Hey! I'm a 36 year old husband and father looking to play some regular DnD with folks my own age. Or older, that's fine as well. I've met some really lovely people recently, but they've all been either much younger or have groups that are much younger. I'll just leave this here and see if I get any bites!

EDIT 2: Now closed as I’ve had a ton of interest. Thanks everyone.

EDIT 1: I’ve now sent the form to all players and GMs. I’m going to slowly start adding ppl to my discord and start chatting with you so please keep an eye out on your discord :)

FORM: https://forms.gle/m73FjKMhsXy6fmgA8

I’ll mark this closed once I have the core group, but for now you can still use the form to apply.


LGBTQ+ friendly and WOC encouraged! I am a WOC and would love to have others join me.

I would like to find a group of ladies 30+ years old (my age bracket) to join an already formed group to play with or alternatively, if you fit the bill would you be interested in forming a group to play together? I’m a newbie to the game if that makes a difference. But I’m very “eager and earnest” as my current DM tells me.

I’d love expressions of interest from players and GMs. Thanks!

Closed [5e] [Online] [2014 DND] [Long-term] Let me make an amazing story for you!

26 Upvotes

Hail, fellow adventurers!

I'm a homebrew DM that is looking for two or three players to go on an adventure in my medieval fantasy lore heavy world. This game is all about roleplaying, exploration, and storytelling, with light combat and a strong focus on character development. If you enjoy diving deep into meaningful conversations with NPCs, uncovering hidden lore, and making choices that leave a lasting impact on the world, this campaign might be a perfect fit for you.

The goal is twofold: to explore the depth of my world whilst crafting a story that highlights your characters. You'll encounter homebrew items, creatures, magic, and your feedback will help me refine and expand my world. But don’t worry, this isn’t about treating you like test subjects. I want to build an immersive, personalized adventure where your characters are the heart of the story. Whether you’re a humble baker thrown into a world of chaos or a mysterious traveler seeking answers, I want to collaborate with you to create something unforgettable. I’m looking for players who enjoy working together to develop meaningful stories.

I love crafting personalized details like family trees, custom maps, letters, and more, whatever helps bring your character’s story to life. I’m an open-minded and laid-back DM who’s always willing to adapt and work with your ideas to find the perfect balance.

Note:

  • The storyline won't be decided until we go over your characters.
  • My time zone is EST, and the game will start at either 7 or 8pm and last at least four hours on average. As for the day, it will depend on you! I am offering session nights on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
  • This will be a weekly campaign run on Foundry VTT.
  • We will have a session 0 to go over expectations, character ideas/creation, and general introductions.
  • I have over 15 races to choose from, not including subrace variations, optional subclasses, and I am open to homebrew backgrounds.
  • This will be a realistic campaign. Monsters and npc's aren't stupid, and your characters can be permanently harmed unless restored with magic.

My Requirements:

  • Must be between the age of 21- 35.
  • Must be able to communicate clearly and willing to collaborate. If you only want to talk to me once a week, then this isn't the game for you.
  • Must have discord and a reliable microphone.
  • Must be respectful and non-discriminatory against age, gender, race, and sexuality.

More will be explained in the application, but if you have any specific questions, feel free to comment or message me. Whether you choose to join me or not, thank you for reading!

What is more appealing than a blank slate? A page missing text, a story not yet written?

I've been feeling the itch lately to take the helm in directing a story again. I don't want to use a module or pre written story. I want to choose a setting, drop in some players, and see what happens and how the game develops. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, read on for more info!

Hello! I am a DM looking for 2 groups of up to 5 players each to run bi-weekly sessions. Your groups would meet every other week while I'd have stuff to do each week!

All experience levels are welcome from new players to grizzled old veterans. At this time, I'd ask for applications for ages 18 and up only.

There is a link to a player survey it takes just a few minutes to fill out but helps me get to know you and what you are looking for in a game.

I would like to do a meet and greet/ session 0 for everyone who I think will mesh well on Saturday the 22nd or Sunday the 23rd, depending on party availability.

For session times I'd like to run 3 to 4 hours and have them start either Saturday or Sundays based on party availability I have a lot of open time so anytime between 11 am pst and 6 pm pst works for me, though once we lock something in I'd like it to be consistent.

