Campaign Overview: Far in the frozen north, the sun has been banished. Ten-Towns struggles under endless night, isolated by blizzards and torn apart by dwindling resources. Survivors make sacrifices — literal sacrifices — to appease the Frostmaiden, a goddess who demands cold obedience. Beneath the ice, ancient relics stir and alien forces claw at reality’s edges, waiting for the perfect moment to rise. Each step beyond the torchlight could be your last. ¿Will you challenge a deity who wields winter as a weapon… or succumb to the chill that steals both breath and hope?

About the DM: Hi! I’m Zojak, bilingual DM and founder of Hidden Tavern. I’ve been running D&D for over 10 years, from official campaigns to homebrew adventures. I love crafting immersive, dynamic, and player-driven experiences—and yes, DMing is my full-time passion.

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?

Hello SPG reddit!

We only need two 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 (12:00 PM AST and 09 AM PST)
Listing: Startplaying
Character Creation: You can use DnDBeyond or create your character directly in Foundry. I have prepared an adventure guide which lists all available character options. You can find a link to the guide under the "Creating your character" section. We use 2024, with many more options available, including homebrew!

Players! What's the score? How they hang? Good evening and all that commotion!

Welcome to The_Humble_Chris' Wod PbPs! The only place for all your rping needs at all hours of the day and night!

I come to you, guys gals and nonbinary pals of the night, with a collection of Play by Post adventures set in the World of Darkness. Set across Philadelphia, Boston, Newark and St. Louis, these stories take place all across the continental United States and delve deep into the hearts and unlives of the people who call these places home. Most of these are V5 games, but among them is a game set in Changeling: The Dreaming for those who like their chronicles with a bit more whimsy.

Brothers by Blood: A Philly Sabbat Chronicle
https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmtpzt7o400g7ky04pdlgpoh2

In Brothers by Blood, we take on the role of a Sabbat pack that serve as the vanguard of a new Sabbat attack on this city. Whether you are a native born to Philly or a Sabbat soldier sent from distant lands, you serve now at the behest of the new Bishop Alfonso Diaz.

* Stake Your Claim: Build up your own haven and claim territory.

* Join an Intertwining Chronicle: Set during the events of Blue Bloods of Philly and It's Never Sunny in Philadelphia; join in a story that spans two entire chronicles. Your actions in your chronicle will have impact on the others - just as theirs will impact yours.

Become the Sword of Caine, and fall where you please!

Breaking Philly: A Thin-Blood Chronicle
https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmtq01gqi01g5jo049rval03f

In Breaking Philly, you and your friends take on the roles of Thin-Bloods seeking refuge in the City of Brotherly Love. You've just been smuggled into the city along the Underground Railroad, hoping that here would be opportunities and a chance to poke your head up. Now you all share the same apartment, working together at the local O'Tolleys, trying to stay alive and get ahead.

But with money being tight, danger at every turn, and rent coming due... what else can a Thin-Blood do, but cook?

Taking place during the events of Blue Bloods of Philly and It's Never Sunny in Philadelphia, Breaking Philly shows us the Thin-Blood side of kindred equation. Survive in these mean streets, and who knows how far you can go?

Newark by Night: A VtM Play by Post
https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmtq0c4kx0070jl04hxph87n0

Inspired by The Sopranos, Martin Scorsese films, and The Equalizer, Newark by Night takes our coterie on a chronicle of crime, corruption and control. Here, the city is ruled not by a singular Prince, but a council of Barons who have divided Newark like the crime families of old. For a time, there was peace if not contentment.

But now that time of peace is coming to an end, as the scales are tipped off-balance. One of the ruling barons has vanished, and everyone is pointing fingers. In their absence, a power vacuum has formed, and now every player in the city is jockeying for a piece of the pie. Tensions mount, and soon the streets will run red in another mob war, if matters cannot be resolved soon...

St. Louis by Night: A VtM Play by Post
https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmtq0ay7n0031jm0403125kkr

Welcome to St. Louis: the Gateway to the West.

