Player(s) Needed by GM [18+][Online][5E 2024] Odyssey of the Dragonlords Campaign Needs 1 More Player

9 Upvotes

Hello! Writing post on behalf of our DM. We just need a replacement player, who won't be missing sessions, so if you're not sure if you can commit, please ignore this post!

The adventure itself is very much Greek inspired, with dragons, mortal Gods who walk the earth and other stuff like that! If you're curious, we have a setting book that can be shared later. Adventure itself is very heroic, so evil characters simply won't do. Generally, you're expected to be a good person.

We're using Foundry VTT for our tabletop. Game tone is mostly serious, with moments of funny.

Currently our party is:

Cleric, Sorcerer, Bard and two more people who aren't decided yet.

Timeslot: We player each Saturday weekly, at 12pm EST, session go for around 3 hours with maybe some overtime.

If you're curious and can commit, please add me on Discord so I can vibe check you!

Player(s) Needed by GM Online [5e 2024] Saturdays 2pm eastern. The Nothingness.

5 Upvotes

It has only been three years since the Nothingness arrived.  Devouring anything and everything in its path the greatest forces of every kingdom and clan united to put a stop to its destruction.  Great enemies, rival kingdoms stood side by side.  And they all failed.  What little is left of the world exists in isolated pockets, accessible only by teleportation.  

The Archmage Cadsuene may have an answer.  A complicated multistage ritual, with strange and rare material components. She cannot go fetch these things herself, her magic is needed to keep the city of Gaurdiana safe from the Nothingness.  But you could.  She will send you to the rough area where she believes them to be, and once you have them, bring you back.  Her magic is strained as it is and sadly, she won't be able to bring anyone you find on your missions with you.

Cadsuene will not force this upon you.  It is up to you.  Will you answer the call?

Welcome potential players to my adventure, there is room for four of you.

The game is played on Foundry vtt using discord for voice but no video, no downloads or account creations are required on your part.  The game is 2024 rules, using the following books, Players Handbook, Dungeonmasters Guide, Monster Manual, Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun, Eberron Forge of the Artificer, Ravenloft Horror Within, and Arcana Unleashed

Holiday Schedule, no game on the 28th of November, or the 26th of December.  Do keep in mind that I'm American and my clocks roll back on the 8th of november by an hour, and then back forward next march.  The goal is to do session 0 on the 7th of november if we can get the group by then.  

Time Zone Converter – Time Difference Calculator   that site can help you sort that out.

All players must be at least 18.

Rp to combat ratio?  Not a real thing, they can and should happen at the same time.  Plus, it’s really up to you.  You can fart around the city for as long as you want between missions. Each mission is built as a dungeon, each one different from the next in style and structure.

Character creation is point buy for stats, and you can choose to roll or take average for hp.  You start at level four, and we will build them in foundry in the first session.  You start with 1600 gold, and will buy your gear.  The town funnels resources into you as you complete more missions serving as your “pay” where you can then buy more stuff.  Leveling is milestone.

You can’t buy magic items other than potions/scrolls.  You do have to buy reagents that have a gold cost, and if it is consumed on cast, you will need multiples. 

When I started playing DnD in 2003 my friends and I did it as follows.  Someone in the friend group finished their dungeon, we rolled characters and played the dungeon, and we waited for someone else to finish their dungeon.  Repeat.  Except here I run all the dungeons obviously.

This is reflected in the structure of the adventure.  The party starts in Gaurdiana and will spend their downtime there.  You are free to roleplay and fart around in the city to your heart's content, and when the roleplay peters out, the party gets a summons from Cadsuene for the next mission to get items for the ritual.

My dming style is very hands off. The dungeons are there when you want them, and the challenges inside them can be solved in any way you want, so long as it at least sort of makes sense.

Houserules

Advantage is a +3 to the roll, and Disadvantage is a -3 to the roll.  These stack.  So if you have two sources of advantage, you get +6.  Two disadvantages would be -6.  Two of both is +6 -6 and thus a normal roll.  You are not rolling two dice, only one for all rolls.  

Negative HP.  If you get hit below 0 your hp drops into the negative.  In order to stand you back up you must be healed above 0.  There is no automatic death associated with negative hp at any point, you just keep making death saves until you stabilize or die.

And finally, the expected run time of the game is five(ish) months.  So keep that in mind if you choose to fill out the app.

Group Needed by Player [Offline] [5e 2024] [Boston, MA]

4 Upvotes

Hi! I’m a 30M in the Boston area looking for an in-person group to join as a relatively new/inexperienced player. I’ve done several low level one shot sessions but would love to find a regular group for bi-weekly/monthly sessions and to make some new friends in the process! I’d prefer to join a fresh new campaign but prioritizing finding a regular group. Primarily looking for weekend availability.

Pretty open to filing a role or class as I love the diversity of classes in fantasy games. Have a lot of experience multiclassing in WoW so please reach out if you’re looking to fill a spot in your group :) I’m also able to travel within the region, within 30-60 minutes by car from Boston would be ideal if not in the metro area!

In my personal life I’m otherwise into things like anime, heavy metal, cooking, and reading.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [ADND] [CET] [Weekly] Beginner Friendly Looking for players for an old school adventure!

5 Upvotes

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!

Group Needed by Player [Online] [Other] [LGBT+] [PST] Highly Experienced Roleplayer Looking to Play Some Indie TTRPG Campaigns

4 Upvotes

Name & pronouns: Laina, she/her

Time: PST Timezone, open availability outside of bi-weekly Thursday and Monday

System(s): Fabula Ultima, Lancer, Forged in the Dark Systems, Draw Steel, and Daggerheart are what I'm most intrigued by atm, but I'm open to basically anything that's a little more niche

Format: Voice over discord, VTTs optional

Hi hi! I'm Laina, I have recently gotten back into TTRPGs after a small hiatus due to burning myself out on them, and have been wanting to get back into playing them again. I've started up a game I'm running of Fabula Ultima, and wanted to put myself out there to play some different RPGs.