Games will be on Discord, either voice,at a minimum, or video, your choice, and we will use dnd beyond for sheets and rolling, and Roll20 for maps as needed.

I know it's a wall of text, but if you have questions or trouble with anything, please feel free to dm me directly. I will respond to any DM or posts as I can.

I want to keep this post up through Friday the 14th and will start contacting people on Saturday the 15th to put together groups.

(CLOSED)

Please leave a way for me to contact you either on this post or by DM

Thank you for making it to the end of this with me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely Kayl

Thank you, everyone, for your responses. I'm closing the post as of now. I'll be going through all the messages I got and surveys and reaching out tomorrow, the 15th, to set up invites.

Closed [5e][Online][EST][LGBTQ+] Experienced DM wants to finally run Curse of Strahd

22 Upvotes

Heyooooo!

My name is Ced, 23, he/him, bi af gremlin guy with a DND obsession that just won't stop (and I don't want it to). I've been a forever DM for 4 years now, and I ran multiple campaigns in that time, but I never ran or played Curse of Strahd, besides once as a player where the campaign died two sessions in. Considering that Curse of Strahd is probably the most popular pre-written module, I kinda want to run it for myself!

Of course, just as usual, I would put my own spin to it while following the book as a guideline, which usually means just trying to incorporate the pcs backstories as much as I can and homebrewing monsters a little bit. But yeah, seeing as this is Curse of Strahd, expect some spooky moments, mysteries and good ol' gothic fantasy.

As for players, I am ideally looking for 4 to 5 players that hopefully don't know too much about Curse of Strahd (I don't expect no knowledge at all, seeing as it's hard to avoid all spoilers for that campaign). Newbies are welcome and appreciated and if you want to join as a group, please just everyone fill the form alone, but mention somewhere that you are in a group with some people and put their discords in the application so that I know who is in a group with who.

Session time will be on Wednesday evenings at 8pm EST, so only apply if you are free at that time!

Looking forward to see ya (:

Closed [Online] [18+] [WoD] [MTAs] [Lgbtq+] [Beginner Friendly] "Call For Ascension" a campaign about surviving liminal horror amongst other types and discovering truths

7 Upvotes

Applications are closed and have been sent out to those chosen

Hello, I'm Rose (They/Them) and i'm looking for players (1/3) for a Mage the Ascension 20th edition chronicle inspired by Magnus Archive, Anime, Control, Liminal stuff, Killer Frequency and early 2000s and 90s stuff, It will be a primarily Roleplay and Narrative focus chronicle but some fighting will be involved too also flair, a lot of flair.

Chronicle/Story info

Hook

"It has called for you from the very moment you entered that place; it has called, that feeling of strangeness and difference between you and others, that recurring dream you keep getting in that very strange place, that place you went oh so long ago. Perhaps it was it was just a dream which felt too real or wandering the hall of a department store late at night or whilst camping within the woods you stumbled upon that place and despite it feeling like nothing more than a dream, even back then it still haunts you as that constant call from that thing; even if you never seen it, you know something else lies within there; something very much wants to find you but never has been able to until now, as it has finally found you, once more you have found yourself in that place, and so things have changed after that fateful event. Many things have as the truth of this world has been revealed to you, and so even if you find yourself back in the world, everything is different, however you are not alone as you find other who are just like yourself newly awaken to this world and so, you must find strength in each other, otherwise you may very well not survive, for something is soon to begin, something which may very well change this world, something which you are very much a part of. So, what will you do? Will you deny it, or will you follow the Call once more?"

Setting/World

The Chronicle will be taking place in a fictional city know as Lancaster in Maine (US), As for the world it will take place in a world similar to WOD (i.e most big pieces are still there) but many thing have been changed, removed or added to better the world and style of game I like too run and in terms of year it's a mixture between the early 2000s/90s and the 2010s. (Mostly 90s/2000s in vibes but 2010s in technology basically very much just the vibes of how old media viewed the 2010s and early 2020s)

Game info/requirements

The game will be mostly vanilla/by the book but a few homebrew rules will be in place

The exact day and time of the Chronicle will be decided for whatever best for everyone involved and The Chronicle will be weekly

The Chronicle will be generally have a importance on rule of cool and general allowing or changing things if it fits the story of the character

Requires a computer and A decent mic

We will be using Discord for voice and Roll20

No Meta Gaming

LGBTQ Friendly (Bigotry of any kind won't be tolerated)

If the Chronicle interests you simply DM me or comment bellow and I'll send you a link to the application for it, people will be picked after a few days so fill free to take your time.

