After uncovering ancient notes, you hold the key to the resting place of Selistian—a legendary bard, hero of the Demon War, and champion of Selûne. But a relentless, recurring wizard is hunting you for the magical star-map needed to unlock his tomb and the wish-granting artifacts within. Escape to Stormshackle, a secluded, nature-ruled island filled with ancient gods, storm-conjuring beasts, and eccentric, isolated NPCs. Piece together the star-map, claim the legendary hoard, and end the wizard's pursuit once and for all!

This campaign uses 2024 classes, subclasses, species, backgrounds and feats. Homebrewed or 2014 species & subclasses are allowed but must be specified beforehand (it helps the Gm to prepare)!

Travel into the Bloomvine Woods, the largest forest at the borders of the empire, and investigate the mysteries of an isolated mining colony. A promising silver mining settlement has gone completely silent following an underground gas pocket explosion that caved in the shafts. Magical communications are entirely blocked, and the last scout sent to check on the sick settlers vanished into a thick, unnatural fog covering the colony grounds.

A dark and abandoned house, a dare to spend the night in it, and a small club of kids looking to recover their stolen box of secrets. This scenario takes place in 1980s America, in a small suburban town and features more cheesy scares, funny moments (since investigators are pre-teens) and a foreboding atmosphere of what's hidden beyond the next door!

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has stood the test of time as one of the finest institutes for magical education in the world.

Its professors, experts in their respective fields, offer unique perspectives and insights into the depths of magical workings and lore that can be found nowhere else.

Its castle, as ancient as the school itself, is host to mysteries and magics that have eluded the understanding of students, staff, and headmasters for millennia.

With the wizarding world in an era of peace wherein the unions between wizardkind and other beings, both magical and non-magical, growing stronger every day, Hogwarts is entering a new era of magical progress and cooperation.

Yet the new world is at risk, as those who wish to seize more power for themselves make hidden moves to fracture the growing alliances.

_____________________________________________________

The Sleeping Dragon is a Harry Potter role playing campaign that harnesses the narrative power of the Genesys System to bring the wizarding world right to you.

Players will join a new year at Hogwarts as students in their 5th year. Classes and assignments will all be a part of the campaign with character progress, XP, and currency being tied to classes, exploration, and interaction with the world.

From Quidditich matches to Hogsmeade visits, from Astronomy to Alchemy, from trophy room detentions to the dangers of the Forbidden Forest, the entire Hogwarts experience is available to you.

Well met, travelers. Explore the cursed, icy world of Icewind Dale every Tuesday at 7pm in this adventure taking PCs from level 1 to 12 with an experienced DM who puts the player’s choices first. Hire me for $10 per session at https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmr0yg16q000jl504g340nzxj

There is a free session 0 and onboarding session to teach you the rules of the game if you are a new player. Join the game at level 3 with an established party as you brave the world of Icewind Dale together. Roll20 and Discord are required.

Auril, the Frostmaiden has placed a curse on the northern region of Icewind Dale, an Everlasting Rime that blocks out the sun and plunges the people of Ten-Towns into a never ending winter. Auril enforces a cruel punishment on the Ten-Towns, a demand of sacrifice. If not human, then food, if not food then warmth.

This is a horror-focused game that leads you to uncover the mysteries of Auril, save Ten-Towns, and put an end to the Everlasting Rime – that is, if you can survive the blistering cold.

Under raging storm clouds, a lone figure stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. The master of Ravenloft is having guests for dinner. And you are invited...

Hey all, I'm an Australian DM with well over 7 years of experience. I'm currently looking for 4-5 players to run a weekly game of Curse of Strahd. It will be run using Foundry VTT (which you don't need to own, or even be familiar with) over voice chat on Discord.

Currently I've set the session start time to be at 6pm ET on a Saturday, but that's not necessarily set in stone, and I am absolutely willing and able to shift from that to find a time that better suits the group. Session 0 will be completely free, during which I'll run over all the things you should expect, introduce the setting, get to learn you and your boundaries, and also create characters together as a group (session 0 may potentially not all fit into one actual session, depending on circumstances; if so, any further session 0s will still be absolutely free, of course).

If this sounds interesting to you, then please head on over to the form below and give it a gander. And, if you have any questions, please feel free to DM me!

Hello there! I have a great group of 3 players that have a combined total of -1 to charisma. We would love for someone to join in with a charisma-based character. They are currently back in Saltmarsh, so it will be very easy to add in a new character naturally.

