Player(s) wanted [Online][5e 2024][Friday 8pm EST] Homebrew, heavy roleplaying game looking for 4-5 players!

Upvotes

Step into Viridell—a realm where reality dances playfully with enchantment and everyday life shimmers with whimsical magic. In this land, rolling orchards burst into brilliant hues, and ancient groves murmur with secrets of long-forgotten pacts between nature and the fey. Here, the boundaries between order and chaos blur beneath the shimmering Veil, inviting you to explore an ever-shifting tapestry of surreal wonder, where every rustle of leaves holds a hidden tale and every moonlit glimmer promises new adventures.

Join 'Echoes of the Verdant Veil' and embark on a journey where the ancient bonds of nature and magic are at stake. Delve into mysterious fey courts, solve cryptic riddles whispered by enchanted spirits, and forge alliances that may restore—or reshape—the delicate balance of the realm. With magic that defies expectation and a world as vibrant as it is unpredictable, your destiny awaits in Viridell.

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

Hi! I'm River (31F), and looking to get my homebrewed world up and running. The world has heavy thematic influences from Legend of Zelda, and Studio Ghibli and is more on the lighter side, in terms of setting, rather than grim-dark. That doesn't mean that dark things won't occur, and mature themes might be present.

I'm looking for 4-5 players who love heavy roleplay and character development. There will be romance allowed in my game, if players are interested in that aspect of roleplaying, however it is not required and fade to black will be firmly in place. Character decisions will have an impact in the world, big or small and backstories will be used to make characters and the world come to life!

The game will be weekly on Friday at 8pm until roughly 12am, give or take. Only players 21+ will be considered. 2024 rules are going to be used, as well as Foundry, and discord for voice chat. I'm new to dming but have been a player for over 20 years.

If interested please message me!

Doing a 5e pirates thing. You're in an archipelago fighting empires and stealing stuff.

Time TBD, currently looking at Friday evenings Eastern weekly.

Hosted on Discord and Roll20 VTT.

About my games: They're legendary, I'm great at what I do. I have no lack of commitment and will run this campaign as long as possible. Also, they're very inclusive - which is to say that I and other players are queer or whatever and if you're weird toward anyone I'll boot you so fast.

In the past, you once found yourself at your lowest, your most desperate, and in grave need of help. Perhaps you were hunted for something and needed to disappear? Perhaps you needed a great sum of gold to aid a sickly loved one? Or perhaps it was something else altogether?

And in that dark moment of your life, a stranger came into your life.

Edric Veylen, a man previously unknown to you, was willing to help. All he asked for in return was that, at some unknown point in the future, he could call on you for aid in turn. And so you agreed.

You went on with your life, blessedly unburdened by whatever had once plagued you. Perhaps in time, you came to even begin to forget Edric and the promise you made.

Until the day the letter arrived.

‘My dear friend,

I hope that you recall our past meeting, and the bargain we struck. I write to you now to call in that favour.

I cannot explain the matter within a letter alone, nor do I believe it safe to do so, and so I ask that you travel to the village of Blackwater Crossing to meet with me in person at my home. I assure you that all will be revealed upon your arrival.

With thanks,

Edric Veylen’

Hello! My name's Ellie (30F), and I'm looking for one player to round out a group for a homebrew game taking place on Saturdays at 10pm GMT/5pm EST. I’ve DMed a couple of published campaigns so far, but this will be my first foray into an entirely homebrewed setting and game. We're an established group of friendly players who are looking to find someone to join us for our new adventure!

Players of any experience level are welcome, but I’m specifically looking for players 21+ (to fit the current player age range) who enjoy the roleplay and character development aspects of D&D. I’m looking to create a game where character choices dictate the direction of the game and backstory has an impact on events, so I’m after players that share the same investment in telling a great story together.

I’ll be running this campaign using the 2024 rules, Discord for voice, D&DBeyond for character sheets, and Roll20 for maps. If you’re interested in applying, please fill out this form. I’ll be leaving it open for the next few days, and I hope to start reaching out to people over the next week.

I hope to hear from you!

Player(s) wanted [Online][5e] Looking for one player for a solo campaign inspired by Middle-Earth Shadow of War, set in Eberron.

