thing once in a while if we have a week off from DnD.

The first thing to note is you should be looking for a table/group, not a game. Yes, we’re of course running a campaign right now. But the idea is we’ll be doing future campaigns as well. We have a good group going, get along well, mesh well, and I put it together with the intent of being a group of friends gaming rather than a group of randos playing a campaign. (We all did meet here in LFG).

So preference actually goes to people for whom this would be the only game you’ll be in versus people in 6 games a week.

I don’t think I can stress this one enough. You should really be looking for a group of friends, not just to play CoS or get another game in on Sunday night.

On that note, experience doesn’t matter. Heck, in some ways less can be better. We don’t need a professional player. Meshing with everyone as a player is 100% what we’re looking for.

So what will help you mesh the best? Here’s a few quick things:

Women preferred. The person who dropped out was a woman. We’d like to keep the same dynamics if possible. We are currently 3 women, 2 guys.
You should like story telling role play. Note this may be different than just role playing a character. Here’s a test: you come upon a tower in the forest, inside of which is your objective. The DM asks you to describe the tower to the group and explain what is stopping you from just walking in.

If that sounds like “work” to you or there’s a bit of “that’s what the DM is for.” I get it. But you’ll probably find our play style tedious and exhausting. We are definitely not a “just get to the action” type of group.

Age: be 30+. We’re all 30+ with kids, careers, lives, etc. For multiple reasons you being in the same boat will make everyone have more fun (including you).

Have some tech ability or ability to learn. You don’t need to be a tech guru. But if you haven’t grasped the basics of the VTT by session 5 or so we can’t stop to help you out every time it’s your turn. We use FG. Powerful for DMs (yay me), not the most user-friendly UI/UX.

No goofy shit for characters, etc. No hate on that type of play, just not what we’re doing in this group. Think more GoT type play than “I ride around as a mushroom person on my tiny pet squirrel” type of play.

Enjoy a more hardcore style of play rather than typical power fantasy of 5e. Magic is toned down significantly. Long rests are rare. Much more gritty feeling than standard DnD. If you play DnD just to roll some dice and kill some orcs to blow off steam, you won’t enjoy our game. This is more like “my character is always on 2 levels of exhaustion, my spell slots are burned, I don’t have any potions, and now I’m supposed to go dive into this creepy dungeon???? Wtf!?”

Be ok with natural consequences and a DM who may say “no” to things. Not to kill creativity, but just like no, you can’t charm the king into letting you go free after you just killed his daughter. There’s no scenario that exists that will get you out of the predicament you’re currently in based on your choices. How the story develops from here (see the role play above) is yet to be seen.

I don’t care what character you already have made. Primarily because I don’t really care about characters as a DM (again, it’s about the table not optimal play or something). In fact, you should probably not have any character hardcoded in mind. I’ve tied all our characters into the narrative and your character would need to be tied in as well. So whatever you have is going to be tweaked to fit in with how they’ll be tied into the narrative. So if a DM tinkering with your character bothers you, I understand. But you won’t enjoy my DM style.

If this sounds like fun or your kind of group, or you just want to hear more, hit me up on Discord @ mnsticky.

hi guys! Im caleb, 21, and i'm looking for a group to play a long-term campaign with! I'm fairly new to TTRPGS as a whole, but I have years of experience in character crafting and storytelling. im a very friendly and cooperative player, and i love making my characters feel like a natural extension of the world. i'm looking for something serious with heavy RP and stakes, but i'm certainly not opposed to something a little sillier. i'm most comfortable with D&D, but i'd love to try LANCER or Daggerheart too! you'd just have to be a bit patient with me. i'm available all day monday and tuesday, and every other day except sunday from very early to mid-morning. don't be afraid to reach out if you're interested or have questions! hope to hear from you soon!

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [5e 2014] [CST] DM Looking for 5 Premade Players — 3-Month Sunday Campaign

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm a longtime online DM with a homebrew campaign that I'm really excited to run. The campaign is designed for 5 players and will run for approximately 3 months on Sunday mornings.

The catch: I'm specifically looking for a premade group of 5 players who already know and have played with each other for more than a few sessions.

I'm looking to give another DM a break for a few months by running their group through my campaign. Each player would play their own PC during the sessions.

You'll need access to Foundry VTT and Discord.

The Setting

The campaign takes place in Sanctuary, a massive underground dystopian city built from the remnants of a dying world.

The surface is nearly dead.

An enormous creature from beyond this world has been slowly feeding on the life of the planet. The land is becoming a wasteland, earthquakes tear through what remains, and civilization has collapsed across much of the world.

Only a handful of powerful cities remain.

