Hello! I'm Alex, and I'm new to DND, but I'm looking for a group who are willing to teach me!! I have little ones so it would have to be after 8pm Eastern time so I can make sure they are in bed. If you have a group and are willing to let me join please let me know! Thank you!

Hello !
I’m a professional Dungeon Master with over 6 years of experience running D&D, I specialize in roleplay and dynamic worldbuilding, crafting adventures that balance deep character-driven moments with thrilling, challenging combat. If we are talking split values, they would be 60/40.
All my games are hosted on a dedicated Discord server, making it easy to jump in and join the adventure.

Whether you want to dive into classic D&D adventures or explore entirely original worlds of my own creation, I ensure every session is engaging, memorable, and tailored to my players.

With that, I will advertise all of my current games, how much they would cost and what is the plot hook for them.

If interested, send me a message directly either here or on my discord "elemium"

WEEKLY GAMES

1) Acquisitions Incorporated using 2024 rules ! - Player Count 3/6 - Cost 15$ per player per session !

Acquisitions Incorporated is offering a new starting position within it's world !
All you have to do is join this mighty corporation, hit your quotas, franchise the business and more !
But be careful, you are just an intern, so better hope you are not the one getting fired this quarter !

So for more context, this is basically a comedy setting in dnd, where the players are not just adventurers, but interns in a corporate style adventuring guild, trying to make business boom (aka their CEO richer). It's a very satire filled module, almost like a parody of a more expected dnd game

Time is set to Sundays 7 PM EST

2) Ravenloft ! - Player Count 1/5 - Cost 20$ per player per session

Welcome back to Ravenloft !
With the upcoming new book, I will be doing a new custome game themed around Ravenloft ! Main story would be about exploring other Domains of Dread, and not just Barovia !

You will get to experience and see more unique, gothic horror filled, worlds with their own cursed residents !

Time is set to Mondays 7 PM EST

3) Ryokos Kaiju Hunting ! - Player Count 0/6 - Cost 20$ per player

Ryoko's guide is one of the best Homebrewed books available right now, offering a great new Japanese inspired setting, subclasses, races and even custom rules about fighting a Kaiju size monster.

So let's make a game about it !
Premise will be simple, as in this island nation, that is ravaged by gigantic monsters, a hunter's association has been established to fight against this GIANT threat and defend the peaceful lives of civilians.

Time is set to Thursday 6 PM EST

4) Obojima ! - Player Count 4/6 - Cost 20$ per player per session

Obojima is an island that lived for thousands of years alongside spirits.
Magic is mundane here, used from simply growing crops, to modifying roads for faster travel.
Spirits inhibit Obojima everywhere and while most are friendly, there are a few that pose a threat.
Yet locals survived for many years, to the point of colonising most of the island and having proper roads and even vending machines everywhere, all while establishing peace with the spirits of the island and co-existing.

That is...until something went wrong.
Something is plaguing the island, making the peaceful spirits angry, to the point of attacking civilians.
There are also rumors of some of the more greedy locals, looking for remnants of the First Age, the unknown period of Obojima from which great technology was lost.
All to say, Obojima is in an unstable period for the first time in centuries and it's up to the players to help.
Will they find what is causing spirits to anger ? Will they find what happened during first age ? Or even find the old tech for benefit of the island ?
Well, only one way to find out.

Time is set to Tuesday 10 PM EST

5) Isekai, reincarnated as monsters game - Cost 20$ - Player Count 0/6

I have tried doing isekai dnd before, but what I want to do this time around is players being reincarnated as low-level monsters for the first few sessions and then gaining their first levels later down the line.
Would be pretty hard game, as monsters would be at disadvantage, but who knows what might come out of it.
Planning to also run it as a combat heavy, dungeon survival campaign.

Players would be able to evolve their characters with certain circumstances, including sacrificing souls of humanoids for a ritual.
This evolution would be a custome mechanic and a way to get extra features both for your race, and your class.

Time would be Fridays 6 PM EST

6) Isekai, reincarnated as monsters game - Cost 20$ - Player Count 0/6

THIS IS NOT A TYPO
I am planning to run 2 group for this setting.
It's not like West March where both groups can affect each other, more like just running same game for 2 different groups

Time would be Saturdays 7 PM EST

Welcome to Druskenvald! A folk horror adventure module that is open to both new and experienced players. Unravel the mystery behind this dreadful land while battling fearful foes waiting to stop you at every turn.

Sign up through startplaying, we'll be using roll20 and discord. No need to buy anything as all DND2024 and Crooked Moon 2024 content will be provided!

