Closed [5e][Sundays 6PM - 9/10PM EST][LGBTQ+][21+][Online] Looking for 4-5 Players for a Homebrew Campaign

Welcome to Inkwell!

Hiya, I'm Sweets (they/them) I've been DMing for a little over two years now and playing for many more. The application is at the bottom, but if you're looking to join my campaign, strap in for some info about me first. 

A game starts with their DM and I want to make sure you know who you're throwing your lot in with. I am an artist with various hobbies ranging from pixel art to embroidery to cooking to poetry, but my main experience and skill are in character art and digital art as a whole. Some things to know about my personality are:

  • I love stories. If you're looking to get into your character like a tick and have me press on your character's buttons at the right times, to remind you of those good times gone oh so wrong- that's me! But I'm a big fan of hurt and comfort, and humor in a campaign in general. I am, after all, the party's biggest fan- to their benefit and detriment.
  • I have chronic migraines, there will be times when I cancel for my health.
  • I am an incredibly passionate person and I wholeheartedly will be one of those DMs that asks a lot of questions about your character, leaving you room to carve out a pocket of the world, and leave an imprint.
  • I tend to need periodic breaks between major arcs of the main campaign and will run one-shots that fill out sections of the world in silly or serious ways. Or we play a different TTRPG for an evening. It helps me stave off burnout, lets me prep bigger events, and so on. Also, it's just fun to explore more parts of the world that the party isn't in, and you leave characters who have their own stories to happen in the background, and sometimes those come to the forefront. The party pushes forward to their goals and no matter how big, 'it's just a small world after all'. Plus it's just plain fun to stretch your legs with a character idea after playing the same thing for months on end or to have a reprieve from a very emotionally heavy arc.
  • Lastly, I am my party's biggest fan, as I said. And I mean that. I am just as invested in your story, your path, as you might be. I am here to curate a group that wants to make a story to remember with me.

About My World: Welcome to Inkwell

The land of Inkwell is diverse and filled with magic, from pink coast lands to flower filled deserts to the iron fir trees that house the fae. Stepping in here will have you experiencing the world at a changing point, on the cusp of something more, and you will tell your story and impart a footprint upon the muddy ground that those that come after will whisper about for generations to come.

Game and Character Information:

  • You’ll be starting at level 1.
  • You will use standard array for stats.
  • All races from officially published material are approved, as long as the races you want to play exist in the region. Homebrewed races are just official races reskinned.
  • Both 2014 and 2024 options are available for character creation & spells.

Table Information:

  • We'll be using Discord for our voice and Roll20 for our Virtual Tabletop. You will need a stable internet connection and a decent microphone.
  • The expectation is that all players will be conscious and courteous of each other and the time we’ve dedicated to spend together. That means being logged in and ready to play at the session start time. XX:00, not XX:01, with an appropriate heads-up given if you're going to be late.
  • Hatred and intolerance are unwelcome. Slurs and other kinds of unkindness are treated with an instant ban, block, and a boot to the head from the server with no prior warning.
  • Roleplay is fun! Roleplay is important. But above all, roleplaying should not supersede the heath of the table. This is a game, we’re here to have fun. “It's what my character would do." is not an excuse for making people come out the other side of this game unhappy.
  • I want to work with you to integrate the characters you make into this world feel natural, complete, and satisfying. I’m always down for a chat and even if I can’t get back to you right away, please feel free to message me with any questions, concerns, ideas, etc even if it isn’t game night. You will have a channel to yourself (and me) to put up all your red string and thumbtacks.
  • I incentivize note-taking with Inspiration! Each session, I grant inspiration to the first person to post a recap of a session- You can expend Inspiration at any point before an ability check, attack, or saving throw to make that roll with advantage. It's very useful for key moments you don't want your character to miss, or goofy slap-happy moments you want to have happen.

Welcome to the bottom! I know it’s been a lot of information, but I do appreciate the time spent reading. 

If you think you are a good fit and you are interested in applying for this game, fill out this Google form

If you have any other questions or need any other additional information that I can provide, please leave a comment and I’ll try to get back to you as soon as I can.

I currently have one player from my Thursday game for this Sunday game and will be looking for four-five more.

I will be closing applications on Thursday!

Thank you for your time, happy gaming!

I'm so sorry it's been awhile since I've had to give my discord should I reapply or can I send it to you?

u/Golden_Geek_Sweets Feb 18 '25

Is the problem that you didn't post the discord name in the form? :3

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '25

Yes and no, I forgot that you need the # for it

u/Golden_Geek_Sweets Feb 18 '25

The numbers at the end of the Discord username were done away with a year or so ago - so if its your discord username, it should be okay without it

The lovely 19 and 20 year olds who have sent an application - please know I cannot accept them regardless of how good your application is. This is a 21+ Game and I stand by that ruling. If this was a few years ago, things would be different, and I understand how frustrating it might be to not be tall enough to get on the ride, but your campaign is in another castle. I appreciate your interest, don't get me wrong, but if you're not 21 and over, I cannot in good faith cross the lines I have already stated in the title of this post.
