## [LFM][Online][Other][D&Z][Thursdays] "DEAD STATE" — Survival is a Team Sport [Semi-Realistic/Long-Term]

> "The sirens stopped weeks ago. Now there’s just the wind, the hunger, and the sound of something scratching at the door. You have a flashlight with one bar of battery, a rusted pipe, and three strangers you have to trust with your life. Ready to see how long you last?"

>

### 🧟 The Campaign

This is a **D&Z: Post-Apocalyptic RPG** campaign focused on the immediate, heart-pounding reality of a zombie outbreak. We’re aiming for a long-term story where the world is dangerous, but the focus is on the action and the tough choices your group makes in the heat of the moment. We are aiming for a "Slightly Realistic" feel—think Zombieland or Left 4 Dead. It’s about the tension, the close calls, and the satisfaction of clearing out a nest.

* **Tone:** "Slightly Realistic"—meaning we care about ammo and health, but we aren't going to spend three hours calculating the weight of your socks. We want the tension of *The Walking Dead* without the homework.

* **The Goal:** Travel, scavenge, and survive. The world is open, and where you go is up to the group.

### ⚙️ Game Info

* **System:** D&Z: Post-Apocalyptic RPG

* **Schedule:** Thursdays (Weekly/Bi-weekly, time TBD by player schedules).

* **Platform:** Discord (Voice) + Roll20 for maps and combat.

* **Open Slots:** Looking for 4 or more survivors

### ⚔️ What I’m Looking For

* **Team Players:** This is a group game. Lone wolves usually end up as zombie snacks.(or at least be a compelling loner).

* **Survival Priority:** If you found a working car and a crate of food, but could only keep one, which would it be?

* **Reliability:** Since this is a long-term project, I’m looking for players who can make Thursday sessions a regular habit.

* **Story-First:** You don’t need to be a professional actor, but be ready to make decisions as your character would!

### 📝 To Apply

Send me a DM on my discord (wolfydaxykopathkiller) with these details:

  1. **Name/Age/Timezone:**

  2. **Experience:** (New to D&Z? No problem, I can teach you! and the PDF is free)

  3. **Character Archetype:** What kind of survivor are you? (The ex-cop, the panicked student, the lucky drifter, etc.) or Give me a one-sentence "vibe" for your survivor.

  4. **Favorite Zombie Media:** (So I know what kind of 'scary' you like!) or Your "Signature Weapon": If you were stuck in a mall during the outbreak, what’s the first thing you’d grab?

[Online][Starfinder 2e] Calling all Starfinders: a murder in a neon machine-city awaits

Good morning prospective Starfinders!

I am currently looking to start a new campaign with a full crew of up to 5 players. 

Here’s the thing, I am brand new to Starfinder, so I am hoping to run this in two different phases, outlined below. I am looking to learn this system alongside some new players or even experienced players who have the patience to work with me as I learn.

About the story - Murder in Metal City:
A strange message beckons strangers to Striving, an expansive megaplex city on Aballon, the planet of Machines. There, they gather in a neon-lit cafe, surrounded by androids and robots, to meet an old friend. The bartender brings them refreshments—and a holographic recording from their mutual acquaintance.

"Greetings, friends! If you’re watching this, it’s because I’ve experienced an unexpected shutdown—in organic terms, I’m dead."

The discovery of their friend’s unexpected murder turns these strangers into a crew of unlikely investigators. To find the killer, they’ll need to outrun murderous robots, outwit clever foes, and analyze perplexing clues—all while wondering if they’re hunting the murderer, or if the murderer is hunting them! The streets of Striving can be an unforgiving place, and the investigators will need all their skills, resources—and no small amount of luck—to come out ahead, solve the murder, find the killer’s hideout, and bring them to justice!

About Me:

  • My name is Austin (He/Him) , from Ontario, Canada
  • I am 35 years old
  • I have about 12 years of experience with TTRPGs, mostly as a DM.
  • I have a pretty busy office job in education. I am technically on-call all week, 6AM to midnight, interruptions rarely occur, and anything that does come up usually is minor and will take less than 5-10 minutes.
  • Video games are something I am very passionate about, you’ll probably see me in Discord playing whatever is popular at the moment. 
  • I am a big traveler, my partner and I just got back from Spain with plans to get back on a plane as soon as possible! 
  • I love coffee, Formula 1, soccer (football) and pretty much anything you would consider nerdy!