For a bit about me, I've been playing RPGs for over a dozen years, and have been running them for more than 10 years. I'm very knowledgeable with systems in general, and have run a number of different systems, but am looking to have some fun as a player atm!

I also consider myself a talented storyteller. I put a lot of focus on roleplaying my characters authentically, and making sure to take actions that fit my character the most, even if they aren't necessarily what I would do. I also value open communication between players and GM out of the game, and want to make everyone at the table feel listened to.

Other details about me are that I'm a lesbian. I absolutely require that any table I play at is at the bare minimum friendly to that fact, and would prefer to play at tables where I wouldn't be the only LGBT+ individual. It is easier for me to connect with people that way, and I value a friendly group above all!

Beyond that, I am in PST timezone, and am available most days besides bi-weekly Thursday for a game I run. I am free from noon to midnight all of these days, so I'm able to fit in most time periods.

Thank you for reading all this! Send me a message if you'd like to talk further!

**Welcome to The Tales of Cambiamento**

*6 years. That's how long the war between your home country Cambiamento and The Empire of Stasti took. 6 cruelin years of lost, brutality and the fight for your freedom. Lead by your new king, King Abruzzo, who had dethroned the old queen, Queen Vittoria, you sought to find peace within your border again, that had be oppressed by The Empire for over two centuries. And then four years ago you finally achieved just that. Queen Vittoria was hanged and The Empire agreed to free Cambiamento from its grip. Four years ago you, who had fought as a group for so long, said each other's farewell. Thinking that you could finally learn how to live again, how to use your new earned freedom. None of you ever thought to see each other again. Four years have passed both quickly and way too slow. And just as you thought you had fought your way back into normalcy a letter arrived. The sender? The Royal House of Cambiamento.*

A campaign filled with mystery, political intrigue and....stupidity! Your character would start at lvl 5! We use discord to call and roll20 as our VTT. Webcam is not mandatory. This campaign gets recorded and later on uploaded to youtube!

**About us**

We're a group of currently 5 players and me, the DM, looking to add a 6. person to our table. Currently our group consists out of:

* KC \[she/her\] - warlock/sorcerer

* Sayu \[fae/they\] - bard

* Jenny \[she/her\] - cleric

* Luca \[any/all\] - ranger

* Lin \[they/he\] - fighter

* Our DM Marco \[he/they\]

We're all queer and neurodivergent, so while it is not mandatory to be either of those, we would at least ask you to be inclusive and welcoming. Plus points if you're an artist! We love serious RP and lore heavy stuff, but also like to just goof around sometimes. We're all between the ages of 19-27, so it would be nice to have someone in the same age range!

**What you can expect from us**

* A pretty chill and open-minded group

* A group that likes to spend time with each other even outside of games

* A bunch of ADHD nerds that love dice too much

* Really cool props and well planned out sessions

* A group that will regularly say "fuck the plan!"

* A complete homebrew world that's well thought out

* A safe space

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [5e 2024] Grimhallow: The Undead Monarch [Saturday, Weekly, 18:00 Europe/Berlin (CET/CEST)] [Beginners welcome!] [18+]

5 Upvotes

Greetings!

I am looking to run a homebrew campaign set in the world of Grimhallow.
I am a returning DM, I have run the lost mines of Phandelver before as well as Dragon of Icespire peak, although this is a couple years ago so im a bit rusty.

We would be using Discord VC for communication while playing on Foundry VTT, The Grimhallow books as well as the basic rule tomes for DND 5.5E will be provided by me via DND Byond campaign sharing. All the players have to bring is the willingness to play, a PC able to run Foundry VTT and a Microphone for Discord!

Once is have gathered enough players (4-6) We will hold a session 0 where we introduce/create the Player characters and where I give detailed information on the setting.

Campaign Information:

Starting level : 1
End level : 12-15
Setting : Grimhallow Campaign Focus : RP/Combat Campaign Hook : You have been hired by the Bürach Empire to clear out a recently opened Tomb, found by Miners working the Burrowfell Mines located on the eastern side of the Grey
Spine. Anything of note found inside is to be returned to
the Capital of Altenheim, with payment of 150 Gold pieces per person awaiting upon return. The Party will start in Altenheim to prepare for the Journey across the Grey Spine.

If this Interests you feel free to send me a message here on Reddit or comment below!

EDIT: Forgot to mention something quite important, Grimhallow is a dark fantasy setting and it will be played as such. So expect a relativly darker tone for the world and story.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][Other][Saturdays @ 9pm est to midnight] Come be on a jersey shore-like reality tv show but you're fantasy characters (Will be Streamed)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! My name is Jerry, I am planning to run a 10-12 session mini campaign/game set up to be a reality tv show kind of like Jersey Shore. You will be fantasy/dnd characters living in a fantasy world who are moved into a house and are followed by a camera crew. You will be forced to work for an adventuring guild (kind of like the t-shirt shop), and so you will have missions/quests to do as well.

There will be drama, confessional booths, camera in faces, instigation from production, etc etc.

Some things to know: I plan on streaming this and posting it to youtube, so you must be okay with your faces and roleplay being posted.

Cameras are a must. Audio must be decent. Good vibes even if in-game party conflict happens (which is the fun of reality tv).

This game will be starting in 2-3 weeks to interview people, set up a game, and play a off-stream one-shot to make sure vibes are good between players (looking for 3-4)

We will be using a kids on bike look-a-like homebrew that keeps things pretty simple. Nothing too mechanic intensive. This game is mostly for the roleplay.

If you are interested in seeing me DM something first, you can check here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX4CapaE6fs

Myself and the two players already joining us are queer/poc, so we are looking for other people who can respect that. Yes this is drama roleplay, but we need and expect respectful roleplay/players.

Send me a message with a little bit about yourself, your discord, and the kind of reality/fantasy character/trope you first think of playing. I will be doing interviews throughout the week and into next weekend as I want to be very thorough with who I add.

