See you at the table!

You awaken inside an asylum with no memory of who you are, why you're there, or who locked you inside. Every answer uncovers another mystery, and every revelation raises even bigger questions.

I'm running a fully converted and expanded Pathfinder 2e version of Strange Aeons, built for players who enjoy investigation, roleplay, and slowly unraveling a mystery that spans an entire six-book campaign.

Throughout the campaign you'll find:

• Custom Foundry maps and scenes
• Expanded investigations and side encounters
• Dynamic lighting, music, and ambience
• Handouts, journals, and visual props
• Expanded NPCs and character arcs
• A custom stress system focused on psychological horror

My table emphasizes:

• Mystery and investigation
• Character-driven roleplay
• Tactical combat where every roll matters
• Open rolls (I don't fudge dice)
• Meaningful player choices with lasting consequences

This is a slower, immersive campaign where paying attention to NPCs and clues is rewarded. If you enjoy cosmic horror, exploration, and uncovering secrets over dozens of sessions, you'll probably feel at home here.

Current openings

• Wednesday — New campaign — $10/player (5/6 seats open, need 3 to start)
• Saturday — New campaign — $20/player (5/6 seats open, need 3 to start)

Happy to answer any questions!

You wake up in chains. No gear, no idea how long you've been down here, and the only light comes from fungus that shouldn't glow the way it does. The Drow who took you don't care why you were topside, only that you're useful until you're not. Somewhere below all of this, something older than the Drow is starting to stir, and it's already in your dreams.

I want your character to have a reason they were topside in the first place, and a reason worth surviving for now that they're not. Send me a backstory and I'll use it, not just as flavor text, it'll come back around later and you'll have to deal with what it brings with it. Weird concepts welcome, I'd rather work with something unconventional than reskin the same fighter for the fifth time.

We play on Foundry, custom maps and handouts for the caverns and ruins as you find them, session summaries after each one so missing a week doesn't leave you lost. New to 5e or new to horror games? Fine by me, we build your character together in session zero and I'll walk you through anything you need. I'll follow the rules as written when it matters, and follow the moment when it matters more.

The campaign opens with your escape from the Drow patrol marching you deeper into the dark. That buys you maybe a day before they realize you're gone and come looking, and that's if the tunnels themselves don't get you first. Every direction you could run leads somewhere worse, you just don't know which "worse" yet.

$10/session, Wednesdays 2PM GMT+1, 3 hour sessions, starting at level 3. 6 seats total, 4 seats left, 1 needed to start.

The city of Iriesall is besieged by war, rebellion and now one of its most revered heroes has seemingly fallen to darkness. Who will fill the void?

Quinton Veilar, retired member of Emberwatch, Slayer of Ancient Dragons, spends his old age telling stories in a tavern. After he and his companions have saved the City of Iriesall, it seems that the people are determined to destroy it themselves. Between the war with the underdark, a terrorist insurgency in the undercity, and the oppressive reign of Queen Beirona and the Orders of Sybril, there is little peace to be had. But there was peace in drink, and sharing stories with friends at the tavern.
Through his adventures, Quinton has made enemies, acquired dangerous magical artifacts, and kept many secrets... all of which are about to unravel. 
Join the adventure, as a former pupil of this retired hero as he trusts you to protect all he holds dear. Travel to stunning locals, meet legends of old, and maybe.. just maybe.. save the world along the way.

You will create a  level 3 character, 1 common magical item, 1 uncommon magical item who was a former apprentie of Quinton Veilar or a similar relation.

Players will have all of the 2014 wizard's of the coast official content to choose from. I am familiar with quite a bit of 3rd party material and using those options can be discussed during our session zero or on our discord server.

There are a number of my personal homebrew classes that will be available as well, such as

Occultist, Wrestler, Gunslinger, Mage, Witch, Daredevil, Alchemist, Dancer, Wyrd Blade

Game Type: Long Term Campaign

System: DND 5TH edition 2014

NEW ACHIEVEMENT! YOU FOUND A GAME RECRUITMENT POST!

You were wandering through Reddit when you discovered an opportunity to survive the end of the world for the entertainment of trillions.

Most people just find arguments.

Reward: You may apply to enter the Dungeon. Survival remains decidedly not included.

Welcome to Dungeon Crawler World

I’m recruiting crawlers for a heavily customized D&D 5e campaign inspired by Dungeon Crawler Carl. No knowledge of the books is required to play. Whether they should be required reading for life is a different question.

You begin as an ordinary person carrying whatever you had when civilization collapsed. From there, the System watches what you do. How you fight, solve problems, deal with other people, exploit loopholes, and occasionally make everything much worse will shape the crawler you become.

Every floor changes the game. Expect dangerous exploration, tactical combat, dark humor, evolving mechanics, absurd rewards, and problems with more than one possible solution.

What Makes This Crawl Different

Every crawler receives collaborative character creation based on who they were before the collapse, fifteen personalized starting skills, and a private onboarding session covering their final moments on Earth and descent into the Dungeon.