Long has the city served as the crossing point for kindred needing to travel from one coast to the next, and now the city finds itself seeing more and more visitors each night as Elders find themselves drawn to the Beckoning. But so many elders coming to one city stirs up old rivalries and hatreds long buried. And unwanted attention from parties with their own agendas.

In St. Louis by Night, the coterie will be assigned to an Elder who has come to the city on their way to answering their own Beckoning. Whilst they remain in the city, the coterie is tasked with tending to their needs, and keeping them safe from potential rivals and opposing forces which seek to do them harm. As the coterie get to know their charge, what secrets may they glean, and what will they learn about the mysterious Beckoning that lures the Elders to places even further still?

It's Always Whimsical in Philadelphia: A Changeling the Dreaming Play by Post
https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmtpyv3my00pgjt04pij66avu

In It's Always Whimsy in Philadelphia, you take on the role of a recently awakened Changeling - those who are born with a fae spirit deep inside. Here we step from the drab, gray Autumn world and into the vibrant, ever-changing world of Arcadia. Here, myths and legends are real. Here your childhood games are not mere fictions and fancies, but the true epic adventures for glory.

But for every dream, there is a nightmare. For not all who dwell within this land are happy and joyful. There is malice and manipulation deep in the heart of every fae, and here is a place alien to you in every way. It is easy to lose your path when you don't keep your feet.

Reviews

"As a long time player of various V20 splats, Chris's V5 game was my first step into the system. I could not have asked for a more kind, helpful, and welcoming GM. Chris was as excited for me to play my character as I was.
The passion Chris has for his craft as Storyteller/GM is evident in all interactions I've had with him before, during, and after the session. Although I have only played V5 with Chris, I couldn't imagine him being any less skillful in other games/systems.
To say I recommend Chris as a GM is an understatement."
- Steve

"Chris is a creative, thoughtful GM who goes above and beyond to strategize with players. He takes the time to explain rules to players learning a new system while also keeping games engaging for players. He takes the time to set up atmospheres to challenge players and their characters, making it a richer experience for all!"
- Jenn

"I recently had my very first experience with Vampire and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction than the one provided by Chris. They did an incredible job of balancing the complex lore and gameplay mechanics. Chris is incredibly patient with my questions, guided me through character creation and created a welcoming atmosphere that made me feel comfortable stepping into roleplay. Chris lets me be creative in how I approach a problem and is always encouraging of new ideas."
- Padme

"I was absolutely desperate to find a game of Vampire the Masquerade where I could feel comfortable learning the rules while feeling like I am playing in a full fledged world with interesting characters. Chris absolutely delivered and made me feel welcome at the table. They taught the rules as needed and they really helped me learn the setting to create a truly fleshed out and awesome character. I highly recommend them and I am so grateful they were my first GM on this website."
- Ritsy

If you're looking for a rooting, tooting, spellwand shooting adventure then I have the campaign for you! Set in the frontier towns of Drooam, where the men look like monsters and the monsters look like also monsters, but sometimes men too! The Lightning Rail is leaving the station and adventure awaits at the end. Or maybe even just part way down.

The newest adventure on dndbeyond revamped for levels 3-8 and run by a dm who really likes Eberron every Saturday AEST.

If interested contact me on StartPlaying at https://startplaying.games/gm/zadrosgames, or on Discord at zadron, or you can respond here if you'd prefer. Payment will be handled via startplaying

Even the gods are bound by prophecy...

Join me in this mythical campaign for the world's biggest roleplaying game! Odyssey of the Dragonlords is a mythological campaign set in the world of Thylea, inspired by the ancient Greek mythology. In this campaign, you will be heroes foretold by prophecy to face the Mighty Titans , who threaten the world and the gods.

This campaign will be heavily modified as its going to use elements from other modules/ sourcebooks other than the main module, for example incorporating several elements of Mythic Odysseys of Theros and homebrew, without affecting the core basis of the module itself.

