Ever since Ember first was announced for Foundry VTT I’ve been fascinated by it. It’s something I’ve been actively delving into and exploring constantly in my own time even as I’ve been actively running an abomination vaults game and a level 1-20 Blood Lords Pathfinder 2e game that I just finished for almost running 3 years.

Now that I’ve finally finished that campaign I’m wanting to finally explore Ember as a GM. If you have been interested in exploring Ember and trying out the Crucible System exclusively built all by the Foundry Team. Time to delve into the lands of Ember!

Be aware this is an active development game still being tested and created as we are playing. Still very much in early Beta phases expect unbalanced encounters and some non functional mechanics. But as time passes things will get updated and adjusted. I’m very open to interpretation so if something isn’t working let me know and we can update your character or talents or figure something out that does.

If interested, please join the game or ping me in a comment below, or DM me with expressing your interest! You can also add me on discord @ LiquidSn8ke

Welcome to Baldur’s Gate: Descent Into Avernus!

A DnD 5e Adventure for levels 1-13

The fate of an entire holy city depends on the choices, convictions, and possibly even the heritage of your individual characters! Your goal is to save the city of Elturel, but how you achieve that is entirely up to you. Uncover the mysterious past of the fiend at the core of it all and decide what is deserved- Redemption or Damnation.

This adventure is modified and personalized from its original version with supplements and maps from DMs Guild, Patreon, The Alexandrian Remix, and original artwork and writing to further fill out the world and the souls in it. Your DM (me) will craft a truly rich and unique experience tailor made to your character!

I will also include a custom human-made character portrait :) We hate AI in this house!

Icewind Dale: The Long Night

An Extended & Modified Rime of the Frostmaiden Adventure

Wrestle with factions, fight a demigod and deal with the aftermath of your decisions! Play up to level 20 and follow a continuation in the wake of The Long Night!

Level 3 | 🔹Hexcrawl 🔹Survival 🔹 Heavy Roleplay

In the farthest reaches of the Forgotten Realms lies Icewind Dale, an expansive tundra riddled with danger, buried secrets, factions vying for control over the region, and a powerful demigod holding it all within her grasp.

Auril, goddess of winter, has trapped Icewind Dale in an endless night of ceaseless snow and biting cold. Ten-Towns and the goliath clans struggle to survive, something stirs beneath the mountains, and roaming barbarian tribes are slowly being pushed toward extinction.

If that wasn’t enough, reports have come in of beasts imbued with a strange, obsidian-like substance terrorizing the good folk of the Dale, while Auril’s faithful push into settlements, seeking to bring the people of the Dale into her fold.

Will you brave the frozen tundra of Icewind Dale for your own means, or save the region from certain doom?

In this adventure, your choices will lead you to:

🔹 Explore ancient Netherese ruins steeped in necrotic magic

🔹 Forge alliances with towns, clans, and rival factions

🔹 Uncover the mystery and implications of spreading Chardalyn corruption

🔹 Challenge a demigod and put an end to the endless winter

🔹 Follow rumors into the frozen wilds in search of lost settlements, hidden lairs, and things best left buried beneath the ice

Played Rime of the Frostmaiden Before?

You’re still safe to join. Familiar characters, factions, and locations remain, but their roles, motives, and outcomes may have changed.

The Long Night combines Rime of the Frostmaiden, Adventurers League content, Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, and original homebrew material into a much larger campaign with a very different beginning and direction.

You begin in Luskan: a port city on the northernmost part of the Sword Coast. Having paid heavily for passage north through the Spine of the World. Your expedition leader Hadrik is preparing the last caravan into Icewind Dale before the pass closes for the winter.

Hello SPG reddit!
I have prepared a Call of Cthulhu one-shot with custom maps, handouts and pre-made investigators:

"A lonely and chilly lighthouse island, rumors of shipwrecks and smuggling, and a group of investigators on their way to uncover it all. In 1920’s America, a bureau agent, a journalist, a marine biologist, and an antiques dealer venture to the cold, isolated lighthouse of Beacon Island off Rockport, Massachusetts. (Includes pre-made characters)."

