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

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

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

- 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!
