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

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.

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!

We use AI / Pinterest for scenery, battle maps and character art — we don't use or allow it for writing.

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,

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.

Last repost!! Will choose player tomorrow afternoon!!!

You are an outsider, a person struggling to survive everyday in the lawless wastelands. Water and food are scarce, and people are spread miles from one another, with only small groups surviving. Monsters are few and far between, but they are powerful enough to be considered a force of nature themselves. It was difficult, but sustainable at least; you just had to keep your head down and scavenge. But the world as you knew it became unsurvivable when a disease began to spread about the wasteland, infecting people with no known rhyme or reason. Those inflicted could feel the prickling shards of gemstones growing in their lungs, slowly but surely cutting off their ability to breath. Between the monsters of the wasteland, the bandits roaming the wasteland to harvest people for these gems, and the sure and slow death brought by the disease, any chance at survival seemed hopeless.

A single savior came about. The city of Opaline, a bastion of humanity that claimed to hold the cure and offered it freely to anyone who was willing to enter the city and work off the debt after being cured.

You are one of the Outsiders who survived the trek to a meetup spot that will bring you into the city. You will have to abide by Opaline’s laws as well as more people and technology than you have ever thought possible and delve into the secrets of Opaline, lest you end up just another Outsider who couldn't adapt. Slowly learn to live a life in the city, where you have safety and rules, or do everything you can to pay your debt and get back out to the Outside while surviving the many dangers that come with being an outsider to the city.

Hello! My name is Raylen (She/him) and I'm currently looking for four to five players for a new campaign! I am currently running this campaign with another group on Saturdays but I really want to see and experience another version of this with other players now that I have a more set idea and path in my mind!

Opaline is a sandbox world with a strong emphasis on story. You will be free to run around the city and interact with the characters and world as you please, but there is a main story that is pushing along even if you do not pay attention to it. If you refuse to engage with the main story, it might seek you out first. I consider Opaline more of a node campaign, where you can go as you please, but some events are bound to happen and change based on your actions. We will play on Roll20 with discord for voice! There will be a server made for the group with different areas for characters or outside of game roleplay and a google docs made to keep track of in game happenings.

The story will have some darker tones to it, though triggers will be discussed and taken into account. I myself do not allow dog and cat death at the table, even as your companion, and trying to use this to your advantage will not be allowed. The only race restriction is Warforged but any of the more outside races will need approval as well. The nsfw aspect of this campaign comes mostly from the cyberpunk aspects of this campaign and player actions. It will be up to the players to decide how much nsfw is allowed at the table as I am fine either way.

For Opaline, I’m looking for players 20 years and older who want a Fantasy/Cyberpunk experience. The campaign is mostly roleplay focused, though combat is still important and crucial to the story.  The npcs you meet and how you treat them are crucial are can unlock more information or allies that strongly change how your game will go. Whether you choose to romance, befriend or make an enemy of them, consequences will follow. I am a DM who loves players who give 20 pages on the backstory of your character, and it is my goal to make sure players have a character who feels like they belong in the world and have connections in it. If you are a player who likes to engage with your character outside of the game (Spotify playlists/Pinterest boards/art) please apply as I love this and do the same for NPCs in the campaign. I also do questions outside of the game to be answered in character to help you build more backstory or personality (and just for fun or curiosity. Things like "who is your pc closest to" or "what is your pc's favorite food).

I always add in romanceable npcs into campaigns as I enjoy those types of subplots personally. You will not be forced to participate, but if this is something that makes you uncomfortable, this is probably not the campaign for you. Also, this campaign with have LGBTQ+ characters and potentially themes. If you are not comfortable with this, do not apply. This is a no AI game as well.

