I’m looking for 3-4 players for a long-term campaign set in a homebrew world inspired by old Sword & Sorcery books (Moorcock, Howard), Lovecraftian horror and the history of the Islamic world and the Eurasian steppe. We will be using an indie OSR system called the Black Sword Hack (SRD). The campaign will run every other week on a fixed week night (Monday, Tuesday or Thursday evening from 19h30-23h GMT+1, to be determined when we form the group). 

You can find a short little introduction blurb here.

What kind of players am I looking for? 

I’m looking for 3-4 players who are 21+ and who are above all interested in storytelling and roleplay. I’m hoping to run a serious, more realistic campaign with real consequences and dangers. There will be mature themes and elements of horror. While we will use the consent questionnaire to ensure everyone has a good time at the table, this campaign is probably not a good fit for people who prefer not to engage with darker themes. 

I’m looking for players who want to engage with the world and become a part of its moral, cultural and relational universe. Players who understand that failure is often a better story than success, and who are not afraid to roll the dice and take a risk when it would improve the story. If you like Greek tragedies and weird mythology, then this might be the right campaign for you. 

As the introductory blurb suggests your character will start in a state of near total amnesia. The overarching story of the campaign lets you uncover your past and decide what to do with that knowledge. This means you will not be creating your own backstory for your character - this is not the right campaign for you if you are unwilling to wholeheartedly buy into the premise. 

Finally, some practical information:

• This campaign will run every other week. On the off-week, we can potentially play a different game if someone else feels called to DM it. 
• We will play on a fixed week night from 19h30 till 23h GMT+1. Possible days are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, to be determined when we form the group.
• I aim to create a welcoming group that is open to everyone (LGBTQ+ friendly)
• We will use discord for voice and roll20 for maps & rolling. 

Applications can be sent here.

Do you like puzzles? Like, did you play Chants of Sennaar and enjoy it?
Do you enjoy Worldbuilding and silly voices? Are you maybe even a forever GM?
Do you have a few hours to kill on a low expectation one-shot this Saturday evening the 17th?

Then you might be perfect for this playtest of my prototype game system inspired by very chaotic and very rules light Donjon RPG.

About the Game:
Within the rules of the game, everybody has limited GM powers to shape the world and story, players can fully overrule me as a core mechanic. That makes telling a good story instead of trying to 'win' or powergame a important skill. A skill often found in people with prior GM experience

The game is based on a vocabulary of magic words of power, in this oneshot you will be tasked with finding words of power, combine them into spells, deal with the fallout of whatever random spell you just incanted, keep notes, test your theories of what a word of power might actually mean, create a new spell to test that theory and learn that you were hilariously wrong.

There are no classes, no feats, and skills are freeform (think daggerheart if you are familiar), creating a char from concept to play-ready literally takes less than five minutes.

This is a beta test of not only my rule system, but also a purpose built website I created to play it on. There will be bugs. There will be missing rules for things I haven't thought of. Cope.

if you're interested, leave a post and tell a little bit about yourself, why you would be a great fun for this experiment, if you bring any specific nerdy knowledge to the table that might shape the world, and why in the world you would agree to do a thing as silly as joining in this inevitable trainwreck =)

Hello there friends.

I am running a campaign set upon the Dragon Isles between the events of Dragonflight and The War Within expansions of World of Wacraft with the main focus of the campaign being the titular academy and life of the first group of students that attend it post its reactivation. A magical school that aims to educate a new generation of future adventurers and protectors of the world while also not so secretly working on networking them through shared burdens and success.

Due to nature of this campaign it is aimed at young characters that did not experience much fighting and personal struggle. This is not a campaign for characters that carry excessive bagage of personal trauma and due to Academy's curriculum, characters that wish to delve into darker forms of power are a poor fit.

The Party:
Kelmarin - A Sin'dorei from a noble house finally getting to live beyond the control of his family and getting to practice skills he wanted to put to a test but rarely had a chance to do so. Also learning that snow of Azure Span is deep and does in fact suck to walk across... Things that being born in realm of eternal summer does to you.

Nimera - A Kaldorei full of whimsy in her head and lacking concrete idea what to do with her life. Now she finds herself in a land of fairytales and stories she spent her childhood listening and writes her own.. While also experiencing very healthy levels of adoration towards a certain dragon.

Varesia - A local, a harpy. Stepping out of her small world and learning just how bigger the world out there truly is. Battling her own insecurities and dealing with powers beyond her control. And learning through example the veneration is not the only way of treating with the elementals. She will be a joy to behold when Algeth'ar's open air theather opens up...

The current group has managed to survive the first semester but due to out of game situation only three of them remain and I am looking to bolster them with fresh blood.

If that kind of a campaign might interest you, reach out to me!