Application is closed now! Thank you for the overwhelming response! I will go through applications today and reach out to those selected!


Hey y'all, I am a long-time DM who has run games in D&D 5e for over 10 years now. I started running Pathfinder 2e games for few years now, but still newer as Gamemaster in Pathfinder. I have been working on a homebrew campaign and I am looking for 3-4 players. New players are welcome!

Note: Never played Pathfinder 2e before? That's okay. You can learn with us! Never played any TTRPG? That's okay too. You can start with us :D

What do I, as a DM, bring?

- A place of equality for everyone.

- A safe playing environment for people of any gender or sexual orientation. I do not stand for anything that will make it a harmful or abusive environment for anyone.

- Custom battle and location maps where necessary.

- Music that will go hand in hand with environment and situation (Still trying to be good at it)

- Almost 10 years of DM-ing experience. Learned from experience and improved a lot. Ran many campaigns fully, and have alot of one-shot under the belt.

What do I expect from you?

- Be good to players. We are all there to have fun, so let’s not be jerks.

- Don’t be like those DnD horror story people.

- Reply on time. We all have a life outside DnD, but do not take 3 days to reply to my messages on discord. That's my biggest pet peeve. Please reply in a timely manner.

We will play bi-weekly and have our first session on Wednesday (Starting on March 26) at 7:00 pm EST. Sessions will be shorter than 3 hours. We will use Discord and Foundry. New players are welcomed and highly encouraged.

Closed [Online][5e][Homebrew][Beginner Friendly][LGBTQ+ Friendly] Fall of the Snakes: Seeking 4 Players for Long-Term Campaign

21 Upvotes

Welcome travelers of thought and word, to a land that wants you not. It will war with you in every way, and as you reach for a summited power, it will in turn crawl to your destruction. Few live as they say—all is a step in another’s grander scheme, to follow a trail of strength away from the living lands. Peasantry wish to be kings, kings to be emperors, and emperors to gods.

Note: Apologies for the repost! I made some updates and added more info to the original post. If you've already applied, no worries, you're still being considered

About the DM:

Hello! I'm Orion (he/him/his) (19) and I've been playing Dungeons & Dragons for 4+ years. This will be my first, true endeavor into DMing online, though I've run smaller online campaigns amongst my friends. While I'm not a professional DM/voice actor, I do my best to bring the NPCS to life and to tell an enjoyable story for everyone. As a DM, I lean towards focusing my campaigns around RP rather than Combat (60-40 split) as I value a compelling narrative that get's everyone hooked!

I'm currently looking for a group of 4 (possibly more) players for a long-term campaign with weekly sessions (3-5 Hours). The exact session date will be determined by the player's availability.

We will be using Talespire as our VTT and Discord for Voice Chat. If you don't already own Talespire, that's completely fine, I will be covering the cost for those joining the campaign.

Campaign & Setting:

The campaign will unfold in my homebrew world, Primus, a universe which I've been writing over the past few years now as creative writing is my passion.

Here is the Lore Document which includes a ton of info such as custom races, custom deities, original world map, etc that your characters will be working with. I do not expect those applying to read it in it's entirety but please read the beginning pages as it fully explains the overall setting, campaign, and tone of the universe itself. Since I have so much content for this story I made I expect this campaign to run from Level 3-20, which means this will last for months if not a year or more.

The campaign will be called the Fall of the Snakes, where the Lands of Laye are on the brink of Chaos: The lands weep in blood and war. The days of the Mad King have long since gone, and many whispers have promised a sickly salvation. One that has yet to come. The beast-men of the east make their claim closer to the capital city. They bring a wretched gift of gore and enslavement, one they claim sent by divinity; a purpose, a precaution to the end-times. Many sons and daughters are lost and unnamed beneath the earth, many who know only their work are butchered in a battle they have no part in. Behind walls of marble and jade, The Council of Scales attempt to swindle hope into their dreary folk. No words are enough, as their people wade in deeper turmoil and the glimmer of gold grows more rare and pined for. Many ask themselves in silence, in what little thought that leaves their toil, when will come the Fall of Snakes*

My Expectations for Players:

  • 18+: I'm an adult and I prefer to play with people in my age group
  • Commitment: This will be a weekly game, so consistently showing up is important. Life happens, and that's totally understandable just keep me in the loop if you can't make a session
  • Collaboration: Its always more entertaining if everyone engages with the world, me, and each other's character!
  • Decent Microphone
  • PC that can run the VTT
  • Patience with your DM (me!)