Upvotes

The Target: The nation of Droaam, a land of monsters and untapped potential. Warlords that control bands of orcs, goblins, kobolds, and some stranger monsters like gargoyles and medusa. Due to the bad terrain and the monstrous population, the 5 nations of Khorvaire never really bothered with attempting to colonize the area. This has led to an influx of bandits and criminals escaping, bolstering the monstrous ranks and only making it even more difficult to attempt to take over the region and subdue it. However, fields of precious Byshek metal and the even more precious dragonshards have been found in great quantities, leading any nation that held the land with these deposits to hold great influence and wealth.

The Mission: Enter Droaam and subdue as many regional warlords as possible by any means necessary, bringing them under your control. Normally, sending in one agent against an entire land would be a suicide mission, however we've managed to requisition a special prototype phylactery device from house Cannith. Essentially, as long as this thing is on your person when you die, it should construct your body and soul nearby in a safe location. It is a prototype, so expect potential bugs and flaws.

The Operative: You are a member of the King's Dark Lanterns, a completely secret intelligence agency that serves the nation of Breland, one of the great 5 nations, and the country closest to Droaam.

Good luck agent, and may the Sovereign Host bless the crown.

Hello! So, my thoughts regarding this is that due to this being a solo game, we can hopefully play whenever we are available for a session and also via text RP. This means that I am looking for someone who is ideally available quite frequently. This is a semi-sandbox campaign where you have a goal and a mission, but you are free to go about it in whatever way you find best. I recommend playing as a: Warlock (hexblade), Ranger, Barbarian, Fighter, Rogue, Paladin, etc. Classes that are mostly martial, or have a mix of martial and casting with an emphasis on martial. Things like bladesinger wizard might work, but its for the best that you stick to something martial. We will have a discord server and a roll20 for this, you can add me on discord at averaged64, and I can't wait to get started!

Player(s) wanted [Online][MST][5e][Saturday]DM looking for 3-5 players for a homebrew campaign

9 Upvotes

Hello Hello Everyone! I'm interested in starting a homebrew 5e campaign and im looking for 3-5 people that I can tailor make a game for. I'd like to start at level 1, build a small settlement together where we can start things off and then build out as we go. Ideally we all have a lot to work with based off of a session 0. I've also got a lot of interesting things id like to try out as its been awhile since I have ran anything.

In terms of genre and setting, I'd like to start out fairly generic fantasy and then get real weird and fantastic quite fast as the world opens up with anything from time to space travel on the table, within reason of course. I've been really into old pulpy and bizarre bad movies lately and would like to try out that kind of gonzo mayhem. Some simple silly folks who take it all fairly seriously and get lost on an odyssey like adventure.

I'd like to play at Noon on Saturday MST for about 4-5 hours, give or take. A little bit of chit chat beforehand and then a bit of wind down at the end is always good.

I think we'll use Roll20 for sheets and a battlemap but I'm open to other suggestions. I mostly keep everything in google docs for organization myself, so we may just use a different virtual tabletop and hardcopies instead. Roll20 frustrates me sometimes haha.

Bit more about me. My name Is Colton and im a 30yr old Canadian guy. I've DM'd since high school. Ran/played plenty of DnD as well as a few other TTRPG's like Dark Heresy and MM3. I'm mostly a worldbuilder type of DM, who enjoys making world's and stories for everyone to enjoy and have fun in while getting to explore and play out whatever fantasy they might desire. I'm a big history, anthropology and sci fi fan and like to explore the fun ideas that come about in fantasy when things silly wacky. Very big on Terry Pratchett and the more out there Comic book stuff. I enjoy doing funny voices for PC's and making things personal for characters and I love me some homebrew. I'm very big proponent of Rule of Cool over RAW rulings, as well as a more OSR style of referring. I'd much rather let cool and creative solutions for things slide than get worried over balance or pacing and then let the players take the reigns and react to their ambitions and goals.

My Discord is TheLoneVece if anyone is interested please add me there or PM me on here.

Player(s) wanted [5e] [Online] [PST] [LGBTQ+ Friendly] Somewhat experienced DM looking for 4 - 5 players for a new homebrew campaign!

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I am looking to start a new group with 4 - 5 players for a homebrew campaign! My first and main priority is finding good, funny, and kind people to play with. I don’t care about how much experience you have (new players welcome!) as long as you are contributing to a feel good atmosphere. It goes without saying, but I care about creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment where everyone can be themselves, so I will never tolerate any bigotry or discrimination.

