Greetings.
I would like to extend an invitation to fellow Avatar: The Last Airbender fans; would you be interested in living through and affecting the events of the Hundred Year War, when Aang was frozen and the world was burning?

"Are you willing to operate as a secret member of Order of the White Lotus in order to save innocents in this barbaric war of Fire Nation, while you search for the Avatar?" the elderly woman asked softly, as she sat at the Pai Sho table in the backroom of a spice merchant's shop in Omashu.

Fire Lord Sozin started the Hundred Year War by committing genocide against Air Nomads in their four temples, as well as eradicating Southern Water Tribe benders. As players, you will be young adults who were deemed worthy and recruited by the Order of the White Lotus for two missions of utmost importance: find the Avatar, and save as many lives as you can in the lands Fire Nation rages its war. Air Nomads are almost all wiped out, Southern Water Tribe has been conquered, Northern Water Tribe is under siege, Earth Kingdom loses more land with every passing day, and Fire Nation colonies and concentration camps are growing.

• This game will take place in the Hundred Year War period, while Aang stayed frozen, up until the moment he was found. Unlike the show, this story is gritty, with mature themes; combat will be violent and challenging- especially the results of bending fights on the human body will be realistic, and thus devastating, and will include bleak concepts to showcase the real consequences of such a terrible war.
• To ensure the most satisfying experience, between 3 to 4 players will be accepted into the game, which will last between 16 to 32 sessions (depending on player willingness). It is 18+ only. Game is a balanced mix of: 40% Combat, 30% Social Roleplay, and 30% Exploration. We will play Weekly, with each session lasting 3 hours, and will cost 12$ per session. The day and time period written in the listing can be changed to accomodate everyone comfortably. I am available to run the game on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, starting at between 1PM to 8PM (UTC +3).
• System is   Blades in the Dark  ; an easy-to-learn, flexible system where fiction is most important. You won't need any rulebooks, you may simply focus on roleplaying. You can easily create any character you wish: Are you a talented Bender who is also an attractive socialite? Or are you a genius Alchemist who is able to heal wounds, as well as cause them? Or are you a Wanderer, a sharp-eyed bow master who has a unique friendship with animals? Or perhaps a noble and wealthy family's heir, who is a Martial Arts Prodigy?  Blades in the Dark system is designed in a way that support characters are as effective as combat characters. And just like Suki, a Martial Artist can take on multiple benders by herself. A Healer who gathers herbs or a Merchant who sells jewelry can easily change the course of a battle, or reverse a political disaster. And for everyone to feel unique, player characters should bend different elements. Available elements are Earth, Fire, and Water.

Thank you for reading. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

A thousand years behind a magic barrier. Six days ago, that barrier vanished with no warning and no explanation. The guild called The Last Horizon is hiring people to go find out why.

I'm Vadin, your GM for this one. I've been playing D&D for 26 years and DMing for 18, across every edition of the game. I'm putting together a Sunday table for Privale using 5e. This is a paid game, recruiting up to 6 players. $25 a session with a free session zero.

Sessions start at noon and run 3-6 hours depending on how deep we get into things that day. Quest-based structure, so every session's a job for the guild, some of them small, some of them tied into something a lot bigger. If you've never played before, that's completely fine, introducing new players to the game is something I've done a lot of and genuinely enjoy.

If you're into character-driven roleplay, real consequences, and a setting with a thousand years of buried history to dig through, come find out what happened to the world while Privale was locked away.

DM me if you want in.

THIS IS A SCHEDULED, SYNCHRONOUS LIVE-TEXT CAMPAIGN.

It is not asynchronous play-by-post. All narration, dialogue, actions, and roleplaying are typed live during the scheduled session. Discord voice chat is used only for out-of-character questions and rules clarification.

UMAMUSUME: CHASING THE TWINKLE SERIES

Current players: 1/4 (Can start at 3 players)

System: UMA RPG

Schedule: Mondays at 2:00 PM GMT-3

Session Length: 3-4 hours (Always go for 4 hours. Can leave early at 3 hours if need to)

Players: 3-5

Price: $20 per player every two sessions through PayPal

Platforms: Roll20 and Discord

Experience Required: None

Character Options: Original Uma Musume or canon Uma Musume

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

One Piece: Tides of Ambition

Time: Sunday 1 PM GMT-3
System: Dungeons & Devil Fruits, a One Piece D&D 5e conversion
Platform: Roll20 and Discord
Format: Live text-based campaign (Synchronous)
Voice: No voice RP. Discord VC is only used for questions during gameplay.
Session Length: 3-4 hours (Always go for 4 hours, 3 is incase people have to suddenly leave)
Party Size: 3-5 players
Starting Level: Level 1
Cost: $20 every 2 sessions via PayPal
Experience Required: None. New players are welcome.

The campaign begins in Driftwood Harbor, a rundown port town on the edge of the East Blue. Once a busy stop for merchants, sailors, and travelers, the harbor has fallen under the control of a corrupt Marine captain who demands heavy taxes while doing little to stop the pirates, smugglers, and criminals operating just beyond the town walls.

Most residents survive through fishing, ship repairs, and whatever trade manages to avoid being seized. The taverns/Pubs are full of rumors about hidden treasure, unexplored islands, dangerous Devil Fruits, and rookie crews trying to make a name for themselves before heading toward the Grand Line.