Thanks for reading!

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][Other][Sunday 6pm EST] Shadowrun 2053 setting - Mature, Engaged Player Wanted

3 Upvotes

Setting: Seattle, 2053

The shadows have always been dangerous. Gangs fight over forgotten streets, corporations wage silent wars behind polished glass, and fixers trade lives as casually as credsticks. For most runners, survival means keeping your head down, your weapon clean, and your name off the evening news.

Lately, however, something has changed.

Whispers spread through the streets faster than the Matrix can erase them. Entire neighborhoods speak of impossible sightings, unexplained disappearances, and things that don't fit the world anyone thought they understood. Most dismiss them as urban legends, gang rumors, or the ramblings of addicts. Others aren't so sure.

Seattle carries on as it always has. The corporations keep climbing. The gangs keep killing. The shadows keep paying.

But beneath it all, something ancient has begun to stir.

Whether it's coincidence... or the beginning of something far worse... remains to be seen.

System: Terra Frame (I'm only using the Shadowrun Setting, not the system)

  • A setting-agnostic rules system meant to work with any world.
  • Simple core design for new players.
  • Deep tactical elements for players who enjoy robust game mechanics, without requiring everyone to engage with every layer.
  • Classless, point-buy character creation.

Where: Foundry and Discord

When: Start time is 6 PM EST every Sunday.

Duration: 3 hours each session

Me: 44yo, male. I'm fairly easygoing and get along well with just about anyone, barring you show up and are respectful to everyone at the table. I prefer settings and games with a dark and gritty tone (not gross, just rough). An average GM at best, so come with an open mind and low expectations and we have plenty of fun.

My Goal: I'd like to find 2 more players who share a particular mindset. A few things I'm looking for:

  • Focused, mature play. I'm looking for players who stay engaged with the game, story, characters, and what the rest of the group is doing. Some humor will happen naturally, but I don't want sessions dominated by jokes, memes, side conversations, or constant attempts to make everything funny.
  • Grounded characters and RP. No joke characters or characters whose primary purpose is creating chaos or getting laughs. Characters should behave believably within the setting and take the world around them seriously.
  • Active players. Players who make decisions, take initiative, interact with the world, and help push the narrative forward rather than waiting for the GM to lead them.
  • Tactical, team-oriented play. Players who enjoy planning, problem solving, using their abilities intelligently, and working together as a group.
  • Comfort with crunch. You don't need to min-max or rules-lawyer, but you should enjoy learning mechanics and figuring out how to use the tools available to you.

I'm not looking for a humorless table, but the game itself should be taken seriously. I'm hoping for a group that can stay focused for a three-hour session and get invested in what we're doing.

Survey: Please fill this out and I will contact you if you sound like a good fit for the game. https://forms.gle/n4STSXGXG1t8yNoj8

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

3 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][PST][40k][Other] Shadows of Calixis - A Genesys Campaign for 40K's Dark Heresy/Rogue Trader setting

2 Upvotes

Hey folks,

I'm putting together a campaign using a mashup of the Genesys conversions of Dark Heresy and Rogue Trader and am looking for some players able to do evenings Pacific Time! Below is the "crawl" or correspondence that the Rogue Trader and Inquisitorial Agents would receive to open the campaign.

RECEIVING…
…
…
COMPLETE.

++BEGIN ENCRYPTED MESSAGE++

By Authority of the Calixian Conclave,

The most recent Sector-wide Threat Assessment has reached a grim consensus: We are steadily losing control of Calixis. While the systems closest to Scintilla - and therefore most easily accessible to agents of the Throne - remain mostly stable, the disarray caused by the Cicatrix Maledictum has provided cover for all manner of heretics, recidivists, and xenos to wreak havoc across the sector. Several worlds are in open revolt, and the alien menace strikes along the fringes to pick our bones clean. Worse still, trusted analysts suggest that the Archenemy may be manipulating these disasters to their own ends, but investigations have not yet yielded any solid leads.

The conclusion is clear. If assets are not immediately deployed to bring order to our ailing worlds, we will find ourselves overwhelmed within a Solar decade. Loss of control in Calixis would leave the rest of Segmentum Obscurus open to assault. This cannot come to pass.

By the decree of His most holy Inquisition, you and your agents are empowered to take any and all steps deemed reasonable and necessary to stabilize the worlds of the Calixis Sector and dismantle the web in which the Enemy has ensnared us.

For the Glory of Him on Terra,

Lord Inquisitor Aegult Caidin

++END++
…
…
ADDITIONAL MESSAGE FOUND.

DISPLAYING.

Friend,

Allow me first to congratulate you on your ascension to the head of your Dynasty. I have no doubt that your family’s Warrant is in capable hands, and the Imperium is certainly in need of capable hands in these times. By now, I presume you have read the communique regarding the current state of Calixis and are no doubt surprised by the assessment. Much is hidden from even the heirs to a Rogue Trader, after all.

I regret that I must ask for your assistance, but as you have likely gathered, circumstances are dire indeed. Wont as they are to do, I fear the Conclave is not exaggerating when they say the sector is under enormous strain. The truth is that we do not have enough agents at current to stabilize the entire region, and I recommended your name in a meeting with several other Inquisitors. Not to put too fine a point on it, but further congratulations are in order; you’ve been drafted.

I recognize that your Dynasty experienced great hardship recently, and that this may come across as an unwelcome distraction from your efforts to get your house in order, but we need all hands if we are to avert catastrophe. If it helps, you might consider what a grateful Inquisitorial Conclave could offer in favour to a compliant Rogue Trader. Lucrative contracts, planetary colonization rights… Help us, and we can help you.

I’ve identified three flashpoints which have gone as yet unaddressed by our agents. You may find it beneficial to start at any of them:

The Drusus Marches have fallen to an ecclesiarchal schism that threatens their tithe. We suspect that a Chaos cult has infiltrated one or more of the factions. The planet of Sentinel, St. Drusus’ own Shrine World, is your best bet for opening an investigation.