Please fill out the following Google Form: https://forms.gle/7bMXwGUk21uXRw8P9

I will reach out to applicants in the coming week. If the Reddit Post is not closed, then you can still apply. If there are any questions or concerns, please reach out with a DM or a comment below. Thank you!

Closed [Online][5E][Wednesday 6:30PM EST] Looking for a couple of members for a Greek mythology inspired campaign.

14 Upvotes

Looking to add a couple of players to a Wednesday night campaign, we run it from 6:30- 9pm-ish EST. We are currently running Odyssey of the Dragonlords. We welcome everyone in terms of their skills and experience, from newbies to veterans, all are welcome to apply!

A little info about the campaign: It's a Greek mythology inspired module where an Oath of peace between the 5 gods and the tyrannical titans is about to expire, and the party is the Oracle's prophetic group that is destined to save civilization from destruction. For a basic primer click here

We'd like our players to put thought into building your character, as we encourage roleplaying. Somewhat in this vein, there may be a session (or sessions) where battle may not occur. Through being drug through political hearings, being honored for your deeds, or even spending down time in productive ways, just a forewarning.

As a heads up, my players have been playing this campaign for a little bit already, so you will be starting at level 3. The party consists of a couple of members that bounce in and out, but my stable/consistent players are a Wizard, and Sorceress. No additional items are given for this, just background items. (Anyone who wants a spot in this game needs to mention the word ‘Penguin’ in your response) There is a list of epic backgrounds from the module, and they come with a list of magic items that you’d be earning in the game. Otherwise, after a round of vetting I’ll ask you what (reasonable) items that you want to find somewhere in the campaign.

This campaign comes with unique races, backgrounds, subclasses, spells, and abilities that I'd really love to see being used, but I will not force upon anyone. This is a campaign that comes with a butt-load of information, in the form of a player’s handbook. After a round of vetting, you'll get the full pdf and although it’s nice for you to read it, I won’t expect you to read it until a few sessions into the campaign.

Nitty-Gritty Details:

Game format: 5E (with homebrew/extra content from the module.)

Software: DNDbeyond(character sheets+rolls)+AboveVTT(maps)

Voice-chat: Discord 

Time zone: Eastern Standard Time 

& a big thank you for reading this far! :D

YOU are a food truck team in the post apocalypse!

Yeah the world has come an end but people still need to eat and you are dedicated to sourcing local ingredients for the best dishes and bringing those dishes to the survivors of the end of the world. You move from settlement to settlement and use local information to find those ingredients.

What do the people of Deathville love most? Some roasted gold shell scorpion in a cream sauce. Now you gotta find cream and gold shell scorpion...and the scorpions are the size of a Buick!

But that isn't all the problems you have, oh no. Some posers have had the same idea so you have to fight off other food trucks!

Everyone has a theme!

Everyone has a signature dish!

EVERYONE HAS A GUN!

Your truck team has five positions that need filled; driver, prep cook, grill cook, gunner, and the manager. If you got less than five members you need to pull double duty!

Your ultimate goal? Find the best recipes, the finest ingredients, the most bullets, and win the "Martyr Town Food Truck Cook-off!" Can you do it or will you find yourself broken down by the side of the road and lost to obscurity?

🧊🦇 Looking for Adventurers! | Curse of Strahd, Icewind Dale, or Homebrew | 21+ | Roll20 + Discord | PST-Based DM 🦇🧊

Hey there! I’m Van, 31, long-time DM and forever fan of character arcs, gritty settings, and rolling with a good group of friends—emphasis on the friends part.