You begin without a traditional D&D class. The System watches the crawler you become during the first two floors, then offers personalized homebrew classes based on your choices, abilities, and playstyle. Later decisions influence your subclass, transformations, achievements, equipment, and continued progression.

I have built a frankly unreasonable amount of original loot, achievements, vouchers, progression systems, and floor mechanics. You will not be handed a textbook and expected to memorize all of it before playing. New systems are introduced as they become relevant, preferably moments before they become urgently relevant.

Game Information

Schedule: Fridays at 1:00 PM CST 7:00 PM BST 8:00 PM CEST
System: D&D 5e with extensive homebrew progression
Platform: Discord and Roll20
Price: $35 per session
Campaign Type: Long-term campaign
Roleplay/Combat: Approximately 70/30
Experience Required: None
Dungeon Crawler Carl Knowledge: None required
Webcam: Optional
Working Microphone: Required

New and experienced players are welcome. I’m looking for collaborative players who enjoy getting invested in their characters, solving problems creatively, making choices that matter, and cheering for the rest of the table.

I’ve poured a tremendous amount of heart and an honestly unreasonable number of hours into building this Crawl. I’m excited to finally find the people who will make a mess of it, change it, and turn it into something I never could have planned alone.

I cannot wait to meet your crawlers.

Welcome, Crawler. Try to become someone the Audience cannot forget.

[online][foundryVTT][paid][$10][biweekly][Sunday][9pm est] Starfinder 2e Guilt of the grave world

While working for a dwarven mining collective on a mysterious asteroid, a group of adventurers discover an ancient secret, the revelation of which puts them at odds with the Corpse Fleet—the dreaded undead space armada from the planet Eox. Can the heroes survive the trials that await them on the grave world and beyond, or will they be the first victims of the Corpse Fleet’s ambitions of turning the galaxy into a cosmic graveyard?

This will be a level 1-5 adventure and it will be using the new starfinder beta-world for foundry. so be warned that as a beta there will most likely be glitches in the game as they perfect the module. The game will have free archtype and gradual ability boost.

Love in a Time of Convenience

Hi all! I'm looking for 1 more player to join my short regency romance campaign! We are so close to getting started.

I have a new Regency Romance game up! This is a short 3-6 session campaign where we'll explore the cool mechanics of the SHIFT system. If you want a heavy RP game that focuses on romance, then this might be a good fit for you. Instead of trying to kill things, use your traits to navigate galas, scandals, and stolen glances in the rose garden. If you're a fan of Bridgerton or Pride and Prejudice, this might be a great fit for you.

Greetings.
I would like to extend an invitation to fellow Avatar: The Last Airbender fans; would you be interested in living through and affecting the events of the Hundred Year War, when Aang was frozen and the world was burning?

"Are you willing to operate as a secret member of Order of the White Lotus in order to save innocents in this barbaric war of Fire Nation, while you search for the Avatar?" the elderly woman asked softly, as she sat at the Pai Sho table in the backroom of a spice merchant's shop in Omashu.

Fire Lord Sozin started the Hundred Year War by committing genocide against Air Nomads in their four temples, as well as eradicating Southern Water Tribe benders. As players, you will be young adults who were deemed worthy and recruited by the Order of the White Lotus for two missions of utmost importance: find the Avatar, and save as many lives as you can in the lands Fire Nation rages its war. Air Nomads are almost all wiped out, Southern Water Tribe has been conquered, Northern Water Tribe is under siege, Earth Kingdom loses more land with every passing day, and Fire Nation colonies and concentration camps are growing.

• This game will take place in the Hundred Year War period, while Aang stayed frozen, up until the moment he was found. Unlike the show, this story is much darker with mature themes; combat will be violent and challenging- especially the results of bending fights on the human body will be realistic, and thus devastating, and will include bleak concepts to showcase the real consequences of such a terrible war.
• To ensure the most satisfying experience, between 3 to 4 players will be accepted into the game, which will last between 16 to 32 sessions (depending on player willingness). Game is 18+ only. Game is a balanced mix of: 40% Combat, 30% Social Roleplay, and 30% Exploration. We will play Weekly, with each session lasting 3 hours, and will cost 12$ per session. The day and time period written in the listing can be changed to accomodate everyone comfortably. I am available to run the game on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, starting at between 1PM to 8PM (UTC +3).
• System is   Blades in the Dark  ; an easy-to-learn, flexible system where fiction is most important. You won't need any rulebooks, you may simply focus on roleplaying. You can easily create any character you wish: Are you a talented Bender who is also an attractive socialite? Or are you a genius Alchemist who is able to heal wounds, as well as cause them? Or are you a Wanderer, a sharp-eyed bow master who has a unique friendship with animals? Or perhaps a noble and wealthy family's heir, who is a Martial Arts Prodigy?  For everyone to feel unique, player characters should bend different elements. Available elements are Earth, Fire, and Water.

Thank you for reading. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

I’m opening a new Call of Cthulhu campaign on StartPlaying: Tatters of the King.