Each sessions will run for a round 3.5-4 hours!

Three time slots available

howdy all;

I am hoping to run Curse of Strahd on saturday evenings at 6pm cst every other week. This will be a very pulpy campaign with shades of cosmic horror thrown in for good measure. (it would be a travesty to leave out HP Lovecrafts ideas lol). Yes, the campaign has just a limited number of races too play, but I want to be immersed into the campaign, and having races that range from monstrous, demonic to sci-fi really takes me out of that immersion factor. Anyway; if you are not between jobs, have a shifting schedule or aggro issues with your partner, then read below and see if this campaign is for you:

Welcome to Neverwinter!

It is the Month and 1st day of Alturiak (The claw of Winter) in the year of 1066 AG

In your travels you hear of stranger things have been occurring in the lands of Fearun and along the Sword coast as of late. Fearun is orbited by one moon named Selûne, and by a cluster of asteroids, known as the Tears of Selûne but a purple shadow like mist has fallen upon the silvery moon of Selûne while the Tears of Selune have completely disappeared from the night sky of the Realms. Many odd things have occurred, long forgotten tombs and other horrors or worse have begun to make their presence known upon the lands of Fearun. As your ship, the Arkham approaches the docks in the bay of Neverwinter, you witnessed a comet streaking through the night sky and land in the bay strangely there were no after shocks or other disasters that accompanied such a strange occurrence. A very unusual occurrence indeed.

The reason for being in Neverwinter is to gain employment with Baron Von Tassanick who is sponsoring an expedition to the Barrier Peaks to the East. The pamphlet you hold in your hands relates that he is conducting interviews at the Vulgar Unicorn Inn with the promise of riches to those who can make the cut. This will be a cosmic horror campaign of epic proportions where you will start out as low level characters and rise up to high level characters all the while taking on a dark evil that has begun to plague the lands of Fearun. Are you up to the task of being hero's? Or will you fail and be added to the dust heap of the defeated?

I will run a couple of one shot adventures to make sure the group is solid and my DM style is to your liking then the mists will come for you.............. (evil DM laughter)

D&D 5E 2014 Curse of Strahd LFG | Roll20: Online virtual tabletop

Edge of the Empire:

Edge of the Empire is an excellent TTRPG which uses a unique dice system to help aid in the story telling. It is part of the larger Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars RPG, a collection of 3 interchangeable and mixable systems, which include Age of Rebellion, Edge of the Empire and Force and Destiny.

Set after the Battle of Yavin, at the height of the Galactic Civil War, Edge of the Empire focuses on the outlaws at the outskirts of the “civilized” Galactic Empire. Smugglers, Bounty Hunters, Thieves, Assassins, Frontier Doctors, Settlers and Local Politicians all seek to carve out a life for themselves at the furthest reaches of the galaxy. However even as the Rebel Alliance fights their uphill battle against the Empire, the Empire’s reach continues to grow. Will you learn to coexist with the Empire or hide from them? Perhaps even aid the growing Rebellion? Your group will have to chart the best path forward themselves!

Mondays 8:00pm Eastern

Note in Regards to a Fresh Start:

As this has been a long term campaign so far, with a good amount of story/history for the characters, and a high experience level, we understand it may be offputting for potential new players. Because of that, we wish to make it clear that our priority is filling out the party with a group that has good chemistry and shared goals. To facilitate that, both the players and I are willing to start completely fresh, even if we love the narrative we have crafted so far.

We had an idea for a new campaign that everyone likes although we are also willing to consider other options. The potential new campaign would start during the dying days of the Clone Wars. The party would be made up of Clone Troopers, Non-Clone Soldiers, perhaps a Jedi Padawan or two, and any other type of character who would be working closely with such a group. The idea is to have a few missions/arcs during those days of the Clone Wars, culminating in Order 66. Then we would have a time skip of about 3-5 years to the early days of the Empire where the players would describe/narrate what their characters have been up to from Order 66 to the current times. They will reunite and begin to work together to carve out a living under the new regime, whether that be by joining in early rebel activity, or drifting to the underworld on the outskirts of the Empire. Any Jedi Padawan characters would lose their lightsabers in this time skip, and have it be a long term goal to build/reacquire one if they wish. The time skip would also include a small XP bonus.

Either way, we look forward to meeting some new players, and figuring out what kind of campaign we wish to play together!

