Player(s) Needed by GM Dm looking for players for a pirate themed campaign [Online] [5e 2014] [5e 2024] [8pm ET] [Friday] [18+] NSFW

12 Upvotes

YARRRR! Sorry, I had to hit you with the hard YARRR out the gates but, Hello! My name is Reyes, and I’m looking for players for a weekly pirate-themed D&D campaign.

Edit: I’ve posted this ad a few weeks ago but unfortunately one of the players randomly disappeared so I’m looking for either 1-2 players to fill there slot.

I’m looking for an artificer or a frontline class as the party is pretty well rounded with a rogue, wizard, and a bard/sorcerer multi-class. 

All info listed below is still the same as before and still apply.

[Game Information summary]

  • D&D 5e: [2014/2024]
  • Starting Level: 3
  • Platform: Discord + D&D Beyond [VTT]
  • Voice: Required
  • Cameras: Not required
  • Stats: Point Buy
  • HP: Fixed
  • Multiclassing: Maximum of 2 classes
  • Session Length: ~4 hours
  • Weekly Fridays, 8 PM–12 AM EST
  • 18 plus only

This campaign draws inspiration from several games, books, shows, and other media, including:

  • One Piece
  • Pirates of the Caribbean
  • Dark Life
  • leviathan
  • And more

However, this is not “One Piece: The TTRPG” or “Pirates of the Caribbean: The TTRPG.”

This is an original homebrew setting with its own Lore, Factions, History, homebrew Races, and Characters. There will be some characters/Npcs that are based off characters you would know so please keep that in mind. 

The campaign takes place in a world made almost entirely of ocean. An enormous mountain range known as Mariana’s Peaks divides the world into two regions, The Old World and The New World, which is far more dangerous and mysterious

The setting includes:

  • Giants
  • Pirates
  • A revolutionary army
  • A massive navy
  • Dozens of islands
  • Independent kingdoms and territories
  • Tiny settlements and sprawling nations

There is no single world government Instead, the Navy is controlled by the combined power of three major kingdoms, alongside smaller independent kingdoms and territories scattered throughout the seas.

The party’s decisions will have meaningful consequences. Throughout the campaign, you may choose to align yourselves with different factions. These choices can affect:

  • Your routes
  • Your allies
  • Your enemies
  • The events you encounter
  • The campaign’s possible outcomes

Yes, there are guns, Lots of guns.

Early firearms include:

  • Magical firearms
  • Flintlock pistols
  • Muskets
  • Cannons

This campaign is very item/crafting heavy with players able to brew their own alcohol and make meals with buffing effects along with a lot of misc items from several books like griffons saddle bag. 

Technology will also becomes stranger and more advanced once the party reaches the other side of the world.

Travel is a major part of the campaign. You won’t only be sailing across the ocean.

The campaign will include:

  • Sea voyages
  • Underwater voyages
  • Sky voyages
  • Ships
  • Submersible vehicles
  • Flying vessels

Your ship and eventually your other vehicles will serve as the party’s home while traveling from island to island.

The campaign currently includes:

  • 3 new aquatic-themed playable race
  • 3 new homebrew feats
  • 1 hidden lore relevant feat

Links to this content will be provided below for anyone interested in reading it.

Homebrew races

(Cephalari: octopus people)

https://www.dndbeyond.com/species/2216832-cephalari

(Selachii: shark people)

https://www.dndbeyond.com/species/2217237-selachii

(Nautilari: nautilus people)

https://www.dndbeyond.com/species/2216859-nautilari

Homebrew feats

(Powder monkey)

https://www.dndbeyond.com/feats/2433889-powder-monkey

(Born to the sea)

https://www.dndbeyond.com/feats/2433895-born-to-the-sea

(Dirty fighting)

https://www.dndbeyond.com/feats/2433900-dirty-fighting

You are not required to use the homebrew races or feats but it is encouraged that you try them out if you’d like.

We will be using third-party/partnered content classes available on dnd beyond such as:

  • Gunslinger
  • Pugilist

(Don’t worry content sharing will be turned on so you can play these classes if you don’t own them)

There will be a limit to multiclassing as you can only have 2 chosen classes.

We will also be using point buy for stats along with using fixed HP.

This campaign will be a mix of combat and roleplay with roleplay especially being required and will be more focused on. 

We will be using DnD beyond for character sheets and VTT while we use discord for keeping notes and voice call (voice is required)

Content Warnings

18+ ONLY

There are no exceptions to this rule. I’m operating on an honor system, but anyone discovered to be under 18 will be removed from the campaign. 

This campaign is not intended to be nonstop edgy content. However, the setting includes darker themes that I am not comfortable exploring with minors.

Themes that may appear include:

  • Slavery
  • Racism and discrimination
  • Violence against oppressed groups
  • Some sexism
  • Murder
  • War
  • Political corruption

These subjects will be treated seriously as parts of the setting rather than used solely for shock value.