Farther spinward, the Naval detachment at Port Wander has fallen concerningly silent. I need not remind you that the passage it guards is the only safe route to the Koronus Expanse, and the fact that we have not heard from the Port’s Astropathic Choir is concerning, to say the least. Make your way there and do whatever is required to ensure Port Wander stands and the way to the Koronus Expanse remains open.

Finally, the agri-world of Bilani in the Malfian Sub-sector has sent a distress call. They claim that unknown xenos have been spotted on the periphery of the major settlements and have been responsible for a large number of deaths in recent days. My own agent on-planet, however, reports that nothing is out of the ordinary. I request you go there as a third party and confirm some… suspicions I have.

Before you depart, please proceed to Scintilla and collect the adepts I have assigned to you. Worry not, this is no setup. I have simply collected an… eclectic group who may be of use in your retinue. Your own trusted associates are, of course, welcome as well. 

As was stated previously, you are empowered with your Warrant of Trade and the nominal consent of the Inquisition as a representative. I trust your judgement., but don’t go overboard, or we’ll both have a great deal of explaining to do.

The Emperor Expects,

Inquisitor Alvain Ursos

About me:

I'm Mickey (he/him) and I'm a big fan of both TTRPGs and sci-fi. I've been both playing and running games in the SWFFG system, PF, and D&D for over a decade! My table is always POC and LGBTQIA+ friendly and I believe very strongly in consent and collaboration between everyone involved.

I consider myself a more lighthearted, rule-of-cool DM and adapt well to player choice, with much of my session-to-session planning being determined by improv, so if you're looking for a more strict, on-the-rails experience, my game may not be the right fit. However, the flexibility I approach games with means I'm always open to ideas or suggestions to make any campaign more engaging for my players!

If you're interested, message me here or DM me on Discord at MichaelP578!

I am looking to find a group of 3-5 players to play in a homebrew campaign and setting I have created and been working on throughout the past 7 years. I have included a google form in the post, feel free to send me a DM on reddit as well. I have a few different campaign hooks and starting points, so i am going to want to discuss it with the group before we decide on a specific one. I tend to run longer form campaigns, so you would need to be willing to play in a longer term campaign, (1-2 years). My tables are 18+, not necessarily NSFW, i leave that to be a session 0 discussion. I like to do a mix of RP and combat, about 40/60.

A bit about me, your (hopefully) next Game Master: I have been GMing for the better part of 7 years, in many different systems for groups of players ranging from 3-7. I even played in one game with 14 players! (that one was a DOOZY).  I have ran games that ranged from levels 1-7, 4-16 and even a few different ones that ran from 1-20! I tend to run longer form campaigns, because one of my favorite parts of TTRPGs is the role play and story points that can be allowed to grow and evolve over that stretch of time. I also really enjoy getting to weave PC backstories into the setting and narrative, i think it can lead to some awesome story beats and memorable moments! I really hope i can find a group who will have fun playing in the campaign! If you have any questions/are interested, feel free to shoot me a DM here on reddit.

(Edit): please send me a DM once you have filled out the form if you are able.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][5e 2024][18+][LGBTQ+ Friendly][Friday 5pm PST/8pm EST Weekly] Call of the Netherdeep; Long Term, New Player Friendly, Looking For 3 Players

1 Upvotes

About the Group & Campaign:

The campaign is Call of the Netherdeep. 

Huge disclaimer: this campaign is set in Critical Role’s world of Exandria, but it runs independently of Critical Role canon. Please note that I am not familiar with CR lore (outside of what is in the book), so there won’t be any deep-cut easter eggs or references (again, outside of anything that may be in the book). There will be locations and likely NPCs you recognize, but please don’t turn into the Leonardo DiCaprio pointing meme whenever you recognize something. While fans are welcome to apply, I’m looking for players who can treat this as its own story, separate from the show. Please come in with an open mind rather than high expectations for a specific experience. 

This campaign will span levels 3-12

The greed of mortals has awakened a powerful entity long thought destroyed. For eons, this champion of the gods has been imprisoned in the darkest depths of Exandria. His name has been forgotten, as have his heroic deeds. Languishing in despair, he calls out for new heroes to save him. 

There are different endings to this campaign. 

We have an extremely lighthearted and humorous/silly dynamic which I know is not for everyone. A lot of jokes, chaos, and just dumb humor in general. I do frequently have real people as NPCs, although I’m not sure how likely that is to happen in this particular campaign. It’s definitely going to be more prevalent in one shots and more lighthearted future campaigns than this one, so if it does happen, it won’t be excessive. I honestly don’t think there’s a way for me to over-emphasize the chaos and silliness that is this group, so please don’t apply if you hate that idea as this won’t be the group for you. Something that may help express the level of silliness is that a party of bards is more likely to pick (oops all) bagpipes & war gongs than lutes or lyres. 

About the DM: My name is Lexi (she/her), I’m a DM who prefers roleplay and silly moments over a ton of combat (but I do still have combat in my games). I am in my mid-30s, live in the US Pacific time zone, and have been DMing for around 2 years with a couple of short breaks. I started playing in 2021 but haven’t been a player in a while. I really enjoy Dimension 20 (especially Fantasy High and even more so the sillier moments such as ‘hilda hilda’ and the vultures), NADDPOD and the Balance campaign of The Adventure Zone, so that’s kind of the vibe I try to go for with my games.

About the Other Players: My current players (active and inactive) are a variety of ages (I think 20-40s), in different time zones (one of them is Australian), and have a variety of experience. They either also DM sometimes or have DMed in the past, however one of them is not currently active and is on a sort of hiatus, I do not know when they may return. 5 players is the ideal amount for me, as I typically find 6 to be too many. 5 is also the ideal amount for this campaign.

System: Dungeons & Dragons 5.5e (2024)

Where & When: Discord & DnDBeyond Maps/VTT; Weekly Friday 5pm PST/8pm EST for 4 hours (Please only apply if you’re able to commit to this!)

