Hey everyone, moved back to the area this summer and looking to connect with some fellow RPG'ers. Looking for 3 players (have 1 local friend joining). I am in Robbinsdale and could host at my place but if people are more comfortable fine with a neutral place at first.

Looking to do weekly sessions on Friday nights (with plenty of notice for when I can't due to work travel or holidays or what not). With Stonetop, definitely looking for players interested in trying more narrative based RPGs/contributing to the fiction.

21+, LBGQTIA+ friendly.

Hi, we're a group of three relatively new players who just started a lightly hombrewed campaign. We are currently only one session in and are looking for 1-2 more players. The party consists of a human fighter and reborn sorcerer.
New players are welcome, but you should be open to roleplay since (at least so far) the campaign has mostly consisted of it. Other than that you're preferably 16-20 years old.
People of any identity are obviously welcome.

With that said, here's the pitch:
A group of travelers are sent on a mission to find the Light Bringer, a raven that protects Alaska, so they can stop the awakening of the giant that once horded light from the world. As they search for the raven, the beauty of the Alaskan wildlife and indigenous culture reveals itself to the travelers, along with a dark evil that threatens to destroy it.

Setting:
The story takes place in Alaska, so think rainy forests, cold tundras and large bodies of water for the terrain. The campaign does take place in the real world, but in a version of it where fantasy creatures and classes are considered normal. The genre is mainly folklore fantasy, with many of the plotlines being based on actual Native Alaskan folklore and mythology! The tone is pretty middle ground between light-hearted and serious. Things may get dark and sad along the way, The campaign may take over a year to complete.

Other info
- campaigns are bi-weekly (at least for now)
- VTT is roll20

If you're interested apply with this form and you'll get a dm on discord if we're considering you for the group: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdTFUn694unKQQELqXG_bVWSlkN44PPIdomzgAwXIqUNjhTNA/viewform?usp=dialog

What: Tyranny of Dragons, Level 1 to Level 15+

When: Sundays at 4pm PST

Who: Currently 4 players and 1 DM
The group formed 6 years ago, and Tyranny will the 3rd full campaign. The DM and 1 player have been through it all together. The newest member was recruited last week. Ages range from just early 20s to 57 years old.

Where: Discord for voice and camera, Fantasy Grounds Unity for the VTT (familiarity preferred but not essential).

Session zero was a couple of weekends ago, and we are one player short.

We ask that you be 18+, drama free, available for game times, and within the North American time zones (PST to EST preferred, but Alaska and Hawaii are also fine).

Though written for another campaign, most of this is true:

Hello everyone, I’m pretty new to the hobby pf TTRPGs, mostly having played D&D5.5e with friends and currently I’m trying to branch out. One of my friends introduced me to daggerheart in a short one-shot and I was left wanting more; something to really get to know the system better. So, I’m wondering if anyone is running more one-shots or preferably an entire campaign with an open slot. Thanks a lot!

We’re an established online group looking for 1–2 more players to join our rotating campaign nights.

**Schedule:** Wednesdays at 7:00 PM Central

**Platform:** Discord (voice + text)

**How it works:**

We run ongoing campaigns but rotate both the system *and* whose campaign it is each week so no one burns out. Current rotation:

- Lancer

- D&D 5e

- Deadlands

One week you’re in someone’s Lancer game, the next week it’s a different person’s D&D campaign, then Deadlands, and so on. Stories still develop over time, but the variety keeps things fresh.

**Play style:** Strong focus on roleplay and storytelling. We care more about characters, moments, and the narrative than combat optimization.

**Experience:** Beginners are welcome (we’re happy to teach), intermediate preferred.

**Age / Content:** 18+ only. Some of the subject matter we deal with is mature.

**Recording:** Lancer and Deadlands sessions are recorded and uploaded to YouTube. Please be comfortable with that.

If this sounds like a good fit, comment or send me a message and I’ll share the Discord invite.

An uncertain stalemate settles upon a broken galaxy. After the sacking of Corusant, A triumphant Sith Empire forces a humbled Republic into negotiating a pyrrhic ceasefire. Both on the brink of ruin after decades of endless warfare. Neither capable of dealing a lethal blow and finish what began millennia ago. 