The following content is not allowed at my table:

  • Violence against children
  • Homophobia directed at players or used casually for humor
  • Real-world religious or political preaching
  • Excessive gore
  • In game religious fanaticism

Sexual content may exist in the world, but all sex scenes will fade to black immediately. I am not comfortable roleplaying explicit sexual scenes with strangers, so this is a firm boundary.

One last thing I wanna mention is that me as your DM is a pothead and I usually take edibles during my sessions usually around 10-20mg to help loosen up and role-play more smoothly but I take em in moderation and I know my limit before I can’t dm so I’ll be fully cognitively there but not too far gone to where I’m unable to DM. If this doesn’t bother you then you’re free to continue.

If you’ve read everything above and the campaign still sounds like something you’d enjoy, please fill out the application form linked below!

• Upvotes

“Alright, lean in, and allow me to set the table for ya. Every person who came to me through that door is lookin’ for somethin’, and those ambitions will either be your greatest achievement or the biggest mistake of your life.

After the meteor fell, Drakkenheim went up in smoke, and Westemär’s been left with no capital and a corpse on the throne with no heir around. Now it’s a rotten playground for the worst kind of people, where greedy nobles and centuries-old edicts dictate the law.

Everybody’s come flockin’ like moths to a flame to this city. The nobles froth at the mouth for the crown. The Amethyst Academy mages wanna study Delerium like it’s the next big breakthrough while the The Church of the Sacred Flame wanna destroy it. Dustheads snort Delerium and decorate the side walk, drugging themselves to a new dimension of reality. And the ones whose minds the city cracked swear they’ve seen the corpses of Old Gods swayin’ in the sky, havin' hung themselves and abandoned this world entirely and left us to die.

Every shadow is inhabited by something that sound like the people you hold dear. Something in the dark alley once kept asking me for a cigarette. A piece of advice kid, never follow the voices. Keep pretending they aren’t there and maybe you’ll make it through another day in this hellhole.

Ah, Drakkenheim, the city that has everyone obsessed, beckoning them and promising all kinds of rewards only to swallow every brave soul and spit them out as psychotic madmen. What a wonderful world we live in, am i right?

So, whadya say, ya in or ya out?"

Hello! My name’s Connie (she/her, 31F), and I’ll be your DM for this dark adventure. :)

We’re a group of chill and laid-back folks in our 30s looking to add a fifth adventurer to the party. One of our friends and players had to step away to focus on their mental health, and we’re hoping to have him back once he’s feeling better. In the meantime, we’d love to welcome a 5th player to the table. We value roleplay and great story-telling from everyone at the table. We balance between the dark themes and lighthearted sessions since not everything is doom and gloom all the time. We like to have a laugh every now and then! As a Dm i focus a lot on character and their backstories and try to weave them into the main plot. Player decisions WILL have outcomes good or bad, dependent on you. Want to sabotage a faction's plan? Go ahead but they will be pissed off and come for you. Want to try your hand at romance? Every NPC or PC are different so goodluck!

⬩➤ About the Campaign:

⟡ Time: Wednesday or Friday, 8:00pm UTC+3 / 4-5 hour session
⟡ VTT: Foundry VTT
⟡ Requirements: Discord for Voice calls / Stable internet / PC able to handle Foundry VTT
⟡ Themes: Balance between serious and lighthearted sessions / Faction Politics / Horror / Dark Fantasy / Urban Adventure / Post-Apocalyptic / Exploration
⟡ Playstyle: 60/40 ratio for Roleplay/Combat
⟡ Campaign will go up to level 13

DRAKKENHEIM IS NO MORE. An eldritch storm of falling stars devastated the city on that woeful eve, leaving behind a meteorite that would have lasting effects. Fifteen years later, Drakkenheim is a dismal urban wasteland contaminated by otherworldly magic and haunted by hideous monsters. Fantastic wealth, lost knowledge, and powerful artifacts lie ready for the taking by adventurers brave or foolish enough to venture into the ruins. However, even those who survive the dangers of Drakkenheim may not return unmarked by its terrors!

⬩➤ Party Composition:

⟡ 5th Level Party of 4 currently (Good to neutral aligned so no evil pcs or lone wolves):

- Agnus (Barbarian) played by Tim (He/Him)
- Scarlett (Druid) played by Tassia (She/Her)
- Melira (Sorcerer) played by Blythe (They/Them)
- Peony (Warlock) played by our friend who's currently on break for a while.

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

This campaign is NOT for the faint of heart. This campaign portrays a dark/corrupted world. It features Mature, dark and rather heavy themes (handled with care). If you feel like you cannot handle any of these, please prioritize yourself and your mental health first. There are many great campaigns out there that are much easier to stomach.

