Hello! I have been dming for 6 years now, mostly pathfinder. This will be my first Dungeon Crawl Classics game I have dmed. The system looks amazing! I already have 1 player and the start date is unknown right now. I'm just trying to gauge interest and see who would want to play! So feel free to reach out if you're interested! We use Discord for Audio and Video but the vtt is unknown right now. If I can get my foundry to work then we will probably use that.

So, I'm looking to add some folks to a game I'm running due to us having some scheduling issues due to some current players having work/college stuff happening. Just wanting to add 1-2 people to make sure we have enough to play more regularly.

The World:
A number of ages have passed since the known beginning of this world. The Age of Turmoil where behemoths of the primordial elements clashes and fought. It's existence only known from vague tales of people long since passed and the conjecture of modern scholars. The Age of Giants where the divine being Annam arose as did his children: the giants. The giants would be the prominent civilizations across the realm and relics of their existence and culture can still be found. However, the period of time known as The Shattering would see Annam broken in a grand cataclysm, his divinity fragmented and the prominence of the giants ended with it. Those fragments would lead to the creation of other gods, many whom are known today. It would be under the guidance of these new gods that the humanoid races would begin to make the world their own.

The Kingdom of Az'Shivar
A country consisting of a harsh desert and home to mostly elves, Az'Shivar stands as a natural divide between the northern continent of Varnight and the southern continent of Aisenfell. Much of its land remains claimed by the desert, but you can still find civilization thriving in natural oasis or by the grace of the Seldarine (the Elvish Pantheon) and their followers. The Church of the Seldarine holds nearly as much power within Az'Shivar as the royal family itself and the two are closely intertwined. The current king, Galinndan Liadon "recently" took over for his father about 200 years ago and has been aggressively working to make his mark. From making deals with pirates to harry vessels in strategic places to make Az'Shivar's ports the safer routes to use, to rapidly developing cities off the backs of the Church, his methods are ruthless but have brought positive change to the people of the kingdom. 

The United Principalities of Raash-Grumgar
Once a collection of orcish tribes in the Eastern Plainlands, those tribes would be conquered and united under the banner of legendary champion: King Volgash Raash. There are many tales of this King gaining the loyalty of each tribe through battle, skill, and honor. Even today, bards sing his praises just as loudly as when he still lived. While not blood-related, each tribe would have a representative who would take the title of Prince. However, the years would drag on and eventually the King would pass away, leaving his position open. It would be agreed upon that whoever would gain the vote of all of the Princes would be named King. As you might expect, none could gain the favor of so many amid various grabs for power. As it stands, there has been no King since. The twenty-three Princes now both lead their respective territories and act as their territory's representative in the Grand Council which is the main decision making mechanism for the country without a King. Each territory and its Prince vary greatly, each with their own friends, enemies, and rivals amongst each other.

Keelig
Keelig is considered to be the most 'magical' country in the region, mainly because of how it is governed. The Sorcerous Houses of Keelig are many different noble families who all possess some level of sorcerous powers. The level of influence in the country, among the other houses, and among other members of the same house all comes down to magical power. The current leader of Keelig is Sorentha of House Zaldoa. While the nobility have magical abilities, all those who don't in Keelig are thought of as far lesser beings by the nobility. As such, the average person in the country has a great fear and ingrained respect for magic and those who wield it.

The Fierdlands
To the north where the winters are bitter and the summers mercilessly short, is the kingdom of the Fierdlands. A difficult land to survive in, let alone thrive, the Fierdlanders are made of sterner stuff than most. More often than not, the people here focus on collective survival. They will help their neighbor during hard times and expect that help in return, as there is sort of a unspoken rule that everyone is stronger together. From this thinking, a willingness to help and honor are seen as just as crucial as strength and skill. The country is currently ruled by King Thurvold Aurokvir often referred to as 'Old King Thurvold' given his advanced age, he is a well-liked ruler who is known for being benevolent and dutiful. Surprising most, he is a Frost Giant, often considered the last one known to exist. 

The Campaign so Far:
The party started off as members of a specialized task force in The Fierlands who serve the kingdom and solve problems that would be difficult for the normal military to solve. They would travel around the country, slowly finding signs of an impending war with Kellig. Now, after helping buy their kingdom time before the war, they find themselves in the Principalities seeking allies for the coming conflict.