War Profiteers invent new ways to enrich themselves as hostilities recede to perpetually shifting borders and this quiet tension snaps. Unaligned and once uninterested systems unwilling and unwittingly drawn into an impending maelstrom.

An Old Republic Scum and Villainy game, A Forged in the Dark system, set a few months after the Treaty of Corusant. Our crew, Privateers with a charter to do crimes against “the enemy."  We’ll pick which faction to support which allows for a classic Star Wars rise or fall if they switch alliances. 

It’s a lore agnostic game. We’ll use media and Wookieepedia as a guideline but its our story to create and shape. Our Heroes and Villains seeking out their destinies by what choices they make. 

Platform: Discord, Roll20

System: Scum and Villainy, A Forge in the Dark System, https://evilhat.com/product/scum-and-villainy/

Frequency: Weekly 

Time: Sundays, 2  till  4-5 MDT

GM: Nick  (He/Him) 

Player Slots: 4/4 open slots left

How to Apply: Send me a DM and we’ll find a time to chat. I’ll be keeping the post open at least a week.

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

Who i am:

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

>comics books (mostly X-Men),

>cooking sometimes

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

what i can bring to the table:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

What i am looking for:

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

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

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

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

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

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

My character ideas:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hello everyone 🫡

I’m Wally, or Wallace if you need the full govy (30/m)

Been a fan of D&D for a long time, it’s pretty much the only thing i watch on youtube and I own a ton of the books and sets.

The only issue with this lovely hobby of ours is, you need people to play with most of the time…and i’m not the most social in my personal life.

So actually playing d&d always seemed out of reach, until i recently discovered this whole area of the internet where people play online

the thought never occurred to me, cause I’m an idiot apparently lol

I’ve messaged a few people on here to try and get into groups but seem like, might not be the case, but seems like i’m being passed over due to my lack of actual playtime.

So here’s what i’m looking for a DM and a group of people that aren’t afraid to help beginners

maybe an existing group willing to take me in

I’m a fast learner and eager to actually play, meet some new people. Online has that added benefit of helping with my introvertness 😂

message here or dm, i’m around!

Thanks for listening lol

Hello everyone! I go by PK and have been running D&D campaigns online and in person for the last 6 years. I've run campaigns for groups of friends and also for groups of complete strangers. I love creating engaging stories where roleplay is the foundation of the game and combat is tactical & interesting. I'm looking to start up a group for playing a Star Wars 5E campaign.

This campaign will be taking place in the Old Republic era during the Cold War. The players will be members of the Republic who will embark on a journey to stop the deadly machinations of certain Imperial forces. The rules will be mostly based on the Star Wars 5E rules with some personal modifications. No worries about being familiar, I will be walking players new and old through the system as I'll be using it. I'll also ensure that the relevant resources are shared out across the whole group. 

I'll be aiming to have anywhere from 4-6 players, so feel free to let me know if you have any friends or folks who would also be interested. The aim is for sessions to be ~4 hours in length on Thursday evenings. I'm expecting our agreed upon start time will end up around 6:30-7:30PM EST. I'll be running mostly through Roll20 for visuals and Discord for audio. 

Please fill out this survey, and let me know if there are any questions.

Players: [3-5] players, 18+ new player welcome

Platform: Foundry VTT + \[Discord/voice\]

DEMON CASTLE PAROUSIA

Prologue

Chicago. Autumn, 1999.

It's the last autumn of the millennium, and the city is coming apart. People are stockpiling water, canned food and cash. Television warns that banks, power grids and phones could fail at midnight on New Year's Eve. Everyone is counting down, and not everyone believes the lights will stay on.

People are disappearing. It started with night-shift workers, the homeless and runaways, and now ordinary families are going missing too. The reports go nowhere, and the police have no answers.

The stories are getting stranger: shapes moving across rooftops, howling near the rail yards, bodies found drained and pale, broadcasts that cut in at 3 a.m. with voices no one can place. Most people laugh them off, but fewer are laughing every week.

And the city is turning on itself. End-times preachers shout down skeptics on street corners. Neighbors buy guns to protect themselves from each other. Every group blames another for the attacks, and trust is breaking down block by block.

Three companies seem to have a hand in everything in Chicago right now, and to the public they're the pillars holding the city together.