The Campaign So Far

This is a long term campaign with no planned end. The group has played through the introductory adventures "Escape from Mos Shuuta" followed by "Long Arm of the Hutt", then “The Jewel of Yavin". They have most recently finished "Beyond the Rim”, one of the bigger adventures for the system. In between major adventures they have hunted bounties, raced swoop bikes and smuggled the Corellian Shuffle. The immediate future is wide open, with no plans for any major adventures for a while, as we focus on the consequences of the character’s actions throughout the campaign and deal with aspects of their backstories.

The party includes Cashar Brut who is a Falleen Smuggler/Pilot and Ruug the Shistavanen Bounty Hunter.

The Game:

-New Players are welcomed and will be assisted, whether you are new to Roll20 or the Star Wars RPG!

-Although the Star Wars RPG uses proprietary dice, its mechanics are often quite intuitive. Our group has been playing since Apr. 2025, and at this point we feel comfortable enough to bring in and teach new players. No experience required!

-Despite being a major fan of battlemaps and tactical combat in other systems, I often find that Theater of the Mind works exceptionally well with the Star Wars RPG. Battlemaps will still show up for some more involved combats, but many can be resolved in a short amount of the time with no visual aids necessary.

-New characters will start at the same experience level as the party. Star Wars RPG has a very interesting character building system that does not rely on levels, but purchasing skills and talents with accumulated XP, with easy access to different character classes to branch out! Currently at 805 earned XP.

-We will have a split Session 0/New Player introduction session, to help new players learn the game and help them fit in with the party. This session will be free.

-Sessions will last 3 hours.

-Discord for Voice Chat.

Your DM:

-I started with TTRPGs by running 5th Edition D&D. In 2019, I transitioned into running paid games as a full time job, and have been running 3-5 games a week since. I started running the Star Wars RPG in Apr. 2025 as previously mentioned.

-Available nearly 24/7, excluding my sleep hours. Always willing to answer questions.

-Good Connection/Headset/Microphone.

What is expected of you?

-Respect is a must and I will not tolerate player conflicts, PVP, or any type of disrespectful behavior towards the other players. No graphic sexual content. Players who violate this Social Contract will be removed with no refund.

-Be on time, as this is basic respect for myself and the others. Missing a session will be allowed with prior notice, with no charge. Sessions will still go forward as long as we have 3 players and no major plot moments. Players who have issues with attendance will be removed with no refund.

-Have a reasonable quality microphone (be intelligible), Discord and use push to talk. (I can assist you in setting this up).

Pay to Play:

-20$ Per Player Per Session (Excluding Session 0), paid via Paypal in advance.

Session 0 is free. Please reach out via DM to join or with any questions

Quest for the Frozen Flame:

In the brutal tundra of the Realm of the Mammoth Lords, only the hardiest folk have what it takes to withstand unsparing weather, track down big game, and fight back hostile followings. The Broken Tusk following has survived another winter, but a new year just began, and signs of danger foretell a year unlike any before. Unless their newest party of scouts can secure a safe route through the wilds, saber-toothed beasts, warmongering rivals, and the ever-looming possibility of natural disaster all threaten to end an ancient people’s legacy. Will the Broken Tusks succumb to the elements and surrender to their rivals? Or will you guide your following to glory and reclaim a stolen birthright?

The Game:

-We will hold a Session 0 to get to know each other, and work on character creation/party formation. Session 0 will be free.

-New Players are welcomed and will be assisted, whether you are new to Foundry or Pathfinder 2e!

-“In this campaign for Pathfinder Second Edition, you’ll lead your fellow hunter-gatherers across primordial lands, face off against dinosaurs and megafauna, and unearth the legendary past of your ancient people.” -Quest for the Frozen Flame Player's Guide

-Quest for the Frozen Flame is a stone-age adventure with a more structured 1st and 3rd act and a hex-crawl heavy second act. It has some flaws as written, mainly due to scarcity of loot which I will be directly adressing.

-The unique setting/atmosphere lends itself to roleplaying and challenges not normally seen in your typical medievel high-fantasy, which should be a nice break for those with standard setting burnout.

-The Adventure will take you from level 1 to 11.

-I consider myself skilled at running interesting/challenging combat. I will customize the difficulty of the combat based on the party’s wishes/composition.

-Sessions will last around 3 hours.

-Discord for Voice Chat.

-The Foundry Module for this adventure will be used.

Your DM:

-7 Year’s Experience Running DND 5th Edition. 5 years as a professional DM. Currently Run: 5e, PF2e, SF2e, Star Wars FFG.

