ETA: Thanks everyone who answered! I got a lot more responses than I expected!! I'm still going through and working out everyone's availability to put a group together, I will message you on discord about it (username ruushes) 😊

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

Running a role-play heavy campaign that prioritizes character growth over time in a heroic campaign. Combat will happen most sessions, but not all, and will serve a narrative purpose when it does.

Pitch.

The world is inspired by Grimm's fairy tales and several mythologies, and rooted in grief, memory, and the fear of losing loved ones. It is physically bounded on all sides by immeasurably tall walls, beyond which lies a universe of dancing celestial bodies.

It has 2 moons, a ring system, and strange orange stars that appear every 9th night. There are 3 planes including the Living plane which is the "Earth-like" one.

Most of the history is remembered only through stories and campfire tales. And the things not remembered fade from reality. Many families etch the names of their ancestors in stone tablets to avoid forgetting them.

Scheduling and logistics.

• There will be an extensive session 0 at 9pm eastern on Saturday, October 17th (Today).
• Sessions will be held from 9pm to midnight on Saturdays.
• Discord is required for voice.
• VTT will be discussed at session 0

Character Creation.

• Races will be restricted. But reskinning will be allowed.
• No Twilight cleric, Nothing from Explorers Guide to Wildemount
• All spells are allowed, but monsters are free to use anything you use. So be wary.
• Lucky feat is banned.
• All player characters should aim for similar power level.

Apply using the form below. Answers will be given within 2 hours:

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.

Hello! Let me be clear, there is no DM (YET). Me and my brother, 25 and 24, we're looking to put together a group of 5 for a long-term D&D 5e campaign set in a magical high school, academy, or university! If you've read the warning and are still interested, please continue on.

We're hoping to find like-minded players who want to dive deep into an immersive, story driven world and explore their characters' academic journeys, social dynamics, relationships, and personal arcs. We're currently looking for players to form a group first, after which we'll look for a DM who is interested in bringing this kind of campaign to life. We're not DMs ourselves, just players who have a particular campaign concept we'd love to explore!

We'd love to create a group where everyone is invested in the story, contributes to the roleplay, and enjoys watching their characters grow alongside one another. If you're interested in joining us, feel free to reach out!

What We're Looking For

Setting: Magical School, Academy, or University

We're specifically interested in a fantasy academic setting filled with magical studies, campus life, academic rivalries, social dynamics, hidden secrets, and school politics. We'd love an overarching storyline that extends beyond campus, too! Think Fantasy High!

We want to experience what it's like to live as students in a magical world, from attending classes and forming friendships to uncovering ancient mysteries and getting caught up in adventures far beyond the classroom.

Roleplay & Character Development

We're looking for players who genuinely enjoy roleplaying and immersing themselves in their characters. We'd love to explore interpersonal bonds, friendships, rivalries, personal struggles, and potentially organic character-driven romance as relationships develop naturally at the table.

We're not looking for joke characters or characters built solely to maximize combat effectiveness. We want characters who feel like real people within the world, with their own personalities, motivations, flaws, and goals.

Lore, Mystery, Puzzles & Exploration

We love rich world-building, uncovering hidden histories, solving challenging puzzles, investigating mysteries, and discovering secrets that reward curiosity and critical thinking. We'd especially enjoy a campaign where the school itself has a history worth investigating and where the characters' discoveries have meaningful consequences.

Pillars of Play

Our ideal campaign would lean heavily toward roleplay, approximately a 75% roleplay / 25% combat ratio. Combat is welcome, but we're more interested in character-driven storytelling, exploration, mystery-solving, and meaningful interactions than constant fighting.

System: D&D 5th Edition.

What We Bring to the Table

• A commitment to immersion: We want to fully inhabit our characters, engage with the setting, and let relationships and personal arcs develop organically.
• Experience and reliability: We're familiar with D&D 5e and have played multiple campaigns. We might need an occasional reminder about certain rules, but we're comfortable playing and committed to being respectful, engaged players.
• A love for collaborative storytelling: We want to contribute to the world, interact with other characters, and help create memorable stories together.
• Flexibility and open-mindedness: We're open to dark themes, complex narrative twists, mature subject matter, and gritty or dramatic storytelling, depending on the group's boundaries and the campaign's tone.