Below are things you can run into throughout the campaign:

- Mentions of suicide, gaslighting, severe power imbalance, drug use, addiction.
- Violence, murder, blood, gore, cannibalism, and body horror.
- Degenerative mutations that cause physical disfigurement and madness/insanity.
- Rats, spiders, insects, demons, undead, ghosts, and other monsters.
- Natural disasters, large-scale loss of life, civil war, displaced persons, and refugees.
- Moral ambiguity, social/political manipulation, religious zealotry and military nationalism.

The campaign DOES NOT contain the following:

- Explicit sexuality, sexual assault, racial prejudice, systemic racism, homophobia, or transphobia. Any inferences to such are wholly unintentional.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [5E 2014 or 2024] [Flexible] [Wed Thur Fri Sat Sun] [MDT] Looking to start a Curse of Strahd campaign (NEW DM)

6 Upvotes

I'm looking to start an online session of the campaign "Curse of Strahd". I have only ran one trial campaign and then the group fell apart due to scheduling issues but I did have one player crying at the end of that campaign. I have one friend who wants to join this campaign but I understand CoS is an expansive campaign that can take a long time. I'm laid back when it comes to rules and prioritize my players having a good experience over following the rules to a T. I'm also open to suggestions/advice on how to be a good DM and will take any criticism like a champ, I just want a real DM experience and I want to learn from any future mistakes. All players are welcome!

• Upvotes

Hi, I’m looking for a new campaign to join and wondering if anyone knows of any campaigns starting or any groups needing another person.

I’ve just finished a frankly rough first campaign with an intensely railroading dm who made it feel like a chore so wanting to meet a group wanting to have fun and explore a new world. I prefer 50/50 combat to rp, I love making deep backstories with the dm and other players and love to work together to have fun and dramatic moments alongside some laughs.

I’ve got good experience, about 4-5 years playing, and started running my own campaign last year, I’ve been in other shorter campaigns as well in that time.

I’m looking to possibly play either a bard or Druid but I’m also happy to fit around any current groups class dynamic

2 Upvotes

Greetings everyone. I have been informed that a player who just joined is now sadly going to drop out because of their work schedule having changed an being no longer able to make it leaving the chair at the table open. I am now looking for 1 player to fill this now vacant seat. The campaign has started recently with the party only having done a few sessions so far. If interested details can be found below.

This campaign will be Curse of Strahd where players will enter the land of Barovia after having been hired by a mercenary company to look into some werewolves that have been seen and terrorizing travelers along the roads near Daggerford then be transported into Barovia during the search. Players will then set out having the goal of freeing the land from the control of Strahd Von Zarovich and finding a way to return home to Faerun.

The party is currently 3 and has 4 players ATM with opportunities for any kind of PC and will be open to homebrew upon further review. Our time is at 1AM EST every early Monday morning with the VTT being used being that of Roll20.

If interested leave an application below with some info telling me about yourself. I will be conducting interviews over voice through Sunday and will leave this posting open until the chair at the table is filled. Cheers! :)

DM: Seeker

Players: Looking for 1-2 more players

Rulebook: D&D 5e (2024)

Platforms: Discord (Mic), Roll 20 (Optional)

Time: Sunday, 6:00 pm EST

Preferred Player Experience: Anyone who is willing and strives to roleplay!

Session Length: 2-4 hours.

Current level: 3

Restrictions: Min/Maxing discouraged. Otherwise, any 5e classes/races are allowed.

Preferred Age: 18+

 

About section:

Hello everyone! My name is Seeker. I’ve just started DMing for the first time, but I'm excited to run a campaign. For this campaign, I am hoping to learn and grow as a dm and allow my players to have fun and relax from the stress of life. This is a homebrewed world, but it follows the 5e universe. As a DM, I aim to make sure that all my players have characters they are invested in and will love to have fun with either in combat or roleplaying. This campaign will start at level 1 and can end at level 10 or go all the way up to level 20 depending on how the players play and if they wish to explore and add more to the universe. This world will have boss fights; I take inspiration from Dark Souls, Dragon Age, and Dragon Dogma.

Character info: 

This campaign has been ongoing but we had two players drop out. Players are currently doing a 2 year time skip to learn their subclass and build a town.

Adelaide: Artificer 

Havel: Bard

Rhiain: Fighter

Campaign info:

“We stand upon the precipice of change. The world fears the inevitable plummet into the abyss. Watch for that moment... and when it comes, do not hesitate to leap. It is only when you fall that you learn whether you can fly.”