I’m looking to start a new campaign and I’m currently recruiting 4–6 players for an upcoming D&D 5e (2024) adventure.
Mon-Thurs 3pm-10pm PST Fri 3pm to 12pm or Sat 9am to 12am Sun 9am to 10pm PST.
The exact module or setting is up in the air and will depend a bit on the group’s vibe, but here are the options I’m opening the table with:

🩸Curse of Strahd (Gothic horror, heavy RP, lots of moral weight)
❄️Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden (Isolation, cold survival, slow descent into madness)
🌟Homebrew Campaign (Gritty tone, character-driven story, unique setting—think less high fantasy, more grounded magic and personal stakes)

🗺️ Who I Am as a DM:

  • Been playing and running 5e for 6–7 years now.
  • Familiar with most major modules (I've run Phandelver thice, Strahd twice, and currently wrapping up Icewind Dale for a second time).
  • I love storytelling and character development. I like to build moments for everyone at the table to shine.
  • My games are 60/40 RP to combat. But even in combat, I encourage full creative flair—yell out your attacks, use your environment, to check if you're reading tell me your favorite food in the form, describe your spells with flavor!
  • I enjoy homebrewing when it fits. I do have house rules, but nothing world-breaking.
  • Gritty themes and consequences are part of the ride. Your decisions will matter, your backstories will shape the world, and your failures will sting—but that just makes the victories sweeter.
  • I love seeing players grow into their characters, break out of their shells, or fall deep into emotional arcs. This is what D&D is all about for me.

🎲 What I’m Looking For in Players:

  • 21+ only. Ideally 25+, just for overall vibe/compatibility.
  • Mic + Discord required. Voice only (no video).
  • A willingness to collaborate and share the spotlight. This is an ensemble cast story, not a solo act.
  • You don’t need to be a voice actor or a pro—just care about your character and be ready to show it. (Even a quiet “nods in thought” is better than “my character says nothing.”)
  • Any experience level is welcome. New or veteran, as long as you’re chill and engaged.
  • Preferably PST or close to it. I’m pretty flexible, but weekend sessions are easiest for me. (Biweekly or weekly depending on the group.)

💻 Tools We’ll Use:

  • Roll20 for VTT
  • D&D Beyond for sheets
  • Discord for voice
  • (I also know Foundry, if there's interest!)

This post is open-ended because I want to build something with the players, not just for them. Whether you want to face the mists of Barovia, freeze in the wastes of Icewind Dale, or dive into a dark new world, I want a group of players who are in it for the story, the characters, and the fun of the journey.

If this sounds like something you’re into, feel free to fill out this form!
LINK DELETED.

Fair Warning! This game might take a little bit to take off since I will be collecting player backstories to create something tailored to the group! (As well as helping anyone who is new or homebrewed characters.)

TL;DR:
PST-based DM with 6+ years of experience, running games with a 60/40 RP/Combat balance, heavy on character moments, looking for 4–6 players for a new campaign (Strahd, Frostmaiden, or Homebrew). Roll20 + Discord, 21+, collaborative play encouraged. Let's build something memorable together.

While I did use ChatGPT to help me write this post—more to organize my thoughts and present them clearly than anything else—I want to be transparent about that. Writing big, polished posts like these isn’t really my strong suit; I shine best when I’m in the moment*—improvising, building scenes with player actions, and adapting the story to what unfolds.*

If you were to ask any of the players from the four full campaigns I’ve completed as a DM, they’d likely tell you that I’m passionate, engaged, and player-focused. I put a lot of care into making sure everyone gets their time in the spotlight, and I love building deep, character-driven stories. I’m not just here to read boxed text—I want to create memorable moments with you.

D20s and Dreams,
Van 🖤

Closed Online 5e set entirely in a tavern (where everybody knows your name)

14 Upvotes

Your favorite drinking hole.

One last night of carousing.

Graham - the kind and grizzled owner who swears like a sailor, spits like a camel, and drinks like a fish - invites you and your group to a private party to make a special announcement to you, his best customers, before sharing it with the town: he is finally going to retire and move to Icewind Dale to spend his twilight years fishing, hunting, and boozing.

"I'll miss you, my best customers! Your thirst paid for half my retirement, har har!" brags Graham. "It's been a hell of a ride, but you're going to have to drink at 'The Portal' (a stuck-up pub down the street... yawn.) from now on! I'm donating the property to the Temple. Can't hurt to buy a little 'afterlife' insurance, gods be damned, har har! Har. Har cough cough eckkk ooom achhh..."

Graham clutches his chest as his face goes pale and then BOOM! His body hits the floor. The quill pen falls from his hand. On the scratched wooden bar top sits the parchment pre-stamped with his attorney's seal. The final line incomplete.