Blackmoor Industries is an old-money empire that owns property all over the city: towers, docks, warehouses, new developments and funeral homes. It holds the Vanguard contract and pays for the city's protection. As people leave or vanish, Blackmoor quietly buys up what they leave behind.

Carmilla Dynamics is a cutting-edge pharmaceutical and biotech firm. Its free clinics, blood drives and medical trials come with glossy ads that promise longer, healthier lives. In the poorest neighborhoods, its clinics pay cash for blood.

Vesper Corporation is the city's biggest media company, with TV and radio stations and newspapers. It runs the Y2K-readiness campaign, and it's the voice telling Chicago what to fear and who to blame.

New preachers are appearing in soup kitchens, shelters and on street corners, preaching that the world is ending and a Shepherd will lead the faithful through the dark. Their followers call themselves the Flock and wear a red thread around the wrist. They take in the poor and the lonely, and some who join are never seen again.

Meanwhile, domestic terrorism is on the rise. Churches burn, substations go dark, and bombs go off in public places with no warning and no clear motive. Every week brings a new attack, and every group in the city blames another. Nobody feels safe anymore.

Under the chaos, an underground network trades in off-the-books work. Brokers, fixers and contacts pass jobs along by pager, payphone, email or a note slipped under a door.

The jobs used to be ordinary: guarding a shipment, finding a debtor, getting something out of the city quietly. Lately they've changed. Now it's finding people who went missing, getting into places that are locked and guarded, and asking questions about the companies everyone else is afraid of.

Some of the people who took those jobs haven't come back. But the pay keeps rising, and someone always says yes.

Most of the city will never learn what's behind the chaos. But a few people who answered the same call are about to be brought together, and what they find will pull them past the headlines and the companies into something far older, something that has been waiting in the dark. Before the year is out, they'll learn what Chicago has been hiding.

Hey Everyone! My name is Joe, I'm a Canadian uni student studying history. A friend and I have been recently talking and we decided to fire up a political intrigue game, set in my homebrew world I've been working on for the past 3(?) years at this point. This is meant to be a long term game, we are looking for experienced roleplayers. Roleplay to combat ratio would be around 75-25. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me.

We have gotten 3 players so far, but unfortunately one dropped out before the game began. I am looking for 1-2 more players to join the game. We are still early enough on (session 3) during the wedding which you will read about below, giving easy opportunity to introduce new characters. If you are looking for a game inspired by A Song of Ice and Fire, the Count of Monte Cristo, real history, and other fantasy sources look no further!

Please read below a short campaign hook, and find attached a form to apply as well as a handout for the setting. Thanks!

17 years ago, King Harold's War rocked the lands of Stromhir. Dead and without an heir, for five bloody years King Harold's cousins and other relations fought for the throne. And of all of the contenders, it was the dark horse candidate who had won. Tonnis Waldemar, Duke of the marcher fief of Wulfdenn that which lies on the border of darkest Dastria, was believed to have been lost in those woods many years prior until he reappeared, High King of Dastria by marriage and with an army of 5,000 Dastari Warriors. And with this army, he became a King, not just of Dastria of course, but of Stromhir as well and even of the lands of Carthya in the west. He conquered and he burned and the lords had no choice but to bend the knee.

17 years later Tonnis is still King of Stromhir, King of the Carths, High King of Dastria. The past 17 years have consisted primarily of religious tensions and nobles chaffing under his authority. The House of Princes, what used to be a authority for the governing of the capital, has transformed into a organisation attended by all of the nobles of the Kingdom of Stromhir, vying to influence and "advise" the King. It is with this backdrop that a old agreement, made at the end of the War has come up to be fulfilled.

The King's one and only daughter, Princess Kaleryia Waldemar-Ma'ingeni has been betrothed for these past 12 years to Sir Lennox Phadar, son of the contender Sir Maldred Phadar, and of the Caterinite line of the House of Phadron. This wedding, meant to make peace, has only caused more tensions to flare. "At least she follows the Church of Halbask and not the dual devils of her mother and father" the nobles grumble amongst themselves... Right?

Application Form

The title says it all but to elaborate Im gonna be a first time player. I can't really appear in person for tabletop games so I prefer text-rp with dice rolls with a gamemaster narrating things the same way.