About You:

  • No previous experience required
  • 20+.
  • English speaking
  • Able to consistently commit to sessions (session details below).
  • Be willing to put time into your character and the game. 
  • Have a clear microphone and no background noise during sessions.
  • Willing to be engaged in the game, be committed to the campaign and converse in and out of the game.
  • I am going to try to post on the Discord channel regularly. I want to have engagement and conversation between sessions. The hope is we get to know each other along the way.
  • Be patient and willing to learn the game.
  • I would love to hear more about you in the application!

 

The Game:

  • Starfinder 2e 
  • No in game or out of game bullying/racism/harassment/etc.
  • I do my best to make each NPC you encounter sound unique and different, unfortunately, I have ZERO talent when it comes to doing voices, but I will still always try and am usually pretty light hearted about it!
  • I try to follow the “rule of cool” as much as possible, but won’t let it break the game.
  • While I'd prefer to play in a game with no AI, it's not a dealbreaker for me.

Phase 1:

  • Running Murder in Metal City - a pre-written AP by Paizo.
  • Character options will be limited to the Starfinder Primer for this adventure, let’s keep things simple for the first AP

Phase 2:

  • Running a longer length AP (Either Guilt of the Grave World or Tales from the Vast Adventure Anthology)
  • Will likely open up the character options at that time

Sessions:

  • Sessions will be every other week.
  • Sessions will take place on alternating Tuesdays from 5:30 to 9:00/9:30 PM EST.
  • These times and dates are concrete.
  • Looking to start in early-mid May

 Technology / Programs

  • We are going to start with Roll20 and Demiplane - They link together to make things a bit easier. This may change as my preferred platform is FoundryVTT
  • Voice will be done over Discord, which is where all of the between session conversations will be held.
  • Discord is where I will post all of the information for the campaign/game etc.

How to apply

  • Please complete this form, this is a Google Form that I will review within the next week or so.
  • This is not first-come-first-serve, and I will be taking applications until I’m completely sure I have everyone I need to start. If the post doesn’t say “Closed”, it’s still open.

 

Questions?

  • If you have questions, please drop those as a reply to this post, I will try to update it daily!

Thank you for taking the time to read this and if you do apply, good luck!

Looking for Players Interested in a Superhero Campaign! [MM3] [Online]

The world has lost trust in heroes.

Once symbols of hope, and protectors of the peace, have now become rejects to society after the fall of the Golden Age of heroes; hate fueled by collateral damage, fear of power, and life-threatening events has caused the rejection of heroes no matter the amount of good done, yet change is planned to take course.

No matter what the image of heroes may be, it's no doubt that the world needs their protectors, and a new age of heroes, a new age born through government order. Handpicked from across the globe, you have been chosen not by fame, but by potential to do right. you have been carefully selected to not only restore the image of what heroes use to be but rebuild and fortify the image of peace our past symbols of hope fought for.

[Online] [Pf2e] [18+] [LGBTQIA+ Friendly] Homebrew Victorian-esque Pathfinder 2e Campaign

About Me + System

Hello! My name is Luke (he/him), I am 28, and I have pretty consistently been running Dungeons and Dragons 5e as a DM (first 2014, more recently 2024) for the past ~6 years. Great system, I still enjoy it and play it, but I am looking to explore some more systems. I am really interested in running and trying out Pathfinder 2e to see if combat can be a bit more engaging than 5e. I am certainly not asking that everyone who volunteers be familiar with Pf2e, but I am asking that you be open to learning (and be open to giving a bit of patience to me as I work through the kinks of running a new system).

My day job is teaching High School English, so I have a passion for both stories and teaching! I like to think that I’m at least fairly decent at clearly explaining new systems; I have taught new groups 5e, Blades in the Dark, and Vaesen in the past. 

Time Availability

Being a teacher, my upcoming summer will be pretty open, which is when I’m ideally looking to run the campaign. If the group works out well and our schedules align, we can always continue past the summer as well!

I’m located in the US on the West Coast, so I’m in Pacific Time. It would be cool to set something up during the day (as early as 9 AM PDT up to maybe 12 PM PDT). If you’re also a teacher with an open summer schedule, this might work super well for you!

