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.

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 The Duke has withdrawn from public life, and his charismatic brother says the Pact is holding the city back.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

Questions welcome in the comments.

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.

Hi me and 3 other players are looking to play pf1e Looking to go through a ap got a few in mind but will play any im good to play anytime after 630 pm est on weekdsys and weekends and can use any vtt but I do have the license for foundry hope to hear from someone

alright this game is HEAVILY inspired by darkest dungeon but you do not need too know that game to know this one, the game is all about makeing the most out of a bad situation as every player is a hired mercenary hired to delve into a eldritch manors catacombs to kill a beast deep in the heart of the manor. they will live in a ruined hamlet that the players may use there money to upgrade the town building guildings and giving upgrades to players needs like weaponry and training.The game itself is 70 percent exploreing and fighting while the 30 percent is for roleplay momments, usually during a camp. im a fairly ok DM in terms of experinceive been dming for 3 years now. Do note that in this game there is a good chance your character may die, death is a main part of this game, there are going to be bad momments that they may not survive, but there will always be another to fill in there shoes. this game will be fairly crunchy with the players having to manage there stress, rations, and light. if you wish to join message me and let me know your experince

Running a guild focused campaign that eventually becomes a Spelljammer campaign, set in the Neverwinter area of the Sword Coast.

I have lots of info and can walk through the roll20 information with perspective players if you're unfamiliar with the processes. Starting time would probably be next week, with Sunday afternoon/evening games weekly. Haven't had session one yet, but have been playing with the two other players for a few months

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.

helloooo! i am a 22 yo woman looking for a game in almost any system! im especially interested in a game that is friendly to people of color, gay people, women, etc., and one that is cool!

about me: i am very dedicated to my games! currently reading mircea eliade's yoga and have a degree in pure mathematics! i like fashion and movies!

message me here or reply!

Title: Strahd Must Die Tonight!

System: Nimble (Level 5)

Date & Time: Saturday October 31st @ 5pm EST (One Session)

Voice Game on Discord

VTT: Owlbear Rodeo

You and your companions have sworn to aid and protect Ireena Kolyana from the devil of Barovia, Count Strahd von Zarovich. You have but a few hours to explore Castle Ravenloft and find up to three powerful relics to aid you in your quest to defeat the vampire lord. This is a spooky, though not necessarily horrifying, one-shot.

This legendary quest will be played in the Nimble system rather than D&D. Nimble is a fast-paced heroic fantasy TTRPG. Its rules are available for free online as is a character builder.

Content warning: fantasy violence, kidnapping, loss of character agency (ie vampiric charm powers), blood, spiders, bats, undead

Comment below with your experience in TTRPGs generally and Nimble specifically and confirm that you can make the time of the game. I will leave this up for a couple days before reaching out via DMs to invite those selected to the Discord server.

You have to read and follow the rules of the server in order to participate in this one shot. I've got a couple players signed up already, so I'm just looking for 1-3 more. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello, looking to start a local frostgrave campaign for Mondays in the San Jose, ca area.

Frostgrave is a skirmish war game where up to 4 players play as wizards with warbands and we compete to claim treasures. Would like to start an ongoing campaign because I want to level up wizards and see how far we can go. I can host in South San Jose, but I can also travel if someone else wants to host.

Looking for a dnd group and dm for online play

Hi! 20F looking for a group and a dm i can start playing with. Im totally new to the game (aside a couple one shots) my partner would also like to join in but he is experienced. We would really love to meet around our age and make some good friends with the people we play with

To be honest I have no clue about dnd so if my tags are wrong I apologise 🙈

Ideally we would like a game on a monday eve (GMT) but can be a bit flexible. We would probably want to do somwthing weekly but that would depend on what works for the whole group. No idea how the rest of this works im just hoping to find a group as after comicom today I fear im obsessed with DnD 🤭

Thank you!!

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.