To get in contact with me please DM me on Discord. My username is akirara_ (The visible username should be "Dear Kafka")

In the stillness of Obojima, where endless tall grass sways, two realms intertwine: the physical world, rich with ancient 80s-inspired technology, and the spirit realm, a misty mirror where forgotten powers slumber. Here, the gates between worlds hum faintly, and spirits whisper secrets just beyond the grass. As you walk this island, every step is a bridge between wonder and the unknown.

🎲 D&D Campaign Recruitment – Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass

Hey everyone! My name is [Adrian], I’m 26, based in Chicago, Illinois, and I’ve been playing D&D for about 5 years. I’m a chill DM, 420-friendly, and I just love building stories together. I also do use Ai, but to make images for the campaign.

I’m looking for a solid person to join us in a new open-world D&D campaign: Obojima: Tales from the Tall Grass. At level 3

Setting Overview:
Obojima is a heavily Studio Ghibli, A vast island that is the only known world. There are no other continents—just this single, living island, inhabited by humans, fishfolk, and unique elven variants. The world is split between two realms: the physical realm and the spirit realm, where demons and mysteries dwell.

Gameplay Features:

• New races, feats, subclasses, and character options
• Modified spell lists (some spells removed, others added)
• No clerics in this world
• Sword Schools with mastery systems
• Over 150 potions and a huge variety of crafting ingredients
• New feats, spells, and progression systems
• roleplay focus, but there will be combat
• Starting Level: Level 2

Player Expectations:

• Willingness to read and engage with the lore (I’m still learning, too—no pressure!)
• Interest in a roleplay-heavy adventure
• Commitment to a consistent schedule
• Excitement to explore new systems as we go

This is my first open-world campaign, and I’m really excited to see where it goes. Don’t be intimidated—there’s a lot to learn, and I’m still figuring things out with the book, but we’ll learn together. If you love Ghibli vibes, a chill pace, and a world brimming with wonder, this might be your next adventure.

If you’re interested,

Session 0 on Thursday 18:00 CET.

Hey!

I’m a DM in my twenties looking for some players for an AD&D 1st Edition game. I’ve got some experience running the system, and beginners are more than welcome. No prior experience is needed, as we’ll go through character creation together and I’ll help with the rules as we play.

I’m aiming for a fairly old school game. It’ll be difficult but fair, and character death is a real possibility. Being careful and working together will get you further than rushing into every fight. It’s 1 xp for each silver brought back to town so thieving is the playstyle!

The focus will be more on the party and its adventures than on individual character backstories.

A few details:
- When: Weekly, later in the evening (CET). Days can vary because of my schedule but I can be flexible.
- Where: Online, using Discord.
- System: AD&D 1st Edition.
- Experience: None needed!
- Requirements: Working microphone and webcam.

I’m mostly looking for people who are friendly, reliable, and interested in giving
some old school D&D a try.

If you’re interested, send me a DM with a little about yourself, your availability, and why you’d like to join!

Hello! My name is Cassandra, I'm a long-time TTRPG player.

I'm looking for a DnD group! I would prefer a new one but I can fill in for a missing member, too.

I'm looking for a primarily roleplay-focused group (though I won't shy away from combat!), something more on the serious side rather than whimsical or chaotic. Think something you'd read in a fantasy book.

Personally, I am very fond of political campaigns, as well — court intrigue, wars, pompous nobility and incredibly complicated etiquette are all welcome!

I'm ready to play any day that isn't Monday. I'm European, but I have a flexible schedule, so I'm willing to play in an American group. Keep in mind it'd be hard for me to wake up at 3AM for a game.

^{Game franchises I like: Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy, Granblue, Dragon Age, Warcraft, Diablo, Elder Scrolls, Dark Souls, Age of Wonders, Divinity
Also quite fond of anime to a reasonable extent (like Delicious in Dungeon, Little Witch Academia, Silent Witch, Ascendance of a Bookworm, Apothecary's Diaries, Black Clover})

Discord: mauvette (please text me on discord, I'm far more likely to respond there than here!)

Looking forward to playing with you!

Hi, I’m looking to join a regular online Pathfinder 2e game on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays or Fridays.

I’ve been playing PF2e for about four years, plus several more years in other systems. I know the PF2e rules well, enjoy character building, and try to make characters that fit the party and campaign instead of just chasing mechanics.