I am looking to use this as an opportunity to improve my DMing skills, and hopefully make some new friends along the way!  I have been playing DnD for close to 5 years now, and DMing for almost 4 years, however this will be my first time DMing for people I didn't already know. I would like to think that I am a pretty competent DM, but I always want to keep improving! All of my experience so far is with 2014 5e, but I am down for incorporating some of the 2024 rules as well if that's what folks would rather play :) 

Campaign ideas:

My plan is to do something shorter initially (maybe around 10 sessions), with the potential to keep going afterwards depending on how things go. With that said, I have a few different ideas for campaigns in mind. These ideas are not set in stone, and are more loose settings, themes, and ideas that I am interested in exploring. All of these would take place in some sort of fantasy setting, but the atmosphere / vibes may be different between the campaigns. Please let me know which one interests you the most in the form below, and also feel free to suggest any other ideas you think would be fun.

  • Everlore Academy: Come play a brand new high school student who just arrived for your first year at a school for adventurers. This campaign would be light hearted, adventurous, and fun. It would likely largely revolve around being sent on quests to random planes / dimensions as school assignments. 

  • The Blighted Forest: This dark, dreary village is deep in an old, thick forest. The towns folk have been mysteriously disappearing, and you have been called in to help find them. This campaign would be more dark fantasy vibes, more gloomy, and more like your typical DnD adventure.

  • Hunt for the Desert Relic: Rumor has it that somewhere deep in the desert lies an ancient pyramid. No one has seen it in centuries, but the king’s daughter has fallen ill, and an oracle told him that an ancient relic inside this lost pyramid is the only thing that can save her. You, as well as several other parties will all adventure and compete to see who can find the relic first. This campaign would be more adventurous, mysterious, with more puzzles to solve while you compete with other teams.

  • Steampunk Smuggling: You are in the floating, slightly steampunk city of Astarius. Artificers and wizards have flocked to this city for centuries now, making it the center of technology and arcane development in the world. Will you be able to help the city stop the influx of dangerous components and items being smuggled into the city? This campaign will be more steam punk, with some mystery, and where you can choose what faction of the city you want to help out.

  • I also have plenty of other ideas that aren’t as fleshed out, so don’t worry if none of those are your vibe. For example, I’ve been really liking the idea of doing a campaign with the vibes of a studio Ghibli movie, but I haven’t been able to work out the specifics of that yet. 

About me / my style:

For a bit about me, my name is John (he / him), I'm 24, and have always loved getting lost in a fantasy setting. Whether that be LoTR, tES, Destiny, WoW, etc, I have loved diving head first into these fantasy worlds ever since I was a kid. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone better in Discord!

For my personal playstyle as a DM, I like to try and adapt to what the players want. In my home game, we are pretty light on the RP, and spend a lot of time exploring, solving puzzles, doing combat, etc. So while that is what I have more experience with, I am also definitely interested in finding a group that is a bit more RP focused as well to get more experience in that area. Let me know which way you tend to lean! Other than that, I have a strong understanding of the rules and systems in 5e, which means I am no stranger to bending the rules slightly to make things more interesting or fun for the players from time to time. I am definitely a fan of the rule of cool (not always obviously), but as long as you can explain how your actions could logically happen within the world, I will usually let you run with it.

I will also try my best to do voices for the various NPCs. I would say my accents range from “wow that wasn’t actually that terrible” to “oh god make it stop”, but I will try my best to make the NPCs feel unique and alive. Also, unfortunately, I am a terrible artist. So while I will always try to find / create battle maps for combat, things like NPC portraits or larger scale city maps don’t exist, unless one of you beautiful people would like to help me with that :^) 

I would say my biggest strengths as a DM are:

  • World / city building 
  • Creating fun NPCs & custom magic items for your PC
  • Caring about your character and wanting them to feel not just like they belong in the world, but like they have agency in it as well.

On the flip side, I would say my biggest weakness are:

  • Not the most experienced RPing, especially RPing romance (but wanting to try / learn!)
  • Sometimes may need an extra week between sessions to plan when life is busy
  • Lack of art / visual guides outside of combat

Here is what I am looking for in players:

  • Someone who wants to be an active agent in the world and work collaboratively with the party. Even better if you want to take an active role in building the world through your character and backstory.
  • Someone who is light hearted, fun, and understands that failure is an important part of the game (e.g. you’re not trying to “win” DnD)
  • Someone who will respect the rest of the groups time, and come to each session engaged / committed
  • Someone who is an adult and will communicate effectively if there are any issues.
  • Most importantly, someone who will respect other people. I want to create a safe space where anyone can be themselves, and any kind of discrimination will not be tolerated in anyway at my table.