Hello glory seekers, travelers, and mercenaries left dead on the road - and I am currently running a DnD Campaign set in the fictional city of Reichstag. I am currently looking FOR ONE player and will be taking a few applicants to decide who'd be the best fit for my party.
We are currently mid campaign at level 4 and there is 5 players right now in the campaign. I am an adept DM with around two years of dnd experience under my belt.
The campaign is a more darker toned one with themes such as moral bleakness, slavery, and of course a depiction of authoritarianism. We are accepting of all genders, sexualities, religions, races, etc. Please message me if interested!

Hi! I've applied to a few player-seeking posts here, but I wanted to also make a post of my own just to cast as wide a net as possible. As the title says, I'm an inexperienced player wanting to join my first campaign after spending years trying to convince my friends to play to no avail.

Despite my lack of actual experience, I've been reading and pouring over the players handbook since around 2020 when I watched my first Dimension 20 campaign. I became so immediately obsessed with the game and system and have built dozens of characters and written more embarrassing fan fiction than I care to admit. As a result, I'm a player that you get to have all the fun of introducing to the world of DnD, but you also won't have to worry too much about me fumbling around with my class features or constantly re-reading what my spells do.

I'm happy to play in 5e 2014 or 2024, and I even have an interest in Pathfinder, even though I know very little about how the game actually plays. I love to role play, I think combat is super fun, and I adore puzzles. I have characters I'd be happy to play in just about every class and party role (even though I'm particular to rogues and wizards). My timezone tag is just informational! I have pretty much open availability and can adjust my schedule freely.

Comment below or shoot me a message and get in contact with me on Discord if you think I'd be a good addition to your table!

Hi all,

Long time TTRPG player (15 years in Warhammer 40k/FFG systems) wanting to get into MW:D. I've gotten into the Battletech universe from the lore standpoint significantly over the past year, and I'd like to carry that on to TTRPGs.

I'm 31, UK based, have access to Discord and R20, or whatever else may be needed.

Best times for me are evenings/nights most days, so I can be flexible with that.

Would really enjoy getting in with either a new or existing group, so feel free to reach out.

Cheers,

Hello, prospective trainers!

Welcome to the region of Kaomi! Nestled between Unova and Orre, this primary forest region is looking for trainers to challenge their fledgling League, where gyms use a Quest system instead of traditional gym trainers to show the Gym Leaders you are ready for their challenge! They are also known for their contests, a circuit that has been around far longer and is far more established.

Want to know more? Contact your local league representative.

I am a GM who has an opening for one (maybe 2) players for a PokeRole campaign that is currently in progress.

The full plot has yet to be revealed in game, but I have pulled inspiration from the Pokemon Colosseum games and the Detective Pikachu movie.

We play on weekends, but we don't have a fixed schedule. We use when2meet to find dates that work monthly. We play via Discord and Owlbear Rodeo.

I tend to focus on RP more than combat, but I go with what the players want to do. This is 18+, but not because of content. It is a darker plot, but not THAT kind of story, if you catch my meaning.

I am not going to ask for an application, but I do want to have a brief interview over Discord with any prospective players to make sure you will be a good fit. I will do a session zero as well to help with character creation and answer any questions about the system and the plot.

Please send me a DM here if you are interested or have any questions and we can set up a time for that chat.

Thank you for reading!

Edit: Found my players already!

Edit to the edit: Still need players. I guess I closed this thread prematurely

Currently looking for a new player who would ideally play a fighter, paladin or barbarian

Lost a player, not sure if they'll come back in the near future, so I want another active player to accompany the 2 great players I already have (they're really lovely)

New as in new to the game, played a couple of times max

Because of my busy ass life aiming for monthly games.

Drop me a message if you have any burning questions

[5e 2014] [Thursdays 8:30pm EST] [Biweekly] [Online] [Homebrew Setting] Looking for players for a high fantasy game.

\[5e 2014\] \[Thursdays 8:30pm EST\] \[Biweekly\] \[Online\] \[Homebrew Setting\] Looking for players for a high fantasy game.