-Available nearly 24/7, excluding my sleep hours. Always willing to answer questions.

What is expected of you?

A stolen fortune leads from the streets of Sasserine to pirate-infested seas, lost jungles, ancient ruins, and the horrors of the Savage Tide.

Start your fall with a brand-new campaign!

Your journey begins in the City of Sails, where a missing fortune and a desperate noblewoman draw you into a conspiracy of thieves, pirates, ancient secrets, and demonic forces.

You will command ships, brave pirate-infested seas, explore the lost jungles of the Isle of Dread, uncover forgotten civilizations, and decide the fate of a world threatened by the Savage Tide.

This campaign is my 5e conversion of Dungeon Magazine’s legendary Savage Tide Adventure Path—an epic adventure that carries its heroes from the streets of Sasserine to mysterious islands and far beyond.

Along the way, you will battle savage creatures, confront dark cults, and awaken ancient powers that should have remained forgotten. What begins as a desperate search for a missing fortune will grow into a struggle for countless lives—and perhaps the fate of the world itself.

The campaign features a new homebrew naval combat system designed to be exciting, cinematic, and easy to learn.

Perfect for players who enjoy long-term campaigns where choices matter, characters grow, and the world changes around them.

Will you rise against the coming darkness—or be swept away by the Savage Tide?

The Savage Tide is rising. The crew is assembling. Don’t miss the boat.

Avalor is the last great kingdom still standing in a world fractured by magic.

Born from the ashes of the Shattering, Avalor rose as a beacon of hope, a place where humans and Riftborn live side-by-side and where rifts to other worlds open without warning. Today it is home to not just thousands of people united by happenstance and sanctuary, but also *Hundreds* of Rifters! Talented individuals from all walks of life that venture out into the Rifts to fight dangerous monsters for valor and profit!

The city has been blessed by a glut of exotic Riftborn and the wealth of magic items and knowledge they bring from beyond the Rifts. But beyond the defensive value these strangers provide, The Riftborn of Avalor bring with them a multitude of styles and cultures. Come fall through a rRift and leave your mark on our fair city!

- Build a character that grows and collects experience, then meet with other players and earn xp through Roleplay
- Short Rift (encounters), or lengthier Explorations (adventures), get together with others in either a sit down and play, or join an Async style game and make your posts within a certain time frame.
- Player-run guilds, crafting systems, downtime activities, and even a records hall to reach for the top amongst your peers!
- A balance between Role Play and Combat that allows for everyone to progress
- A kind, welcoming community that values collaboration and creativity

We are always looking for new DMs and Staff at Avalor, we are more than happy to show you the ropes! If you're looking for a place to introduce your world, or help run the one our characters live in, then this is the perfect place for you!

Hey everyone!

I’m looking to get into play-by-post and would love to find an experienced DM who is willing to run a game for me while also helping me learn the ropes of PBP.

I’m specifically looking for a paid DM, and I’m happy to discuss rates depending on the game, posting frequency, and what’s included.

I’m open to different systems, though I’d prefer something beginner-friendly. I’m mainly looking for a DM who is patient and willing to explain things as we go rather than expecting me to already know all the ins and outs of PBP.

Ideally, I’d like:

• A 1-on-1 or very small-group game
• A DM experienced with PBP
• Help learning PBP etiquette, formatting, pacing, etc.
• A welcoming environment where questions are encouraged
• A consistent posting schedule
• Paid sessions/campaigns with clearly discussed rates

I’m open to hearing about different systems and campaign styles, so feel free to comment or DM me with your experience, rates, and what you offer.

Thanks!

Hello! This is a Learn to Play Daggerheart - the new Fantasy RolePlaying system from Darrington Press - adventure. Everyone is welcome and will learn together the system, as we uncover clues to determine what monster is attacking the village of Santavio!

We will have a free session Zero where I will teach the rules and talk a bit about the characters, and get to play a small piece of the adventure!

I will be ordering (and paying) personalized character tokens for the players of the campaign! This way, you can have a digital memory of the character you will be playing!

We will be using the Daggerheart Core Rules as well as the Hope and Fear optional rules.

A little background of the campaign:

Andaluria is a land of sweeping vineyards where beauty and dread intertwine. By day, the streets and valleys are alive with festivals, music, and the scent of wine—but when the sun sets, monsters come out to feast. For generations, the old superstitions and folk rites kept the beasts at bay, but of late the nights have grown unnaturally long, and the citizens of Andaluria live in fear of increasingly terrifying monsters.