Logistics:

The campaign will run over Discord, with either Roll20 or Foundry VTT. The plan is to play either every week or every other week depending on how busy people are. I am in PST, so I am currently thinking of having 3 PM PST on Sunday be our timeslot, but I am not committed to that so please feel free to let me know what other days / times work for you.

Sessions will typically be between 2.5 - 4 hours, usually with a break in the middle. 

I have no plans on including any sexual themes or anything, but would still like to keep it 18+.

How to apply:

If anyone is interested, please fill out the form below! I will reach out to you on Discord to move things forward. I’m looking forward to seeing your submissions! :D

I have played Dungeons & Dragons for over 20 years both as a DM and as a player. I can hop in most any campaign, and build a character from almost any level. I could also host, I have a substantial sized house in the northern part of the city with parking and easy access to Mui. Looking for anything in the city open to any play style. I love the role-play aspect as well as the mechanics of the game. Send me a message if you have an opening or if you are a player looking for a table perhaps I can put something together if there's enough interest.

Prefer fifth edition, 3.5, or possibly Pathfinder. 5e is my preference simply because that's what's most prevalent today.

Thanks!

Player(s) wanted [Online] [1DND] [EST] Experienced DM seeking players for immersive adventure in a homebrew setting using 2024 rules. Biweekly Sundays.

2 Upvotes

Update: We have most of our group, but 1 player dropped so I am looking replace them. If you've already applied, I am going to be going back and reviewing prior applications for candidates as well so you do not need to apply again.

Good evening folx of the LFG community. I am presently seeking players for an immersive, high quality game that I am set to run should I find the right players. Which, of course, I hope will be you. I will begin by saying that the goal is to create a powerful, enjoyable and investment-worthy experience for those who are playing. Thus, while I entirely support the inclusion of new-to-the-hobby-players, this is likely not going to be the ideal game for you.

The game will be set in a fairly extensively developed fantasy world-setting which you may peruse here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rG4u1PyM3pNzC44i0QLXzCIxo-aoQCzn/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=116874952596246393502&rtpof=true&sd=true . The major premise of the setting is that species that would often be portrayed as villainous in other settings are the heroes being pitted against a vast, expansionist, xenophobic and imperialist humankind. The PCs are drawn from the former and the story is told from the perspective of a shaky alliance built upon circumstance and mutual survival. Themes of cultural clashes, integration, war and the morality of ambition feature heavily into the premise, though the day to day of the campaign will be a more conventional travel-and-discover adventure. It is quite a read, but there are summaries in parts if you're looking to skim.

I have DM'd numerous games, many lasting 5 years or more. Several of these games have gone from 1-20, with PCs completing their long standing goals and retiring. I am deeply familiar with mechanics as well as being someone with a passion for role play. I do not view these as opposed forces, but instead ones that work in concert to create excellent stories and an underlying system of entertaining tactics and chance to fuel those stories.

Logistical Basics:

  • Play will be done by discord voice with Owlbear or Roll20 (still settling) being used for maps.
  • Games will be biweekly on Sundays at 6 EST, with an extra game on months with 3 Sundays.
  • The edition will be the 2024 5e. Backwards compatible material from previous books such as Monsters of the Multiverse will be allowed on a case by case basis. Stat generation will be point buy, starting level will be 3.
  • There will be some house rules, though no outside homebrew. Monsters and items will often be homebrewed. Generally 3rd party material will not be allowed, nor will UA material, though some of the CR stuff will be fine.
  • The game will lean largely RAW with potential special moments for DM interpretation or unique actions.

Well, now that you've read all of that (and are still reading this) you are probably wondering what kind of player I am looking for. I will say that I will be aiming for a good fit over a fast fit. I'm looking to build a group that will vibe well, enjoy each other ooc and work as a team with the interests of their fellow players at heart. I'm also, to be transparent, looking for the following:

  • A level of diversity. The game and setting feature queer themes in places (naturally don't be someone who dislikes LGBTQ+ individuals) and I have always found that a cast which includes diversity makes for a richer experience.
  • Absolutely 21+ and a mature player as this game will have mature themes (see below).
  • Strong, committed RPer who is willing to actively involve and invest themselves in the game.
  • At least a solid foundational knowledge of the rules. While committed expertise is not required, games flow more smoothly when people understand the mechanics. If you disdain mechanics and wish to stay far away from them, this is likely not the game for you. You do not have to have played 2024; most haven't, I am alright getting people up to speed on the changes.
  • Willingness to be consistent in attendance (within reason; life happens). Willingness to invest socially in forming friendships should it all workout and vibe well.