The Party:
(Bottom two have had scheduling issues but still could show up)

- A fiendish werewolf of a homebrew class that's all about tanking.

- A elven warlock whose dealings with winter-y archfey went very well for her. Can't say the same about her ex-fiance.

- A life domain cleric of Helm who is kind of the heart of the party.

- Undead bear-man ranger who became a vampire after deciding to eat a vampire the party just killed.

- Nepo Baby, rich guy, giant soul sorcerer whose dad is the patron of the task force most of the group is apart of.

Stuff to Know:
- The party is currently level 7

- We'll be using Roll20 for maps and sheets, and Discord for VC

- While most of the party are a member of this task force, your character doesn't have to be. They're currently at a time where they're searching for allies. So, I'm sure they won't turn down any help.

- The campaign takes place in The Fierdlands, but they party are currently traveling outside of the country. They are currently in the Orcish Principalities.

- There is a very light amount of base-building in the game as the party has been given control over a small village near the border with Kellig. It's currently mostly filled with undead, common folk who needed a place to start over, and any oddballs the party has taken a liking to.

What I'm Looking For in a Player:
- Decent mic
- Be 18+ (we're all in our twenties or older)
- Respectful to others at the table
- Know how to share the spotlight
- Be punctual/respectful of everyone's time
- Creative
- Can/will communicate if there is a problem

But if any of this interests you, send me a DM with a bit about yourself and your discord. I'll be doing a small interview to not only as sort of a vibe check, but also to explain a bit more about the world and such to make sure that this is a game that you want to join.

Hi! I’m a DM on the East Coast putting together a new D&D 5e campaign using the 2014 rules. I’ve been running and playing for about 5-6 years, and I’m hoping to find people who are fun to hang out with, not just fun to game with.

The pitch

The war has dragged on for longer than anyone can remember, and nobody knows if it will end. Soldiers are running thin, supplies are running thinner, and the noble houses back home are less interested in winning than in profiting from the fighting. You’ll be pulled into a web of secrets, shifting alliances, and quiet betrayals, where the people who say they’re on your side may be the ones keeping the war alive. Who really benefits from this war, and what would it cost to end it?

The vibe

A serious story with real stakes at a relaxed table. We’ll take the plot seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. Expect a balanced mix of roleplay, combat, and exploration, plus classic D&D staples like dungeons, monsters, and loot between the scheming. I love weaving character backstories into the plot, so if you enjoy giving your character secrets, rivals, and old debts, you’ll fit right in.

Logistics

• Friday or Saturday evenings (ET), about 3-4 hours. Weekly or biweekly, depending on what works for the group. We’ll lock in the night and the pace together once we’ve got our players
• Discord for voice and text, with an occasional in-person session if the group clicks and lives close enough
• 3-5 players
• 21+ only
• All experience levels welcome. I’m happy to help new players build a character.

How to join

Fill out this short form by Sunday, October 25: Link. I’ll reach out to shortlisted players for a casual Discord chat, and then we’ll hold a Session Zero before starting. I can’t reply to everyone, but I read every response. If you already have a group, you’re welcome to apply together.

You can also find me on Discord at arbiter11764.

P.S.: Reply to the post if the link is down for some reason, it shouldn't be, but you never know.

P.P.S : Everyone’s welcome here, including LGBTQ+ folks. The one rule is to treat your fellow players with respect. Bigotry and general jerkiness aren’t welcome at my table.

Years ago, your life was forever changed by a brush with the Feywild. As a child, you found yourself irresistibly drawn to the glamor and spectacle of the wondrous Witchlight Carnival as it passed near your home. For whatever reason - a dare, an inability to pay, an innocent mistake, or some other motive perhaps lost to memory - you snuck in without buying a ticket. You spent the evening enchanted by the beautiful and the bizarre, but after leaving, you realized you had not truly attended for free. Something was taken from you, something intangible, and by the time you realized, the carnival was gone. This loss has haunted you ever since. Now, at last, the carnival is back in town, and you’re returning to the Witchlight to take back what was stolen from you. 

*

I want to run the Wild Beyond the Witchlight module and I’m looking for 3-5 players to join me! I’m planning to hold 3-4 hour sessions every other week on Wednesday, Saturday or Sunday, depending on what works best for people. I’ll be using Discord and Roll20; I prefer to have everyone be able to see each other on video, but it’s not a hard rule. 