This availability for me starts the last week of June/first week of July. I recognize I am reaching out quite a ways in advance! If schedules align, we could always start a bit earlier: my Wednesday and Thursday evenings (~6:30 PM PDT) are typically open, but we would likely have to miss a week occasionally if we met evenings.

Type of Game

While I want combat to be strategic and meaningful, I do not tend to enjoy running dungeon-crawl style adventures. Rather, I like something that tends to be a bit more RP-focused. I like games where the players have buy-in and where main conflicts intersect with personal conflicts, allowing for ethical quandaries and difficult moral decisions. I would hope to include elements of political intrigue, mystery, and class conflict. 

I would ask that, as a player, you would be willing to put in some time up front to answer questions regarding characters goals, desires, relationships, struggles, etc. I want to use elements of these to design the overarching narrative. 

“Table” Guidelines (Virtual Table, that is)

I run games that are LGBTQIA+ friendly. You should be someone who is accepting of all, regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, etc. Additionally, during Session Zero, we will go over content that we do not want in the campaign, what content we are okay with happening “on-screen” vs. “off-screen,” etc. 

Conflict between characters, especially in service of the overall narrative, is encouraged. However, conflict between players should be immediately addressed and resolved in the moment; the purpose, after all, is to have fun!

Setting

I have a homebrew setting that I have run a couple of campaigns in before. It is largely inspired by Victorian-era England, taking place in an industrial city with options to explore smaller towns in the countryside. 

Many historical issues that surrounded this era are also present here: labor strikes, class disparity, corrupt law enforcement, and unfair labor practices on the side of the factory-owners are just a few that are present. Conflict within the city is typically between humanoids; any monster conflicts tend to only occur out in the wilderness of the countryside. 

With the fairly recent perfection of the printing press and cheap production of paper to disseminate information, printed spell “pamphlets” are being produced with spells that help productivity in factories. These are largely non-damage dealing spells, but there are weak fire spells to help with the burning of coal and other materials. 

Lore

I personally like to keep lore a bit on the minimal/flexible side. I’ll give you a bit more context if you end up playing, but I will essentially focus on building lore that relates to the characters. I have found, in the games that I have DMed, players are more likely to find lore interesting if it directly pertains to their characters’ goals. 

Logistics

I own a Foundry VTT license, so we would play through that. Once a group is set, we can start a Discord channel and communicate there!

Ideally, the party would be four players. I have run larger groups and smaller groups, but I personally find four to be the sweet spot. 

Depending on how we are all feeling, this could be just a ~10-12 session campaign, or if folks are enjoying it and have the schedule availability, it could have the potential to go further.

I Want to Play! Now what?

Great! Please fill out the Google Form below, and I will try to get back to you soon. If there is a lot of interest, you’ll likely hear within the week or sooner.

[Online][5e 2024][EST][18+] Cinders of the Flaming Fist

It is 1505, Year of the Ogres Marching.

At the beginning of the campaign, for one reason or another, you serve the Flaming Fist. Former criminals, nobles, cretins; you all are future heroes for Baldur's Gate. As the sword to the Watch's shield for the city, you are told to aspire to serve in the frontlines against the next inevitable threat that haunts in the distance. You are promised a new life, either as reward or penance, for your dues. Eventually, a proper life within the Inner City if you play your cards right. Your conscription, however, demands a price for past sins.

You are part of a task force of bottom-ranked Fists led by Gauntlet Elron. Elron is your commanding officer for your assignment to the Rivington and Twin Songs neighborhoods of the Outer City. You'll be following his command and seeing these neighborhoods from a fresh perspective. As you roam the countryside, you'll find that being a Flaming Fist isn't immediately lucrative.

Quickly, you'll discover how different the militia has become since the Absolute Crisis threatened Baldur's Gate and the rest of Faerun with a reckoning. The city has been home to some of the most horrific events in history, something acknowledged by Grand Duke Ulder Ravengard himself. With the city rebuilt and reform for leadership on its way, Ravengard promises a new era for the corruption-weathered city of dark politics and plots.

Together, you move onward.

Outside of the premise, your overall motives are yours to decide. Here are a few examples of hooks for why you joined the Flaming Fist:

-Surviving the Absolute Crisis inspired you to rebuild Baldur's Gate and also serve it in hopes of a brighter future.