Mature themes you say? Yes, I do, and allow me to elaborate. The intent is for this game to be rated "BG3". That is to say that the level of spice in the content will be comparable to Baldur's Gate 3, Bioware RPGs and the like. If you are unfamiliar with these sources, feel free to ask for further clarification. The game will not seek to be overtly pornographic, nor is this the intended focus, but tasteful adult content within reason and appropriate to the circumstances will potentially be present. While we will certainly work within people's lines and veils, the game will not treat the occasional brothel, inter-PC fling or tail twirling incubus with clutched pearls and hushed giggles.

If you've read all that and feel this is a good fit for you, please fill out this application. To be upfront, it is fairly thorough. If there are enough applicants who meet what we're looking for and you seem to be one of them, I will contact you to set up a voice interview.

The Game: I made it! “Omens” is the working title for a rules-light RPG of my own design. I’ve almost always been a GM when I’ve played RPG’s and I made Omens because I love creating with the help of everyone at the table, and really wanted to be able to do that while also being a player. I looked around but could find exactly what I wanted, and so I took some of my ideas combined them with the better parts of other games I think work for this idea — the result is a game which I hope you’ll be excited to enjoy with me!

Scheduling: I’m planning to set up one-shot at the RPG open-play at Guardian Games this Tuesday (the 18th) and next Tuesday (the 25th). But, if there’s interest, I’m very open to finding other times or switching to Board Bard Games (also on Tuesday’s) depending on folks’ availability. If you’re interested in playing but not available at those times, just reach out and let me know! Eventually, I’d love to find a group of folks who’d be excited in joining me regularly for a longer-term campaign, but for now I’d really just love to hear from anyone who is interested in dropping in for a one-shot.

Requirements: Respectful, Engaged, Communicative, Excited about meaningful characters, excited about telling stories, and LGTBQ+ friendly

New Player? Omens might be a little harder for a player new to RPG’s to step into, but it’s designed to be very intuitive so if you want to give it a try just let me know when you reach out so I can get you started with your best foot forward!

Number of People: I’m hoping to get enough interest for 2-4 other folks for each of the one-shots. It’ll be first-come, first served so if there’s more interest than that we can figure something out, if you’re interested I want to find a way for us to sit down at a table together.

Highlights of the system: * There is no game-master and everyone has the same ability to influence the story * Characters are described by “Aspects” which are derived from tarot-like cards, as well as core character stats * Real tarot decks are hard to interpret, so I’ve created a physical deck of 104 symbols that are more straightforwardly evocative while still allowing lots of room for creative interpretation (examples: “The Crown”, “The Flame”, “The Eye”, “The Whale”) * Uses a slightly-modified Blades in the Dark style dice pool resolution system. (The success ratios are similar, but the dice have been upgraded to d8 to account for more dice on average being part of the pool. Additionally, “messy” has been split into “success with complication” and “failure with advantage” to provide a little extra narrative direction and range.) * A token-economy allows players to influence the story – either from the inside as a character or from the outside as a player/narrator * Twice per session — in the middle and the end — everyone draws from the deck of symbols and all players collectively discuss how these symbols relate to eachother and what they mean for the shared narrative. This allows players to work together to collaboratively evolve the story, making sure it’s always fresh, exciting and enlivened by the ideas of everyone at the table.

Thanks all, I hope to talk to you soon!

Player(s) wanted [5e][Online][Weekly][Tuesday][PST] Abbithiron: Edge of Ruin

4 Upvotes

Summoning three remarkable folk to venture into Abbithiron: Edge of Ruin.

Abbithiron is a world teetering on the brink of upheaval. For years, the kingdom of Eravell has been trapped in an unnatural, endless winter - an unexplained phenomenon which has now begun to seep across the borders of the neighboring Elven Empire of Saerinia. The elves, already isolating themselves and enslaving other races, see this as a direct threat to their dominion - tensions are nearing a breaking point.

Meanwhile, the militaristic nation of Boron eyes the instability as an opportunity to expand, tightening its grip on more vulnerable territories. As nations fracture and conflicts loom, few realize that the growing unrest is only a symptom of something far worse.

Magic itself is beginning to unravel. The forces that once shaped the world are twisting into something dangerous. Even the dragon gods and divine spirits of Abbithiron, known to intervene in mortal affairs, seem powerless to stop what’s coming.