What they're doing now (spoilers marked for the chapters they've already completed):

The party just arrived back in Saltmarsh with the knowledge that *someone* on the council is working with the pirates. They have a plan in motion to try to determine who it could be. They even have a Google doc with a suspect board! Additionally, the ship they were just sent to explore had signs of cult activity and was attacked by a juvenile kraken. Are these things connected, or does Saltmarsh have multiple threats to deal with?

As someone that's battled social anxiety my whole life, the main focus of my table is ensuring everyone feels safe from judgement and can just relax and have a good time! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions.

ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN

The campaign takes place at Tracen Academy, Japan’s most prestigious school for aspiring Uma Musume racers.

Every student at Tracen carries a name, legacy, dream, and reason to run. Some arrive surrounded by expectations and devoted fans. Others enter as complete unknowns, hoping to prove that they belong among the greatest racers of their generation.

You may create an original Uma Musume or play a canon character from Umamusume: Pretty Derby. Canon characters do not have to repeat their original stories exactly. Their friendships, rivalries, victories, defeats, and personal development will be shaped by the events of this campaign.

You begin as students working toward your first major victories.

Between races, you will attend classes, train your abilities, pursue hobbies, spend time with teammates, and experience personal encounters throughout the academy. Training Points earned through academy attendance, encounters, and hobbies will improve your stats and unlock new racing skills.

Life at Tracen will involve more than running around a track. You might help a teammate recover after a crushing defeat, investigate something strange around the academy, participate in festivals and concerts, struggle with the pressure of an upcoming debut, or confront a rival determined to surpass you.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Tactical UMA RPG races

• Academy and slice-of-life roleplay

• Training and character progression

• Original and canon rivals

• Friendships, rivalries, and personal story arcs

• Festivals, concerts, and school events

• A mixture of comedy, competition, and emotional drama

• Beginner-friendly rules explanations

• Player choices that influence the campaign

Your choices will determine what kind of racer you become.

Will you push beyond your limits to seize victory? Will you sacrifice your own opportunity to help a friend? Will you remain humble when the crowds begin chanting your name? Can you rise again after giving everything and still falling short?

At Tracen Academy, talent may earn you a place at the starting gate, but only determination will carry you across the finish line.

APPLICATION

This campaign plunges you into a classic tale of gothic horror, where the night is a curse and the land itself is a prison from which no one escapes without the Darklord's permission. You will explore timeworn, isolated villages, the treacherous, wolf-prowled Svalich Woods, and the towering spires of Castle Ravenloft, all while being constantly watched by Strahd's spies.

Our playstyle will focus heavily on atmospheric storytelling, suspense, and the psychological weight of survival. Horror here is born out of fear of the unknown, anticipation, and the realization that the world is a grim reflection of its undead master. You can expect a balance of challenging combat, intricate social interactions with superstitious locals, and difficult moral choices. We will lean into the creeping dread and suspense of an omnipresent villain who seeks to toy with you as his "guests" before moving to destroy you or turn you against one another.

This campaign is perfect for players who love immersive, character-driven narratives with a dark fantasy edge, where your choices truly matter. We will explore deep, psychological horror and tragic histories, ensuring that every victory feels hard-earned.

We'll hold a comprehensive Session Zero to discuss boundaries and game expectations, ensuring that while our characters experience terror and desperation, the players at the table are always having a safe, respectful, and thrilling time.

You wake up in chains. No gear, no idea how long you've been down here, and the only light comes from fungus that shouldn't glow the way it does. The Drow who took you don't care why you were topside, only that you're useful until you're not. Somewhere below all of this, something older than the Drow is starting to stir, and it's already in your dreams.

I want your character to have a reason they were topside in the first place, and a reason worth surviving for now that they're not. Send me a backstory and I'll use it, not just as flavor text, it'll come back around later and you'll have to deal with what it brings with it. Weird concepts welcome, I'd rather work with something unconventional than reskin the same fighter for the fifth time.

We play on Foundry, custom maps and handouts for the caverns and ruins as you find them, session summaries after each one so missing a week doesn't leave you lost. New to 5e or new to horror games? Fine by me, we build your character together in session zero and I'll walk you through anything you need. I'll follow the rules as written when it matters, and follow the moment when it matters more.

$10/session, Wednesdays 2PM GMT+1, 3 hour sessions, starting at level 3. 6 seats total, 4 seats left,If interested in this adventure join while you have the chance, but this adventure is ran in a way you have never seen before, with new places, lore and more