Who We're Hoping to Find

We're looking for players who enjoy roleplay, take their characters seriously, respect everyone at the table, and want to participate in a long-term campaign. You don't have to be an experienced roleplayer, but you should be willing to engage with the world and the other characters.

We're also hoping to find a DM who enjoys collaborative storytelling and would be interested in running a magical school or university campaign. Ideally, we'd love someone who enjoys world-building, mysteries, character development, and giving players room to shape the story through their decisions.

If this sounds like your kind of campaign, feel free to apply below or send me a DM if you have questions!

https://forms.gle/srebGzhbESCmM5rX8

We'd love to get a group together and see what kind of magical academic adventure we can build.

Let's make some memories, uncover some secrets, and survive magical academia together!

edit: Sorry I didn't say but the times we plan on playing for is between the times of 1 pm to 12 am EST.

edit again: For those who are wondering what style we are playing in, it will be Voice on discord. Not a pbp or video.

You are the last hope of humanity.

Dragons swarm the earth and rule the sky. The remaining population has been crushed, cornered into hiding.

Avalon, the frozen bastion, is humanity's final stronghold. Avalon was always isolated, now it might be all that remains. All of civilization is now surrounded by an enormous obsidian wall, fortified in all sections with Arklight crystals to form the invincible magical barrier over the city — Nyriel's Cradle.

Tactics, technology and knowledge of the outside world have been mostly lost after humanity's countless defeats. Day by day, regular people are comfortable inside the walls. Those who look beyond daily survival fear society turning on one another over depleting resources, the four noble houses struggle for order and two very different sides of what's apparently the same religion spark constant disagreement.

You are an Adventurer. An individual brave enough to want to venture out beyond the wall into almost certain death. For the sake of humanity, for regaining lost ground and discovering the truth of this lost world, you've chosen to push onward past your fear either for the greater good or your own personal motivation. Warriors, mages and supportive roles are all nurtured within Avalon, combat diversity is just one more tool against dragons.

You aren't the first to be called Adventurers. Adventurers are a section of the Avalonian military. They suffer devastating losses time and time again. You'll work alongside other squad mates, experienced officers and pilot the unique WYVERN gear which was created for the sole purpose of allowing humanity to fight dragons.

It will grant you sudden bursts of lateral movement, temporary flight, help you to manoeuvre to save your allies and provide limited shielding against humanity's greatest threat, a dragon's lethal breath.

Wyverns once rivalled dragons, now it's time for humanity to do the same.

Hey guys, we're from the UK and we're looking for a group of 4-5 active players who like to chat, more of a friends vibe than just here for DND! for a really quick about us, we like all the usual stuff like gaming, youtube, internet culture and we're pretty laid back!

quick disclaimer - different time zones are more than welcome but we're mostly available after 5PM BST on weekdays and more free on weekends, we'll also be taking a 2 week trip to japan from november 2nd, but the idea was so hype we wanted to start right away!

the campaign is pretty heavily inspired by early seasons of Attack on Titan and Final Fantasy 14 Heavensward! The WYVERN gear will have a few homebrew uses and you can expect some MMO styled item drops / gearing.

while there will be a command structure with respect expected, im not about to make this into a chore simulator, those characters will also be respectful to you and your ideas as an individual!

if you're hyped then fill out the app below! it might be a bit long but its literally all we have to get a first impression of people haha sorry for the homework!

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.

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.

Hello, travelers of r/lfg! I’m Nate, and I come to you as a representative (and player) of Written In Probability. We're a small live streamed actual play show and do not expect to be any sort of big TTRPG livestream household name akin to Dimension20 or Critical Role, given that our audience is ostensibly our friends and family, and we're totally happy with that. We’re a long-time group of friends in the midst of an ongoing PF2e campaign that, unfortunately due to real life and scheduling conflicts, has recently had a couple players step away from active roles in the campaign. In the interest of having the game not go on hiatus, and in the spirit of this very subreddit that we all originally found each other on just over 5 years ago in 2021, we’ve decided to open up applications for filling that role.