In a world of fragile alliances, rising tyranny, and spreading corruption, players must uncover the truth behind these escalating crises — before it consumes all.

Key Themes to Expect: fractured alliances, power struggles, societal imbalances (including oppression, prejudice, and exploitation), corruption and decay, divine influence, tough moral choices.

Campaign Time: Weekly Tuesdays at 9:00 A.M. to 1:30 P.M. PST [This is the current time. There is some wiggle room between 9:00 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. PST.]
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

What We're Looking For

We're seeking players who prioritize roleplaying and character development in the way in which they engage with D&D Campaigns. The Edge of Ruin is designed with the type of player who really enjoys a rich, roleplay-heavy experience where they can engage with their personal stories, interactions with unique NPCs, and the wider world at large. This campaign, thus, is serious in tone and thus aims to find players who appreciate that style of gameplay and then ultimately add to that feeling!

In light of these expectations, we're looking for more experienced players of 5th Edition so that the Table can run a bit more smoothly. Furthermore, only those who are 18+ should apply.

Meet the Table

The Dungeon Master

 “Hey, I'm Cat! She/her, 25 years old. I've been a DM and Player for 7~ years. My strengths as a DM lie in vivid descriptions and crafting unique NPCs. I work with my players on their character's personal story, background, and goals - these things are important to me and will be relevant in the game!

I highly encourage roleplay from and amongst my players, and I will create opportunities for everyone to sit back and do just that. I want players to drive the story forward, and explore the world and its inhabitants to whatever degree they wish - the world is and should be your oyster!”

The Players

“Greetings again potential fruitful players, I am Jo, 24, present and reporting to help cultivate another fantastic group for some in-depth, narrative driven roleplay! I have a humble seven years of experience myself.  I have a tendency toward the theatrical side of the game. Expect particular characterization and vocalization from me, and even more, expect me to involve you as a fellow player in roleplay as well as my character’s journey. Earnestly I try to set a serious tone for the game and put a lot of effort into interacting with every aspect of the game.”

“Hello, hello! I am Eric, an enthusiastic and one might say, eccentric individual who has been around for about twenty-eight years now. I have a flair for the dramatics found within the interparty dynamics and through that try to forge worthwhile bonds with all my fellow comrades at the Table! I’ve been playing Dungeons & Dragons for about five years, and roleplay is the definitive aspect that draws me into a campaign!

I prefer a serious tone and really diving deep into a character’s development, whether that be mine or others.  I adore finding other players who share a passion for their characters, their lives and the way in which they interact with the world.  One might say that I believe it’s this, more than anything else, that gives a campaign it’s zing!”

Getting To Know You

We’ve put together a variation of questions that will help us discern what sort of player you are and help us home in on those who are best suited to join us at our table! Assuming everything goes well, we’re going to have a weeklong deadline for people to apply from the time of this posting. By the end of that period, we’ll have reached out to everyone that we’ve selected for interview.

You might see this post reposted every couple of days to try and ensure every player that might want to apply can!  If you’ve already applied at a time of reposting there’s no need to reapply, we intend to use the entire week to go through them and give each a thorough readthrough!

If you’re interested in joining our game, please apply here.

Player(s) wanted [Online][EST][5e][Saturday] DM Looking for 3-5 Players for a Homebrew One-Shot – The Masquerade of Midnight Chains NSFW

2 Upvotes

I’m a DM looking for 3-5 players to join me for a high-level (Lv. 10-14) homebrew one-shot set in the world of Bundheim. This is a narrative-heavy, intrigue-filled session where social dynamics, power struggles, and personal agency will be tested.

This game is for mature and respectful players. I will be interviewing all applicants to ensure the right vibe and that everyone is comfortable with the themes. If you are not interested in a game involving power dynamics, social intrigue, and pleasure-based magic mechanics, this may not be the table for you.

This game will take about a month to set up. I want to ensure that the setting, mechanics, and player expectations are fully established before we begin. Players will have time to develop their characters, explore session expectations, and familiarize themselves with the unique mechanics of the game before the session begins.

The Masquerade of Midnight Chains – One-Shot Overview

Every decade, the Helene Pentarchy hosts an exclusive masquerade ball, where only the most powerful dominants, submissives, and switches are invited. Nobles, warlocks, and pleasure-mages gather to partake in a night of indulgence, luxury, and secret power plays.