-You're given an opportunity to work off a sentencing as the Flaming Fist are in need of capable soldiers. Maybe someone saw something in you and didn't want to waste the talent.

-You seek the life and reverie of a hero, what better place to start than becoming a local legend of the Outer City?

-You've joined with a deceptive motive. Maybe there was an official political program that was good for public relations, maybe you are from a more illicit background. Either way, the intent is espionage and you are their inside agent. You'll need to keep proving your loyalty on both sides, who will you choose?

--

I am looking for 4-5 players for a campaign of my own design! While the premise seems simple, I can assure you there is a lot more in store (of course there is, it's Baldur's Gate! they can't have it good). I've run a few long-term campaigns and wanted to do something more original. I am utilizing some of the newer books for ideas, but this is NOT based on any existing campaign.

It is an exploration of Baldur's Gate to start, but eventually it will become so much more. The city will be the central hub and focus of many story beats, with plenty of opportunity for greatness. If you are looking for a roleplay-heavy campaign and also to be empowered by the DM, this game is for you!

This game will be hosted on Discord and Roll20 and does not have a concrete time set (waiting on having players) though it will likely be Friday/Saturday evenings. Fill out the following questionnaire if you're interested:

[Online] [5e 2014] [CST 7p-11p] [Thursdays] [21+] Looking for 2 more players for campaign!

Hey everyone!

I’m looking to add 2 more players to our campaign. We’re running a fantasy setting using 5e (2014 rules). The current group is experienced and leans pretty heavy into RP, but we still keep a good balance with combat, problem solving, and just having fun with the game.

We’re a pretty laid-back group overall, everyone shows up, plays their character, and contributes to the story. There’s a good mix of serious moments, character development, and some dumb and funny stuff that just happens naturally.

Looking for people who are easygoing, enjoy roleplay, and can mesh well with a group that already has a good rhythm. Experience is great, but not required as long as you’re into the style of play.

If that sounds like your kind of game, feel free to DM me with any questions or if you’re interested in joining!

[Online] [Starfinder 2e] [MST] [Weekly or bi-weekly] Player looking for group. Long time D&D 5e 2014 player looking for a Starfinder 2e space adventure. I have some experience with Pathfinder 2e, so I won't be too much of a newb.

I played a sci-fi campaign a while ago and got the itch to play another. So I'm hoping to find a campaign that feels something like Mass Effect, Firefly, Cowboy Bebop, The Expanse, Guardians of the Galaxy, or a combo of all of them! To put it simple, I just want to have a space adventure. Sci-fi is my favorite genre and it sounds like so much fun to play Starfinder 2e, especially cause my OG group doesn't have enough people in it interested to do something not-fantasy.

A bit about me.

  • I like a balance between RP, combat and exploration. Gimme something to problem solve though and I'll be as happy as a clam.
  • While I'd prefer to play in a game with no AI, it's not a dealbreaker.
  • In my 30s, and don't want to play with other players that are underage.
  • I am male and friendly towards LGBTQ+
  • I will be new to Starfinder so I will need a little help, though I am also learning to DM for Pathfinder 2e (for my OG group) so I should be able to catch on very fast.
  • I'll be that player that asks what kind of cool hooks you got during my PC backstory creation.

Scheduling:

  • I've got a regular work schedule.
  • For a weekly game: Earliest start time can be 6pm MST for Mon, Tues or Wed.
  • For a bi-weekly game: Same as above but can accommodate for Saturdays and Sundays with more time flexibility on those days.

I tend to be the player that likes to poke the dragon so expect me to cause a little chaos, but I also know when to stop and let others take the spotlight. My characters tend to start off as rip offs of other characters in pop-culture but gain their own voice as I figure them out.

I am familiar with Roll 20, Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.

[Online][5.5e/2024][FREE] Curse of Strahd | 6:00 PM MT | No Metagaming | Beginners Welcomed & Encouraged | Inclusive Table: All are welcomed |

(5 Players Needed. Will update as spaces are filled.)

The Mists of Barovia are shifting, and the rules of survival have changed. Under a sunless sky, in a land where even death offers no escape, the Devil waits.