Obviously we know this can feel like an odd position to step into, feeling like the new kid or the odd one out when stepping into an established friend group, but rest assured, we’ve had plenty of people join our little cadre of friends on our Discord server over the years and I can assure you, if you pass the vibe check and are excited to play, you’ll be totally fine and we’ll be happy to have you.

Things to know about the game:

TSTTS is a mythic pathfinder homebrew in a very established homebrew world that has already completed a whole era of campaigns across 3 separate groups of players. We of course will not expect you to know even 15% of the lore from the getgo, but it is there if you’re a lorehound, which we do love and embody. It is a fascinating world, in my opinion, and is genuinely a great example of a setting you can just get lost in. We are currently level 8 and at the precipice/early stages of a new arc with 2 already under our belt. The gist of the campaign is:

• We started out hunting weird rural cryptids and investigating planar oddities with this setting’s version of the Shadowfell and Feywild.
• We moved on, following the Shadowfell oddities as they related to a strange plot of bodysnatchers and their plans for infiltrating the nobility of a prominent city to usurp power.
• Our interest now lies in a far-off land chasing after a nearly averted cataclysm of the Shadowfell partially crashing into the material plane in part, assaulting the enemy on their nearly claimed front lines, and hopefully being Big Damn Heroes™️.

Things to know about the group:

• Ben: Our intrepid DM and life-long fantasy nerd. He’s a big cuddly bear and is deeply committed to the storytelling and world building of this campaign. He was previously playing a DMPC (agreed upon by all involved) who was the Oracle twin of one of the characters that is stepping away. The twins will be making their exodus together.
• Sarah: Resident Drow Investigator who is finding her footing on this side of the planet (it’s a whole thing, trust me, you'll love it), and is the brains of the party as the Holmesian leader of sorts for our ragtag band of heroes.
• Zach: A lovable Leshy Druid who is accompanied by his little brother (leshy familiar) as they search for a way to undo a terrible curse afflicting them and learning more about the natural world and everything in it.
• Myself: I play Cipher the Human Psychic, an odd little ball of positivity and emotion who is figuring out how to control their powers and find purpose in the world.

What we’re looking for:

• Must be cool about playing with LGBTQ and femme-presenting people.
• Preferably at least partially familiar with PF2e as a system (though we all learned it at the start of this campaign and it’s been an ongoing learning process).
• Someone willing to engage with the story and jump in with enthusiasm.

If this sounds cool to you and you have an interest in joining our little bundle of TTRPG friends and you're willing to be thrown in with a group of new faces in the trenches of an in-progress campaign, fill out this brief application form quiz and I'll reach out to you to set up an interview over Discord with myself and Ben, the DM. To prove you can read and actually took a few minutes read the post, in the Q&A section about your favorite breakfast, tell me how you like your coffee, tea, or adjacent drink of choice.

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE POST! Thank you 😄

This is probably the last time I'm reposting this before I go through the form :)

Greetings! I am looking to run a Pokémon Tabletop United game and I am in need of some more players.

The system we're using is an updated version of Pokémon Tabletop United.

We haven't decided exactly what the game will be about yet, nor the setting, so we're still talking about that kind of stuff!

My expectations of you: I expect you to show up on time on a weekly basis and be an active participant. Of course emergencies happen, but if you know that you typically have obligations or situations that arise that will prevent you from playing weekly, DO NOT APPLY!

NO POLITICS/REAL WORLD CURRENT DAY STUFF.
No politics of any kind. Don't bring your views about current day topics to my game. We're here to have fun. If you are a person who can't help but make everything political, DO NOT APPLY!

We will be using Foundry VTT for maps, characters and dicerolling and Discord for voice communication.

I will be running the game on Wednesdays during 'european evenings', at 7 PM UTC+2. For Americans, this would roughly be your noon depending on where you are :D

A bit about myself:

I go by Tenken, and I'm an avid video gamer, writer and generally nerdy guy and tend to get along with most people! I have a lot of free time outside regular working hours, so scheduling won't be an issue from my side.

I also use AI to create pictures and stuff, NOT for any story element.

Link to the form :)

Hello there!

My name is Jo. I'm 26 years old, I've a humble 8+ years of experience or so playing DnD (almost all online) and I'm quite an enthusiastic role-player, always trying to make memorable emotive characters who have clear dynamics with fellow party members. In terms of the game I can say I know the rules pretty well and I honour them!