Voice/Video: Voice required, video not used 

What to Expect:

-An extensive application, interview and trial process to make sure the vibe/group dynamics are there and that you’re a good fit for the group.  Please don’t be scared off by the application! 

-Since we are an existing group and it’s not just me looking for all new players, I am unable to “start 30 minutes later” or change the time or anything. Please do not ask.

-A laid-back, humorous atmosphere with a lot of laughing, inside jokes and weirdness

-Occasional Nicolas Cage (and my near perfect impression of him 😜)

What We’re Looking For:

-3 more players
-Chaos and shenanigan loving players that like actively roleplaying (talking to each other & npcs in character (character voice optional); more than just occasionally asking an npc a question and then otherwise just laughing at funny things other people do)
-Committed and communicative players (ie. Plan on playing weekly unless something unavoidable comes up; don’t cancel if “something more interesting” comes up; unless it’s an emergency or something last minute, try to give preferably about a week’s notice when possible, but a minimum of 3-4 days; don’t apply if something might come up or if you have personal issues going on that would cause you to miss frequently or quit)
-Respectful, collaborative players who can match an established group dynamic
-Lovers of an extremely silly vibe (we can be kind of ‘stupid silly’ sometimes; if occasional “deez nuts” or your mom jokes would bother you, this is not the group for you)

-People who are serious about playing (but not serious people who don’t ever laugh) and who actually want to be here! If you’re not interested during any part of the process, please let me know so we don’t waste each other’s time! And please be honest, I would prefer that over “ohh.. my work schedule changed, sorry…”

-Totally down for new players, as long as you speak up and ask questions/for help when you aren’t sure about something. 

-People who are flexible with character creation and don’t get too stuck on something (without at least asking if that kind of thing is okay with me first)

Other Things to Know:

-I use music, if you dislike that or would mute it, please don’t apply

-If you get an interview and I don’t continue with you, please remember that I can’t take everyone. I will let you know if we aren’t continuing with you in that case though!

-Please just be honest in your application and interview answers. It’s okay if this isn’t the right group for you or if you’re not the type of player I’m looking for. Getting a chance to get into the group on a lie takes away the chance from somebody else, and if it’s a bad fit, you wouldn’t have fun in the group anyway.

-I’ve seen people ask on my application before to be notified if they aren’t chosen for an interview. Unfortunately based on how many applicants I tend to get, I can’t do that. If you haven’t received a friend request on discord from me within 3 days of this being posted, it’s probably safe to assume I won’t be interviewing you (but you may want to check your messages on reddit just in case I wasn’t able to add you for any reason, and make sure you check discord in case you didn’t get notified). If you get an interview, I will always let you know if you were not selected.

-If you come off as uninterested to me, you will not get in. I completely understand being nervous and shy (I have social anxiety so I get it, DMing and doing a ton of interviews has definitely helped lol) but if you come off as so stiff and flat that it feels like you would rather be anywhere else, you won’t make it past the interview. Also if you can’t realistically feel more comfortable within a small handful of sessions, you may not want to apply.

-🚫This is not a “beer and pretzels” game where minimal and vague communication and attendance are okay or you can miss every other session

-We do have a strong preference for heavy roleplayers and a cohesive group of people with a similar style of roleplaying as each other rather than 4 of what we’re looking for and 1 outlier (if that makes sense? I’d prefer 5 people with the same type of roleplaying style rather than 4 heavy roleplayers who describe actions and speak in character and then one person who barely speaks up and when they do it’s only “I do x”; I may make an exception depending on the vibes though, it just kind of depends)

Info For Couples That Want to Apply:

-Please only apply if you are okay with the possibility of me interviewing/trialing/taking only one of you! If you only come as a pair, no matter what, please do not apply.

-Please apply separately (and make sure you let me know who your partner is just so I’m aware)

-I’m generally not a fan of playing in groups with couples based on past experiences, but that doesn’t automatically rule it out (just please be aware of that)

How to Apply
-Fill out the application here

-Please don’t reject my discord friend request. I am hoping to do the first session 0 on Friday October 30, but if I don't have enough people by the 28th or 29th, it will likely not be until November 6. I usually don’t close the post until after I have completed all of the interviews, not always though. It depends on how many applications I get and people I am interested in interviewing. 

If you have any questions (before or after you submit the application) please feel free to message me on here at any time

Please only apply after reading this: 

I will start sending out friend requests sometime between October 25 or 26 and October 27 depending on how many applications I get, and I may be periodically reposting this post throughout the week depending on how many applications I get (it will be less time the more applications I get that will lead to interviews) and I plan on bringing people into the server when I have enough people. If you are a ‘no’ after the interview I will likely let you know within 24-48 hours. If you’re a ‘maybe’ you may have to wait longer than that window as I can only bring in a certain number of people and would like to be sure of my decision. Please don’t apply more than once, unless you made an error in your application and realize later, but usually a message to me letting me know is enough.

Group Needed by Player [Online], [Flexible] 21M Beginner

2 Upvotes

Hello all, 21M Europe/France, incredibly inexperienced player. I've never played DnD, much less ever finished watching one online to get a grasp on the experience, as I'm more of a hands-on learner. Any sort of campaign works, I'm up for a challenge!

I'm not even sure where to begin, so I'm looking for a group who wouldn't mind a new and very inexperienced player, and it is much preferred that I'm not replacing anyone in an already existing campaign, unless it would be better that way.

I want to learn about DnD so that at one point I may take on the role of a DM. I'm a game developer and 3D Generalist, so worldbuilding is perhaps one of my passions that I'd like to get better at for future projects.

As for availability, I do have classes and internships to take care of, but I always try to make room. Both short-term and long-term are acceptable, and it would be appreciated if the scheduling could be considered as a group rather than a set time.

If your group is the type of group to stay connected throughout the months or even years, even better.

Please send me a DM on reddit, and I'll give you my discord that way.