Barovia is a realm of shadows, tucked away from the rest of the world. It is a land of ancient dread, where the wind howls through the spires of Castle Ravenloft and the locals have forgotten the warmth of the sun. This is a gothic horror campaign where survival isn't guaranteed, your wits are just as important as your sword, and the locals are very….. You will have to join and find out.

While I’m usually busy with my Professional homebrewed campaigns (2014 rules), I’m ready to add the 2024 rules as well as Curse of Strahd (CoS) to my roster. Honestly, this is my first time stepping away from my own worlds to run a pre-written module, so I’m offering this campaign at no cost while I master the lore and fine-tune the monsters for the 2024 rules. My goal is to re-balance the encounters so that the "power creep" of 5.5e doesn't kill the gothic horror or the constant threat of death. You get a high-end experience; I get the chance to master this story. I’m putting in the same level of care that I give to my regular professional games to make sure Barovia feels alive and dangerous.

🏰 The Experience

I'm pulling out all the stops to make sure this campaign is immersive:

Pyram King’s Legends Content: I am using high-resolution, multi-level maps with cinematic lighting, weather effects, and immersive ambient sounds. It’s built to be atmospheric and heavy.

Foundry VTT: I will be using The Forge to host, which means 24/7 access to your character sheet and snappy performance. I’ve spent a lot of time going through this module, changing up the monsters, and making sure everything works smoothly so we can focus on the story.

The "Always-On" Lounge: You’ll have access to a custom landing page. Between sessions, you can access your character from your phone, read lore journals, or update notes.

🎲 The Setup

Foundry Native: No D&D Beyond or Roll20 integration. All my content is directly on Foundry.

Physical Dice Welcome: I use the DF Manual Rolls module. You can roll your own physical dice at home and enter the result in Foundry (the keyword for your application is Aether). If you prefer digital, I have 3D dice active.

Discord for Audio/Video: Quality communication is required. We’ll also use Discord for group chat between sessions.

💻 Tech & Hardware Requirements

To handle the high-res maps and lighting, you’ll need a desktop or laptop with at least 8GB of RAM (16GB recommended) and hardware acceleration enabled in your browser. A stable 25 Mbps connection is also required. Foundry is not compatible with phones or tablets for live sessions.

👤 Who I Am Looking For

New Players Welcome! Absolutely no experience with D&D or Foundry VTT is necessary. I love playing with new players and enjoy teaching the game.

The "Beta" Mindset: Looking for players willing to provide honest feedback and a verified review of the experience at the end.

Consistency & Commitment: My time and yours are valuable. I’m looking for adults who respect the group's time and can show up consistently. If you have an unpredictable schedule that might lead to last-minute cancellations, this probably isn't the right fit. I want to build a group that can see this story through to the end together and actually enjoy each other's company.

📝 How to Apply

Please DM me here on Reddit. I know this looks like a mini-interview, but I really want to make sure the group clicks so we can all have a great game. Thanks for taking the time to fill this out. (just copy and paste the template below!)

Experience: What is your history with D&D or Foundry VTT? (It is 100% okay if the answer is "None"!)

The 2024 Rules: Are you familiar with the changes, or looking to learn the new 5.5e system?

Hardware Check: Can you confirm you will be playing on a Desktop or Laptop?

The Hook: What draws you to a gothic horror/dread-filled campaign?

Playstyle: What kind of player are you? (Roleplay heavy, tactical, quiet listener, etc.?)

The Character: What kind of character vibe or concept are you itching to play?

Maturity & Safety: Are you 18+, and are there any specific triggers, issues, or PTSD inducing topics that are a "no-go" for you?

The Stakes: This is a lethal campaign. Are you okay with the possibility of character death?

Teamwork: D&D is a team game. Are you comfortable prioritizing the party’s survival over individual glory?

Group Dynamic: What's one thing that makes a D&D group "click" for you?

Availability: Availability: I’m looking to run 3–4 hour weekly or bi weekly sessions starting at 6:00 PM Mountain Time (US). For other time zones, this is 7pm Central / 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific. Which of these days work for you?

a) Friday

b) Saturday

c) Sunday

  1. Weekly

  2. Bi weekly

[5e 2014][Online][5:30 PM AEST/7:30 AM UTC] While the Breath Remains

"The standing stones that fuel our world's magic are dying. Every spell cast chips another piece away, and no one can agree on what should be done, if anything. The highlands hold the most power and the most people willing to kill for it. The gods have opinions, but they're stuck on a mountain. This is a mortal problem now. Fix it or don't. The world ends either way."