Before I tell you more about myself I want to let you know what I'm looking for. I tend to mesh better with those who really get into into roleplay but not at the detriment of combat, I don't really thinking ratioing them works in truth plainly put. I am not a fan of AI and would like to avoid playing in games that feature it in its many forms. Overall I would like a much longer-term game so we as a group can really sink our teeth into the game and characters. So yes, thats some of what I'm looking! Back to more details about myself for you to get to know me!

I'm invested in interacting with the DM and getting them as involved in my character creation and idea/plot as possible. You can bet that I'll bring at least a shell for a character for the two of us to fill and work out and fit into your settings.

I do put a lot of effort into doing character voices and making interesting personalities for my characters. I've played a wide range of characters, ranging from the snobby noble caster to the hard on his luck humble monk to a performative wizard persona. I've played just about every class in the time I've enjoyed the hobby. I adore describing spells and re-flavouring abilities to better fit a character's image or themes.

I truly love Dungeon's and Dragons.

As a side note I've used both foundry and roll20 for many years now, so I'm quite proficient with them and I've used a few other VTTs over the years other than these two.

I'm happy to join an ongoing group if we plan to play as I see it as unique opportunity with both dynamics and possible character introduction.

About my scheduling:

My workplace actually isn't open on Sunday so I know for a fact that my attendance won't be jeopardised by work. The other listed days I typically have fully off! With timezones in mind, the actual timing of the game doesn't need to fit me in any overt way as I'm fairly flexible with Sunday as my day off. The other days are much the same. I might have possible openings for games outside of these days but that's something to discuss with the DM beforehand.

My preference for session length is 4 hours, if not a bit over that actually. So yes, while I am in America I could very easily and comfortably play with western Europeans.

I'm happy to join a brand-new group or ongoing. I hope to help keep a group going long enough for us to get the entire return of our joint efforts.

I look forward to hearing back from you, and I wish you a lovely rest of your day. I'm open to chat here on reddit or friend request to chat more on discord, if you want to know anything further or to meet over call.

The Tourney at Light's Ford

Time: Sunday's 4 PM EST

Players: 5

System: Sword Chronicle

The King is holding a tourney at Light Ford is about to start, and heroes are coming for the Glory.

The story begins at Light's Ford. Festivities come for the 60th Birthday of the king, the realm is filled with tensions as the winds of war and rebellion are coming as barons and marquis gaze at each other with hatred. The kingdom will tear itself apart sooner than later, but for now, we celebrate!

Who knows? Maybe the tourney and alliances will fix everything and the king will get to live a long life.

Regardless. Renowned knights, lords, ladies and even some outlaws have arrive at the Kingdom's capital, the Light Ford, to gain glory; mingle with the greats and make a name for themselves.

–

Sword Chronicle is a medieval fantasy game made to represent a grittier lower fantasy in a fantasized old age. Think a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Vikings, Brave heart, etc. In a feudal society, where the players will either be nobles, outlaws or just people trying to survive in an ever changing world.

This will be a short campaign of around 5 sessions so player can get familiarized with the system. And if everything goes right. We might even extend it or run another in the same setting.

The players will get to play as participants or spectator in one of the most prestigious Tourneys in the history of the Kingdom, and seek glory or get themselves dragged into the politics that underly the "peace" that is being experienced by the rulers and gain a better standing for their house or even acquire titles if they do not have them already.

Do you want to be stepped on?

Do you want to die to traps?

Do you want to suffer your way to success?

Do you want to kill Strahd?

Are you kind and inclusive?

Then this is the table for you!

We are only looking for 2 more players to brave the mists of Barovia.

No classes races backgrounds or feats past Swordcoast Adventurers Guide this campaign will be old school.

Theatre of mind with battlemaps and a few homebrew rules to make spellcasting less OP

This Game runs at 4pm CST every Sunday. If this all sounds fun you should DM me for more info!

As per title, I'm looking for one last player for my campaign, it will be done over voice call on discord, and the game will be very homebrew heavy focusing on a module I made bringing the Japanese television franchise Kamen Rider into DND, the requirements are, microphone, discord, and being awake around 3-7pm gmt-7, please only contact if around 17-20 years old, that's the age group of my party, I don't feel comfortable running games with big player age gaps

Message me here on Reddit for more details

I'm looking for a DM to run a short D&D 5E 2024 campaign for our group.