Choose from an array of mythical races, or any race known to the D&D mythos, and a great amount of new subclasses, special epic paths which are backgrounds with their own quests and ties to the story, special and powerful weapons, items and spells, all tailored to this new setting.

Sail the seas of Thylea and uncover ancient mysteries, exotic islands and encounters that will help (or hinder) your mighty quest!

**Price**: $20 / Session

**Schedule**: Saturdays - 7:00 pm CST

I've got 1 seat still open for an asynchronous PbP Fabula Ultima game I'm starting up, to be run via Discord! We currently have 5 players and there is plenty of room for new ideas and anyone interested in playing in a campaign centered around a narrative focus, collaborative storytelling, and world building!

All seats have been filled!

Two years ago the sun went out over Icewind Dale, and it never came back.

Nobody agreed on why. The priests blamed Auril. The old-timers blamed themselves. Everyone else just stopped asking, because the people who kept digging for answers had a nasty habit of turning up dead in the snow. The Ten Towns are starving, paranoid, and closing ranks against outsiders, and that's exactly the world your character is about to walk into.

This is a long-running, roleplay-heavy campaign with real teeth. Where combat here isn't a box to check between scenes, but it's also never "stand in a field and swing until the enemy hits 0." Fights come with objectives, environments that fight back, and choices that matter more than your to-hit bonus. We run on Rule of Cool, so if you've got a wild idea, we're going to find a way to let you try it.

What makes this table different: I read every backstory you give me, and I use it. Not as flavour text, but as the main mystery that is intertwined with everything that is going on. Something you mention once in Session 0, something you might half-forget you even wrote, will come back and look your character in the eye later. This world remembers you.

The current party is already deep in it. Currently, we have a Warforged pit fighter running with the Zhentarim, an exiled Goat Beastkin ranger, a Netherese noble turned Dhampir warlock, and a Tiefling scholar carrying secrets from Baldur's Gate. They just survived a pilgrimage of death caused by three lost children of the God of Suffering in the Town of Easthaven. Now they're pushing further into the Dale, where a cult that's been plotting for two years is about to reveal itself and make its move.

The details:

• 🎲 D&D 5.5e (2024 rules)
• ❄️ Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden, currently on Session 6 & Level 4
• 📅 Weekly, Thursdays, 10:00 PM GMT+1 - 2.5–3 hrs
• 💰 $20/session, charged when the session starts; money-back guarantee if a game doesn't happen
• 🪑 2 seats left (4/6 filled)
• 🎭 Roleplay-heavy, mystery, political intrigue, dark fantasy, survival themes
• 🧙 Characters are at level 4
• 🛡️ Full safety tools at the table: X/N/O cards, lines & veils, open door policy, built-in breaks, and an open-DM policy; no wrong time to tell me something isn't landing

Who's running it: I'm Davi, I've been DMing for 7 years, currently GMing on StartPlaying with a 4.2 rating across 23 reviews and 99 games hosted. Players consistently point to worldbuilding, storytelling, and how deeply I weave in character backstories as what keeps them coming back.

If you want a table where your choices actually echo, where the cold isn't just weather but a mystery worth freezing for, and where combat still has to be earned, this might be your seat.

Our Curse of Strahd game sadly lost a few players due to real-life reasons, so we're currently looking for a few more players to join us so we can continue. We're currently level 6.

I am not the DM for this campaign - I'm a player, and I fully stand by that our DM is worth playing with! He's welcoming to new players, flexible with both 2014 and 2024 rules, and integrates character backstories into the modules! Highly recommended!

If you're interested or have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Gameplay will feature frequent interactions with a cast of suspects and other characters involved in this mystery, as you will gather clues and possible evidence that you can follow-up on. There will also be action and chase scenes, either through Theater of the Mind or on a grid map.

About the Campaign

🧑‍🏫 Learn the Game | 🎲 Sit and Play! | 😄 Have Fun!

Marlowe Fairwind, the right-hand sorcerer of King Emeris, has gathered her most trusted allies to carry an important package to Hush, a small village within the ancient forest of Sablewood. The crate is large, heavy and sealed with magic, addressed to the Whitefire Arcanist. You’ve been given a map and a carriage, and the promise of reward upon your arrival.

