Got a group but no GM? I run long D&D 5e campaigns for existing groups (friends, couples, families). My longest campaign has passed 95 sessions, and I've run others that went on for months and years. On Roll20: 100+ players, 1,000+ hours played, 10,000+ dice rolled.

What makes my table different: your campaign becomes a story you keep.

- Every session is recorded in Discord (Craig bot, with everyone's OK)

- It's transcribed and summarized, and the best lines are kept word for word

- I write it up as a chronicle, the session told as a story

- It's published on your group's own campaign page: heroes, allies, enemies, loot, lore.

Read one session's chronicle: https://www.rpgtime.games/campaigns/dragonkin/session-85/scene/1

And the whole campaign: https://www.rpgtime.games/campaigns/dragonkin

- For: an existing group of 2–6 players who want a long story, not a one-shot

- When: evenings, around 8 PM Central (your group picks the night), weekly, ~3 hours

- Where: Roll20 + Discord (Alchemy too, if your group prefers)

- Price: first session free, then $15 per player per session. Pay through rpgtime.games or PayPal, whichever suits you.

DM me with your group size, availability and what you'd like to play, or find me on Discord: https://discord.gg/tyHhGNdwQw

I am set up with Young Heroes to DM for Kids. Looking for after school groups and weekends for kids. I will run one shots or campaigns. Also always on the look out for adult players for one shots or campaigns. Drop me a line!

Take your first steps into Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk. Explore unfamiliar places, meet people worth getting attached to, and discover the adventure together, no knowledge of the story needed.

I like players who give me something unexpected to work with. An elaborate bluff, an improvised trap, a plan held together by optimism: pitch it, and we’ll see what happens.

My table runs on creative freedom, nilboggery and consequences. There’s room for silliness, but danger still matters. Help your companions shine, get involved in the world, and be prepared to live with your decisions.

• 3–5 players, keeping the group small.
• 3–5 hour sessions, with breaks.
• Foundry VTT + Discord voice; no books or software purchases required.
• D&D 2024 rules, beginning at level 1.
• Character creation and Foundry support for anyone who needs it.
• An expansive list of Patreon modules including Morvold Press, Monks , BSLX, JB2A and many more

Bring a character at the beginning of their adventuring career, with a reason to work alongside others. A brief backstory is enough; we can develop the rest together.

New and experienced players welcome. Questions? Comment or message me.

Once in a while, I host an educational campaign for first-time/new players that includes teaching, adaptive pacing, character-building help, and all-around 5e "tutoring" of sorts. I am a hobby DM and career educator, and after teaching my students how to play, I want to help other players get the hang of it in a judgment-free zone.

The buy-in is $10 per player, and every session after is $5 per player. (You will come to find that the average paid game is about $20 to $25 a session)

The game itself is a basic adventure set in Waterdeep and along the Sword Coast. I have 3 slots left, the game is 18+, and my inbox is open for questions.

I have several games currently listed on StartPlaying.Games.

Other games I have prepped, but not yet posted:

Vampire The Masquerade 20th Anniversary Edition: The Cruel Hand. No scheduled day or time as of yet. Anticipated group size: 5 players. Will be run through Discord. Anticipated cost: $20/Session.

Basic Premise: This chronicle is designed to teach players the truth behind the Sabbat from the inside. Characters will enter the Sabbat in-game, whether created in a mass embrace, or subjected to a creation rite. We will play through the process of abandoning Humanity for a Path of Enlightenment. You'll learn the parts the Camarilla never wanted you to know.

Street Fighter: After The Fall. No scheduled day or time as of yet. Anticipated group size: 5 players. Will be run on Roll20 using its card decks for Combat Cards. Anticipated cost: $20/Session.

Basic Premise: Survival in a Post-Apocalyptic World. Shadoloo's obsession with Psycho Power drove them to a place they never should have gone. The backlash descimated the world, and corrupted Psycho Power for anyone attempting to touch it. Now the various martial arts dojos are bastions of safety and knowledge in what's left of the world.

FFG Star Wars: Shadows of the Commonwealth. No scheduled day or time as of yet. Anticipated group size: 5 players. Will be run through Discord. Anticipated cost: $20/Session.