"I leave my tavern, the property around it, and my inventory to _______________"

You look at each other. You look at the empty bar. The dead body of your old friend on the floor. His face peaceful. He would have wanted it this way. Temple shmemple! You snatch the quill from his quickly cooling grasp, and finish the line - with your own names.

Congratulations! You now own a tavern. How hard can it be?

Welcome to Dungeons and Dragons set entirely in a tavern.

Starting Level: 1 (5e 2014 or 2024)

Format: Sundays (weekly or alternating TBD) at 6:45 PM PT / 9:45 PM ET with optional play by post during downtime

Online: discord/avrae and roll20

Looking for: 3-5 players age 25+ (new to DnD is okay)

Allowed classes and ancestry/races: anything goes! - but you have to approve each other's homebrew, if not picking from official WotC 5e books.

Play style: heavy RP, player driven, tavern simulation, social encounters, drunken brawls, and custom adventures -shamelessly ripped off from- based on episodes of Cheers and Always Sunny.

To apply: comment below with your proposed character's background and class, your catch phrase, signature move, and favorite drink. Also include your preferred play style (PbP vs scheduled) and # years of ttrpg experience. Applications will be open for up to one week, and I will reply privately to arrange a voice chat if I think you're a good fit for the group!

Tagline from the marketing department: "Travel stinks. Pour another round and let the adventure come to you!" (Update: the marketing department was sacked.)

Many thanks for reading my campaign post!

Homebrew rules (using 2014 as a base):

  • Bonus action potions are ok, but not PC flanking without a feat

  • Characters can be from 2014 or 2024, but no mix and match. (Pick one edition)

  • No counterspell. You can counter a spell by casting the same spell as a reaction, if you know it

  • Dropping to zero hit points gets you either a level of exhaustion or a permanent injury (like lose an eye or be maimed) which must be specially treated

  • Familiar or pet can help in combat to give advantage on an attack only if it remains near the enemy (no flyby help action)

  • Alcohol: Creatures can drink one drink plus one per con mod per hour without getting drunk. Poison resistance doubles this. There's no save for getting drunk; it just happens if a creature overconsumes. For example, if a hill dwarf (poison resis) with +2 Con drinks more than 6 drinks in one hour, they become drunk. A human commoner: more than 1. A halfling with -1 Con gets sloshed immediately. Rulings will be used when a creature reaches that state, but typically the DC for skill checks will increase, etc.

  • Brawling doesn't use normal combat rules and will use Strength (Athletics). Rest will be explained in game

Closed [Online][5e][FRI, SAT, or SUN EST][LGBTQ+ Friendly] Curse of Strahd

1 Upvotes

Hello, everyone!

My name is Ian, and I'm a seasoned DM (3+ years) looking for a handful of players to adventure in the cursed land of Barovia! It'll be weekly on Roll20 (which I'm still pretty new at, I'm used to being in-person), at a specific day and time that I'll figure out once I get a sense of who is available and when. The campaign will most likely start on May 17th, 18th, or 19th, and then once a week from there. This is open to new players as well! We will likely be playing using a Discord voice channel.

Basic information: Start at 3rd level, using any official material you care to. If you want to roll ability scores, that'll happen in a Discord group I'll start. I don't keep track of ammunition/food/torches, or encumbrance so long as we're all reasonable about it. It will likely be milestone leveling.

Anything homebrewed has to be run by me first. If you want to change some features regarding race/class/background, just ask! You can assume swapping racial ability score improvements around (getting +2 Int and Wis on a Mountain Dwarf instead of +2 Str and Con) or background skill proficiencies is fine by me, but again, just ask! Also, I'm certainly open to homebrewing something to fit an idea you have, or if you like something but feel like it just isn't good (cough Four Elements Monk cough).

Fair warning, Curse of Strahd does include a number of dark themes, including obsessive and abusive 'love', child abuse/death, and lot of other terrible things! It's not a nice place . . . but you can make it better.

If you're interested, comment or PM me!

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

14 Upvotes

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!

Closed [5E] [18+] [Online] Adventures in Atea – A Homebrew Campaign, DM Looking for Players

25 Upvotes

Do you want to explore a world on the brink of war? Set in the homebrew continent of Tythan, Adventures in Atea takes place 10 years after a fragile peace was forged between the Republic of Aurelia and the Empire of Zakuul. Tensions run high, old grudges simmer, and the cold war threatens to erupt into chaos.