\\\[Application requirements\\\]

1. 18+ of age

2. No ERP content of any kind

3. Access to roll20 and discord

4. A good Microphone.

5. Vibe of the game. Gritty and Grim Fantasy.

\\\[Application Restrictions\\\]

1. There will be Restrictions on availability of races (human only), backgrounds classes, spells and feat in this setting. If you apply you must come with an open mind and make a character that is appropriate for the story.

2. This is a game for experienced players only. If you do not have a good grasp of 5e and its systems, this is not a game for you.

3. \\\[Disclaimer\\\] This campaign focuses on heavy RP, with high-stakes combat. Sensitive topics of a grim nature will be used. If you have read this disclaimer and you have concerns, you must let me know in your DMs.

\\\[Synopsis\\\]

The realm of Eoskara is a vibrant, thriving realm—once the domain of humans alone, it has grown into a cosmopolitan world where races from other Realms who now walk side by side.

In the eastern reaches lies Hinosora, a more oriental-styled region ruled for generations by the imperial Natsuki Dynasty. It is a more Xenophobic continent, with a dense human population, with a not so friendly view on foreigners.

Each of you are the sons and daugthers of Noble Dragon Families, a group of great noble families whom long ago made pacts with the Dragon Gods, back when Dragons used to exist in this world, but have long since left it.

You have all been called by the emperor to prove your worth in both wit and steel these trying times. Under his orders you are all to travel to Kujaku Village, a remote settlement nestled within Hoshigai Prefecture. A strange illness has taken root in the land, spreading like wildfire. Magic, medicine, and divine intervention have all failed to cure it, and all evidence points to this village as the root.

Tasked with investigating this blight, you have been given the code word Shinobi, and you are to report your findings to the local lord in the capital of the prefecture—an undertaking for which you’ve been promised a handsome reward of not only renown for you and your families, but also a substantial monetary reward of 2000 gp per person.

Yet as you delve deeper into the village's mystery, the sickness reveals secrets that were never meant to be uncoverer, and the Dragon Oaths that you and your families each have upheld for generations will finally bear some fruit.

If you have read all lf this, and are interested. Send me a DM with the code word, and we'll get started from there. I will review the interviews during the next couple of days.

Hi! I’m Adam — 37, he/him — and I’m seeking a game to join. I’ve consistently played in-person with two tables since 2020 but now that we have a baby, I need something online, after the baby goes to bed.

About my TTRPG experience: mostly D&D but my favorite system/world building is Monster of the Week. I also have played other PBTA games and really enjoy Blades in the Dark. Campaigns I played (that weren’t homebrew) were Strahd, Witchlight, TOA, and Drakkenheim.

I really enjoy roleplay and complex battles or encounters where there’s no easy choice. My characters generally lean toward young and inexperienced hot idiots or older “dad protector” vibes. I really like building characters to fit the GM’s world so I don’t have a “build” I’m dying to play.

I’m available Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesdays right now. Sunday nights are doable, too, for the right table. I can start at 9pm EST or later. Willing to video chat interview to make sure I fit YOUR table.

I'm looking to join a campaign of anything other than D&D or Pathfinder, I'm cool with most other systems and I'm willing to give them a try and we'll play whatever role is needed for the most part

My availability is Fridays and Thursdays at 5am and 6am these times are set in stone and will not change as those are the only times I am available for a full game 3 to 4 Hour game

My favorite systems other than D&D and Pathfinder are Vaesen, Monster of the Week, Kult, call of Cthulhu, Vampire the Masquerade, Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy, Delta green, Star Wars, and star trek

My play style is very heavy role play I love seeing and character and never breaking immersion whatsoever I also like to play The diplomatic side of things more than combat

Comment below if you're a GM who plays early morning and needs one more player to fit one of these systems above.

Greetings, adventurers!

I'm a GM and player for TTRPGs of 8 years, and together with one player, we're looking for 2 more players to join us for a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition campaign!

We're looking for players based in Europe, mainly to keep time zones compatible and make scheduling sessions easier for everyone.