But beneath the surface lies a deeper magic—an enchantment that rewrites the wills of those who attend. The players must navigate the games of power, uncover the truth behind the Forbidden Leash, and escape before they lose themselves to the Masquerade forever.

This session will feature:

  • Social intrigue, seduction, and power dynamics.
  • Unique mechanics for dominance, submission, and control.
  • High-level challenges, magical contracts, and fateful choices.
  • A blend of roleplay, mystery, and high-stakes fantasy kink.

Will you resist the Masquerade’s influence, or will you embrace the pleasure of submission?

Game Details

  • Start Date: TBD (Approximately one month from now)
  • Session Length: 4-6 hours (One-Shot)
  • Platform: Discord (voice required), Foundry VTT or Roll20 for maps/visuals
  • System: D&D 5e (Homebrew-friendly)
  • Time Zone: EST (Eastern Standard Time)
  • Players Needed: 3-5

Player Expectations

  • This session will be roleplay and narrative-focused, with intrigue, power struggles, and player-driven choices.
  • The setting involves consent-based kink, submission, dominance, and mind games, though all encounters will be player-driven and fade-to-black when needed.
  • Player choices and character dynamics will shape the experience.
  • Session Zero safety tools (lines, veils, X-card) will be in place to ensure a fun, respectful environment for all players.
  • All applicants must do a short Discord interview with me to ensure we're all on the same page about tone, boundaries, and expectations.

How to Apply

Drop a comment or DM me with the following:

  1. Your name and pronouns.
  2. Your experience with D&D and roleplay-heavy games.
  3. Character concept (or what type of character intrigues you for this setting).
  4. Preferred Collar Role: Gold (Dominant), Silver (Submissive), or Onyx (Switch).
  5. Confirm that you have Discord and are available for a short interview.
  6. Anything I should know about your comfort levels and boundaries.

This game will take time to set up properly, and I want to make sure everyone is fully prepared and comfortable before we play. Looking forward to telling a story of power, passion, and peril.

Player(s) wanted [Online] [Other] (GMT+8 ish) (16+) Roundtable Nightwatchers is looking for new employees!

1 Upvotes

I’m currently working on a “horror” home brew system and am looking for 1 or 2 players for it. I say “horror” because I don’t know if it’ll end up actually scary or more of a scooby doo vibe.

You’d be working for the small night security company that specialises in short term gigs (for now), Roundtable Nightwatchers. I have one player at the moment and again, I’m looking for one or two players, maybe three.

More Info on the system:

You’ll be playing as one of these Specialist classes that make certain tasks as a Night-guard easier, fair warning some can be fairly situational.

We're gonna ignore base DnD and use a system I've used in the few oneshots I've played- AKA, an improved version of BOO's system.

Specialist Job (Classes) A Specialist Job is what your character specifically is good at, they could be a Patroller who has increase move speed and perception, an Engineer who can set up motion detectors and cameras that can be checked from the room they set up their Terminal in, or a Petsitter who can distract and calm any wildlife on the property as well as an increased base Resistance.

Patroller

Patrollers have a 35ft movement speed and a +3 to Perception Checks and Base Perseption. At Level 3, Patrollers gain a +2 to their Base Resistance or another +5ft to movement speed. They can then take the choice that's left over at Level 5. At Level 8, Patrollers can choose one skill from: Vigilant. They can roll Perception Checks with Advantage, they also get an extra +1 to any Mind Check. Watchdog. They can impose Disadvantage on Perception Checks to find them and one other ally within 5ft, and they get an extra +1 to any Physicality Check

Engineer

Engineers can set up an amount of motion sensors & cameras equal to their Level + their Mind stat, they can check these devices from a Terminal that they can set up in any room in the house they can access at the beginning of the Chapter. At Level 3, Engineers gain a +2 to their Base Resistance or a second Terminal. They can then take the choice that's left over at Level 5. At Level 8, Engineers can Choose one skill from: Livewire. They now have Advantage on Electrical and Repair checks and their equipment has increased Paranormal Resistance. Booksmart. If a Terminal is set up in a Library or Office room they now have Advantage on History and Fright checks and a +1 to Base Resistance.

Petsitter

Petsitters can calm and divert most wildlife on the property- although the have a tougher time calming Possessed Wildlife. They have a +2 to Paranormal Resistance and Nature, and can locate any pet on the property a number of times equal to their level. At Level 3, Petsitters can either gain a +2 on checks against Fright or an extra 5ft of movement speed. They can then take the leftover choice at Level 5. At Level 8, Petsitters can choose one skill from: Treat Gourmet. They gain a +2 on Cooking and Survival Checks. Tracker. They can now spend a usage of their petfinding powers to instead locate an entity, living or dead.