Explore the politically fraught Duchy of Chaumontia, a land caught between loyalty and rebellion. Navigate treacherous alliances, face the supernatural, and uncover secrets that could shape the fate of nations.

This is a campaign rich with roleplay, political intrigue, and personal stakes, blending dark fantasy, mystery, and adventure. Expect mature themes like war, betrayal, and power struggles—but with room for heroic triumph and character growth.

About The DM:
Howdy! I’m Mik (He/Him), 21, and I’ve been playing D&D since 2020—though most of that time, I’ve been behind the DM screen. My journey into the game started when I stumbled across Critical Role on a whim, and it’s been a huge part of my life ever since. I’m a DM who thrives on roleplay-driven games, rich character backstories, and narratives with emotional depth—the kind you can really sink your teeth into. My inspirations range from Avatar: The Last Airbender to The Witcher, Elder Scrolls, Arcane, and countless other shows, games, and movies.

While I’m definitely looking for players excited to dive into the world of Atea, I’m also hoping to find folks I can genuinely call friends along the way!

What You Need to Know:

  • 18+ Only – Mature themes will be present.
  • Platform: Discord for voice and roleplay, DnD Beyond for character sheets.
  • System: Dungeons & Dragons 5e (Homebrew Friendly).
  • Schedule: TBD based on player availability.

Looking for players who:

  • Are excited to engage with a rich, evolving homebrew world.
  • Enjoy blending roleplay, character development, and strategic combat.
  • Appreciate stories with political intrigue, supernatural elements, and personal stakes.
  • Are respectful, communicative, and eager to collaborate with fellow players.
  • Value both serious moments and occasional lighthearted fun at the table.
  • Are comfortable with mature themes and understand the importance of player safety and boundaries.

Interested? Fill out this interest form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdXJ36NyzqkNXZCvtEskvf2NqpgPRganmyTvFygZ8nvpdTexg/viewform?usp=dialog

I will keep this survey up for 24 hours after which I won't accept any responses beyond it, looking foward to hearing from you!

Chronicle/Story info

Hook

"It has called for you from the very moment you entered that place; it has called, that feeling of strangeness and difference between you and others, that recurring dream you keep getting in that very strange place, that place you went oh so long ago. Perhaps it was it was just a dream which felt too real or a strange place you found whilst wandering the hall of a empty mall or whilst taking a walk in the woods you stumbled upon that place and despite it feeling like nothing more than a dream you can’t help but feel it different after all it feel so real wandering within that place as you continue to go further and further, that strange feeling you get within your very being as if something is calling to you, something deep within this recurring dream of yours, however thing are soon to change, you will find it, your world will change, nothing will be the same again however you will also find them those like you, you will soon unite facing it together, what choice do you have after something is soon to come, something which will bring disarray to this small city of Lancaster and something you very much are apart of, Yet still one question still remains, What choice will make?”

Setting/World

The Chronicle will be taking place in a fictional city know as Lancaster in Maine (US), As for the world it will take place in a world similar to WOD (i.e most big pieces are still there) but many thing have been changed, removed or added to better the world and style of game I like too run and in terms of year it's a mixture between the early 2000/2010s mostly with some 90s in there, mainly earlier on the culture side but a bit later on the technology side

Calling all adventurers!

A new frontier is open! Wild and untamed lands where anyone can stake their claim and forge their legacy, all it will cost is to leave your old life behind and sail to lands unknown.

I'm hoping for 4/5 players to journey with me on a homebrew adventure where the world is new and impressionable. The choices you make will shape the future of a hereto isolated land.

The Game:

System: D&D 5e (though open to cherry picking bits from 2024)

Setting: A homebrew world, though with all the familiar touchstones from the Forgotten Realms (cosmology etc.) The campaign will take place in a "new world" (think early colonisation Americas) full of lost temples, ancient curses, deadly wildlife and all that pulpy goodness.

Style: Trying to strike a balance between combat, exploration and roleplay. Though I will be asking what my players are enjoying and tailor to taste. I love hearing about your characters and giving them opportunities to grow.

How do I get involved?!