Basic Premise: The campaign begins exactly one year after the formation of the Empire, on a custom world in the Colonies region just outside the Core. The Empire is present, but they're playing nice. So far. You won't be coming into a pre-existing resistance, you'll experience the betrayals that give birth to one, and decide what to do to defend your home as more and more gets taken away from you.

For more information on any of these games, or about scheduling, please contact me directly through Reddit or StartPlaying.

Thanks for looking!

Dark Frontier Fantasy | Tactical Roleplay | Political Intrigue | Living World Campaign | Growing Items

Starting at level 1 going all the way to 20! (Currently Level 4)

Azural remembers everything.

In the foothills of the Drenthars, most names are forgotten, most contracts are written in dust, and only Azural itself bothers to keep score.

You start in the fading frontier town of Arazar, just mere faces in the crowd, taking whatever work will keep you fed.
• Escorting short caravans that never make the stories.
• Settling petty border quarrels.
• Finding the missing, no one can afford to mourn.
• Looking the other way on smuggling runs.
• Digging up graves for coins that barely shine.

Small jobs for small people.

Until Azural begins to change around you—and the first whispers of a divine crime start to echo from the shadows.

Will you silence those whispers, or turn them into the cry that rights a long‑forgotten wrong?

StartPlaying GM Profile

A storm is brewing under the oppressive eyes of the Lord Ruler as civil unrest builds. But, as a simple smuggling crew, you’re not part of such global conflicts. Well. Not yet. And when you do get involved, your actions may very well cause vibrations that affect other similar crews centuries later...

Set on Scadriel, a planet in Brandon Sanderson’s literary universe called the Cosmere, Mistborn Legacy tells the story of two crews over the course of two separate timelines: a smuggling crew in the more classic fantasy Era 1 and a treasure hunting crew in the Industrial Revolution and Wild West themed Era 2. You will play members of both of these groups, with your actions in the first half of the campaign impacting your experience in the second half. Alongside familiar characters from the Mistborn books, you will take on the role of allomancers and feruchemists being swept up in a conflict bigger than they ever dreamed possible in this beginner-friendly campaign.

About me: My name is Tess, a trans game master with over a decade of professional GMing experience, including a Masks: A New Generation podcast running for multiple years. My tables are safe, inclusive spaces, utilizing safety tools to make sure players of all identities feel comfortable. As a trans woman, I know that player comfort is an absolute necessity, equally important to thrilling combat and engaging roleplay.

Here's just some of what folks who have played with me have said about my games and my table:

"Tess is an A+ improviser and storyteller and her Cosmere game has been a delight to play in... Her enthusiasm for my budding Lightweaver has already turned him into one of my favorites."

"Super attentive to party balanced spotlight time, great immersive scene descriptions, and very strong understanding of the game system! Tess has such a great understanding of the world that she can recall scenes from the books and character types immediately to drop you right into the world."

"Tess is one of the best examples for what a player wants in a GM - she's knowledgeable about systems, empathetic with character action/interaction, and cinematic in her storytelling approach."

The Imperium of Man is waging the Achillus Crusade across the stars to drive back powerful alien forces. The Feral world of Aurum possesses vital resources, but its fierce warrior people are unimpressed by Imperial missionaries. Only one group is mighty enough to impress these warriors and win their allegiance: the superhuman Space Marines of the Deathwatch. But strange forces are conspiring against them, and the Space Marines will need both firepower and cunning to succeed. Do you have what it takes to be one of the Emperor's angels of death? Do you Know No Fear?

Hi all, I'm Davi, a UK-based DM with about 8 years of experience and 100+ games run. I'm putting together a long-form campaign called Operation Deadfall and I'm looking for players.

The pitch: a lich in Thay is finishing a ritual that will raise an undead army powered by stolen demon energy. The one ruler who saw it coming got branded a traitor for saying so, so she hires outsiders who can't be traced back to her. That's your party. You sneak into the court, sabotage the ritual and kill him before it finishes, and nobody can ever know you were there.