The Game

We're four players, all currently 5th level, hoping to play a focused short campaign of roughly 8–12 sessions. We are mostly GMT so -11am PDT has been our time so far — we are all new to the game and playing and learning at the same time, but we did start at 1st level.

System and type

- System: D&D 5E 2024
- Game type: Short Campaign

Platform

We use The 4th Wall Virtual Tabletop, at the4thwall.app. You actually play a 3d model
Of your character and the DM gets to play a model of all of the NPCs and monsters, pretty cool!

What we can tell you about the group

- Four players, all at 5th level.
- We want a campaign that fits into about 8–12 sessions.
- we have been playing in a cool setting where the players and GM have been creating the world we play in.

What we're looking for in a DM

- Your approach to safety tools and table boundaries (if you use any, say which; if not, say how you handle sensitive topics)

If you're interested, send a DM or find me on Discord at firstmate2302.

hi there!! im a bit of a ttrpg beginner- ive played a few sessions of different games here and there, but never really got iiiiiinto it.

im 18 f/nb in est!! im free pretty much every day except sundays and thursdays, id prefer to have a consistent schedule so i can avoid getting scheduled for work on those days!!

im interested in all kindsa stuff and im willing to try anything once!! add me on discord pretty please @ponyoist

I am reopening this advert again to seek a new player for my Etharis campaign. I’ve been so lucky to run thus far for an incredible party. Having just reached the thirty sixth session milestone This campaign is operating off a rewrite of the existing Grimhollow module. Due to scheduling issues with previous replacements we are eager to find our fourth player, having not yet found a player from my previous recruitment.

Etharis is a campaign about duty after faith has failed, heroism without salvation, and choosing who must survive when the gods are already dead.

The rise of the Burach Empire was heralded by a theocracy as magnificent in power as it was ruthless in its capacity to colonise rival pantheons. Ruled by a dynastic line said to descend from the Burach gods themselves, the Empire stretched to the edges of Etharis, rivalled only by the sunless, godless realm of Ostoya. Its southern borders pressed against the elven kingdom of the Chernault; its northern marches strained against the rabid Valikan clans.

Then, without warning, the gods fell.

Seraphic hosts were torn from the sky and died in the mortal muds. The cause of this catastrophe is a closely guarded secret, known only to the highest ranks of the Burach clergy. What is known is this: the Empire did not break cleanly. It staggered, fractured, and spiralled into cascading crises that still threaten to tear it apart years later.

And worse still looms.

Along the Ostoyan–Burach border, an unceasing army of the dead rises — unkillable, relentless, consuming everything it touches. Arcanists gorge themselves on the essence of fallen seraphs, fuelling grotesque ambitions with divine blood. And beyond even this horror, something vast and unfathomable stirs, a threat that no divided people can hope to face.

This is a world devouring itself from within as surely as it is besieged from without. Each land is a new crisis. Each victory carries its own cost. Zealous churchmen fight back-to-back with criminals and outcasts to claw back inches of ground. Faith is fractured. Power is suspect. Survival is never clean.

If you want a campaign where:

• politics, theology, and warfare collide

• choices have consequences that linger

• grimness exists to make rare victories meaningful

• and “good” means protecting others in impossible circumstances

then this may be the game for you.

⸻

Player Expectations

I am looking for a motivated, attentive, and engaged player who enjoy investigation, scheming, roleplay, and difficult moral decisions. Characters will be expected to take risks, act decisively, and accept that survival is never guaranteed.

There are no set class requirements for a new player barring the restriction of arcane classes that has applied across the entire span of the campaign. Etharis is a campaign where character comes before mechanical optimisation.

Characters in Etharis are built from the world outward, rather than imported into it. Your character should emerge from a nation, faith, institution, household or other social structure that has formed their beliefs, obligations and place in society. Institutions are not simply factions to join, employers to rebel against, or obstacles to individual freedom: they are a major part of how people understand themselves and acquire authority in this setting. I am much more interested in what your character believes, whom they owe, and why than in a predetermined class, build or fantasy archetype

Please do not arrive with a predetermined build or character archetype. Character creation will begin with the setting: where your character comes from, which institutions formed them, what they believe, what they owe, and what claims others legitimately have upon them. Class and mechanics follow from that character

For the right player, Etharis promises a vast wealth of intrigue, adventure, moral conflict and tense choices.