This is a very RP-forward module, even stating in the intro that it’s possible to resolve the story without ever engaging in combat. I enjoy running combat and don’t want any characters’ abilities to feel useless, so I’ll be balancing it more than that, but it’ll still lean heavily towards RP. Even though the adventure itself is lighthearted and often a little silly, I’d prefer players take RP ‘seriously’ in the sense that you make decisions in character and engage with the story.

A note on genre/tone: as Curse of Strahd is a horror module, Wild Beyond the Witchlight is a fairytale module. It’s a story that includes unicorns, giant snail racing, a gang of plucky orphans, a bullywug named Dumphrey Frogart, and a talking spoon. Multiple NPCs will speak to you in rhyming couplets. There are elements of dark fantasy and the more grim (or Grimm) side of fairytales too, but the prevailing sentiment is whimsy. You don't have to create a lighthearted or whimsical character; in fact, I bet it’s probably really fun to play a PC who’s out of their element. Just be forewarned that, while you can absolutely play your jaded oathbreaker with a tragic past and a thirst for revenge, she will almost certainly be challenged to a poetry contest by a gnome. 

if you're interested, please tell me a little about yourself and your availability: https://forms.gle/NxUHY88RmTT9iLnj8

[Untold Stories] [5e 2014 + UA][Survival Style focusing on combat - Free games][Looking for players][Daily games timezone mainly GMT+3] [Online]

We are looking for players for a style DnD campaign that is combat focused with survival aspects of the game paying rent, taking note of food and travel time, if you like realism you will love it here, we welcome veteran and new players alike and have players to help you during the journey.

Length of Campaign: Big Adventure Campaign with small one shots style that has saved progress at the end until a stable party is formed to do the hard campaign quests

General Overview of Campaign: After a big war that included many races one of them lost its trust . They were the Dwarves. Some of their clans sided with the bad guys in the war. Players will start as new adventurers recruited by a guild with the purpose to help cities, towns and settlements and get that lost trust back.

You start at level 1 and build your character from there, you can Multiclass as much as you like.

Why hello there r/LFG.

We're an established D&D 5e group looking to recruit 1-2 additional players for our ongoing homebrew campaign. Our group has been playing together consistently for over four years, now, with primarily homebrew based campaigns coming out of my ADHD infused brain. Bourbon too, sometimes that helps with my creativity. [fun fact, two of our consistent members came from r/LFG years ago]

A little about our current campaign:

The original campaign took place in the fictional continent of Eldervale, where the players became involved in a massive civil war following the violent overthrow of the ruling Royal League. The party navigated political intrigue, forged alliances with noble houses, commanded armies, fought legendary enemies, and ultimately helped determine the fate of the continent. I use rule of cool now and then cause well, I'm the DM. My goal is for players to feel PART of the story. If you have some wild fantastic idea you discuss with your fellow players, I might just find some way to put it into the story.

You: A member of a mercenary company serving one of the remaining royal houses in an ongoing struggle against outside invaders. The River Hounds, a relatively younger mercenary company are nonetheless caught up trying to defend their homeland.

Our current campaign, [REDACTED] (spoilers :)) continues that story, exploring the consequences of the previous campaign's events. The party is now dealing with the situation hundreds of years later, trying to figure out their place in the world. Meanwhile, forgotten civilizations, ancient gods, and secrets buried beneath the continent are beginning to resurface.

The campaign blends traditional high fantasy with political intrigue, military conflict, exploration, ancient mysteries, and occasional darker themes. Player decisions have lasting consequences, and the world continues to evolve around those decisions. As a DM, I also am quite forgiving of mistakes. I am not hear to punish you, I want you to be part of the group/story for the adventure. My idea of "winning" is you having a fun, enjoyable time where you want to come back.

A little about our group:

• Playing together consistently for 4+ years.
• Currently a mid-level party (approximately levels 8–9).
• Mix of roleplaying, exploration, challenging combat, and overarching storytelling.
• Extensive homebrew lore, recurring NPCs, and a living world shaped by player actions.
• Looking for someone reliable, friendly, and interested in becoming part of a long-term group.
• I'm the type of DM where if I think you did something cool/unique in a session, well, you get bonus XP.
• What I don't tolerate: hostility, combativeness, disregard for your fellow players, etc. If you wanna min-max, fine by me, however, my enemies do in fact learn...
• I make mistakes as a DM, it is what it is. If you're looking for perfection, well, I am NOT the DM for you, I know my weaknesses.
• Yes, I once made a map where the PCs controlled actual army units on a battlefield and had to make command level decisions.