This is a spy thriller, so expect disguises, bribes, blackmail, dead drops and quiet deals in crowded markets. The enemy runs an actual spy network. If you're loud in a tavern, fight in front of witnesses or skip the disguise, his agents come looking for you. I keep a secrecy tracker the players can see, so you always know how much heat you're carrying. Planning like a heist crew will get you a lot further than charging in, and I reward clever prep.

How I run it:

• Every session opens mid-scene with something already going wrong
• Full voice acting for NPCs, and music scored to the scene
• Combat-light, roleplay-heavy, rules mostly as written with some Rule of Cool
• Faces, scouts, fixers and fighters all get their own moment
• A few small homebrew rules to reward planning and character backstory (like "I Planned For This", which lets you declare you prepped something ahead of time)

The details:

• 5e using the 2024 rules, starting at level 11 and going to 20
• Saturdays, 9pm GMT+1, OR Monday, 10pm GMT+1, 3 hours
• 5 seats, starts once 3 players have joined
• $20 per session, charged when a session starts
• Foundry VTT, D&D Beyond and Discord
• 18+, and a Session 0 is required
• No generative AI used in any of my games

Non-Thayan characters are welcome too. Mercenaries, exiles, activists and travelers all work as long as your character has a reason to hate what Szass Tam is up to. You don't need to know the setting, I'll teach you what your character would know.

If you've never booked through StartPlaying, my link gets you $10 off your first session:

Happy to answer questions in the comments or DMs. Bring a code name and a cover story!

Unlikely heroes wield the blessings of a love goddess to outfox evil warlords, wizards and monsters! Come join the resistance in this fantasy sandbox campaign, and steal back your kingdom one caper (or one heart) at a time!

System: Legend in the Mist. I chose it because it gives the player a lot of flexibility, is easy to learn, and has a strong narrative focus.

Schedule: Asynchronous play-by-post, with a twist. To keep the game moving, we'll meet in text chat once per week on a schedule that works for both of us. During that time, you'll have my full attention and we can quickly move through an exciting scene or advance the plot without interruption.

Venue: Foundry VTT, hosted via Forge so you'll have 24/7 access to the game. (If Foundry doesn't work for you, I am happy to move the game to Rolegate instead.)

Price: $40 per week for a duet game. If you'd like to bring friends, it's $20 per seat per week, including yours. (I won't put you in a game of this kind with randoms--if you want to play with a group, you'll need to bring players you're already comfortable with.)

Story: Ten years ago, an evil horde conquered the kingdom of Bannifar. The old heroes are all dead. The armies are scattered into the hills. The roads are unsafe, and dark things lurk in the woods. Even the gods have gone silent--except one. Lyndra, the goddess of love, flits from dream to dream, inspiring unlikely heroes to form a new resistance against the horde and its evil barons.

Like the style, but the story isn't what you're looking for? Feel free to reach out. I'm happy to put together something custom for you or your group!

The mists have claimed you.

I'm looking for 5 players to join a weekly Curse of Strahd campaign set in the haunted land of Barovia.

I've been DMing for around 5 years, and I'm looking to build a group that wants to experience the campaign as a long-term story rather than simply rushing from encounter to encounter.

Campaign Details

Curse of Strahd
5 players
$20 per player/session
Thursday — 6:30 PM UK
3-4 hours per session
Weekly
Foundry VTT + Discord

What kind of game is it?

🦇 Gothic horror and dark fantasy
🎭 Character-focused storytelling
🔎 Investigation and mysteries
⚔️ Dangerous tactical combat
🗺️ Exploration and adventure
☠️ Meaningful consequences
👑 Strahd is an active presence throughout the campaign

Your characters aren't just passing through Barovia. They'll have their own reasons for being there, relationships to develop, and choices that can have lasting consequences.

I'm particularly interested in players who enjoy getting into character and contributing to the story, but there's still plenty of combat, exploration and classic D&D adventure.

New players are welcome. You don't need to know every rule before joining.

⚠️ Content warning: This is a gothic horror campaign and includes violence, death, psychological horror and other mature themes.

Interested?

Send me a DM and tell me a little about yourself and what sort of character you'd want to bring into Barovia.

I'll answer any questions you have and can provide the StartPlaying page with the full campaign details