• Players must be 21+

• Good-aligned characters only (not flawless, but fundamentally protective rather than exploitative)

• LGBT+ players are supported and welcome

• This is a roleplay-forward, consequence-driven campaign

⸻

Content & Safety

This campaign will respectfully explore dark themes including:

• fantasy ethnic conflict and bigotry

• religious and political extremism

• profane rituals and human sacrifice

• the horrors of war and occupation

• corruption of authority and systems of power

There will be no sexual content of any kind at the table. No tolerance for out-of-game abuse, extremism, or bullying. Player wellbeing comes first: concerns can be raised at any time, and sessions will end with a brief check-in.

⸻

Class Restriction

Due to the metaphysics of the setting and past experience, arcane classes are not playable in this campaign. This is a deliberate design choice made to preserve coherence, tone, and meaningful tension within Etharis.

Practical Details

• System: D&D 5e (Grimhollow setting)

Adult Player Wanted for Light‑Hearted, One‑Shot–Focused TTRPG Group

We’re looking to add adult players to our long‑running, relaxed gaming group! Experience is absolutely not required—just bring curiosity, a willingness to join in, and a sense of humor.

What We Play

We play a wide range of systems and genres—classic fantasy quests, chaotic goblin nonsense, supernatural westerns, sci‑fi mysteries, and plenty more.

Our group leans toward short adventures and one‑shots rather than long campaigns. It keeps things fresh, lets everyone try new characters and playstyles, and avoids long‑term commitment burnout.

We do play D&D 5.5e the most, but we love trying new systems.

Our Vibe

We keep things light, fun, and low‑pressure. No rules‑lawyering, no perfectionism—just a bunch of adults hanging out and having a good time.

• Mechanics stay simple and easy to grasp (rules are a guide)
• Bold risks and silly ideas are encouraged (let’s see how we can make that happen)
• Romance fades to black
• Gore stays reasonable (…though someone did carry around a decapitated head once)
• We respect everyone’s triggers (one player is terrified of spiders)

Inclusivity Matters

We are proudly LGBTQIA+ friendly and want players who feel the same. We do not tolerate homophobia, transphobia, racism, or sexism. We also avoid political debates—this is a space to relax, not stress.

When & Where

Every other Saturday 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. EST We play on Zoom and use dndbeyond.com when playing D&D.

Want to Join Us?

Check out our website to learn more: DORCS.US If the vibe feels right, reach out—we’d love to chat with you on Zoom and see if we’re a good fit.

"Tonight on Nightfire!

The shadows strike back! The corpos have a stranglehold on the world, but not without resistance! Those brave souls lookin' to claw back a bit of what the big cats have taken from us are called Shadowrunners and only on Nightfire! can you see life through the eyes of these badasses! Tune in for breakneck action, explosions and a little bit of revenge again the man!"

Hi! I'm Symphony. I'm a relatively new GM looking to try my hand at a game of Shadowrun 5e. I've a few years under my belt as a player and GM of a handful of different games and want to expand my repertoire. My games tend to be heavy on the role play and reward creative solutions over perfectly crafting a min/max monster who can solve whatever problem they come across. I'm looking for 4 to 5 players and folks new to the system are very much welcome! We will be using Discord for voice and Roll20 for character sheets and rollin' the dice!

I would love to see just who you are before I pick you for the game! I'm not looking for character concepts yet and will be wanting characters built from the ground up for the game. Please answer these following questions!

1. Name
2. Preferred pronouns
3. What is your timezone?
4. Experience with Shadowrun and other ttrpgs
5. What are your favorite themes to focus upon in a cyberpunk setting and why?
6. What is your favorite evil corporation and why?
7. What are your expectations from me as a GM and what are your expectations of the other players in the game?

Hi everyone! I'm looking to form a new group for a game with a homebrew setting!