Schedule: Every Friday, 930pm EST
Platform: Discord
System: D&D 5e, however homebrew rules and fun ideas are allowed.

You don't need to know anything about the previous campaign(s) to join. I'm happy to help new players get acquainted with the setting, and there's plenty of room to develop your own character's story within the larger world.

If you're interested, shoot me a message with a little about yourself, your D&D experience, and complete this document to apply.

Thanks all!

Hello!

I am looking to run a new campaign based on the Curse of Strahd module. This will be a long-term campaign running from level 3 to around level 15. This campaign will be a mixture of roleplay, adventure and combat. I am looking for character-focused players who love to pour a lot of detail into their PCs. I am a player-focused DM who loves actions with consequence, and creativity in roleplay.

The campaign will be based in Owlbear/Discord on Sunday Evenings (around 6pm to 9pm GMT+0).

I am looking to assemble a party of 5 for this adventure

If interested, please fill in the below form and I will reach out via Discord.

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSceFKFokbm85mgVxZE-wrDBz4SGkzSqBvt_gDyEjRDnvDvenQ/viewform?usp=dialog

The campaign premise:

Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind's howling increases as he turns his gaze down toward the village of Barovia. Far below, yet not beyond his keen eyesight, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd's face forms the barest hint of a smile as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they came—all according to his plan. A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. The master of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner... And you are invited.

Hi! I'm a beginner looking for a small, welcoming D&D group to play with on Discord!

I own the 2024 Player's Handbook (5.5e) and would appreciate help creating my character and learning the mechanics. I'd prefer using D&D Beyond for character creation.

I'm looking for a roleplay-focused campaign with some combat, and most importantly, a friendly group where everyone feels included and valued.

If you have room for a beginner, I'd love to hear from you! 😊

We're about to start a new campaign of Pathfinder 2nd edition remastered near SLC. We have an established group, but would like to open it up for more players. We meet weekly on Monday evenings.

We're all in our thirties, and met each other in an online forum like this and had a lot of success establishing a new friend group. I'd love to give more people that same opportunity to meet friends and have some fun.

We're not Pathfinder devotees - it's just what we're playing right now. If you're hesitant about playing something that isn't DND, don't be. We're happy to help people learn the rules and Pathfinder gives the same opportunities for telling amazing fantasy stories with your character.

Hey there all! My friend and I recently left our previous campaign due to interpersonal issues with a problem player, and we're looking for a new table to join to fill our Saturdays!

I am Tabby/Tom (She/He), and I am joined by my friend Cassidy (Any). Both of us are 19 going on 20, and we are both roleplay-focused players with a good amount of experience in TTRPGs, especially D&D and Daggerheart.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We are interested in a roleplay heavy campaign, with a semi-serious story where there is room to have fun but also make meaningful decisions that impact the plot, with a queer, or queer-friendly GM and table.

SYSTEMS: D&D 5e/5.5e, Daggerheart, Pathfinder 2e

TIMEZONES: GMT+8/Philippine Time, GMT+10:30/ Australian Central Daylight Time

TIMESLOT: We're hoping for an evening game, preferably starting around these times on Saturdays, with 4-ish hour long sessions.

GMT+8/Philippine Time - 6PM onward.

GMT+10:30/Australia Central Daylight Time - 9PM onward

GMT+1/UK - 11AM onward

EST - 6AM onward

CDT - 5AM onward

MDT - 4AM onward

If you're interested, please DM me here, comment on this post, or send me a message over on discord @pixelpancake246! We're excited to meet you and get to rolling!

Hey everyone! I'm posting this on behalf of my GM for his new game.

I'm currently looking for 2 additional players, ages 21 and older, for a mystery/horror TTRPG set in the late 1970s. The game will focus heavily on character development, investigation, interpersonal relationships, and slow-burn psychological horror with supernatural elements.

THE PREMISE

It's the late 1970s.

An unusual advertisement has begun appearing in newspapers across the world.

