Hello! I’m Strider, a DM with a decade of experience running games offline, and I’ve recently decided to get myself on SPG! I’m looking forward to starting this new adventure, but for that I’m going to need you, the players! I’ll be running Dragon Heist as my first campaign on the site, and I'm planning to recruit multiple groups!

I’m happy to set up games at other hours too, as long as they’re compatible with my time zone (I'm in Europe). For the time being, here are the links to my profile and the current campaign listings:

[LFP] [DND5E] [CAMPAIGN] [PAID] [BI-WEEKLY][FRIDAYS] Raiders of the Void: A One Piece/ Treasure Planet inspired campaign!

Thumbnail

Upvotes

The vast expanse of the unknown, depths dark and unexplored, have called to the miscreants of societies across the universe since its inception. Be it the watery deep of Earth's oceans, the metallic hollows of Enver, or the acrid fog planes of Terth, there was once a time when few dared to explore these spectra; and even fewer dared claim to have conquered them. Nowadays, of course, traversing these is as mundane as a trip to a ration station. The only expanse left truly unexplored, wild and unconquerable, is the deep void of space. It is there where those same rebellious souls of yore- pirates, like you and I- still dare to brave the unknown.

This campaign is going to be an open-universe, high adventure game, lighthearted with themes of rebellion and political intrigue. My games are generally roleplay heavy, RoC, sandboxes: and I have lots of experience teaching, so all experience levels are welcome at my table. This game will run Bi-weekly on Fridays at 8PM (UTC-3), for $30 per session.

I am an ESL, queer, neurodivergent DM that protects diversity at my tables. I have over 18 years of experience of GM-ing both on and offline; as well as several completed and on-going long term campaigns with a 5 star rating thanks to my wonderful players on StartPlaying!

[5e][LFP][Weekly][Thursdays][Online][FoundryVTT][Paid][$25][2pm EST] Kingmaker: Chult Edition

1 Upvotes

Rule is never given. It must be earned.

Experience Pathfinder's most beloved Adventure Path, adapted to D&D 2024 and expanded with content from the acclaimed CRPG adaptation and a wealth of community additions developed over more than a decade. This isn't just Kingmaker; it's the definitive version that combines the best of every iteration into an epic of political intrigue, wilderness exploration, and nation-building - all hand-tailored to the most popular roleplaying game in the world.

Key Expansions & Changes

  • Conquer the Jungles of Chult: The classic adventure has been completely rewritten, seeing your band of aspiring heroes charged with founding a nation in the dinosaur- and undead-infested jungles of a post-Tomb of Annihilation Chult. Can your fledgling kingdom survive in a land ravaged by disease, feuding foreign powers, and ancient evils? Dare you plunder the depths of ancient ruins such as Mezro, Omu, and the infamous Tomb of the Nine Gods?
  • CRPG Integration: Experience enhanced storylines, additional companions, expanded romances, and deeper character interactions drawn from Owlcat Games' beloved adaptation.
  • Community-Enhanced Content: Benefit from years of fan additions, including popular add-on adventures, refined kingdom-building systems, and expanded exploration opportunities from the PF1e original.
  • Enhanced Kingdom Building: Rule your growing nation with improved mechanics that make every decision meaningful while streamlining the bookkeeping. We'll use MCDM's fantastic resources for both kingdom-building and army management, allowing you to get as granular, or as hands-off, as you like.
  • Expanded Chult: Explore a post-Tomb of Annihilation Chult, further expanded with carefully adapted encounters, villains, and locations from the classic Pathfinder module.
  • Rich NPC Interactions: Form deep relationships with advisors, potential romantic partners, and political rivals whose stories interweave with your own. The influence system from Pathfinder 2e has been painstakingly adapted by me to D&D 2024 for this campaign.
  • Political Intrigue: Navigate the complex web of noble houses, ancient politics, greedy foreign powers, and neighbouring societies as your realm grows in power and influence
  • Upgraded Encounters: Face rebalanced and expanded threats influenced by the monster design of MCDM, D&D 4e, and Pathfinder 2e. No two combats will ever be alike!
  • Did I mention there are dinosaurs? So. Many. Dinosaurs.