 

Long before our time on Albion, lived beings of pure magic; to them, magic existed as a way of living and surviving. Magic was used to create buildings, run businesses, and even in agriculture; it was in the hands of everyone. The world of Albion was ruled by the gods, brothers of light and darkness, creation and destruction. Life was harmonious until one day a woman sought to defy the brothers and become a third god; the brothers granted her the curse of immortality and wiped-out existence as it was known. This woman was forced to live in exile alone for an eon before signs of life began again. Instead of just what would become known as humans, other races began to emerge, and with it someone needed to teach these beings the joys of magic. So, becoming the goddess of the world, she taught the people the way of magic, and for a while magic slowly began to retake the earth. The brothers, watching from their domain, reappeared back to their once golden and blacken thrones to show people the way of magic better than the false goddess.

It is now the year 17 Frostburn, and magic has retaken the world once again. However, the brothers crave violence and wish to test the new mortals of this realm. The brother of darkness begins corrupting people to take on the more sinister part of their nature, while the brother of light begins corrupting people to believe it is time for the age of magic to end and introduce a new era of blind devotion to the gods and kill the false goddess. As a final act of goodwill, the false goddess bestows her gift of immortality onto a group of unknowing people. Now with the false goddess in hiding and the brothers slowly corrupting the world who is going to stand up and fight against these brothers? Or will the world fall into a new age one where magic might no longer exist?

Please send me a dm on Reddit answering the following questions

What is your Discord Username, and what name would you like to be called?

What are your pronouns?

There will be some mature themes in this campaign, so just to make sure everyone is comfortable, please tell me what is off-limits for you.

This game will be open to and supportive of members apart of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. There will be no tolerance for homophobia, transphobia, discrimination, or racism. Can you agree to that?

Tell me a bit about yourself, and how long you have been playing D&D?

What is your preferred playstyle?

Player(s) Needed by GM World's Darkest Dungeon [Online][5e][18+][ERP][1on1][PbP][2014 ruleset] NSFW

• Upvotes

World's Darkest Dungeon is an 18+ dark adult-fantasy campaign. It combines the World’s Largest Dungeon with GIFFYGLYPHS DARKER DUNGEON ruleset, as well as the Lewd Handbook. This will be a sprawling dungeon exploration with mature themes, psychological tension, temptation, and the struggle against losing your mind.

FORMAT: Play by Post | Primarily Discord | 18+ | Small-group campaign
PLAY STYLE: Dungeon crawling, survival, exploration, ERP, character-driven RP
PLAYERS: 1

THE DUNGEON DOES NOT FORGIVE

This is not a power-fantasy adventure where every encounter is balanced to your level. The dungeon is a living ecosystem of competing creatures, factions, cultures, secrets, and ancient forces. Every encounter must be engaged carefully. Some enemies can be defeated, but others you may have to bargain with. Assuming you have something they want to begin with.

DESCEND AT YOUR OWN RISK

Adult themes are woven into the campaign's atmosphere and roleplaying. Expect explicit sexual encounters as well as darker erotic themes. There will also be many non-erotic situations in which you will engage in. Expect a 50/50 percentage on ERP and regular RP.

SET BEACONS OF HOPE

As you descend into the dungeon, you will need to establish base-camps in which you can return to and recoup your losses. These camps can grow as you find allies and resources, eventually becoming little settlements.

GIFFYGLYPHS DARKER DUNGEON RULES

We will be using the following rules from GIFFYGLYPHS DARKER DUNGEON.

  • Character Creation
    • Dial: Opt-in Randomizer Rewards
  • Feature Change:
    • Darkvision (pg. 38)
  • Active Inventory (pg 53)
  • Wear & Tear (pg. 61-63)
  • Ammunition Die (pg. 65)
  • Flasks (pg. 88)
  • Magical Burnout (pg. 102-104)
  • Wounds & Injuries (pg. 120-122)
  • Death & Resurrection (pg. 123-124)
    • Variant: No Resurrection (pg. 124)
  • Cheating Fate (pg. 125)
  • Deadly Disease (pg. 126-131)
  • Survival Conditions (pg. 132-134)
  • Stress & Affliction (pg. 135-139)
    • Indefinite Madness (pg. 140)
  • Short Rest (pg. 142-146)
    • Variant: Conditions (pg. 146)
    • Variant: Stress (pg. 146)
  • Long Rest (pg. 147-149)
    • Variant: Stress (pg. 149)

THE LEWD HANDBOOK

We will use the Lewd Handbook, but only some of it. We will pick and choose whatever works best for the game. We will most certainly be using the Races, Backgrounds, Sexual Backgrounds, and Sexual History sections.

CHARACTER CREATION

Because this dungeon is designed for 4 characters, we will use the following rules:

Starting Level: We will begin at level 5. You will begin with 600 gp and normal starting equipment

Ability Scores: We will use the following array for ability scores: 18, 17, 15, 14, 11, 9.

Extra Actions: To balance the Action Economy, you are allowed a second Action per turn.

Double Hit Points: When you roll for your hit points, double the roll and add your Constitution Modifier twice.

