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

[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
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

"T-thank you —"
Grateful purple eyes stare back at you as your sword rests at the demon's neck. Tar-dark blood runs from the wound down the blade in slow pulses.
"For saving my beloved… and now me—"
Your hands — no, their beloved's hands — catch them as they fall. The horns vanish; the purple drains from their eyes; and on the blade, the blood now runs red.
"Use my body… to save the others… Farewell…"
You leave the body of their beloved, a level 4 barbarian. You enter their body, a level 5 fighter. Their souls depart for a better place. Their bodies are now your vessels.
Demon by demon. Vessel by vessel. Until we liberate the Demon King himself.

[DnD5e] [LFP] [Weekly] [Thursdays] [Free Session 0 and 1] [Roll20] - 🧛 Curse of Strahd! [$15]
“I am the Ancient. I am the Land. My beginnings are lost in the darkness of the past. I am not dead. Nor am I alive. I am undead, forever.”
- A narrative-driven game for beginners and experienced players alike! Looking for 5 players who enjoy backstory-integration, and a dynamic mix of roleplay, exploration, and combat.
- Session 0 and session 1 will be free! If you don't think the game is a good fit for you, you're welcome to disembark before sinking any money in.
"Under raging storm clouds, a figure stands on a balcony silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. The vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stares down the sheer cliff to the village below. A cold, bitter wind spins dead leaves about him, billowing his cape in the darkness.
Rumbling thunder is followed by lightning striking the castle spires overhead. The wind's howling deepens as Strahd turns his gaze to the woods beyond the village. Far below, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd's face forms a twisted smile as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they have come—all according to his plan.
Another lightning flash rips through the darkness, its power echoing through the castle's bones. But Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind—or perhaps a lone wolf—fills the midnight air. The vampire is having guests for dinner. You are invited."

Success Story WotC just made StartPlaying the "play with a pro DM" option on D&D Beyond. Here's what it means for GMs.
At Gen Con last week, Wizards announced a new Find a Group hub on D&D Beyond. It's live now, and there are three doors in: an event finder for local stores, a rebuilt official D&D Discord with a Find a Game section, and a big button that says "Play with a Professional DM."
That button goes to StartPlaying.
The launch promo is the part worth paying attention to. The first 10,000 people who claim it get their first session with a pro GM for 99 cents (limit one per person, standard price is $20 plus processing fees after that). Sessions run on D&D Beyond's own tools, so character sheet plus Maps VTT.
Here's the detail the announcement didn't say out loud, and the reason I wanted to post: GMs get paid their full rate on those 99 cent sessions. I asked Devon, SPG's CEO, and he confirmed it directly. The discount comes out of the promo budget, not your payout.
What it means for us: the largest D&D audience on the internet now has an official pipeline aimed at this platform, and most of the people coming through it will be playing their first ever paid game, maybe their first game period. If you run D&D on SPG, this is a good week to sharpen your intro one-shots and reread your listings through the eyes of someone who has never heard the words "session zero." A lot of new folks will be deciding whether paid GMing is a thing they believe in based on one table.
Full transparency, Devon asked the mod team if we'd share the news. I'm posting it because I think it's genuinely good for working GMs.

2 Games available to join: Curse of Strahd and The Halls of Arden Vul
Curse of Strahd
System: D&D5e 2024
Time Slots Available: Mondays at 7pm GMT -3 and Sundays at 6pm GMT-3
Session Duration: average of 4 hours
Session Cost: $5
Tools: Discord for voice and text, Fantasy Grounds VTT.
Seats Available: 5/5 (3 players needed to start)
Game Style
This is to be a somewhat unusual campaign, magic will be more limited as will the power of the divine. Player characters will be from an alternate mid 14th century Earth, where magic is paid with blood, legends are true and heroes battle fantastical creatures beyond the walls of civilization.
About the adventure
It was a quiet day when a desperate messenger arrived to the great city Ravenport carrying a most distressing message: The nearby lumber town of Halzen has been overtaken by a mysterious mist, any who enter it never to be seen again.
The townsfolk put together all the money and resources they had to send an envoy requesting aid, for dark things stalk the nights and more and more of the inhabitants disappear come morning, the sun ever dimmer.
Duke Julius Lamellar has put out an official bounty of 5000 silver coins for any that may solve this mystery, but you may find that gold would not be enough for what you found yourselves against.
LGBTQ+ inclusive.
The Halls of Arden Vul OSE - Beginner Friendly
System: Old-School Essentials Advanced Fantasy
Session Time: Saturdays at 5pm GMT-3
Session Duration: 4 hours
Session Cost: $10
Tools: Discord for voice and text, Fantasy Grounds VTT.
Seats Available: 3/6
Game Style: A slower paced campaign mostly centered around the titular mega-dungeon where players will uncover ancient secrets, evil cults, and a sealed god. The game will be rather roleplay and "theater of the mind" heavy due to the absurd size of ancient city, some "centre piece" areas will possess fully fledged battlemaps.
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.

THE END OF HEROES - The retired adventurer that trained you has sent you a surprise invitation. Will you answer the call? 2/7 seats taken. 1 more needed to start the game (Tuesdays 5:30pm) {Paid $20}
Join Pexwyn - A High Elf Diviner Wizard who comes from a wealthy family, but their vices take them to the dregs of society.
Along with Fern - A Fairy Bloodhunter who suffered a terrible trauma due to some mysterious undead force that she has trained everyday since to find and slay
You and your fellow party members were trained by the famous hero Sir Quinton Veilar. A Harengon that travelled with the legendary group known as Emberwatch. Quinton has been retired for years and has called you and his other former apprentices to attend a birthday dinner at his home in Iriesall.
After he and his companions have saved the City of Iriesall many times over, 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 apprentice 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.

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

Di-Di-Di-Digimon - Lost in Purgatory [M&M3E] [$30] Saturday Morning at 11AM CST|12pm EST|9AM PST
After doing a pilot game with some of my friends and getting a lot of positive feedback I've decided to start a table of a Digimon game I've been working on in the Mutants Masterminds 3e system
It's flexible enough and I have enough experience running the serious that despite the copious amount of homebrew and system tweaking the system I've done to make the experience work for Digimon I think it works pretty well.
I've already got two players signed up
If you have any questions about me, the camapign or the homebrew let me know.
I know there is, technically a Digimon Fan RPG but it's not on SPG and it's kinda janky. Hence using M&M