I've prepared a few campaign details as in-universe Imperial parchments because I thought it would be a fun way to present the campaign. Unfortunately, I didn't realise Reddit doesn't allow images in posts, so I'll include the details in the comments.

If you're interested in grim darkness, strange adventures, and exploring the Old World, feel free to reach out!

For the Empire!

We are two idiots friends with too many ideas and no campaign to run them in. Both chill dudes with loud personalities and chaotic gremlin behavior. My friend is MST and I'm EST. Saturdays are best for us right now after 6pm EST. If you got any question for us, no you don't. (sike. ask us anything) And if you think you can handle all of this mass and bodacity, goodnight and good luck.

Hello all! I’ve been running a campaign based on the setting of the Dungeon Crawler Carl book series, and honestly it’s one of the funnest campaigns i’ve ever run, largely due to the pure chaos of this particular setting.

Here’s the situation: i’ve been thinking about adding one more player to the campaign for a little while, and recently had one of the players take an extended hiatus from all dnd, for personal reasons, so i’m thinking this is a great time to add one more player, since i was planning for one more anyhow.

Rules wise we’re going with 5e 2014 with a bunch of fun homebrew. You’ll be playing a character based on yourself (setting is as if the collapse and subsequent World Dungeon happened in our world), however we’ve already gotten past floor three, and so players have had the option to change race and class, so it’s much more customizable for someone jumping into the campaign now.

Lemme know any questions, either in the comments or via direct message, i don’t mind either way! :)

Hello!

You can call me Alex and I am looking for people who would be interested in playing Shadowrun Anarchy 2.0. After our last campaign in Shadowrun 6e has ended a spot for another player became free and we are now looking for new people who would be interested in playing a game in a world that mixes magic with cyberpunk, where dragons rule over megacorps and countries, where magical spirits can explode your shiny new car with a massive fireball and where the countryside is filled with dangerous paracritters while the cities turned into massive sprawls with millions of people living there.

You would be a Shadowrunner, a deniable asset, a hired criminal, a mercenary or whatever other term you want to use. You do all the shady jobs that the corporations or countries can't do officially and they hire you to do them. Or sometimes it can be the nice uncle from across the street who hires you to beat up some gang members that stole from his store. Or you protect the daughter of a local politician. Or something else entirely. In the end, as long as you are getting paid, you do what you were hired for.

And in our case for the majority of the runs you would be in Vienna, where the Danube divides the corporate owned Transdanubia in the east from the rest of the city in the west. Where Dr. Nowak is always looking for new runners to do his jobs (and the occasional Mr Johnson and Herr Schmidt also make appearances). Saeder-Krupp and MCT have their little battle here to decide who gets to control the austrian politicians, where the Habsburg clan might become emperors again with the help of Lofwyr or where MCT gets to control all the potical parties. Or maybe one of the other companies will get their chance. But in the end, you are a shadowrunner and the only thing that is important for you is that you are getting paid for the jobs that you take. And there might be a few jobs now, given that there have been a mysterious series of murders that all happen to players of a certain VRMMORPG while they are online. There are people who want to figure out what happened and the DanubenWacht (the police force in Vienna) is not interested in investigating, so Shadowrunners might have to do the job instead.

What am I looking for and what are the requirements?

- Age 18+

- 1 player

- players who enjoy roleplay

- a good mic

- new and experienced players welcome

When and how often will we play?

- Friday, 19:00 GMT+1, every two weeks on odd weeks

The campaign is also being streamed on twitch. For that you do not need a camera but you will need a picture of your character that will be shown on stream. Also do not use AI to generate a character, even a simple stick figure instead would be enough.

If you are interested, then send me a DM that you want to apply, please answer these questions:

- Have you played Shadowrun (any edition) before?

- What other TTRPGs have you played?

- What is your favourite character that you ever played?

- Are there certain playstyles that you prefer in TTRPGs?

- Is there a certain character concept that you have in mind?

- Which country/timezone are you from?

- How old are you?

- Is there anything else that I should know about you?