Sidekick: You can design your own sidekick to join you as you descend into the dungeon using the rules found in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.

LOOKING FOR...

I am hoping to find a players that will post fairly regularly (several times per day), are clear communicators, and are patient with me as I try to tailor the dungeon to their preferences. This game is very LGBTQ friendly. Send me a DM with the following information if you are interested:

  • Discord username
  • Time zone
  • Text-RP experience
  • 5e experience
  • ERP experience (if any)
  • What interests you about this campaign
  • Any major boundaries you'd want me to know about

DO NOT DM ME IF YOU ARE A MINOR.

ABOUT ME...

I am 33 years old, am pansexual and non-binary. I have run D&D for over a decade and most of my recent D&D experience has been through Play-by-Posts on Discord. I'm mostly vanilla in my preferences, but I am open to roleplaying most anything. I can explain more when we begin to discuss boundaries further in DMs.

CAMPAIGN HOOK

The howling of the raiding band pierced the night and descended upon your home, dragging innocents out of their beds and into the streets to spill their blood. Orcs, kobolds, troglodytes, and even an ogre tore through the streets at the behest of one individual: a wererat sorcerer with a devilish imp perched on his shoulder.

Of those who were not slain, some were imprisoned and a few escaped. Now all that is left is survival... or revenge.

Group Needed by Player [Online][UESTRPG/D&D 5e 2014][Free][18+][Queer][No AI][BST/GMT][Free any day except Saturdays] Looking for a game set in the Elder Scrolls world!

• Upvotes

Hi! If you’re reading this, please double check the title! I’m a player looking for a group, not a DM running this!

I just wanted to do a general poke around to see if anyone was planning to or interested in running a game set in the Elder Scrolls universe! I’m a massive fan of the world, I’ve played multiple of the games and I listen to the lore quite frequently, plus I have many OCs that I like to draw from it!

I’d really like to play a game set in the world! Either using the Elder Scrolls TTRPG I’ve seen, or modified D&D 5E is fine too since I’ve seen people use that! I have a preference for the former though cuz I love poking at new systems!

My name is Attie (They/Them), I’m 23, Scottish, I love drawing, hate AI, I try my best to make new friends in groups - my fave part about TTRPGs is definitely creating a character with a deep backstory to get invested in!!! Roleplay is my favourite!!! :D

So far I’ve also found 2 others interested! Ty for reading!

Game: D&D 5e
Group type: Face-to-face
Experience: Olde Tyme DM (1st, 3.0/3.5) but first time with 5e, played since 1979.

Location/Timezone: Bridesburg, Philadelphia. My Livingroom/Epic Wargame Room!
We are accessible by SEPTA subway/train!

Schedule: Flexible, but must be consistently free Saturdays & Sundays. Current plan is 12pm to 6pm, with a 40 min pizza break.

Roles sought: 4 players total due to limited living room space, need two more. We are LGBTQ+ friendly.

Game style: My DM style is more roleplaying than anything else. There's a story, always, but lots of room to 'forget to take that left turn at Alberquerque' going in an unexpected direction. I will admit my weakness is running combat, but we have the young guy for that.

The setting is Grey Hawk and is perposely going to be vauge until we start playing for lore reasons. All you need to know is your character is heading to the town of Sharlotville, for your various indevidual reasons.

The party is a bunch of "Grognards" aka a collective of slightly on the spectrum old souls who care about each other a lot. The party age range is 20 to 71 years old. Currently made up of level 1 characters, wizard and druid. Looking for two more easy going adventurers to hang with us!

Players and DMs preferred. I could run something for us if absolutely needed but I've never DMed for a big party long term before. Hmu!

Group Needed by Player [5e][2014 or 2024][GMT][Online] looking for a group to join

• Upvotes

Hello everyone. Im a fairly seasoned tabletop player with around 5 years of experience including DnD and Call of Cthulhu im looking to join a regular consistent campaign. I love both systems equally but this post is about finding a DnD game at a time that suits my schedule more. My availability is around Fridays in the morning up to about 12pm and then again in the evening around 5pm onwards. I also have availability Sundays from 5pm onwards. These are just the times that will almost always be a constant steady availability for me. But i do have more availability to work around. Im no stranger to being a night owl either so if your worried a session might start too late my time dont be.

Hopefully hear from you all soon.

Player(s) Needed by GM Looking for players in my Cosmic Horror/Comedy Campaign (online) (dnd 5e 2014) (18+)

Players needed by GM for Cosmic Horror/Comedy Campaign (Online) (Dnd 5e 2014) (18+)

Hello, hello! Welcome to Jawahir Alghad, your local chaotic dnd world...

Over here we have... Jaan as our main world! To introduce it "briefly"...