An anonymous individual is offering a rather generous sum of money to young adults willing to participate in a two-week parapsychological study in a remote town in Washington State.

Travel arrangements, accommodations, meals, and recording equipment will all be provided. Participants have only one responsibility: document their experiences and report anything unusual.

It sounds like easy money.

Two weeks away from home. A little adventure. Maybe even a good story to tell afterward.

WHAT TO EXPECT

It is a FULL campaign even if the start sounds simple enough. You can expect mystery and investigation, psychological and supernatural horror, character driven storytelling, 1970's setting, and player agency! Your choices, your actions will dictate what happens next in the story.

THE SYSTEM

It is a very simple homebrewed system that will be explained to you once you're in the group. It uses D6's and it's super seamless and simple. Whether you're a veteran in TTRPG or not, you'll be able to grasp it in no time.

WHO I'M LOOKING FOR

I'm hoping to find two creative, collaborative players who enjoy immersive roleplaying and developing complex characters. Players must be 21 years of age or older. Characters will generally fall within the 18–24 age range, as they're young adults responding to the advertisement.

You don't need to be an expert at TTRPGs. I'm far more interested in players who enjoy storytelling, character interactions, and contributing to an engaging group dynamic.

INTERESTED?

Please fill out the form HERE.

Name of the Game: The Curse of Strahd: Reloaded

NOTE:

We had four players in this campaign. Unfortunately, one of our players has to drop out due to personal reasons, and we're looking for two new players to join us. As the DM, I believe I can comfortably handle a party of five, so we're opening up two spots for new adventurers!

One-Paragraph Description:

The Curse of Strahd Reloaded is a heavily expanded take on the classic Curse of Strahd, based on Dragnacarta's Curse of Strahd Reloaded supplement, alongside several homebrew elements (created personally by me) that significantly edit and restructure the story and expand the lore of Barovia. The campaign has been running for approximately 17 sessions, but don't let that intimidate you! I promise to do my best to introduce the new characters dynamically and organically. While giving your characters decent reasons and motivations to work well. You'll be joining an ongoing adventure, but there will be plenty of opportunities to establish your character's place in the world since the adventure is only approximately 18-20% (by my word count in the adventure plan) done.

System Used: Dungeons & Dragons 5.5e (2024 rules)

Content Warnings: Tragic horror, dark themes, blood, gore, graphic violence, child abuse, drug use, and other mature themes.

Is it safe for underage players? No.

Game Format: Long-term campaign.

Session Duration: 3–4 hours.

Scheduling Information:

Session 0 will be held on/ before Saturday, 24th October, at a time to be determined. This session will not primarily focus on character creation, as characters will be created beforehand. Instead, we'll focus on getting your characters from their initial circumstances into the cursed land of Barovia, introducing you to a few major plot threads and getting you used to my kind of DMing. It will end with you guys being in a position where you can come into contact with the rest of the party in our usual sessions, which are on Sundays, from 5 to 8:30 IST.

About the DM:

My name is Arnav, and I'll be your DM for this campaign. I'm looking for players who enjoy immersive storytelling, dark fantasy, character-driven narratives, and a setting where choices will most definitely have consequences. Since this is an ongoing campaign, a willingness to engage with the existing story and to collaborate with the rest of the party will be especially appreciated. Players who especially like somewhat challenging combat and good roleplay are especially welcome!

Player Selection Process:

Selection for this campaign will not be first come, first served.

Attached to this post is a character guide for the campaign. Please read through it and come up with a character concept that you'd like to play. Once you've got an idea, DM me with your character concept.

I'll go through the concepts and let you know whether you've been selected to join the campaign. By Wednesday or Thursday of next week.

Take your time with the guide, give your character some thought, and don't feel pressured to rush out a concept just to be first!

Along the way, you'll encounter desperate survivors, questionable allies, hidden cults, tragic histories, & impossible moral choices, all while navigating a land where hope is scarce, trust is dangerous, & Strahd's influence reaches far far beyond the walls of his castle.

I'll post this a few more time before Fri; shoot me a message here on reddit or at my discord (LilDynomite#5028) with the 4 Italicized letters I put randomly in this post somewhere in your message if you'd be down for a this classic vampire hunt, and we can set up a quick vc interview whenever you'd have time.