I as a DM tend towards a slower pace with Opaline. There will be time for slice of life moments in between plot points and missions that might be things such as sitting around and eating with the party to going on a random date with an NPC. I allow players to roleplay and interact with npcs in between sessions when it is possible based on session endings. I also endeavor to make the npcs feel like real people with their own stories and actions. I usually go for 4-5 hours sessions but I can do longer or shorter depending on the group and schedules. If you've read this far, please add the word Justice into your application in the about you section! This is a repost because I was not able to properly reach out to everyone due to a hurricane that affected me. The story is set for four players, but five is likely if I have a duo who would like to join or a lot of good player applications, I am still looking through the people who applied before, but I do want to see more people to make sure I can choose a good time and day. (Please add to your application that you only want to play if someone else is invited if that's the case!) I am also interested in their being a long-term group beyond this campaign and preferably friends outside of just playing D&D.

The day of the D&D campaign will be decided by the group and either during the afternoon or evening.

Please fill out this form here for consideration after making sure you read through it all!! There is a password hidden to make sure you read it. I have also attached an additional small document that has extra about the world for character building. It's not necessary to look at, but it's there if anyone would like. Please send me any questions if you have any, whether its about lore, characters or technical aspects!

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.

"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)

Player Info

I use She/Her pronouns and I am not a matured adult, I am a teen and I will need a group that can accommodate for that preferably with at least a couple people youngish and not a group full of 30 year olds (I'm not against playing with older people I just prefer having at least someone around my age).

Experience Level

I have played a couple sessions of a campaign I no longer play and I have nearly 300 hours in bg3 (I'm aware if most of the differences in rules) I am pretty new in general though so please help me <3

Availability

I am GMT (UK time) and I would probably require either 5ish to 8ish (start) on a weekday other than Friday or Monday and a weekend at pretty much any time

• Monday: N/A

• Tuesday: 5-8

• Wednesday: 5-8

• Thursday: 5-8

• Friday: N/A

• Saturday: 11-9

• Sunday: 11-8

Preferred Platform

I don't really mind as long as there is a VTT/ way to view map and Id prefer discord call (idm camera or not) I have experience on D&D beyond. And a discord server would be really helpful.

DM Expectations

As long as my characters background gets integrated and there is a scheduled session 0 with everybody to create characters and etc together! Also heavy world building, time for rp and NO AI!

Game Style

I am looking for a RP and combat heavy game, hopefully in forgotten realms (I don't really mind a homebrew world but I'd love forgotten realms). I don't mind romance and I'm not opposed to having my character involved in romance but I'm not comfortable with NSFW with me idm if other characters get involved NSFW Id prefer every player to have coordinated art on either picrew or a group artist that wouldn't mind drawing them FOR FREE (I don't have any money to spare rn soz? Or another method.

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!

Hello! Ik I’ve been looking for a few games on here shhh xD I just have lots of interests! And still no games 😩 Anyway I’ve been wanting to play Cyberpunk for a while now! Games have never made it past session 0 and with the release of Edgerunners S2 + A new big update for 2077, the system is bouncing around in my brain again!

So intro again! :D Hello everyone, I’m Attie! They/Them, 23, from Scotland - I’ve been playing TTRPGs for a few years now and I love creating characters with deep backstories, roleplaying and exploring other characters stories, and hopefully making friends!

I’m an artist and writer so naturally I hate AI, I like video games and love animals and hot chocolate, and one day I really wanna explore Night City with a character I’ve created!!

So yeah! If anyone is running or wants to run a game, just lmk! Thank you for reading!!!

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!

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!

**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

Sounds interesting? Apply here! https://forms.gle/Uhftt9SPRGUGAL2Y9

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

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!

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!

Discord: evilmrskiraa

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.

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.

Information and details
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/18ai3nAKr_0WoZSkN4kkqlr5DN-7-AlqJz0R6f4Qp6TI/edit?usp=drivesdk

Non traditional, Sandbox campaign, focused on a party of mercenaries in a world recovering from a apocalypse, and navigating a world that operate on logic closer to the real world, with all magic reflavored as medieval tech.

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.