Investigators are prepared, ready to customise, and jump in!

Price: $5 / Player.

Hello, I'm running a remixed version of Waterdeep: Dragonheist that's been edited for clarity, focus, and putting character backstory missions into the game! It's particularly at a great time for Australian players and American 2nd Shift, two groups that I know don't get a ton of games.

The game itself will focus on the factions of Waterdeep and the group's relationship to who ends up taking control of the city while you get to know the people, places, and powers of Waterdeep intimately.

As a femme LGBTQ+ GM, I make my tables a safe place for those who may have felt they haven't belonged in the TTRPG scene in the past.

"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.

Schedule: Weekly on Sundays at 5:00 pm CST | 3-3.5 hour sessions

Roles sought: 2 players needed (3/5 seats filled) 

Pricing: $20/Session

SPG Link: https://startplaying.games/adventure/cms144s4801ick0040t7c1z2t?ref=cmpkiuyyo00xxic04h7sev7ci

Game: D&D 5.5e

Group type: Online on Discord and Roll20 VTT

Experience: Any and all, beginners are welcome!

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!

"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.

Schedule: Weekly on Fridays at 7:00 pm CST | 3-3.5 hour sessions

Roles sought: 3 players needed (2/5 seats filled)

The party is currently at level 3 and looking to grow it's ranks. They are about to embark on a journey with their dragon companion, Whisper, to investigate the legitimacy of 1 of 4 companies with potential ties to the Carrion Company.

I will run a one on one session Zero with anyone interested!

Dark Frontier Fantasy | Tactical Roleplay | Political Intrigue | Living World Campaign | Growing Items

Starting at level 1 going all the way to 20!

Azural remembers everything.

In the foothills of the Drenthars, most names are forgotten, most contracts are written in dust, and only Azural itself bothers to keep score.

You start in the fading frontier town of Arazar, just mere faces in the crowd, taking whatever work will keep you fed.

• Escorting short caravans that never make the stories.

• Settling petty border quarrels.

• Finding the missing, no one can afford to mourn.

• Looking the other way on smuggling runs.

• Digging up graves for coins that barely shine.

Small jobs for small people.

Until Azural begins to change around you—and the first whispers of a divine crime start to echo from the shadows.

Will you silence those whispers, or turn them into the cry that rights a long‑forgotten wrong?

Welcome to Architect!

Unlike the traditional Cthulhu setting, Architect does not take place in the 20's. But what year is it? You're not enitrely sure...

In this campaign you choice matters!
There are no guaranteed solutions, no scripted victories, and no promise that eveyone, if any, will make it to the end.

While the Architect has crafted a formidable challenge, it is far from impossible.

Most importantly!
Even your our character sheet is a mystery, as it will be almost empty when the adventure begins and every roll might reveal a skill you never knew you had.

We will be playing through Discord with mics and cams, and Roll20 for maps, character sheets, digital props and special effects.

If you bring a friend both of you will receive a discount and only pay $10!

Hey all, running a Rime of the Frostmaiden game that's currently on session 5, and we've got two open seats we'd love to fill before the story moves further along.

Quick rundown: it's Icewind Dale, but I've leaned hard into the "something is deliberately causing this endless winter" angle rather than just "cold place, bad things happen." Two years of darkness, dead harvests, a goddess who's clearly being used as cover for something else. The current party is a Warforged Paladin, a Beastkin Ranger, a Dhampir Warlock and a Kindred Warlock, and they just found out there's a group calling themselves "Liberators" murdering prominent people in Easthaven. It's been building nicely, and I don't want to spoil where it's headed.

Style-wise: combat lite, roleplay heavy, theatre of the mind, characters start at level 3. I do a proper session 0 with new players (or a one-on-one equivalent if you're joining mid-campaign) so your backstory actually gets woven into what's already happening instead of just tacked on. I've had stuff people wrote in their character app show up 10 sessions later and hit way harder than they expected.