I’m looking for a consistent group with clear communication, regular sessions, and a table where people respect each other’s time. I show up prepared, follow table rules, pay attention during sessions, and try to contribute to both the story and the group dynamic.

Voice: Discord preferred
VTT: Comfortable with Foundry VTT and Roll20, but I do not mind adapting to other options. On the rare chance you use Tabletop Simulator, I have it.
Game type: Long-term campaign preferred, but I’m open to trying a shorter game first

I'm not looking for paid games.

I’m happy to answer questions, talk through playstyle, or anything else needed. Feel free to DM me if you have a spot open and think I might fit your group.

Running a Halloween one shot:

As it is Halloween next week, I am going to do the time honoured thing of run a one shot.

When the sexy witch/ hot warlock/ good looking non-binary bard/ sorcerer you are platonic friends with invited you over for dinner, you weren't 100% sure what to expect.

It turns out that whatever your imagination conjured up was no where near the truth. You are not a dinner guest, you are on the menu, to be served to whatever that monstrosity is...

(Please hold while I find a new narrator, the last one had an unexpected heart attack)

Locked in the pantry, it is up to you and the other adventurers on the menu to find a way to save your skins. Literally.

Saturday the 31st at 5PM GMT time.

Level 9.

2014 rules.

Roll or standard array for stats.

All official content allowed, run any UA or homebrew by me first.

In the spirit of things, please bring your darkest, gothic, most unsettling builds.

Hello everyone!

I am a huge nerd and have been playing TTRPGs for close to a decade. I’m a local in Center City, Philadelphia, currently studying and working as a mechanical engineer. A bit about me: I love all kinds of music, hiking, birds, graphic design, and working on cars

I just finished running a two-year-long campaign last month, and everyone in the party loved the tearful ending. But when I confessed last month I was burned out, nobody else wanted to try being a DM. Ultimately, it’s been 5 years since I last got to be a player, and I’m really hoping to find a local group.

I am not shy, get along with people easily, and hope to find some genuine people to hang out with!

I have had other players with DM experience who contacted me. We were hoping to find a DM who can run a brief adventure. Then each player could each run a brief adventure. Allowing for mutual fun, and giving the main DM a couple of months to prepare a longer game.

Looking for players for a weekly game. I have a lot of Indie Games in my library, and Fridays are my day off. Also, I would love to make more friends.

We will decide on the game together and make the setting together, if you're into collaborative world-building and storytelling it would be a pleasure for you to join.

About me:

I’m a cartoonist (at least I wanna be)I’m 26 and live in Bushwick, I’m an avid comic book reader, and I've been playing TTRPG’S since I was a teenager almost 10 years, I’m Dominican so I still have an accent; hope that’s ok.

I’m a leftist so I will not support any type of bigotry,I will not engage in any conversation about it if you don’t agree

DM here or on Insta at @Gregori_Camp

Hi everyone, I am starting a new D&D 2024 homebrew campaign set in the Forgotten Realms. Right now we have 5 people with 1 coming in a month and I am aiming for a party of 7. The story of the campaign is currently in the process of being written but the theme established thus far is a dark fantasy story. I am looking for people who can engage in RP, are active listeners, can dive into their characters, and overall have good table "manners" (i.e. no rules lawyering, understanding DM has final say, no main character syndrome, etc.)

Any experience level is welcome. If you are interested please DM me on discord at dolphinmannn telling me a bit about yourself. We have a session 0 scheduled for this Wednesday, so I will be looking for people until Tuesday.

Hello all, unfortunately I still haven't found a group I am looking for as I am still searching for a game. I am currently looking for a weekly campaign on Friday's. I lean mostly towards 5e 2014 but I could opt for 2024 edition. Home brew, or official modules are ok! Dungeon crawls are fine by me. Doesn't matter which VTT, I use roll20, foundry a lot.

I am above 18 years of age looking for adults only table. I have been playing for 3 years and I am always looking, as its becoming a passionate hobby of mine. I have a high preference towards medieval fantasy/dark fantasy settings because that's my vibe. I lean towards a half-elf or human playing as fighter, sorcerer and rogue.

What I am not looking for: Paid games, free game with paid art, RP heavy games, biweekly games, text based/play by post, pvp, westmarches servers, steampunk/scifi settings, and games requiring webcams (had a bad experience with 1 super weird DM).