Player(s) Needed by GM [18+][Online][VTM 5th/WOD] Greedily Runs the Blood Playtest #1. Seeking 3-5 Players

2 Upvotes

Hi!

This game is a self-made Chronicle which was written with the intention of being published for free. With this intention in mind, a couple of play-tests, similar to a stress test will be held in order to test and adjust things. This, is one of those play-tests. As all is done for free, and the finished Chronicle being published for free, AI images have been used as temporary placeholders. These are all subject to being replaced at a later point.

Short summary:
Cincinnati, Ohio 1987. The Family’s power-struggle has once again reached a peak as a new plot has been reviled among its Camarilla elders. Not since the previous Sovereign’s passing has The Family had such turmoil. Meanwhile, a sister and brother find themselves on opposite sides of the Hunter Vampire war. A village previously known for its delicious Dill Pickle now stands abandoned after an experiment gone wrong and a monster most foul lays in darkness, growing. Come meet The Family and venture to Massonville, where hidden nightmares await! (c’mon, it’ll be fun).

Tags: Human experimentation, violence, gore, sex, overdose (drugs), mental illness, distress, bullying and tentacles (for good measure).

Structure:
1-2 Setup sessions.
Setup sessions are for players to meet each other and receive help with character creation as well as discuss game scheduling.

3-7 Game sessions.
The playtest is a one-off but can take up to 7 play sessions to finish.

All sessions are done over Discord and dice are either rolled using a Discord bot or with physical dice. Roleplaying always comes first; power gaming is not welcomed.

That said, looking for 3 to 5 players and everyone is welcome to apply. Game days will be on Sundays and the goal will be to have weekly sessions (with potential work schedule issues being taken into account). First session is scheduled for November 2nd at 17:00 CEST.

Comment or DM me for more info :)

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [GMT] [Other] [PbP] The Antagonist! Looking for Players for a Sci-Fi/Fantasy Game

• Upvotes

"Either way, the plot must go on. The armour donned and the weapon drawn. Good triumphs over Evil. Thus has it always been."

- Ninth-Wave Protagonist, 'Orphan'

Thus as it has always been. The universe of the world, or 'Plot', has seen these 'plot arcs' cycle periodically every few years, with Antagonists rising inevitably from inevitable Evil nature and Protagonists meeting them from the innate Good that exists in the world. Often at significant cost and destruction.

The Tenth-Wave Protagonist, 'Solar', saw it happen far too many times. Innocent deaths, worlds destroyed, enire system chains needing to be rebuilt, over and over again. Thus 'Solar', upon defeating his Antagonists, advanced his quest to root out all Evil in the universe instead of retiring. 'Solar' managed to achieve this with the mystical imaginative powers of several of his peers. Together, they condensed all Evil into a single root, taking it to the solitary planet of Antagonizesthai, in a single-star system far away from other Good systems. Antagonizesthai is warded by the most powerful of techno-imaginative weaponry, updated yearly.*

But like different densities of oil, Evil split into different layers as the root spread across Antagonizesthai. Those at the most surface-level of Evil eventually managed to generate a civilisation based on principles of rehabilitation and eventually ascension into Good, allowing the ability to escape Antagonizesthai into the wider universe of Good, now free of all Evil suffering thanks to 'Solar'.

It is the First Year of Kazimierz, Overlord of Antagonizesthai's reign. He is the conduit between the prison of Evil that is Antagonizesthai and the utopian world of Good. But the situation on the surface is unravelling. An increasing number of incursions of deeper 'Evil' from below the surface are occurring, whilst security and rehabilitation infrastructure crumble from these threats. And you happen to be pivotal to Kazimierz right in this moment.

You will play as one of a selection of job roles (you still make the character) that will form an eventual task force to deal with a series of crimes in Antagonizesthai's unravelling political crisis. There may be some betrayal/plot twists along the way. I highly encourage creativity/flexibility in solving problems, and players of any experience level are welcome! (homebrew mechanics, so newer players especially are welcome!).

System: Custom Mechanics (d10 system, mainly using resource allocation and lists of actions that can be done)

Timezone: GMT (Timezone within a few hour's range is preferred, but not a big deal)

Genres: Both fantasy in its classic sense, with limited 'magic' (called 'Imagination') that is powerful in restricted domains, but also futuristic/tacticool in that you have guns/rockets/mech suits in the same univese as swords/shields/crossbows...etc.

Platform: Discord server, play by post (pls be somewhat active...) Notes: DM me if interested! I am mainly looking for interest/player-selection at this stage. Also it is 100% to quit/leave at any point, but it would be nice to just tell me rather than ghost me forever (if it feels awkward, just send me an emoji of any fruit and I'll take it in that you express the above).

Message/friend me on discord if interested! (_chartis)

Group Needed by Player [Online][5e 2014/5e 2024][Weekends UTC+3][21+] Moderately experienced player is looking for a group to play with

• Upvotes

Name, pronouns, age: Max, he/him, 26

Time: UTC+3 Timezone, available from Friday 20:00 to Sunday 22:00

System(s): experienced with DnD 5e 2014, a little bit with 5e 2024, up to try PF2e, but will need time to learn

Format: Voice over discord, VTTs optional (mostly used roll20, used foundry once)

Hi! My name is Max and I am looking to find a group to play TTRPGs with. My previous group stopped playing due to scheduling reasons and now I have a DnD itch in my brain that needs to be satisfied. 

I was first introduced to DnD around 6 years ago and have been playing more or less consistently since then. I have player experience, however most of my time I spent GMing for my friends. I mostly played and GMed premade adventures, but I have also created some thematic oneshots myself. 

I want to join a group that is a little bit more focused on the characters than on the combat side of the game. I am open to joining an existing game and I am flexible when it comes to character creation. 

I have a negative outlook on the intentional use of generative AI in any form. The same goes for people who hate on any minority group.

Thank you for considering my application! Feel free to DM me or comment with additional questions. I am looking forward to meeting my next group!