Sanctuary is one of them.

Home to powerful wizards, ancient magic, wealthy merchants, and dangerous guilds, the city should be humanity's greatest hope for survival.

Instead, its wizards are too busy fighting over power, politics, and their own interests to deal with the world dying around them.

The Fae Queens are barely holding the last remnants of life together.

The surface is dying.

The city is cracking.

And something is coming.

Campaign Tone

The campaign is heavily inspired by:

  • Dragon Age
  • Warhammer: Age of Sigmar
  • The Witcher
  • Dark Souls
  • Forgotten Realms
  • He Who Fights with Monsters
  • Brandon Sanderson

It's a mix of dark fantasy, exploration, large-scale battles, political conflict, strange magic, and player-driven choices.

Your decisions can have lasting consequences on the city, its people, and the factions within it.

Game Rules

  • D&D 5e 2014
  • Mostly standard rules
  • Most official 2014 content is allowed
  • Tasha's Cauldron of Everything is generally allowed
  • Very few house-rule adjustments
  • Homebrew content is available for the setting, including some homebrew classes
  • Character creation will be discussed with the group before play

Game Requirements

  • Foundry VTT installed on your PC
  • Discord installed on your PC
  • A good-quality microphone
  • Ability to communicate clearly through Discord
  • A reasonably quiet playing environment
  • Reliable attendance

Schedule

Sundays: 8:15 AM – 11:15 AM CST

There will be a 15-minute break in the middle of the session.

The campaign is expected to run for approximately 3 months.

What I'm Looking For

I'm specifically looking for 5 players who already play together and have good chemistry as a group.

You don't need to be professional roleplayers or hardcore D&D veterans. I'm mainly looking for a group that:

  • Gets along well
  • Works together
  • Enjoys roleplay
  • Is comfortable communicating over Discord
  • Shows up consistently
  • Wants to experience a campaign where their choices actually matter

If your regular DM wants a break for a few months, this might be a good fit.

If you're interested, send me a Reddit DM with a little information about your group:

  • How long you've been playing together
  • How many players are in the group
  • Your general D&D experience
  • Confirmation that Sunday 8:15–11:15 AM CST works for everyone
  • A little about what your group enjoys most about D&D

The Hook

The world is dying.

The surface has become a wasteland. Something from beyond this world has been feeding on the life of the planet, and the civilizations that once stood against it are mostly gone.

What remains survives beneath the earth.

Sanctuary is one of the last great cities of the mortal realm — a massive underground civilization built by people who fled the dying surface.

It is a city of powerful wizards, ancient magic, wealthy merchants, dangerous guilds, and ordinary people simply trying to survive.

But Sanctuary has a problem.

The wizards who rule the city are too busy fighting over power, politics, research, and old grudges to agree on what should be done about the world outside.

Meanwhile, the surface continues to die.

You aren't a legendary hero.

Not yet, anyway.

You're an adventurer who needs gold.

Fortunately, there's always work for people willing to risk their lives.

The Retrievers Guild specializes in recovering magical artifacts, lost knowledge, and valuable resources from places no sane person would willingly visit.

You've spent weeks looking for work.

Today, you finally get a contract.

A surface expedition.

Good pay. Valuable discoveries. A chance to make a name for yourselves.

Your group arrives at the Retrievers Guild warehouse.

Hundreds of adventurers are preparing for the expedition.

Wagons are being loaded.

Weapons are being checked.

Spells are being prepared.

Your contract seems simple:

Protect the expedition.

Protect each other.

Bring back what you find.

But the surface has secrets.

The Drow are moving.

The Fae are dying.

Something is hunting the survivors of the old world.

And the deeper you get into the ruins of what came before, the more obvious it becomes that this expedition isn't just about treasure.

The world is dying.

Sanctuary is running out of time.

And eventually, you'll have to decide what you're willing to do about it.

Will you protect Sanctuary?

Change it?

Or burn it down and build something better?

That choice belongs to you.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [Other] [+18] [CST] Multiversal TTRPG

2 Upvotes

Hello, my name is GhostDJ. I'm trying to run my own custom 3d6 dice system, which focuses on its content: Heavy Roleplay, Exploration, Survival-horror, and mature themes. These mature themes include body horror, corruption, cosmic horror, dehumanization, faith, and physical or political violence. Yet I do allow humor in my games, but there will be moments where the plot will be serious. Combat is very deadly. It is best recommended to use violence only when necessary. If conflict can be avoided, it is best to think things through before acting. Teamwork is key.

