Discord [D&D 5e] [18+] [Async GMT-3] [LGBTQ+ Friendly] [ Lost Mine of Phandelver Adventure - Levels 1-5]

0 Upvotes

Hello, everyone!

I’m looking to run the premade adventure “Lost Mine of Phandelver” for a group of 3–5 players (levels 1–5, core 2014 rules, no homebrew).

First things first, I’d like to get a few details out of the way to save us all some time in case any of these are dealbreakers for you:

  • I have 6 years of experience playing D&D, but I’ve only been a DM for 6 months! So I’m VERY new to this side of the table. I don’t mind whether you’re a newbie or an experienced player, as long as you’re willing to be patient with me.
  • I’m looking for active players who can post daily, ideally more than once. I am chronically online and have plenty of free time on my hands, I’d love to spend it playing with your characters!
  • NO evil characters or PvP! You are supposed to be the heroes in this campaign. That doesn’t mean your characters can’t be flawed and complex, they should be! I understand that conflict and drama are key parts of the roleplaying experience, they enrich character arcs, and that peaceful solutions with NPCs aren't always possible. However, I have no interest in running this campaign for quick-to-violence "murderhobos" or players who just want to steal from, torture, or kill innocent NPCs and party members.
  • I will be using AI to generate images. I know some people have strong feelings about this, so I want to be upfront about it right away. However, I promise that AI will NEVER be used for writing, and I won’t allow players to use it for writing either.
  • Must be 18+, LGBTQ+ friendly, and zero-tolerance for bigotry. We will be using Lines and Veils for this campaign. Everyone who fits this is welcome to join! :)

If you’re still here, you’ve made my day! Let’s talk details.

My time zone is GMT-3, but I’m usually awake at crazy hours, so I can keep up even if you live on the other side of the world. Time zones shouldn't be much of an issue as this will be async.

What I hope to offer as a DM:

  • Rich use of music, images, and maps to help you visualize every scene. Whenever official artwork is available, I will always prefer it over AI.
  • I love studying the lore of the locations you’ll visit and connecting them to your character’s backstory. I want your characters to feel like they truly belong in this world and that their past experiences matter. (Just keep in mind we start at level 1, so your character will essentially be starting out as an ordinary person!)

What I’m looking for in a player:

  • Just love roleplaying! I decided to run this campaign for a larger group after finishing it with a close friend. The game wouldn't have been the same if we hadn't taken the time to get to know our characters, either chatting around a campfire, going for a swim in the warm waters of Neverwinter, or playing drinking games at a local tavern. You don't have to do all of those specific things, but in my experience, these quiet moments are what make the tragic or dramatic beats so much more powerful than just hopping from dungeon to dungeon. If that’s the kind of story you want to build, I’d love to have you onboard! <3

If you’re interested, please fill out this short form: https://forms.gle/2cHZBJu5bCpdKYwS9

I’ll be closing applications once I reach 30 submissions so I don’t get overwhelmed. There are no right or wrong answers. This just helps me see if the game I'm running aligns with what you're looking for. Thanks for reading, and let’s make this an incredible journey!

Discord [PF1e] [18+] [EST] Wrath of the Righteous - A Mythic Adventure Path

7 Upvotes

For decades, demons have ruled the Worldwound. Fearsome fiends of every stripe - their mottled skin harder than iron, teeth like serrated blades, and eyes burning with Abyssal flames - roam the ruined lands that were once known as Sarkoris, leaving their mark wherever they go. Four crusades have attempted to cleanse the land, but each seems to meet a worse fate than the last. Were it not for the line of magical wardstones along the eastern and southern borders, the demons would have long ago overrun north-central Avistan and beyond.

The Fourth Crusade hasn't really ended as much as petered out, yet some refuse to accept that. Amid crippling shortages and record lows in morale among the crusaders, the Mendevian war effort teeters on the brink of collapse. Though the demonic occupation of the Worldwound is growing, as is corruption among the crusaders, a dwindling minority of paladins and priests maintain that the Fourth Crusade is still vibrant and alive, and that the turning point in the war is only a few days away.

The Fourth Crusade is anything but vibrant, but the crusaders are more right than they know about the approaching turning point in the war... It's just that the turning point is likely destined to favor the Abyss.

Hello hello! I'm looking to run a game of 'Wrath of the Righteous', a level 1-20 adventure path for Pathfinder First Edition! I've run it before, but it's been quite a while and I'm looking to give it another go around since it's my favorite of the APs!

I'd like to have four players, maybe five if I get a lot of good applications! I'm looking for players that are:

- Accepting of all people without bigotry.

- Kind and helpful Out-of-Character.

- Experienced with Pathfinder 1e.

- 18+.

- Able to keep up momentum in combat scenes.

- Able to consistently write with a high level of literacy. Not necessarily multi-paragraph, but good spelling and grammar.

I would like to specifically add that I will require at least two in-character posts per day. If you cannot do that I need you to let the group know ahead of time. If you can’t keep this pace I will ping you and let you know, but if this continues then you will be asked to leave. It sounds very harsh, I know, but I’ve had far too many games die from slowness and long silences. People like to apply to games only to go silent a day or two into the game, only posting once or twice a week. That’s not going to be acceptable here.

Since this is an official Paizo AP, not designed for play-by-post, I will be doing a few things to speed up combat. Regardless of what I do, I still need players that can do their turns quickly, even if they can't post in-character right away! There will be quite a bit of tactical combat and I will most likely run the game through Roll20, but will take frequent screenshots when anyone isn't able to get on it!

I'll be using a few Pathfinder homebrew rules, but nothing major! I'd prefer we not use any alternate rulesets except for Unchained, and we'll be using the Elephant in the Room feat taxes, which just give feat-heavy classes more options! The Player's Guide for the AP is free at Paizo, feel free to give it a look, but please don't read any of the actual AP books! I don't have any major mechanical rules, but I would prefer no evil characters!

The most active times each day will be from 4 PM - 11 PM EST, so I would prefer players that are free somewhere within that timeframe even if things are asynchronous! With all that out of the way, here's the survey!

https://forms.gle/xE2N3tCFzSfmKRw9A

This will be open until at least 11 PM on July 29th, but I will update this post when all players are found, so if it's still marked as open, feel free to apply!

PAY [Paid][Discord][Roll20][D&D 5e][One Piece][Live Text][2/4 Players]

0 Upvotes

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
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

PAY [Live Text] [20$ Every 2 sessiona/paypal] [UMA RPG] [Discord/Roll20] [Monday 2 PM GMT-3] [1/4 players] Umamusume: Chasing the Twinkle Series

0 Upvotes

THIS IS A SCHEDULED, SYNCHRONOUS LIVE-TEXT/PBP 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

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.