Hello! My name is Topaz or Valkyrie. Or something like that. I'm a transfem DM looking to host a Dungeons & Dragons campaign. Do you like that game? It's running at a little bit of an unconventional time as I have an IRL friend (well, before he moved away) wanting to join. We live in New Zealand so it has to work around some odd hours.

Quick status update before you read on: Session 0 already happened and the table's mostly set, but one player bailed on us before we could get Session 1 off the ground. So I'm looking for one more to fill the seat. We've rescheduled Session 1 for this coming week, so if you're reading this on the weekend I posted it and the pitch grabs you, get an application in soon.

Sessions will be 3 hours, we'll use 2014 rules and we'll start at level 4. There's more information below in the Roll20 listing on how we'll handle character creation. The campaign is intended to last a few months or longer. At some point in the near future I will likely have to stop running games for like a month, but... we'll just make that a season finale cliffhanger or something.

As the blurb above might have hinted, I'm gonna be going a little outside my comfort zone and getting some deadlier combat in. But I'm still a story-focused DM. It'll be set in a mostly-highland setting where magic is drawn from hundreds of standing stones that contain a finite amount of magic around them. So some cities have taken them from other locations and others have just been abandoned once their magic was lost.

If you want to play a spellcaster, consider how your character feels about the consumption of magic. Druids, for example, as much more likely in this setting to limit their use of magic or try to mitigate their use of it. But martial classes who come from cities or small communities with their own standing stone might feel strongly about how magic should be used too.

Well, whatever you have in mind, feel free to apply here: Roll20

[offline][5e 2014] [5e 2024]Munster, Indiana group looking for new players

Hello. We are a group that has been together for several years. Recently some members have moved away. We are looking to recruit some players for our Saturday night game. We usually play 5e 2014 or 2024, but are open to other systems. We are currently running a home-brew campaign. We also occasionally change DMs, and campaigns, so no forever DMs here. We tend to focus more on RP than combat.

[Online][GURPS]Star Trek New Horizons

system: Gurps 4e+a homebrew ship to ship combat system
how will we play: mainly through discord with dice bots and GCS for character tracking the combat system doesn’t really need tokens and a battle map to function but I will probably throw together a owlbear ship combat map just for ease but ground combat will be all theatre of the mind and more cinematic if it ever comes up
Time and day: Sundays at 1pmEST ending at 5pmEST
Whom should apply: people that know how to use gcs well enough to add all the homebrew items im making for the game into their character sheets not to mention homebrew races aswell
Era/Universe: a alternate universe trek where the ferengi are hyper socialist and federation is known as the Democratic Republic Union of Stars(DRUS) and is not a utopian hyper socialist faction but more like the modern US economy is on paper with a large military and want for resources and land that necessitates wars or proxy wars with other factions such as the Klingon Republic, the Romulan-Reman-Garizian Alliance, the Holy Cardassian Empire, the Breen Confederation, Kzinti Matriarchy, The First Union, Alliance of Independent systems, Tholian Piety, and so on I’ll prolly make a map in paint of all the factions in the alpha and beta octants but that’s not where this takes place entirely

The story: you’re a crew aboard a DRUS Exploratative warship first of her class with a brand new transwarp drive capable of reaching places in hours that took days and days that took weeks the first test involves a precision strike against a Holy Cardassian Empire star base should be easy enough minimal protection is there but once it’s been disabled or destroyed you gun it to the next objective, but rumors are floating around of a test of a device that could with the transwarp drive make you reach past your enemies and allies to places untouched like the gamma, delta, omega quads

this game is supposed to be reminiscent of the AU in Strange new worlds with the AU Kirk

Addendum:ive decided why do all that work for the personnel side when prime directive exists lol so i will be using prime directive for most of the equipment besides adding some things here and there aswell as adding some new species for this AU but we'd be using the revised edition corebook for species that already exist and personal equipment but space combat is basically non-existent in prime directive so that all will still be homebrew, oh and we're using roll20 now 😄

Hello!

I am a new DM (only have done it once or twice lol) and I'm looking to organize a week or bi-weekly game.

We would be using roll20 and discord.