Hey! I’m Hirsut (22 y/o. He/Him), and I’m looking to join a group for some roleplaying. I’ve been playing DnD for around 3 years now and also some VtM on the side. My schedule is somewhat flexible, and I’d be looking for times around 7pm CET give or take, though I’m fine with moving it a couple of hours before or after. The format I’d be looking for would be voice chat in Discord and a VTT like for example Owlbear Rodeo or Foundry. Also, I’m fine with speaking either English or Spanish.

What I’d be looking for in a game would probably be a balance of seriousness and light-hearted moments, as well as building an engaging narrative with the group and a character backstory with the DM. I enjoy character growth narratives, group dynamics, drama and a darker atmosphere (though lighter ones are fine as well!).

I am perfectly fine with Homebrew, and in fact if possible I’d be looking to use some as well: Pointy Hat’s Necromancer class, specifically the Hemomancer subclass. The pdf is free, and I’m willing to provide it if necessary for review. Of course, I’m completely open to modification, negotiation and reaching an agreement (in all aspects of play, not just the character class).

If you’re interested feel free to DM me on discord, my username is buerchastain.

After a decade-long hiatus, the gladiator-style combat event is back, with a new twist. With a new organizer taking the helm and new technology advancements, this event is looking to be a wild one. This nationwide event brings in all walks of life. This year, the prize isn't just fame, glory, and a small fortune; it's much more. The King of Escalon has agreed to grant any favor within his ability to the winner of the tournament. With that incentive, who wouldn't put their hat in the ring?

I hope the concept hooked you! This is my homebrew world of Escalon, and I'm happy for you to experience it. The setting is mainly fantasy with a touch of magi-tech and steampunk. Throughout the game, you will be put through various challenges. Most of the game will take place inside the event space, so there isn't much outside exploration. Between challenges, you will be in a type of hub world where you can buy items, socialize with other contestants, and even play some games for extra cash.

All players welcome; this is an LGBTQ+ friendly space. The goal of the game is to have fun. I ask any player who joins to abide by the social contract of playing an immersive roleplay game. Just remember we are all people wanting to play a game; it's not that serious. I believe I am a pretty easy-going person, so if we can be considerate of others, this will be an amazing game!

If you have any questions about the campaign or me as a DM here is my Start Playing Games profile. I Also have some videos on my socials for additional context. DM me here, SPG, or socials if you’re interested in joining.

Welcome to Whitesparrow!

The god of this universe hates you for doing good.

We're a party of 5 players, and you're welcome to join us!

System: D&D 5e (2024 Rules)
Schedule: Every other Saturday, 12–2 PM EDT / 11 AM–1 PM EST
Platform: Mostly theater of the mind, with Owlbear Rodeo
Communication: Discord (invite upon request)

1. Campaign Overview

I'm planning three connected campaigns, progressing from linear, combat-focused adventures to a full sandbox.

Campaign 1: Whitesparrow (Current) - Poor village setting, 10 self-contained adventures. - Levels 1–3.

Campaign 2: Ruins of the Grendleroot - Mountain setting, 10 self-contained adventures. - Levels 1–5 (level reset).

Both campaigns: Linear, combat-focused adventures, each spanning 2–3 sessions (40–60 weeks per campaign).

Campaign 3: City of Arches - City-based sandbox focused on exploration, roleplay, and player freedom. - Levels 1–20 (potentially, with a level reset). - Duration unknown; development begins during Campaign 2.

Campaign 3 is a long-term plan, subject to change.

2. The Connecting Story

The overarching story mainly serves to explain level resets without interfering with individual adventures.

After Campaign 1: The universe's god punishes the party by resetting everyone to level 1.

After Campaign 2: Fed up with the party's bullshit, the god sends them to another universe (isekai), erases their memories, and resets their levels again. The new gods seem more reasonable, thankfully.

All equipment, possessions, and money carry over between campaigns.

Hello everyone!

I am a huge nerd and have been playing TTRPGs for close to a decade. I’m a local in Center City, Philadelphia, currently studying and working as a mechanical engineer. A bit about me: I love music, the arts, 3D modeling, science, birds, and nature. I am not shy, get along with people easily, and hope to make some genuine friends!