The game is set in a rustic, cozy, fairly wholesome world based on Pennsylvania ecology where we play as woodland animals. Previous players have described it as Animal Crossing meets D&D, or like if the Redwall novels were ported into 5e. My most recent table also affectionately calls it Critter Corner!

So it's a modified version of 5e with custom playable species and classes. If you're an experienced player, you'll notice that the general progression of the game and some mechanics are altered to be more rules-light and beginner friendly. If that sounds like a red flag to you, please know that this is a refined campaign that I've run for tens of tables! It's designed to be beginner friendly because I've used it to teach lots and lots of people how to play.

On that note, new players are encouraged and welcome! If you're an experienced player, bring that friend you wanted to get into D&D! This is a queer and PoC welcome table. Men, you're welcome too as long as you're at least 15% girlypop. (Just kidding... Kinda.)

A bit about me, I'm a 25 year old woman with a decade experience forever DMing. Specifically, I live Bloomfield. I love to be silly with my games and I'm mainly here to have fun and build a good story with my players. I'm flexible and not a rule stickler. Likewise, the setting only has a few hard-and-fast rules and I'm willing to work with player ideas. I'd really love to form a table with a recurring weekly or bi-weekly meetup time, as I am writing this discouraged after my millionth table has gone into hiatus due to scheduling issues!

If this sounds like fun, DM me and we can talk scheduling, or I can answer whatever questions! I'd also be interested in hearing a bit about you and what you enjoy in D&D. If you've read this far, thanks for your time!

Looking for Travelers to join the crew of the Persephone and explore the world of Lidon and beyond! This D20 tabletop RPG is based on the upcoming video game, Exodus, heralded by many to be the spiritual successor to the Mass Effect series, with many of the same devs from ME1 & 2! If you can't wait to play Exodus on pc/console, come play it on tabletop!

Hello, depths of reddit, im hoping to start a group around the neon odssey kickstarter from legends of avantris, i dont actually have a campaign figured out cause im kinda just doing this because i felt like itd be nice, standards should be pretty low as i am brand spanking new to being a GM however the very small amount i have done for people at my school has been recieved positively at least.

for you as a player i ask that you be a reasonable human being, respectful of LGBTQ+ folks like myself and show up to sessions with a made character, theres really not a whole lot i want here except people to yap about my new dnd thing and to get some GMing experience. if youre interested please dm me and ill send you my discord user

(maturity of content and other things of such nature will of course be discussed to see what everyone is comfortable with)

There’s something you want. A goal you claw towards with dogged dedication, a distant dream that you can never fully grasp, a wish you’d like to see granted above all else. For this reason, when a mysterious woman approached you with the offer of a contract that could make those impossible dreams and desires you cling to come true you signed it. A final or first chance to achieve that dream, fulfill that desire, to satisfy that need. So long as you work for the company in turn.

Hi there! I go by Honor, and I've come to love Project Moon as a setting. So I'd like to run a game in that setting. There is no knowledge requirement, no barrier to entry for this campaign that you wouldn't expect in other TTRPGs. If you love literature, urban fantasy, bleak hyper-capitalist settings, a power system based on the emotional regulation of its users, or any combination of the above you'll probably be into this game and setting.

We'll be using the Stars of the City system with some added homebrew to patch up any weaknesses certain statuses might have, add some new ones to spice things up, and give me some extra toys to play with.

Perhaps it is a bit basic to retread the steps of Limbus Company, but it is my first game in this system and its plot structure supports the type of game I would like to run. You will be taking the role of the Sinners, this time with a mysterious and enigmatic manager guiding your actions moving from story to story dictated by the backstories of each of the PCs. As such this game will be very involved when it comes to backstory which will be concepted and then further ironed out in session zero and the weeks leading up to the first story arc. Beginning with a short prologue to get everyone acquainted with the system and for people to cement the way they roleplay their characters.

Player characters must have a literary reference at the core of their character, dictating the themes of their story. Obviously a LOT of liberties can be taken, given we're talking about Limbus Company.

Starting level: 1

Player count: 5-6 total, with 3 already filled.