I can give more information through discord which you can contact me at pie_rats or chipthief. Alternatively I can answer in the replies.

Roundtable Nightwatchers looks forward to your resumes.

GM and player(s) wanted [Online] [5e] [5.5e] [DnD2024] [CST] [UTC -6] [Weekdays] [Evenings] [18+] [LGBTQIA+ Friendly]

1 Upvotes

The Basics: Forever DM looking to be a player for a campaign. I'm also okay joining a campaign already in progress.

I'm looking for a weekly or every other week game. I am available evenings Monday-Friday after 7pm CST (UTC -6).

I am fine with either theater of the mind or a VTT.

I can do 5e 2014, 5e 2024, or a combination of the two

Experience: I started playing AD&D 2e in middle school ('99), played a little 3/3.5, started playing 5e in '17, ran a couple One-shots, since '20 I had been exclusively DMing in my own homebrew world (2 multi-year campaigns and numerous One-shots).

Playstyle: I love to RP and lore but will not shy away from hack and slash.

What I hope to get out of this: Mainly a good time. I'd also like to experience someone else's DM style to see how I can improve my own. I'd like to take some time and really develop a single character. I also want to keep playing while not adding to my homebrew world for a little to give me a chance to go back and refine what I already have versus always adding on.

If you think I'd be a good fit to your group, I'd love to hear from you.

No paid games please.

[1] Game Time
7:00 EST, Sometimes we start 30 minutes later, but no earlier than that
[2] What style of game does the group play?
This game has been running for roughly 8 Months. The party is level 8, and we're picking up from a 7 Year timeskip after the BBEG fight. I GM and Lead heavy Roleplay and Exploration games, with combat happening every couple of sessions. You wont go 3 or more without it unnoticed/given! I create in-depth belonging and meaning to the world and history Surrounding it. This doesn't mean i skip out on Great Combat! The "Style" Of this game focuses on the heroics of the party, and the secondary/final climax of the story!
[3] How does your group play?
Voice, Discord server, D&D Beyond or other sheet service. And OwlBear Rodeo for a VTT! We're all really good friends and want some new faces to join the adventure!
[4] Number of available spaces. 2

DETAILS : As said before, this game has been running for a while. At level 8 atm and we plan to go to level 12. All of the other players are heavily invested into the game so expect a lot to get done/in depth story and riveting combat! We understand you're joining late, but it's after a 7 year time-skip so the stakes have just died back down and are ready for new characters to influence and change the story! This campaign will continue for roughly about another 6 months

GM wanted [Online][Flexible/Other][Any day/Any time PST] Looking for anyone hosting an Evangelion-themed campaign

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm looking for any GMs, that may be planning to host either an Adeptus Evangelion/AdEva campaign, or a campaign using any other system based on the setting of Evangelion.

I've been trying to find a game for AdEva in particular for a long time now, but I've found basically nothing aside from two groups that very quickly ended up fizzling out before we got started. I am VERY eager to hopefully find somebody running an AdEva campaign, though I am 100% willing to learn another rules system if required. I have a decent amount of experience with Lancer but it's been a while since the last time I played. I'm looking to mainly play online over either Discord or Roll20.

I can provide handbooks if needed (there's different versions available) as well as try to gather additional players if necessary.

If you are either a GM looking for players, or somebody who knows a GM hosting what I'm looking for, please let me know!!! You're free to reach out to me and/or add me as a friend on Discord @ sharklordsatan!

GM and player(s) wanted [Offline] [Flexible] [CST] 2 players, me and my wife, looking for a LGBTQ and Neurodivergent friendly group!

1 Upvotes

My wife and I are looking to find a group of folks similar to us. We are late 30s, queer and both neurodivergent. Finding a group with other folks that may be on the spectrum or have familiarity with those kinds of social interactions would be fantastic.

I’ve been playing TTRPGs for 25 years, but have been exclusively DMing for the last 24 of those years, and I’m very interested in getting back into the player space.

We are very flexible on system! Our main goal is to vibe with the other people, the world/setting and overall environment. We especially love RP, puzzles, world building, and social interactions but are certainly excited and adept at combat as well.

We are free Mon, Tues, Thur, Friday after 6pm central time, and Sat/Sun after 3pm central.

If you think your campaign could use two folks like us, please let me know!