Jaan is a world dreamed into existence by Ilyx, who is basically the reason any of this exists in the first place. And somehow, despite being the most powerful being imaginable, he decided that what the world really needed was us.

There are a bunch of places to explore, including:

Candy Land- Everything is cute, colourful, and suspicious. If something looks harmless, it probably is not.

Azoruae- A kingdom in the sky, because apparently having normal geography was too boring.

Kachhua- An entire land built on the back of a giant turtle. The turtle is also called Kachhua. We did not overthink the naming process.

The Land of Mirrors- Creepy, beautiful, and deeply unpleasant if you start wondering whether your reflection is actually you.

The Land of the Unknown- Basically, the part of the world where reality gave up and said, "fuck it." If something should not exist, there is probably a place for it here.

Meridian- The neutral region where everyone is supposed to behave themselves.

They do not.

The Norse Region- Exactly as it sounds like.

There is also gods, kings, archfae, ancient creatures, weird little guys, political nonsense, questionable magic, and enough lore to keep us occupied for a very long time.

And obviously, there's you.

You can be a hero.
A villain.
A complete idiot with a sword.
A morally questionable wizard.
A bard who desperately needs to be stopped.
Or literally whatever weird character you can come up with.

We're here to tell a good story, have some laughs, make terrible decisions, and occasionally wonder why we let the party have access to certain spells.

D&D 5e | Homebrew World | Roleplay | Story | Exploration | Lore | Chaos I Mr. Oswald (Don't ask why he is here too)

Welcome to Jaan.

And remember:

If the DM asks "are you sure?"

You probably should not be.

Please dm me if you are interested!

***Recently, on the continent of Geastrom, an ancient threat has returned from beyond the stars, lying dormant beneath the shadowed depths of the sea. A group calling themselves the Dream Catchers are driven to stop this threat.***

Hello! I'm the GM of a group that has been playing together since March. Due to a few players leaving, we currently have 1–2 open spots available!

Regarding the group, we are RP-focused. We're looking for active, collaborative players who enjoy working together and contributing to the story.

If you're concerned about lack of knowledge, we're new-player-friendly! you're welcome to join regardless of experience level. We're also a laid-back group.

As far as party composition is concerned. We currently have five players, most of them playing full casters or half-casters. Because of this, we'd especially encourage anyone interested in playing a martial character to apply!

Our group currently is

Kiki Flintfinder: A Tabaxi evocation wizard

Balen Brave: A human valor Bard/ Archfey warlock

John Druid: a Reborn Moon Druid

Quil Quisenberry: A Eladrin Trickery domain Cleric

Marcel Aveleno: A Wood elf Battlesmith Artificer

What we're looking for is people that are LGBTQ+ friendly. We lean left as group and would prefer players who are comfortable with that environment.

As far as age range goes we'd prefer players between 21 and 35.

We currently have two female players and would love to have more! Female applicants will receive priority consideration.

Game Details

Session time: 6 PM Eastern

Session length: 3–4 hours

If this sounds like something you'd be into, feel free to contact me!

Player(s) Needed by GM [Offline][5E 2014][Abilene TX] Curse of Strahd Campaign looking for 1 or 2 players

3 Upvotes

We’re looking for 1–2 players to join our Curse of Strahd campaign! We previously had a group running a homebrew campaign for a while, but scheduling conflicts eventually caused a few people to drop out. We decided to start a new campaign and have had one session of Curse of Strahd so far, but unfortunately, we’ve already lost a player due to scheduling. Currently, we have a DM and two players, and we’re hoping to find someone who’s interested in joining us for the long haul. Consistency is the biggest thing we’re looking for, as we’d love to build a solid group and see the campaign through. We’re open to different days, but Wednesdays and/or Thursdays would be ideal. We’re flexible on playing weekly or biweekly, depending on everyone’s schedules and what works best with life outside the game. Whether you’ve played before or relatively new, feel free to reach out! We’re just looking for people who enjoy the game, are willing to commit to a consistent schedule, and want to have a good time together. If you’re interested, send me a message with a little about yourself and your experience with D&D. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Group Needed by Player [Online] [other] [18+]Wanting to start a Shadowdark game!

4 Upvotes

Hi all I'm new to Shadowdark but I've played rpgs for about 7 years now including 5e, Cyberpunk, CoC 7e, VtM, Mothership, Lancer, Mork Borg and more and I'm looking to start getting into Shadowdark because it looks promising. I have estimated Saturdays at 8:30 PM are the best play time for me and I'm willing to GM or be player.

I don't have an exact plan for a campaign, in case someone has another idea but my current idea i'm playing with is called "Shadow of the Vampire King" which will basically be Shadowdark with a Castlevania / Curse of Strahd tone with dungeons all over to get lost in the dark in and a vampire castle megadungeon. It's a very loose concept rn tho but if anyone is interested in that we can totally do that. I'm down for anything though, even if it's just a one shot. Hmu if you're also looking for a game and like forming groups on the fly ig.