Requiremnts:

18+

Decent mic

Browser than can run Foundry (you do not need an account)

LGBT+ friendly

If you'd like to apply please fill out the form below:

Rather than being a set game, this is intended for a smattering of games where various GMs each take a turn to run a game of their choice. We play through it, and when they finish after a few sessions we rotate to the next person. It's intended that rather than this being any longform content, everyone will run something short form selected in a random order until everyone has had a chance then we refresh and do it again. A great place to try out various TTRPGs you'd normally not be able to, either to run them as a GM or see what's up as a player.

This listing is only for GMs and those with experience running. As some of the other members are people I know are reliable and good to run, we'll prioritise anyone newly recruited for running after a 3 part game where we'll run through a full set of missions in Lancer. So i'll go first, then the 2-3 newly recruited will be randomly chosen, and then the two other people i've already recruited and know. After it's confirmed everyone's a good match and you'll stick around to GM your fair share, the order will be randomly chosen unless someone steps up to run.

I'm looking for people who are comfortable with a wide range of settings and genres, and are comfortable with darker content and a grim sense of humor. You'll also need to be willing to read some rulebooks, depending on what people run we might have a lot of games to learn!

Slots Available: 2-3

Session Duration: 3-4 hours

Schedule: Every Monday at 9pm EDT

Requirements: Discord and a decent mic are all required. You'll also need to have your own setup for where you run whatever system you opt to run. I'll be using Foundry VTT and we're likely to see usage of Roll20 and other Virtual Tabletops.

Hi all I am looking for 4/5 players for a special one off play-by-post game being run via Discord. I am a professional games designer and GM with a tonne of experience in PBP games. This game will be roleplay focused and will use a very simple in-house system and will take place across roughly a month.

I am hoping to use this game to work through some of the storybeats of the setting, but mostly I am hoping to run a fun sandbox game focused on roleplaying and collaborative storytelling.

THE SETTING

1. Located in the green and pleasant countryside of England, the small village of Piddlington features three pubs, a cricket club, a handful of local shops and a dark ominous energy that seems to permeate every part of this quaint and quiet town.

(I want to keep the hidden elements of the game as hidden as possible, but for sake of tone think more camp and less actual horror. i.e, Buffy not Lovecraft)

THE PLAYERS

You are recently elected members of the parish council, a small organisation that oversees a number of local issues in Piddlington. You were elected to ensure the bins are collected on time, to manage the village hall's calendar and make sure that Piddlington is shortlisted for the upcoming Village In Bloom awards.

INSPIRATIONS

The Vicar of Dibbly, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Emmerdale, Parks and Rec, Hot Fuzz, Midsomar Murders and basically anything set in a small village in England.

THE MECHANICS

The game is made to be very sandboxy and focused on light roleplay. The game will take place on Discord, with various channels acting as different parts of the village.

Each turn players will be presented with a parish council agenda This will contain 1 to 3 issues that players must discuss and vote on. Each player gets 1 vote. Ties will be broken by the chair of the council.

Each turn will be roughly 1 day realtime, we can adjust this as we go.

After the votes are submitted players may receive a news report which describes the outcome of the vote. Players can discuss issues privately or in shared channels. They can make deals with each other, but they have no mechanics to influence votes other than the agreements they make.

The village also has 3 stats:

- Beauty (how pretty Piddlington is and how likely it is to win the Village In Bloom award)

- House Prices (a number that appeals to the older and wealthier residents of the town)

- Tourism (how popular the town is to outsiders, who bring money but may annoy some residents)

THE GM

I am a professional game maker with a couple of my own published designs and a bunch of freelance development experience. I am a very experienced GM and love running play by text games!

THE COMMITMENT

I expect the game to last around a month, but it could go longer if people are really enjoying it. We will discuss the eventual end game when we begin to get closer and I am up for suggestions on changing how we play as we go.

I would like players to be able to commit to making one vote a day and keeping up with news as it occurs. This will usually only take a minute or so and is as easy as responding to a message on discord. If you are away or cannot get involved then I also want you to let us know. The game will derail if players ghost so I am looking for who are reliable, communicative and are open to collaborative storytelling and all that fun stuff

OTHER DETAILS

I am based in GMT (UK) and would prefer players in similar time zones, but am happy to consider others too.

TO JOIN

If you've read all this and still want to get involved then great! Please send me a DM with your name, pronouns, where you are and your favourite thing about Piddlington (make this up, of course!)

Thanks all in advance!