Anyways, I'm looking for 4 to 6 players who can handle these themes or okay with toning down for other players. My sessions are free of charge, and we play 3-hour sessions weekly on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays. The session time is typically from 7pm to 10pm cst. I would allow extra time if I were in the mood. Also, if you desire to do two sessions per weekend, I can make those arrangements.

Here's the synopsis for the arc: A long time ago, when the multiverse was new, there was no magic. Until one day, an unknown threat called 'The Red' came and corrupted the many worlds. People questioned if he was a sign of deity or something far worse. Some people stuck to their original beliefs. Others seek knowledge from 'The Red'. Curiosity led the people to their own corruption. It let in demons and other eldritch creatures throughout the multiverse to create more chaos and destruction. Your party is selected for a purpose. The main goal is to survive its wrath and figure out how to defeat this abomination before it is too late. Each player will have a significant role within their class. They can be from different universes with magical or non-magical abilities. Narratively, your character's faith and morals will be put into question.

Group Needed by Player [Online][WoD][Flexible][LGBTQA+ friendly][18+][GMT]

0 Upvotes

Hi! After around 7 years of constantly DMing (and 3 years without being a player at all) I'm looking for a group to join in. I'm 25 nb (any pronouns) working person with a cute cat and a lot of scheduling flexibility. English is not my first language, but I'm pretty good at using it for games and other stuff (Well, I'm writing it, so-).

Mainly I had experience DMing VtM and I love the world and the system. Ideally, I would prefer to join a VtM chronicle or something else WoD adjustent, but atp I'm open to anything.

Schedule:

I'm open to any time/day except for Monday and Sunday (Sometimes Saturday, but I will tell you a week before).

So what do I have in stock?

- Passionate player. I'm usually REALLY into the game. I make memes, I draw and I engage. I WILL interact with NPCs, hints, little pieces of lore and whatever DM has to offer.

- Sharing spotlight. I understand how important it is for everyone to have their time to shine and I love to hear and see what other PCs have to offer!

- Respecting the DM and other players. I understand all the struggles of being a DM firsthand, so I won't put the DM through the same stuff. I do little to no metagame or rule lawyering, except when I have out of character question regarding something (however, I will not do things like ACTUALLY trains dont work that way). I value the time of people involved and always notify if something goes wrong beforehand. I won't give any unnecessary feedback unless asked for (although I'm usually very positive to any stuff)

- No-drama person. I just want to live a quiet life and enjoy my games without irl drama (Several of my games died cuz of player's drama). Even IF I will have problems with another player, I tend to separate game and reality.

- Direct. I will not dissapear on you or keep quiet if something is wrong-wrong (like I got triggered or offended), I know how to speak words through my mouth, lmao. But it's all out of the game, of course, I don't tend to ruin anyone's fun.

- I'm actually roleplaying. I LOVE theathricals and to be in-character during the game. I also understand that any in-game stuff doesn't affect our out-of-the-game relationships or views. Also, I have very miniscule amount of themes I find offensive (in-game) or triggering. After all I like WoD and it often tends to touch sensitive stuff.

- Well, I can DM in the future, since I love doing it! But for now I need a little break.

As a side note it's completely okay if u wanna interview me before the game to see if we vibe with each other.

What I'm looking for?

- Free to play game. Honestly, I don't find this type of games genuine enough, but I will gladly donate to DM if I have some spare money as a thank-you :)

- Narratively-driven game. Although I know that sometimes battle mechanics and other stuff is neccessary, I like to be able to connect with other characters, NPC, play my character and have some drama of course.

- Openminded DM. I would prefer to have a DM who is not super to-the-book type. Sometimes, scene needs cinematography for the sake of cinematography and it's often tend to bend some rules. Also, I'm very open to homebrews and other stuff, so it would be cool if DM was too. Although, to be honest my most homebrew stuff was pink tiefling lol.

- LGBTQA+/neurodivergent friendly group. I want to play with people where I can be openly myself and don't need to mask or anything.

If you think that we're a match made in heaven - DM me or leave a comment! I will be glad to get to know you or your group!

Hey there, this is Brad! I've been playing D&D since 2020, DMing since 2022, and I've been a nerd since way back. I'm a professional theatre technician, I'm also an improvisor, actor, and writer. Princes of the Apocalypse has everything from your favorite action espionage thriller: important hostages needing saving, huge fortresses ripe with opportunities for stealth infiltration, and maniacal villains bent on world destruction. Join me in leaning into the theme- create your very own action espionage D&D character, specialized with larger than life feats and abilities, infiltrate deceive or fight your way thru highly guarded dungeons, and stop the destruction of the Sword Coast!