Group Needed by Player [Online][5e 2014 or 2024][Other][Tues morning or Mon, Fri, Sat late night MST] looking for a game at a weird time

0 Upvotes

hi y'all! my name is jude, and like the title says, i'm looking to join a game but my schedule is weird, so the times are weird. i have availability on tuesdays from 10am to 4:30pm MST, and any time after 10pm MST on monday, friday, and saturday.

i prefer to use discord but i'm cool with any VTT! my exact time frame is more flexible on the early end but i will say 1pm is the latest start time i can do for a 4 hour campaign, i can be more flexible if it's 3 hours though. i'm most familiar with dnd, but i'm open for other games as well, pf2e and WoD being most appealing, but if you can convince me of something else, i'm game. as far as genres, i'm open to anything, as long as the plot is compelling, and i'm happy to tailor a character to the needs or desires of a party if necessary!

things i require: 18+, lgbtqia+ friendly, fits in my time schedule, over voice, long term campaign, potential romance allowed (i just like the possibility to be open)

things i am NOT looking for: pbp, one-shots, playtesting incomplete systems

i'm pretty open! if you have anything in this time slot, whether you want to recruit a dm with me as a player, or you're a dm looking to build a group, or even a pre established group looking to add someone else, feel free to hit me up! you can comment, dm me directly, or add me on discord and talk to me there!

discord: dilfdestroyer. (include the period)

Player(s) Needed by GM [GMT+1][Online][Players Wanted][Other] Samsaram, a Sword & Sorcery campaign

1 Upvotes

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.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][Starfinder 2e][Biweekly Fridays @ 3:30 PM][HST][4–5 Players] Guilt of the Grave World — New GM, All Players Welcome!

2 Upvotes

Time: Biweekly Fridays @ 3:30 PM

Platform: Foundry VTT & Discord

Requirements: Decent internet, a good microphone, and a browser other than Firefox. (its wonky with Foundry)

Number of Players: 4 minimum, 5 maximum.

System: Starfinder 2e

Summary: Venture into a galaxy of ancient secrets and undead horrors in Guilt of the Grave World, a Starfinder Second Edition campaign spanning levels 1–5!

While working for a dwarven mining collective on a mysterious asteroid, your group uncovers an ancient secret that puts you at odds with the Corpse Fleet, the dreaded undead space armada from Eox. Can you survive the trials awaiting you on the grave world and beyond, or will you become the first victims of the Corpse Fleet’s plans to turn the galaxy into a cosmic graveyard?

I’m a new GM when it comes to Starfinder 2e, though I’ve run D&D before. Expect a welcoming table with room for all of us to learn together. Everyone is welcome, whether you’re brand new to tabletop games, making the jump to Starfinder, or already familiar with the system!

This adventure combines exploration, horror, and wacky pop culture with space opera action. We’ll use Foundry VTT’s maps, tokens, sounds, and other features to bring its strange worlds and dangerous encounters to life.

If all goes well and the group wants to continue, we can transition into Secrets of the Swarm which goes from level 6 to level 10. Otherwise, we’ll wrap up at level 5, as intended, with a complete adventure behind us.

Interested? Fill out the application below! I’ll aim to select players by Friday if there are enough applicants, and I’ll update this post once all spots have been filled. Possibly even getting character creation done.

Application: [Apply here](https://forms.gle/RnQrgHXjYLByCagA7)

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][Other][UTC+2][Wednesday] Pokémon TTRPG! Looking to start a Pokémon game.

0 Upvotes

PLEASE READ THE WHOLE POST! Thank you 😄

I will be re-posting this a few times more to get more applications :) If you have already applied, you don't have to do it again :) I will go through every application later!

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.

GM Needed by Existing Group [PF2E][Online][MST] 2 Players Looking for a Long-term, RP-heavy weekly campaign!

2 Upvotes

My partner and myself are looking to get involved in a long-term weekly campaign in Pathfinder 2E (Online via Foundry)! Though we are primarily looking for a GM, we are happy to join a new or existing group with other players. We're looking for something Saturday or Sunday so we can regularly attend. (Weekdays might be possible depending on time, but with working full time, it's a tight window.)

Some tidbits about us:

  • We're enthusiastic players. We will ask questions in discord. We will write RP stories an interactions in-between sessions. We will make memes and jokes about our adventures, we will draw or commission art of our characters. I know that can be a bit much for people who just want a board game night, but if that sounds like a "hell yeah" to you, then we might be a good fit!
  • We are both in our 40s, so preferably looking for a older, 21+ table to gel best with.
  • We have a mix of experience (played various RPGs for over 15 years!), but have all had experience with PF2E, 5E, and Starfinder. We just really prefer PF2E this time around.
  • We most enjoy long-term character development and cooperative storytelling, as well as classic RPG adventure and monster-slaying. Our preferred split of roleplaying, exploration/puzzles, and tactical combat is about an even balance. It's all important, but everything should follow from the roleplay and narrative.
  • Mature/NSFW content and subject matter is okay! It shouldn't be the focus, but we're adults looking to play with adults, and open-minded as long as everyone at the table is comfortable.