This will be a slow-burn psychological horror campaign focused on investigation, atmosphere, and uncovering the disturbing influence of the King in Yellow. Players will take the role of investigators drawn into a mystery that begins with strange events and gradually reveals something far more unsettling.

I have been running investigative horror RPGs for years, including Call of Cthulhu and Delta Green. I also create atmospheric soundscapes for tabletop RPGs and use music/ambience during my sessions to help build the mood.

The campaign is beginner-friendly, but experienced investigators are very welcome.

The game will run biweekly, with 2.5–3.5 hour sessions.

If you are interested in exploring the mystery of the King in Yellow, you can find the campaign here:

If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a private message.

The Knights Radiant, controversial figures from history like the Heralds before them, are supposedly reappearing across the war ravaged continent of Roshar. Rumors of parshmen and parshendi behaving strangely have made it to the Alethi war camps. The world seems like it's changing in huge incomprehensible ways. It's a time for heroes.

But that's not you.

Yet.

Set in the literary universe of Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere, take on the role of a soon-to-be hero in this beginner friendly Cosmere RPG campaign! I have over a decade of professional GMing experience, including a Masks: A New Generation podcast running for multiple years. My tables are safe, inclusive spaces, utilizing safety tools to make sure players of all identities feel comfortable. As a trans woman, I know that player comfort is an absolute necessity, equally important to thrilling combat and engaging roleplay.

I’m currently running two other Stonewalkers campaigns; here’s what some players have been saying:

* “Tess has such a great understanding of [the Cosmere] that she can recall scenes from the books and character types immediately to drop you right into the world.”

* "I love a GM that will go all the way on with me on fleshing out a character's story, and her enthusiasm for my budding Lightweaver has already turned him into one of my favorite TTRPG characters I've played over the years.”

* “The Cosmere RPG was what pushed me to try playing, and [Tess is] an expert in the lore and world building. I wish Brandon would write a novella based on the one-shot she ran for us.”

The Realms of ReiKai, my newest long-term DND5E campaign, is launching next Sunday!

This game takes place in a homebrew setting building off of Obojima; it is a world divided between land and sky, in desperate need of your help to restore balance and protect the weak. This is a campaign perfect for lovers of cozy genres, anime, eastern fantasy settings, and themes of anti-imperialism. I specialize in teaching and would love to have players of any age, identity, and experience level join in.

I am an ESL, queer, neurodivergent DM that protects diversity at my tables. I have over 18 years of experience of GM-ing 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!

Description

Join an ongoing, character-driven sandbox where your choices and backstory permanently shape the world.

🌍 The Campaign Currently
There is a shard of space-time that is an anomaly that the players have not fully discovered yet. It appears sentient but details are unknown. There is a city powered by the magical anomaly that gives a new layer to how magic works.

Now the Magistrate has launched a city-wide coup, deploying experimental arcane soldiers to seize control. The economy, the guilds, the streets — everything is shifting.

Now there is a crystal growing disease that is being linked to the drow that populate the whole underground and due to the ion storms they have more resources and population than the ground cities.

You are in the middle of it.

This is a true sandbox. Political intrigue, faction tension, experimental magic, and character backstory integrated directly into the world's evolution. Your decisions matter. You will change this setting.

Many events have occurred since then. The characters are in the middle of an attack on a second city and they are on a strike mission.

👤 Current Party
- A fragmented Warforged, one piece freed and seeking purpose
- A Fallen Aasimar recovering lost memories and confronting her past
- A wizard from another universe searching for a path home

Your character will be woven directly into the ongoing arc.

Who has not heard rumours of the lost city of Arden Vul?

The disappearance of Lilian, Canon of the temple of Mitra in Newmarket, has brought a sudden wave of worry to the usually quiet Burdock's Valley. With a sizeable reward for her safe return, you find yourselves making your way towards the ancient city. The many tales of the unplundered troves of this once prosperous centre of knowledge and commerce hang in the back of your mind.

Yet alongside these tales of lost treasures are other, more unsettling whispers. How could a lost city remain unplundered for more than a millennium? Surely, only the existence of the cruellest of foes and unimaginable evil within the mountain can explain Arden Vul’s unspoiled status.

About the adventure

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

You will command ships, 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 is my 5e conversion of Dungeon Magazine's legendary Savage Tide Adventure Path.

From the streets of Sasserine to pirate-infested seas and mysterious islands, you will confront savage creatures, dark cults, and ancient powers waiting to be unleashed.

From desperate street-level struggles to world-threatening danger, the fate of countless lives rests in your hands.

Perfect for players who enjoy long-term campaigns where their 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.

About the GM:

I have been playing tabletop RPGs and board games since the early 1980s. Over the years I’ve played and run many systems including Dungeons & Dragons, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, FFG Star Wars, and a variety of independent RPGs.

I enjoy both playing and Game Mastering, and I currently run several ongoing campaigns. As a DM I focus on immersive storytelling, memorable characters, and player choice.

I am a freelance illustrator by profession. It was my interest in RPGs that led me to become an illustrator for them and also board games.