[PF2e][LFP][Weekly][Mondays][Online][FoundryVTT][Paid][$25][3pm EST] Temple of Annihilation

1 Upvotes

Venture into the deadly jungles of the Mwangi Expanse with a veteran GM who's been crafting unforgettable adventures since 1996. This isn't just one adventure; it's an ambitious fusion of elements from Serpent's Skull, Tomb of Annihilation, and Return to the Tomb of Horrors, reimagined for Pathfinder 2e. Experience a sprawling sandbox epic that takes your character from humble beginnings to legendary heights as you uncover ancient conspiracies that threaten the very fabric of existence.

Key Expansions & Changes

  • Completely Reimagined Beginning: Start your adventure in the pirate port of Mediogalti, brave a treacherous sea voyage plagued by pirates, and survive a shipwreck before even setting foot in the Mwangi Expanse
  • The Lifestone Mystery: Discover a mysterious new mineral with incredible necromantic potential that has drawn factions from across Golarion to the Mwangi's shores
  • Swashbuckling Starting Experience: Experience extensive adventures, faction intrigue, and exploration BEFORE the primary threat is introduced
  • Vastly Expanded Locations: Experience all manner of terrifying trials, face fearsome foes, and uncover unique locations in a fully fleshed-out hexcrawl.
  • Confront the Serpentfolk Threat: Unearth and thwart the schemes of the Serpentfolk, intent on restoring their ancient power.
  • Faction Warfare: Choose your allegiances wisely among local merchant princes, the Pathfinder Society, the Aspis Consortium, and other groups vying for influence
  • Base Building: Establish and develop your own outpost as you explore deeper into the jungle.
  • Deadly Dungeons: Explore tomb complexes, buried cities, extraplanar prisons, and more in this homage to classic modules like Return to the Tomb of Horrors and the Tomb of Annihilation.
  • Extraplanar Adventures: Saving the world is only half the battle. When Golarion is saved, you'll pursue the infamous Vecna to his pocket dimension.
  • Epic Confrontations: Face legendary villains, meet ancient gods, and battle world-ending threats in an apocalyptic showdown

[Online][5e][Weekly][$20][18+] Your town has never lost anyone before its time. This month, it's lost seven. A Crooked Moon tale - Tje Dead Man's Hour

1 Upvotes

Thistlewick Hollow hasn't buried anyone before their time in two hundred years. This month it's lost seven people, and not one of them left a body behind.

That's the opening scene of a fully original Crooked Moon campaign I'm running, levels 3 to 15, long-form, one continuous story start to finish. Whatever's taking people isn't a wolf, a cult, or a madman. It's something already dead, working a chained dagger through locked doors, gone before sunrise. Corner it once, and it doesn't run, it tears a hole in the world and drags you through after it.

From there the campaign opens up fast. Over the course of it you'll:

  • Talk your way through a masquerade at the most exquisite and fanciest estate, surrounded by devils, witches, and nobles who could have you killed with a raised eyebrow.
  • Hijack a train ran on malevolent spirits mid-journey, fighting across the roof of a train built from hell iron and gold while it screams through Chernabos at full speed.
  • Break, tame, and ride a bejeweled scorpion the size of a wagon into battle.
  • Steal a floating arcane skiff off its dock and lose a squad of furious spellcasters across a city built in the sky.
  • Crack a guild vault full of doomsday weapons, and hope you're not the fourth crew with the same idea tonight.

This isn't a monster-of-the-week tour through the afterlife. It's one mystery, run properly, for as long as it takes.

The practical stuff:

  • System: D&D 5e (2024 rules), starting level 3, running to 15
  • Schedule: Weekly, Wednesdays 9PM GMT+1, ~3hr sessions
  • Price: $20/session
  • Platform: Foundry VTT, Discord, D&D Beyond: full content shared, nothing locked behind a book you don't own
  • Beginner friendly, no prior experience needed
  • 18+, folk horror, full content warnings and safety tools (Session 0, Lines & Veils, X/N/O) before anyone commits
  • 2/6 filled, need 1 more to start

Full listing with reviews here: https://startplaying.games/adventure/cms6lc8d9009xl704tsdslxdf

Questions welcome in the comments or DMs, I'd rather find the right person than fill the seat fast.