What we're looking for:

  • A weekly game on Saturday or Sunday: Can start anytime, but are in a MST timezone.
  • Happy to play in established settings like Golarion or The Forgotten Realms, but more exotic ones are really cool! We're not afraid of homebrew settings, in fact, we enjoy it!
  • An LGBTQ+ friendly table with a low tolerance for bigotry, bullying, or harassment! We're all here to have fun together, right?
  • A team and GM more interested in working together towards a fun, immersive adventure rather than murder-hoboing or PVP.

What we can offer:

  • A positive and friendly attitude at the game table! (and puns, so many puns)
  • A good grasp of the rules and systems of PF2E.
  • Several different characters and concepts in mind, to help make a well-rounded party with any existing players.
  • Ability to very consistently make game times and keep up a play schedule!
  • Could easily recruit a full party from many TTRPG friends made over the years, or join a new one.

If that sounds good to any GMs out there, please send me a discord message with your idea (nymera)! No paid games please. 🙂

The Rotting Colossus

…The adventure is reaching its end…

Once, in the world of Virdeia, the world was full of magic and wonder. Good and evil battled it out in endless, glorious combat, magic surrounded the world in its entirety, and beautiful creatures of all kinds swarmed the whole world.

While none of those things are quite gone yet, something else has begun to displace them. A newer, darker world, dominated by iron and smoke. Once bountiful creatures are slowly being hunted to the end of their lineage, magic is increasingly tossed aside in favor of machinery, and the lines between good and evil are growing more and more hazy with each passing day. The world of Virdeia, once vast and overflowing with mystery, grows ever smaller with each passing day, which may grant an opportunity to dangerous forces waiting for a chance to climb out of the shadows.

Soon, even the Gods themselves may find themselves at risk, as forces gather in the shadows to unleash powers that even the Gods themselves shall tremble before.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You are all misfits and criminals from across the realms hired by the kingdom of Noctia as a sort of secret service, aiding the empire's interests across the continent and beyond. For your first mission, you will be heading to Coregium, a Roman/Greek inspired city where you'll investigate reports of vampires menacing the city's population.

I've put the most important information in the title but let me know if you have any other questions, and please make absolutely sure that you have nothing else going on during Thursday Nights before joining. (Time zone is MDT) (Players start out at level 3) (Server is 18+)

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][SWRPG][Star Wars RPG][LQBTQ Welcome][Tuesday Bi-Weekly 8Pm to 12Pm EST] Fall of The Republic, Rise of The Empire

1 Upvotes

A new age came to the galaxy, one brought on by the end of great war, an unexpected betrayal, and the turning of power from one seat to another. Least that's how most came to see it when The Empire came to it's rise, a new face sat upon the pyramid. That was, until new rules, regulations, and restrictions came trickling down from tippy top, to drown the rats at the bottom. Many suffer under the iron grip of The Empire and her many heads, whether its being ground under the boot of an Imperial Officer, or by the reports filed by the ISB that causes people to disappear into the night. Some come to agree that this new boot on the throat of the commonfolk is inexcusable, they throw their fists into the air and shout of injustice, the roars of rebellion are brewing and swelling like a wave ready to crash into the shore that is The Empire. You can only hope it wont crush the innocent below its roiling depths before it reaches its target.

This will be a longer, story driven adventure around a group of Five to Six noble heroes, from very different walks of life who are forced together by events that almost seem destined to steer them towards changing the galaxy. Set just 2 short years after the fall of The Republic with true Imperial law just beginning to take effect.

Allowed Content - All three books are fair game, want to play a Smuggler? play a Smuggler. A Jedi survivor? Go for it! A clone on the run after order 66? Fuck yeah!

Limitations - I want to keep it all fair and balanced, so I am limiting the campaign to one to two Jedi, depending on player count, and will be banning the Morality system. ALSO 18+ ONLY

Systems - We'll be using Roll 20 for the Maps and Characters (using the API for rolling), with Discord for the maps, and Hyperdrive to help create the characters.

Character Creation - In keep with the idea of "Unsuspecting Heroes" the start will be either a Duty or Obligation pick with +5 XP and +1000 credits, anything you CAN pick up with that, feel free to.

Canon - This obviously might change the story of Episode IV ALOT, which is why we'll be following our own story, so fear not you wont be railroaded by current Canon, and may even find your chance to face off against some historic baddies!