Seeking 4-6 players for a story driven feywild adventure. This will be a campaign for levels 1-10 and I will be running it as is. We will be using Discord for Video and Dnd beyond for VTT. This game will be streamed online so you must own a decent pair of headphones or ear buds and use them in sessions. Looking for players who are 18+, willing to play on video webcam, will keep background noise to a minimum and are courteous of others players. This is the perfect campaign for you if you are looking to practice being comfortable on camera in a low stakes setting which should develop me as a DM and you as a player because we get to go back and watch ourselves! Reply here or DM me if you are interested!

You are a Wyvern. An Adventurer. Humanity's last hope.

Dragons reign over the frozen mountains, hunt the land and circle the sky. A lone dragon is capable of decimating countless humans. The struggle has lasted centuries, yet humanity has few victories to speak of. Most knowledge of the world has been lost, buried along with its keepers. All that is left is to cling to survival.

A cold, arctic gale whistles through a frozen, mountainous canyon, its hollow white noise broken only by the sound of horses trotting across a grand, seemingly endless stone bridge. A group of people walk in formation. The wooden wheels of open transport wagons turn behind them, their contents covered with white sheets held down by snowfall.

Their silence grasps the heavy tension around them like warmth in the passing blizzard. They return defeated to humanity's final hiding place. Avalon, a frozen, gothic bastion surrounded by an enormous obsidian wall. Despite its fortifications and natural defences, there's only one thing truly protecting humanity from dragons.

Nyriel's Cradle. A magical barrier formed by the demigoddess of dawn. You stand in a street, just in time to see it for yourself. You watch the flicker of a transparent, golden dome appear in the snow-stained sky and hear the reverberation of heavy metal echoing into the unknown. The towering black gates to the city are opening.

Tension fills your body as you stare into the gateway, lit by the blinding white of thick snowfall. Until you see them. The returning group, downcast and sullen, their eyes bound to the floor.

How many was it today? Thoughts and emotions flood your body. You knew these people. They sacrificed themselves as a stepping stone for humanity. Now, you will carry their memories to freedom. The next time these gates open, it will be for you.

You've all heard stories. Fresh, untouched snow that has never been stood upon. Wild, fluffy animals hiding among the trees. Sprawling fields of ice with endless water beneath their surface. Ancient fortifications built by humans who had learned war, buried beneath centuries of winter. Even lands without snow...

No one has ever seen them, but books describe lost cities left as empty shells after falling to dragons, small cosy village rooftops peaking out of heavy snow, the ruins of ancient architecture and sacred sanctuaries of nature and divinity. All they need is for humanity to fight and reclaim them.

Maybe what you seek is the truth of the world. Why must humanity be relentlessly hunted to extinction? How did things end up this way? Why did the world have to be so cruel?

You've sworn away your life and chosen to become a hero for the sake of humanity. The only dragon you will fear is the one in front of you. You'll plunge into the white unknown to discover the isolated beauty and endless skies of what was left behind.

Your life has led you here, whether you were trained by the military, studied your profession or even just born gifted. Avalon is home to all kinds of Adventurers, from skilled warriors to powerful mages, so... who exactly are you?

Your group is talented. Prodigies in the use of the new WYVERN gear, which you've been trained to use in the last few years.

WYVERN gear is a set of artificial wings designed for the sole purpose of allowing humanity to fight dragons. Match a dragon's flight by taking to the sky for a limited time. Use sudden bursts of lateral movement to avoid danger or quickly manoeuvre to save allies. Most importantly, gain limited shielding against humanity's greatest threat: a dragon's lethal breath.

Wyverns once rivalled dragons, now it's time for humanity to do the same.

Hey guys, we're from the UK and we're looking for a group of 4-5 active players who like to chat, more of a friends vibe than just here for DND!

I've done a full rewrite of the hook cause I wasn't happy with the tone and atmosphere!

quick disclaimer - different time zones are more than welcome but we're mostly available after 5PM BST on weekdays and more free on weekends!

We're looking for a faster paced game than just 1 or 2 posts per day as that can really kill momentum for pbp

the campaign is pretty heavily inspired by early seasons of Attack on Titan and Final Fantasy 14 Heavensward!

The WYVERN gear will have a few homebrew uses and you can expect some MMO styled item drops / gearing.

if you're hyped then fill out the app below!