I am primarily interested in roleplaying and storytelling, but of course don't mind combat and exploration.

I'm open to any character ideas you might have and am not looking to supress or restrict any fun ideas you might have during play. (rule of cool)

All I ask from you is that you tolerate any mistake I might (and definintely will) make.

If you're interested or have more questions, fill out this form and message me on discord!

My username is batsnirklugu_00620! Look forward to seeing you there!

Form: https://forms.gle/HBso9SGH93GND4bc7

[Online] [Other] JJK pbp campaign! Players and GM needed!

[Discord] [LFG/DM] [Async PBP] Looking for Players and DM for a JJK campaign.

I have been interested in JJK for a while and trying to find a group to play a JJK inspired game/system with, but I unfortunately haven't been able to.

So now I am looking for players and a DM to run a group instead. I am capable of DM'ing, however I don't have much experience and would prefer to play instead.

We will be using the DnD 5e JJK extension.

https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Jujutsu\\\_Kaisen\\\_(5e\\\_Campaign\\\_Setting)

I am also open to using CAIN. (https://tombloom.itch.io/cain)

As for the setting, I am open to suggestions and a vote once the group has been formed. if you are interested, DM me your Discord username, your pbp/jjk experience, your time zone, your age range, and if you would like to be the DM or not. Thank you!

[Online][Other][5PM EST][Saturday][LGBT] Come and adventure across Eem in the rich, narrative sandbox of the Mucklands!

Hello! I'm looking for 3-4 daring adventurers who want to explore the Land of Eem. It's described as somewhere between Lord of the Rings, Adventure Time, Discworld, Labyrinth, and the Muppets. Trust me, all of those are 100% accurate. It leans into the whimsical aspects of fantasy, with a group of valiant heroes adventuring across a strange and wonderful world, but with darker undertones that touch on corporate greed, climate change, and it's a tiny bit post-apocalyptic.

It's truly one of the most fun games I've encountered, and in lieu of not many people running it themselves, I'm taking up the mantle with the campaign setting The Mucklands. This is a player-driven hexcrawl sandbox with some of the most fun locations, NPCs and sidequests that I've ever encountered - and while I'm not going to be perfect by any means, as this is my first time running Eem or any pre-written sandbox, I would love to share some joy with people.

The system is primarily narrative, and while combat is always an option, it's not usually the best one - or even a good one. You'll often find yourself being able to talk down an enemy, creatively manipulate the environment, or simply run away to win an encounter instead of hitting them head-on with a sword. I'd say probably 80/20 narrative/combat split. Potentially, you should expect some sessions with no combat at all.

The system gives players a lot of agency, even letting you sit in the GM chair for a bit with adding details to the world, and pursuing your own personal goal, whether that be to defeat an arch-enemy or just cook a really nice meal using a legendary fruit you've heard tales of.

Some info about my GM style specifically:

  • Roleplay-heavy.
  • Characters are expected to be fantastical and more than a little silly, but ultimately be three-dimensional characters, instead of one-note jokes.
  • Sessions will be about 3-4 hours, with a small intermission in the middle.
  • Theatre-of-the-mind. Players will get to see the hex grid, though.
  • I probably won't get the mechanics or lore of the world perfect right away, but will try my best.
  • The players are the main characters. I'm rooting for them.

I'm looking for players who:

  • Can use Discord and dice bots. No VTT will be used.
  • Enjoy roleplay and making proactive characters.
  • Are 18 or older.
  • Are accepting of marginalized identities. Bigots need not apply. (I'm nonbinary myself)
  • Can show up to weekly sessions at 5PM EST. If a player is missing, then I will continue the session without them. If two players are missing, then I might still run it, but it'll be some fun, non-canon side-stuff.
  • Have any level of experience with tabletop RPGs, but I will be looking for beginners to Land of Eem specifically, so we're all on the same page.
  • Have good mic quality. Webcams will not be used, and the game will not be recorded.

This form will stay up until Wednesday next week. In the meantime, I will be reaching out to applicants for interviews on Discord. Please make sure you're watching your friend requests! Saturday next week will hopefully be Session 0, where we will do introductions, make characters, and go over the basic rules of the game. Feel free to send me a chat on Reddit if you have any questions or concerns not covered in this post.

Thank you for reading!