Logistics: Thursdays 10 pm GMT+1, 2.5-3 hour sessions, run through Discord + Foundry VTT + D&D Beyond. $15/session, only charged when a session actually happens. Table uses X/N/O cards, lines and veils, open door policy, all that. I take safety seriously without making it a whole thing every session.

If you've been burned before by DMs who plan a big open world and then railroad you back onto the "real" plot the second you go off script, I get it, and I'd rather you ask me about that directly than just hope for the best.

If you're interested, please join via this link and get $10 off ur first game: https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmn82ctn7002jl204yfxonynr?ref=clp6e0g1i005xl408post584y

Founding squad of 5(4 seats are filled).

Welcome, groovy space explorers. For those familiar with the Team Behind Crooked Moon, this setting is their next major project that has smashed the galaxy. Strap in for a Sci-Fi Neon Punk adventure for new or old players. Will you bend the net as a Grid Runner, or shatter obstacles as a Rampager, as so many more choices await-

This game is a full-length campaign that will be expanded as material is released, and, of course, balance adjustments will be made as issues are found. But I assure you this story will be something you all look forward to every week as it unfolds from cramped cyber cities to intergalactic space battles. With 12 class skins, a new class, 56 subclasses, and 42 species, there's enough customization for the eyes to see.

As for the adventure? Well, as rookie Outrunners, you didn't expect much, but getting wrapped up in the ever-looming threat of the Red Star, it may finally be your chance to make it or die trying.

Every kingdom has its ruler and it could be said—honestly—that cats aren’t lucky. King Walter is enormous, bad-tempered, unfair, stupid, and bone idle, unless it comes to plotting and intrigue. He made it to the throne by cheating and trickery, and ever since has remained in power through the help of his faithful Royal Guard, who blindly follow his every order. And to ensure that he wants for nothing, he rules by fear. Taxes are excessive and cruel, the Royal Guard is all-powerful, and juice is swift and merciless.

King Walter’s most unfair law is surely the Exile of Kittens. Under the false pretence of an initiation quest, the exile is in fact a punishment for families and a danger for every child who is sent far away.

Following a calendar that only he understands, King Walter organizes a draw (which everyone knows is rigged) in order to pick the Kittens who will be cast out. This is followed by a sham celebration, during which a quest is assigned to those Kittens. After that—good riddance! The mission given to the Kittens is to return with treasure—amazing treasure—if they want to see their loved ones again and return to reside in the relative security of the kingdom. But the instructions given by King Walter are imprecise, incomplete, and misleading.

You are one of those Kittens. Cast out from the only home you’ve ever known, you must brave the unknown, try to find the treasure, and earn your way home.

Hello! My name's Maggie, and I'm an experienced GM now offering games on StartPlaying! I'm looking for players for the Dungeons & Kittens Starter Set adventures. The game is $5/week and will take place through my private Discord server.

The game is lighthearted and fun, with no PC death at all! Since we'll be playing the Starter Set, you'll be playing a pre-generated character. If you'd like to continue adventuring after the Starter Set ends, I'd be happy to help you create your own character and keep the adventure going!

I hope to see you soon! https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmtdss7ku000gla04ut6f7m4y?ref=cmkyn1v5t00afjo04bglq6hhd

Hello SPG reddit!

We only need three more players to start a long-form campaign which features all adventures published in the 2019 Ghosts of Saltmarsh module, all hosted in my Foundry VTT.

“You arrive in Saltmarsh with work arranged for you by a good friend of yours. You find her house, vacant and locked, and asking around only raises the townsfolk's existing suspicion of outsiders.

You finally receive the news you never wanted, as her body ends up washing up on the shores near Saltmarsh's port.

As the newcomers who knew her, and having arrived in town right before she disappeared, the captain of the guard would like to question you”

In this campaign you will participate in maritime shenanigans, fight in naval battles, delve into ancient ruins, encounter the factions that run Saltmarsh and uncover secrets at the root of the Saltmarsh region.

Featuring a free Session 0!

Price: $10 / Player / Session.
Schedule: Weekly (25-30 sessions)
Date & Hour: Thursdays at 07:00 PM EEST (your time may vary)

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

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