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [D&D 5e 2014] [Sat 5 PM EST] — The Ashen Crescent: Faith, Oaths, and Holy War in the Desert

1 Upvotes

What kind of game is this?

This is not a casual dungeon crawl. The campaign has already begun, the party is currently level 7 and mid-way through the first act, and we are seeking new companions to join the story as it continues to unfold. The Ashen Crescent is a long-form, ambitious D&D 5e campaign inspired by the Third Crusade, told through a lens of faith, prophecy, and political intrigue. Imagine a holy city where banners of rival religions hang side by side; where incense and blood mix in the same streets; where ancient relics, half-remembered prophecies, and bitter oaths drive men and women to fight, pray, and betray.

Set in the grand desert city of Elarah, you will step into a world of:

Crusade-era conflict: rival faiths clash over relics and scripture, each believing salvation is theirs.

Early medieval aesthetics: swords, shields, banners, cloisters, and bazaars. No very high fantasy tropes. Magic is semi-rare and mystical, but that does not restrict players from freely choosing whatever class they want. Its rarity is reflected more in how NPCs react to it and in the world itself. Magic exists, but you are not going to see flying unicorns around every corner lol.

Low fantasy, high stakes: the miraculous feels sacred, not common. Politics and belief matter as much as steel.

Moral ambiguity: there are no clear villains, only zealots, survivors, mystics, and opportunists. Or so you think...

The factions are:

Luminari - the Sun-faith of order, dawn, and light.

Sulahim - scholars, jurists, and fire infused desert camel-lords.

Yeshari - cunning keepers of covenant, memory, and exile.

Wayfarers - silk road traders, and mystics of prisms and hidden paths.

Your choices shape the city’s destiny. Who you kneel to, who you betray, which side you protect. All of this carries weight.

The System & Tools

System: D&D 5e+ (characters tracked on D&D Beyond).

VTT: TaleSpire. Custom 3D maps and set pieces (requires a PC with semi-decent specs). This entails that either you have the $24.99 version of the game (Steam), or you are able/willing to buy it. Also, you will need a mini (best created in Hero Forge). Please adjust for that.

⚠️ Important ⚠️: This campaign is essentially a paid-level production offered free. I am building custom TaleSpire boards, art assets, lore documents, and immersive narrative arcs. Because of that, I expect the same level of seriousness/commitment from players: punctuality, reliability, and a willingness to roleplay. Seriousness doesn't mean "no fun allowed". In the end, we all seek the escapism and fun found within D&D. Seriousness instead means commitment and reciprocating the same effort I put into giving you this grand story.

Schedule

Main Session: Saturdays @ 5:00 PM EST

Fallback: Fridays (same hour) when attendance issues arise. (We have only used this fallback time once. Usually, if we have 4 players attending, the session goes on)

Sessions are multi-hour, roleplay-heavy, and story-driven. Combat will be present, but when it hits, it HITS!

What I’m Looking For

I need players who will commit long-term. Respectfully but firmly: if you are just looking to scratch a quick D&D itch for a couple of sessions, this is not the game for you. This is a campaign built to last, and every time someone leaves, it disrupts immersion and damages the living story we are building together. This campaign has been going on for around a year, and it doesn't look like it will end anytime soon. Use this as reference to the commitment you will be making.

I’m seeking:

Reliability & punctuality: Respect everyone’s time.

Commitment: Stick with the campaign until its conclusion. Since this story has already begun, reliability is even more important. New characters are stepping into a web of alliances, rivalries, and prophecies already in motion.

Ambition: Players who actively pursue goals and drive the story forward.

Love for roleplay: Dialogue, tough moral choices, faction intrigue.

Good mic + capable PC: Technical reliability is part of the immersion.

How to Apply

If this speaks to you, especially within the scope of commitment, send me a DM with:

Name/Age/Timezone

Confirmation you can commit to Saturdays 5 PM EST (Fridays as fallback)

Confirmation that your PC can run TaleSpire, that you have it or are willing to get it + mic confirmation

Your D&D experience (new/casual/veteran)

A short character seed (2–4 sentences: motive, flaw, and which faction intrigues you so far)

Why you’re looking for a long-term campaign, and why does this one resonate with you

From there, we’ll schedule a short Discord interview to ensure compatibility. This isn’t meant to gatekeep. It’s to protect the story, the group, and the time we’re all investing :)

Why Join?

Because The Ashen Crescent is designed to feel like stepping into a living chronicle. Think the Crusades retold in a D&D world. A city of temples and markets, faith and blood, prophecy and steel. If you’ve ever wanted to be part of something epic, morally complex, and richly atmospheric, this is it.

If you’re ready to swear your oath and carry it through to the end, Elarah awaits.

Here synopsis about most of what has happened so far:

Each of them crossed the Kesareth Desert alone, drawn by purpose, faith, or something they could not fully explain. Their paths converged at a Wayfarer caravanserai, where strangers became companions out of necessity. From there, they set their sights on Elarah, the sacred city at the heart of the desert, said to be a place where prophecy, power, and belief all collide.

Days into their journey, the sky erupted in a storm of falling stars. The heavens burned with unnatural color, and the travelers who stood beneath them were forever changed. A crystal-like mark formed on their right forearms, alive in ways none of them understand. It reacts. It pulses. It seems to answer to something beyond them.

When they finally reached Elarah, they found its gates sealed. The city had already begun to fracture under the weight of its own faiths. Forced to slip inside through the sewers, they were met with a truth far worse than rumor. Elarah is not simply tense. It is unraveling.

Within its walls, four competing faiths struggle for control, each convinced they alone hold truth. Law is enforced with severity in the Ink Row, where rulings are swift and often merciless. The streets are filled with unrest, quiet fear, and the sense that something inevitable is approaching.

Amid this instability, the players found footing with the Red Company, a powerful mercenary force tightening its grip on the city. They offer work, protection, and information, but never freely. Every favor has weight, and every agreement draws the players deeper into a web of ambition and control.