This game is for movie and video game nerds as well as fans of the action espionage genre- think secret agent man, femme fatale, or specialized operative; use story and genre tropes from Mission: Impossible, Alias, Hitman, James Bond, Metal Gear Solid, The Bourne Identity, Splinter Cell, etc.

Style: dungeon crawl, VTT, rules lite, combat heavy, role play heavy, hexcrawl, sandbox Themes: espionage, infiltration, stealth, fantasy, secret agent, femme fatale, anti-ai, anti-war, anti-wmd

Content Warnings: blood, character death, cults, death, drowning, fire, mass death, suffocation, terrorism, torture, violence, freezing, uncanny valley, snakes, manipulation

Safety:

This is an LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent friendly table

No sexual aggression or violence

No racial aggression or violence

No gender aggression or violence

No generative AI use allowed Do you believe love can bloom on the battlefield? PG-13 gameplay romance is allowed between PCs and NPCs. PG-13 gameplay romance between PCs is allowed, but only after full consent and boundaries are established between included players.

No means no.

Character Creation:

- Create a level 3 D&D character using 2024 rules, who is larger than life and would fit-in to an action espionage setting

- Point Buy and Standard Array

- All character options are available, I would recommend a well rounded build. There is an emphasis on magic in combat, emphasis on infiltration in exploration. That said, feel free to specialize your character however you wish!

Once you are on the Discord, I'll go thru more in depth character creation and backstory work thru messages and group chat. Before your first session I'll get you set up with your character sheet in Foundry, I don't use D&D Beyond. In your first session you'll go thru a condensed version of the session 0 that everyone went thru before introducing your character and getting into the game.

This game is played in Discord and Foundry simultaneously, no theatre of the mind. I suggest a 2 screen setup at a desktop with a headset microphone and webcam, but at the very least you will need to be in one place on a computer and able to hear and be heard, and see and be seen during gameplay. Foundry does not work on mobile, Discord does.

We have already completed the prologue mission, now known as the Oakhurst Incident, which featured searching for the legendary leader of HELL-HOUND, Vizeran DeVir, after being MIA for 6 years. DeVir was defeated after trying to destroy and remake the world, and HELL-HOUND disbanded. Now 3 years later you and your companions are called back to duty as followers of Vizeran DeVir have struck again.

But it all starts with a simple message, with direct instructions:

---

This is Commander Hauberk Miller, it's been a long time! I regret to force you out of retirement, but you're going to want to hear this.

A delegation of high profile nobles on a top secret political assignment from Mirabar to Waterdeep were attacked and captured in the Sumber Hills of Faerûn's Dessarin Valley. The delegates are being held deep underground in the abandonded dwarven kingdom of Besilmer. The terrorists are next-generation mercenaries and cutthroats, being led by members of HELL-HOUND, your former unit and one I was Commander of. They're demanding that ALLIANCE hand over the remains of the legendary mage Vizeran DeVir, founder of HELL-HOUND. They say if their demands are not met soon, they will detonate a Devastation Orb in the Valley.

You and your companions have been hand selected to take on this task. You will be working with the best of the best from the HRPR, ALLIANCE, ENCLAVE, ORDER, even the Z.N.T.R.M. The factions of the Sword Coast have set aside their differences to put an end to HELL-HOUND for good.

You will have 2 mission objectives: Firstly, you are to rescue the 4 members of the Mirabar Delegation and safely escort them all to Waterdeep together. Secondly, you are to investigate whether or not the terrorists have the ability to detonate a Devastation Orb, and stop them if they do.

There are 4 members of HELL-HOUND involved in this operation:

Aerisi Kalinoth, codename HOWLING HATRED - a wingèd elf mage with a violent temper,

Marlos Urnrayle, codename BLACK EARTH - weapons master and medusa,

Gar Shatterkeel, codename CRUSHING WAVE - a spiteful druid with a crab claw arm,

And Vanifer, codename ETERNAL FLAME - the mysterious and manipulative sorcereress.

Each of them leads legions of fanatics dedicated to their purpose. It's you and your companions against armies out there. Stay alert!

This is an infiltration mission: you will want to get in and out without raising too many alarms, but you and your companions are free to choose the best course of action. Your faction contacts and I will be stationed in the nearby town of Red Larch to provide information and support during your mission. If you need anything you can contact us by STONE. I'll meet you and the rest of your team in Red Larch for mission briefing. Until then, stay alive out there!

- CMDR Hauberk Miller

---

All potential players must fill out the player character questionnaire before they can be considered for play and participation is contingent on following the above rules and being good vibes for the table. If you break the rules or are bad vibes, I reserve the right to kick out players. Drop a comment below and I'll DM you the application questionnaire to be considered for play :D