I just finished running a two-year-long campaign last month, and everyone in the party loved the tearful ending. But when I confessed a few weeks later that I was burned out, nobody else wanted to step up and try being a DM. Ultimately, it’s been 5 years since I last got to be a player, and I’m really hoping to find a local group that is more private.

If anyone knows of any IRL campaigns with an open slot, I’d greatly appreciate your recommendations!

Also any players in Philadelphia looking for a game, LMK!

Edit: we have now some utility characters, missing a caster now,

Hi! My name is Opal and this is my first time DMing. A couple of friends and I had the idea for this campaign because I keep dropping random lore facts about the bosses when all they wanted was the strats for how to kill them :P. Regardless of the extensive lore to explore, this will still be a character RP focused campaign. The world is wide open in all directions for exploration with interesting people, history, and conflict under every stone unturned. My goal is to make the campaign around an 8/10 in difficulty scaled to player experience. I want things to be challenging and dangerous, but not overwhelming.

This campaign has progressed and hit a bit of a wall with people having scheduling conflicts so we are doing a half rebuild. We currently have a tanky barbarian, a melee half caster, and a ranged bow and arrow dps. We are looking to go to 6 players and as such need 3 more :).

We are going to have a resource reset so everyone is coming in on a similar power level and we are lv 8. Today we will do a quick meet and great and hopefully character creation as well as a quick description of where we are and why.

About the Homebrew

I have made a decent amount of homebrew to add a few osrs mechanics into D&D that will hopefully feel new and interesting. I have also added a few optional buffs to the heal / utility role that should make playing support feel more impactful and proactive. There are no role requirements, but I have made a few iconic osrs items into 1 artifact each for melee, range, mage, tank, and healing. Due to these new mechanics, your characters should be feeling a lot more powerful than normal, but don't worry, given how overwhelming osrs can get at the highest levels, you will need all the help you can get :D. As this is my first time doing this, I've done my best to balance, but I may need to update some things as we go. Your input will matter when this occurs.

What you need

A mic, a discord account, a dndbeyond account (free, I can help set it up).

When

Every week, Saturday 8am until 2 pm EST. Any time zone is welcome as long as you can make the times. You do not have to make every week, real life comes first, but the goal is that the people who join this campaign do want to do so, and as such, we'll be running a session with 4+ people at the "table".

Who

Currently it is me (dm) + 3 players, and we're aiming for 6 total players.

You

Beginners welcome, but it will be a trial by fire for the combat! For your character, there are no restrictions other than 5e 2014. Beyond that, feel free to ask and we'll try to make it work together :). Backstories, flaws, and goals are all open to you, but you can ask if you need help with any of them. Hit me with your most fun / crazy ideas, but remember everyone else wants to play too. "Yes and" is the name of the game!

Feel free to DM me if you are interested :D

The Third Age is drawing to a close, and a shadow is rising in the east. Sauron, the Dark Lord of Mordor, is gathering his armies, preparing to plunge Middle-earth into war. Orcs raid the borders, ancient evils awaken beneath the mountains, and the free peoples of the world grow divided. With Gondor weakened, Rohan threatened, and the Elves slowly departing Middle-earth, hope seems to be fading.

You are a group of adventurers brought together by fate, each with your own past, ambitions, and reasons to fight. When a mysterious message summons you to a forgotten settlement, you discover that a danger long thought buried has begun to stir. Your journey will take you through dangerous forests, forgotten ruins, and kingdoms on the brink of destruction.

The fate of Middle-earth rests on the choices you make.

Races allowed elf, human, dwarf, and orc

Any class allowed

Hey peepz! Names Kara and I am a 22 year old heavy roleplayer who loves gritty, dramatic, and personal games that allow for deep roleplay, character dynamics, and personal journies! So having said that, I have always wanted to find a long running Vampire The Masquerade group to play with but have never really found one, so here i am trying once more to find a ST or group willing to take me in! :]

As you can tell im a very big roleplayer, however im also just a big nerd as well lol! I love video games, music, books, writing my own stuff, and all types of nerdy media. Fav rn is Lord of The Rings!

Rambling a bit but for some good info, im open to both v5 and v20! Hell any World of Darkness system I'd be open to hearing out honestly. My available days to play are Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays in the EST timezone! Im sure theres more info i should be putting here but my brains kinda blanking on it rn, its 4am lol.

If I sound like a good player for your chronicle then please DM me!