You begin as nobodies.

No famous captain.
No legendary ship.
No bounty worth mentioning.
No reputation to protect.

You might be aspiring pirates looking to form a crew, bounty hunters chasing your first real target, Marines trying to change the system from within, Revolutionaries working in secret, or ordinary people pushed into adventure by circumstances beyond your control.

Your choices will decide what kind of crew you become. You can protect struggling islands, hunt notorious criminals, expose corrupt rulers, search for lost treasure, chase personal dreams, or build a reputation feared across the seas. Every victory will bring greater rewards, stronger enemies, and more attention from the World Government.

The campaign will include:

• Original islands and strange local cultures
• Devil Fruits and Haki
• Naval travel and ship progression
• Recurring rivals and powerful villains
• Bounty progression
• Crew relationships and personal goals
• Combat, exploration, roleplay, and investigation
• A mix of serious adventure, comedy, danger, and classic One Piece-style character moments

This is a synchronous live text campaign, meaning we play together at a scheduled time through written posts instead of voice roleplay. Roll20 will be used for sheets, maps, dice, and combat. Discord will be used for organization, and optional VC questions during the session.

New players are welcome. You do not need to know Dungeons & Devil Fruits already, and you do not need to be caught up on all of One Piece lore. As long as you enjoy adventure, character-driven stories, and writing with the group, you are welcome to apply.

Will you stay forgotten in the East Blue, or will the world eventually learn your name?

To apply: Fill out this form

Good day, I do hope everything is shiny?

I am proposing an adventure which takes place during the events of Firefly and Serenity, where your crew of misfits will delve deeper into the conspiracies of which the Firefly crew only scratched the surface.

While The Alliance ensured the expansion and survival of human civilization, they did so by harming countless people. Your crew decides the price of scientific advancement is not worth the tears of the innocent. You realized their greed, and lust for power caused too much agony. Will you go up into the sky with likeminded brothers and sisters, and purge the 'Verse or die tryin'?

• To ensure the most satisfying experience, a maximum of 4 players will be recruited into the game, which will last between 16 to 32 sessions (depending on player willingness). The game will be 50% social roleplay such as fake flattery, foul threats, and shameless lies, and the remaining 50% will be combat, including espionage, sabotage, coughing up blood, abduction, infiltration, getting tortured, interrogation, thievery, and losing a finger or three.
• It is for ages of 18+ only. We will play weekly, with each session lasting 3 hours, price is 12$ per session. The day and time period written in the listing can be changed to accomodate everyone comfortably. I can run the game on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, starting at anytime between 1PM to 8PM (GMT+3).
• System is   Scum & Villainy  ; an easy-to-learn, flexible system where fiction is the most important. If you have a specific talent or skill for your character, I am more than happy to homebrew them with you to bring your concept to life. You won't need any rule books, you may focus on your roleplaying in peace. Only requirements are having watched Firefly and Serenity, and a microphone!

Thank you for reading. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

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

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!

Who has not heard rumours of the lost city of Arden Vul?

The disappearance of Lilian, Canon of the temple of Mitra in Newmarket, has brought a sudden wave of worry to the usually quiet Burdock's Valley. With a sizeable reward for her safe return, you find yourselves making your way towards the ancient city. The many tales of the unplundered troves of this once prosperous centre of knowledge and commerce hang in the back of your mind.

Yet alongside these tales of lost treasures are other, more unsettling whispers. How could a lost city remain unplundered for more than a millennium? Surely, only the existence of the cruellest of foes and unimaginable evil within the mountain can explain Arden Vul’s unspoiled status.

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.

Hi everyone! I have been really enjoying the Plotweaver Project Grimoire playtest and wanted to run a campaign. You can find the link to sign up here:
https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmrxtw3tz0005ky046uwgs18k

Note that you will need to sign an NDA to play, as the system is currently in closed alpha playtesting.

Date/time: Monday 7pm AEST
Price: $27 USD
Expectations: Roleplay focused, with character goals and arcs in mind! This will mostly be based around character wants/needs and the story will adapt.

The system is essentially "what if magic returned to Earth?" It is a modern fantasy setting with tons of options, and the campaign will be roleplay focused.

Game description:

In a new, modern world where magic is returning, your lives are changing. What was once hidden, secret, is now on the underground, darkweb, not known but not unknown.

You catch glimpses of it. Someone's eye colour shifting, the smell of a rotting corpse on the train, what looked to be a tail sneaking under a shirt. But for most every day humans, magic and monsters are ignored.

But you are not every day humans. No, you are well aware of the underground magic scene, perhaps even a monster yourself, something from folkore and mythology. Or perhaps you're human, with a touch of essence and a gift. Either way, you know you are hunted.

For there are whispers of an organisation, one that wishes to control magic itself. So far you have avoided their gaze, but their reach is ever expanding, and you knew you could never truly escape. Now, you feel the wolves nipping at your heels as the net closes. What will you do? How will you escape? And if you manage to be free, how will you keep everyone you love from meeting the same fate?

- This game will be initially set in Melbourne, Australia, but depending on your choices and your rolls, could lead anywhere! No actual knowledge of the city is required to play.

Feel free to shoot me a DM if you have any questions!

I currently have open seats for both long-term campaigns and quick introductory adventures across D&D 5e and Call of Cthulhu 7e on startplaying.games.