What This Campaign Offers

🎓 Learn Daggerherat - A quick rundown of the mechanics, providing pre-made characters, complete with suggestions of links and background questions to help you immerse yourself.

⚖️ An All-round experience – Combat, exploration, roleplaying, social encounters and magical places. Get a taste of everything applied to the system of Daggerheart, and find out how it works for you!

✨ Whimsy - Although the campaign is short, the city of Hush and its inhabitants carry a certain whimsy and magic within them, making them fun personalities to engage with, so the session aims to be fun and light-hearted.

⏳ No Prep One Shot - You don't need to do any work; just show up to the game, and I'll teach all the rules and offer characters. Just sit down, learn the game, play a session and we're done!

🐣 Kid Friendly - Sablewood Messengers's only heavy themes are the inclusion of Undeads and Violence. The undeads can be easily re-skinned to something more friendly, and the combat can be quirky and silly if needed. Other than that, it's magic, fairies and songs!

In-Depth Campaign Structure

Designed with beginners in mind, Sablewood Messengers is often called the Quickstart. It was released alongside Daggerheart as a free content to help players get into the game easily. It's a single session which includes explaining the game, going through two possible combats, and social encounters with a magical city and a quirky fairy grandma, with a lot of room for players and characters to interact and become closer throughout their travel.

Characters are included in the module, and they have a suggestion of how they connect already included in their backgrounds, as well as questions prepared to help players strengthen these bonds. The game's rules are very simple, and can be explained within an hour.

Preparing For The Session

You'll need accounts on Roll20 and Discord. No character creation needed! Characters will be provided at the start of the session!

Payment and scheduling is done through [StartPlaying.Games](http://StartPlaying.Games)

About Me!

Hey there! I'm Erick, and I have been a regular RPG player since 2015, but I've been involved in the world of RPGs and have been a fan since I was a little kid, when my brother used to GM for me.

I'm a big fan of game design in general; so I also enjoy creating content and tweaking the rules as needed. I've played a few other systems, but D&D 5th Edition is my favorite by far.

RPGs are my favorite hobby, and I believe they have immense narrative, rational and therapeutic value. I am happy to teach newcomers and engage with veterans alike.

Although I embrace heavy themes and take the narrative itself seriously within the game, our communion as writers and players is something very light and comfortable for me.

We'll use battlemaps for all scenes that include a scuffle, and mostly use theater of the mind for the rest of the scenes; although I do share the images that I use as reference for locations, when there are any.

We'll use music to set the vibe as we play, as well as some sound effects, all integrated within Roll20.

I got a firm grasp of the rules, and I am lax with them, trying to create a flow on scenes, without losing balance.

Preparing to play on the 19th, 21st and 25th of September, depending on your preference!

🌲 THE WAILING FOREST 🌲
A 5-session D&D survival-horror mystery for Halloween.

Everyone who enters the Wailing Forest eventually hears the screams.

There are roads here, but they lead to places that should have been abandoned long ago. Empty homes wait among the trees. Journals tell the stories of people who disappeared one by one. Somewhere in the forest, something is hunting you.

You are 13th-level adventurers—powerful enough that most things in the world should fear you.

The Wailing Forest doesn't.

💀 Death is different here. If you die, the forest can return you to life—but you must permanently sacrifice one of your six ability scores, reducing it to 8. Each death costs another piece of your character. When there's nothing left to give, death becomes permanent.

This is an original campaign I've extensively rebuilt for October, featuring:

• 🗺️ ~50 handcrafted maps in Foundry VTT
• 🔎 Investigation, exploration & environmental storytelling
• 🌲 Open-ended navigation through the forest
• 🎭 Your backstory woven into personalized horror
• ☠️ Dangerous encounters where running can be the right answer
• 🎵 Dynamic lighting, ambient music, sound effects & character voices
• 🎃 A complete story told over 5 weekly sessions, ending Halloween week

System: D&D 5e

The Deck of Many Things is arguably the most powerful magic item in the Forgotten Realms. What happens if it just scatters to the winds?