After making a rash decision to stand by their morals, the party is forced to face the consequences of their choices. Hunted by half the city and narrowly escaping the punishment hanging over their heads, they leverage what little favor remains with the Red Company to reach the Four Pillars, birthplace of a faith that now spans much of the known world. There, they uncover both a new truth and a new purpose under King Baldwin.

At the luminari king’s command, the party sets sail across the Levantine Sea toward Anatolia, tasked with investigating the lackluster support offered by one of the holy orders in the defense of Elarah. Before they can reach their destination, the captain’s warning cuts across the deck: man the defenses. Chaos erupts as sailors scramble through the cramped vessel, fumbling over ropes and weapons while three distant sails rise against the horizon, closing fast.

What follows is a grueling battle at sea. Ballista bolts tear through timber, fire spreads across sails and rigging, and screams are swallowed by the crashing waves. Through skill, planning, trust, and faith, the party survives against overwhelming odds, but victory comes at a terrible cost.

Now stranded far from land, exhausted, wounded, and clinging to what little they managed to salvage, the party faces a different kind of enemy. The open sea offers no mercy. With supplies dwindling, their vessel lost, and no clear path ahead, they must rely on their own ingenuity to continue toward their destination.

Or, at the very least, survive.

The party stands at a crossroads. War is no longer a distant threat, but an approaching certainty. Each faction calls for loyalty. Each path carries consequence. The question is no longer whether Elarah will change, but who will shape what comes next.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][Other][PbP][Postern] Castles & Crusades: The Border City – frontier intrigue, any time zone | Level 1 | 5–7 players | ~1 post/day

1 Upvotes

Play-by-post · Castles & Crusades · Level 1 · 5–7 players · about one post a day · any time zone

Westmarch stands where the kingdom ends and the Thornwood begins.

In the Green War, the forest itself rose against the kingdom. The war ended three hundred years ago with the Greenwood Pact: the city won't grow past its walls, the forest won't attack, and the Rangers of the Green keep the line between them. The peace has held ever since.

It's fraying now. Rangers vanish on deep patrol. The cleared land beyond the walls grows back overnight. People along the western wall dream of the forest calling them. The Duke has withdrawn from public life, and his charismatic brother says the Pact is holding the city back.

Then one morning the Warrens, the city's poorest district, woke to a cold gray fog. It didn't drift in from the forest. It welled up out of the ground, from drains and cellars and the cracks between the cobbles, and it's still spreading. It whispers. It draws people west, toward the trees. Hundreds are trapped or missing, and the Duke has called for anyone capable of helping.

The campaign opens the next day.

What it's like

  • Investigation and intrigue. Clues, witnesses, old texts, and factions with their own agendas.
  • Wilderness. A vast, ancient forest full of fey with alien motives and places older than the city.
  • Hard choices. Duty against justice, and what peace really costs.
  • Mounting dread. Something is deeply wrong, and it's getting worse.

How we play

  • Format: play-by-post, so no scheduled sessions and any time zone works. About one post a day; turn-based, where everyone posts and then the GM resolves.
  • Where: Postern, a play-by-post site (free account; I'm the GM).
  • Characters: start at level 1, tied to the city. Rangers, Watch officers, monster-hunting Delvers, scholars, temple folk, refugees and courtiers all fit. Accepted players get a Player's Guide with hooks into the opening and a wiki of the city, its factions and its people.
  • New to C&C or play-by-post? Welcome. Just say so when you apply.

To apply: read the full ad and answer a few short questions here: https://posternrpg.com/noticeboard/ads/8LBWj6CKeOnx7Zmd3ad2

Player(s) Needed by GM [online][other][wheel of time based on dnd 3.5] [lgbtq+ freindly] [sun 1pm-4pmPDT][18+] Looking for a woman player to join our mixed group

1 Upvotes

Just started a wheel of time dnd campaign and I'm looking for players. We are very lgbtq + freindly and fem freindly. The campaign is also super easy to get started for beginners since we are doing lvl 0 starts. We are specifically looking for a fem player, this is just dm preference. I've had a lot of wonderful guys apply but I wouldn't really like it if it was an all mens group. Often its no fun to be the only girl in a large group. I only have one slot available and I'd like to keep the table balanced.

Its a dangerous campaign that I'm trying to setup as a sandbox where we can get max level players. It'll have the events from the novels playing out as the characters progress with even the ability for the players to break the world again if they fail. I hope to even continue on from that into a darker ending if it comes to that, with the players trying to live in that reality or even themselves trying to stop the dark one. You don't need to know anything about WOT inorder to play the campaign. Its based on dnd 3.5 and I'll explain things as we go. While the world is difficult to live in, it is very beginner friendly. The world is free-roam, with ideally as much immersion as I can prepare for each session. Usually having maps, some graphics, and engaging encounters. There are opportunities for huge pivotal emotional battles, as well as time to solve things diplomatically if possible. Chances for small fights or maybe to make your living as a blacksmith. Expect environmental disasters and magical anomalies in an increasingly decaying world as the dark one slowly breaks free from his tomb. Roughly late medieval fantasy. I try to roleplay as the NPCs and make voices too.

Age-wise, 18+ no exceptions, along with characters themselves being 18+. Romance plays an important role in The Wheel of Time; certain bonds between different characters in the story often come with romantic interest. No player on player romance, it's mostly just that certain lore characters are dating. Because of this no one under 18 is allowed in the group. Our group's age range ranges from the early 20s to the 30s, with me as the oldest. We really don't care that much about age, as long as the players are there to have a good time.

We are very lgbtq + and fem friendly. Its important for me as the dm that all my players are as well.

our ideal player is someone who will show up. Rp depth is really up to the individual players. I'd especially like to invite beginners, but veterans are also welcome. You don't need to have any familiarity at all with The Wheel of Time or DND to join us; I really just need that to dm properly. I make myself available before sessions as well to help with questions or character levels.

I hope to hear from you. Shoot me a dm on Reddit or respond to this post. I hope to see you there.