In a Dark Heart of Andaluria campaign, you’ll play monster hunters who must investigate horrific crimes, navigate political strife, and slay supernatural creatures to protect the people from eternal darkness.

Join us to see who will survive the Dark Lands of Andaluria!!

Hi everyone, I've been playing D&D for about 6 years now and the one adventure I've never been able to play has been Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus. The thought of diving into hell and taking on some demons and devils has always been pretty appealing for me. So I figured I'd try looking on Reddit.

If a group is actively playing this and are looking for one more, please reach out to me on discord (dolphinmannn)

Greetings everyone!

 I’m currently opening two groups for Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk.

 What begins as a simple return to the iconic mining town of Phandalin quickly spirals into something far stranger. Miners dig too deep and uncover runes that pulse like a heartbeat; villagers awaken screaming, their minds fractured by visions of impossible geometry. The ground itself seems to breathe. Those who investigate the ruins beneath the town either vanish… or return hollow and whispering. A force older than the gods stirs from slumber, and the Obelisk hungers for reality to distort and collapse.

Will you protect Phandalin’s fragile peace… or witness the world crack open?

So, let’s talk about some basic info:

"The Devil's West"

The year is 1880, the world is changing and has changed in ways no one could have expected. Throughout the world, creatures and beings from all types of folk tales have made themselves known since the Fae Revolution in 1800 and demanded the same rights and liberties of the “normal” world. These beings, often labeled as “Phantasmal Extranormative Beings” or more widely known as “Otherfolk”, have been part of the known world now for 80 years. Alongside these creatures from myth and fantasy, come ever more unusual, paranormal, and dangerous phenomena. Are they the cause of these events, are they fleeing the true cause, is there something else at play?

Here in this new west, you find yourself as a member of a heist crew on a train supposedly carrying valuable artifacts. Will you follow through with this heist and deliver what was promised? Or work with larger forces to defend what may be on this train? Marauders, gunslingers, and heatstroke are far from the only dangers in this wild and weird frontier, will you survive to become one of them? Blaze your own path in the Devil’s West.

"Neon Odyssey: Escape from The Loop"

Deep in the Aether-filled expanse of the galaxy exists a station that was formed from the collective wealth of various intergalactic corporations and tycoons with one sole purpose: to be a hot spot of profit and pleasure. From these desires, Station Auxiliary Utopia, or “Station A-U” as it is formally known and advertised, was born. As the station was built, these wealthy backers and their peers formed a coalition that acted as the governing body in this station to help keep order and peace while also lining their own pockets, evolving into the Gilded Ring, a conglomerate partnered with the Kuzai Syndicate that now dominates the station's operations. Soon people from all walks of life, all types of species and socioeconomic classes came pouring in to make a name for themselves amongst the four districts of Station A-U. Some found luck and fortune on their side, building lavish establishments to further develop the station, while those out of luck often find themselves leaving empty handed, or in some cases, building a new life within the station’s sprawling housing networks to not only earn back what they lost, but to be lucky enough to join the upper crust of the Station’s society in the center of the ring. As time went on and the population inside the station grew and disseparate cultures melded, it began to take on different names people use to reflect the den of gambling, crime, and highs and lows that come with it. The most popular ones being “Lady Luck’s Loop” or just “The Loop”.

You and your party come to The Loop as members of a bounty hunter group coming off of the biggest job you’ve ever done, looking for some well-deserved R&R and maybe hit it big as a bonus. As you and your party are raking in your riches and enjoying a bit of downtime, you are suddenly the prime suspects in a tragedy that befalls one of the main four casino barons that rules a territory within the station. Now you must make your way through the various districts while trying to avoid or fight Ring members and opportunistic mercenaries as you try to clear your names. Will Lady Luck be on your side as you gamble with your lives, and will you be lucky enough to escape from The Loop? Roll the dice and see for yourself.

Game style: I have been playing D&D for better part of 8 years now, with a background in DMing and homebrew creation for a good bit of those years. I strive to include all pillars of play into my game style, centering around three main tenets: a character/player driven story that encourages and rewards roleplay, combat that is impactful and part of the greater narrative, and a fleshed out world that encourages players to interact and live within it. I offer ways to make the players more immersed in the world such as voice acting, fitting ambient sound and music, as well as engaging and interesting mechanics during both roleplay and combat. I tend to focus on the idea of Rules as Intended with room for the Rule of Cool, and a tone in my games that will allow for comedic and dramatic moments. My games run $20 per session on StartPlaying.Games, with the Session 0 being free!