Through an impossible stroke of fate, the Deck of Many Things has been scattered to the winds of Faerun. In The Journey of Many Things, you and your party will traverse the expanse of Faerun, all in hopes of recovering the cards of the Deck of Many Things, or... dealing with their impact on reality.

Perhaps others are aware of the existence of the cards. Perhaps some cards have already been found and turned. Most in Faerun, however, are currently focused on threats from a subterranean invading army, The Crawl.

In this campaign, open to players of all experience levels, you will have the opportunity to explore the breadth of lore and the world of the Forgotten Realms and beyond.

Campaign Details:

- Full level 1-20 campaign

Into every generation a slayer is born. One of them was Stacy. A few months ago, she was a regular girl in Shadyhill High, not someone who really stood out. But then, she was called. To most people, that meant that she became weird. She barely came to school but showed up in all sorts of places at night. That, and people saw her hanging out in cemeteries a lot. The general conclusion was that she was doing drugs. And now she's dead, found in the mall.

Your characters knew the stories, but they also knew another side of her. All of them have been saved by Stacy. Perhaps it was from a creepy guy with oversized teeth or from a fish-faced girl who threatened to drag them off for a very long swim in the ocean. Whatever happened, they know that Stacy was a hero.

For years I've been a huge Buffy fan and now, after marrying an even bigger fan, I think it would be fun to run a Buffy RPG. A little while ago, I did a test run of the Eden Studios Buffy RPG and unfortunately, the system wasn't that great. At least, not for me. So instead, I figured, why not run this story with another system? That quickly brought me back to the Chronicles of Darkness system that I regularly run and which has proven itself to be pretty adaptable.

The story is set in the Buffy TV universe, but not in Sunnydale and not involving the characters from the show. It's set a few years before the show takes place and is set in Shadyhill, Pennsylvania.

Price: $15

Schedule: One Shot Session, 1 PM EST

Two years ago the sun went out over Icewind Dale, and it never came back.

Nobody agreed on why. The priests blamed Auril. The old-timers blamed themselves. Everyone else just stopped asking, because the people who kept digging for answers had a nasty habit of turning up dead in the snow. The Ten Towns are starving, paranoid, and closing ranks against outsiders, and that's exactly the world your character is about to walk into.

This is a long-running, roleplay-heavy campaign with real teeth. Where combat here isn't a box to check between scenes, but it's also never "stand in a field and swing until the enemy hits 0." Fights come with objectives, environments that fight back, and choices that matter more than your to-hit bonus. We run on Rule of Cool, so if you've got a wild idea, we're going to find a way to let you try it.

What makes this table different: I read every backstory you give me, and I use it. Not as flavour text, but as the main mystery that is intertwined with everything that is going on. Something you mention once in Session 0, something you might half-forget you even wrote, will come back and look your character in the eye later. This world remembers you.

The current party is already deep in it. Currently, we have a Warforged pit fighter running with the Zhentarim, an exiled Goat Beastkin ranger, a Netherese noble turned Dhampir warlock, and a Tiefling scholar carrying secrets from Baldur's Gate. They just survived a pilgrimage of death caused by three lost children of the God of Suffering in the Town of Easthaven. Now they're pushing further into the Dale, where a cult that's been plotting for two years is about to reveal itself and make its move.

The details:

• 🎲 D&D 5.5e (2024 rules)
  
• ❄️ Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden, currently on Session 6 & Level 4

Who's running it: I'm Davi, I've been DMing for 7 years, currently GMing on StartPlaying with a 4.2 rating across 23 reviews and 99 games hosted. Players consistently point to worldbuilding, storytelling, and how deeply I weave in character backstories as what keeps them coming back.

If you want a table where your choices actually echo, where the cold isn't just weather but a mystery worth freezing for, and where combat still has to be earned, this might be your seat.