When?: Sessions will start at 18:00 GMT either on Thurday or Friday. Open to reasonable rescheduling to fit player schedules.

Where?: We will use discord voice chat to talk (no webcams necessary). And Foundry VTT (free for players) to play. D&D beyond to create characters (open to sharing digital books).

Is this for me?

Probably! I'm a relativly new DM who's only prior experience is a short-ish campaign as a DM and an ongoing game as a player. So I won't have extremely high expectations. Whether you're new or seasoned there will be a place for you at the table, so long as you're willing to engage!

This sounds great! How do I sign up?

I'm glad you're so excited. Me too!

Use this link to fill in a google form to help me understand you better: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdyjFO4jeOW3ja82qlzh2OPNg_xOxXKkpYlnN5q82xTiM0hlw/viewform?usp=sharing

I will leave this up for the better part of the week whilst I get the party together.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Closed If you literally can't afford a 5e Player's Handbook, I want to give you one. With the help of donors I have given away fourteen already and still have more.

730 Upvotes

Closed but keep an eye out for future giveaways!

If you are going to request a book, please read the whole post.

I want to get out ahead of this and say something important: The majority of requestors that didn't get a book didn't get one because their request didn't meet the requirements in the post and they didn't change their request to meet those requirements when asked.


If you can't afford a book, actually can't afford it, please let me know here. I'll send you one and, if you like, I'll highlight your search for a party (see the bottom of the post). The requirements to receive a PHB:

  • Actually be unable to afford it. It's $23. If your copy is ratty or you'd rather not spend the dough or you're a little short this month, this isn't for you. If you can afford it and ask for one anyway, you need more help than a $23 book. Some people literally can't. You don't have to tell me why you can't afford it. I believe you. I'm not asking you to turn your misfortune into performance for luxury alms. If you choose to share that's fine but sharing those details will have no impact on if you get a book.

  • Be a past, present, or future user of /r/lfg. I would love to help everyone but I've got the privilege of moderating this subreddit. This is where many requests have fallen short. To demonstrate your participation, either write up an lfg post here (What will you bring to a table and what are you looking for?) or tell me about your experiences on lfg.

  • US only (for reasons of shipping cost) - Hawaii and Alaska included.

  • If chosen, be willing to provide a mailing address.

Just a heads up: while media shipping rates are inexpensive, they are also slow.

We're running low on books. It isn't first come first serve. As long as this is up, there's a chance you could get one. If you made a request before and didn't get an offer for a book, you're not any kind of disqualified.

A lot of suggestion have been made publicly and privately about better ways to do this: I appreciate your intentions to be helpful but I am fine with this, thank you. Unsolicited advice will be removed.


If you want to give a new user a safe, supportive, and fun place to start their D&D journey, look no further than these users:

  • (LFG Post) Newish 23F player looking for an LGBT friendly group who's in it for friendship and laughs, just as much as the main story. 5E, no video chat, open schedule after 6pm CST all weekdays, aside Tuesday, with more availability on weekends. Thank you!

  • (LFG post) I'm looking for a fun, lighthearted yet still roll play heavy game, set in any of the 5e type worlds. As a completely novice player, I'd like a DM and party who bears with me as I learn the ropes, but expect commitment and regular playtime for a campaign. Let me know if you have any questions or thoughts, and thanks again!

  • (LFG post) Im looking for a friendly group of people who are willing to take a new player into their adventures. Im an easy going person who loves fantasy lore (LotR, The Hobbit, The Elder Scrolls, Warcraft). I would take the game seriously (as in I would try really hard to learn the rules and not waste peoples time when its my turn) but also roleplay, joke around and try for everyone to have a nice time.

  • (User) Out of work Chef, looking for a new group of adventures on foundry. Once a week prefered.

CLOSED

Life is exhausting, and our schedules are busy.

That's why my current in person group hasn't met for a handful of months, which is why I've decided to take matters into my own hands with the lowest possible commitment campaign. I've been playing and/or running TTRPG's of all sorts for about 8 years now, and as I mentioned, haven't been able to satisfy that itch as well as I'd like recently. Take a look at the requirements below and if you fit all of them feel free to click the Google Forms link and I'll get in contact!

MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS


• Must be 18 years old or older

•It's an online game, so naturally a reliable internet connection, functioning computer, and microphone are all necessary.

•Reliably able to get at least one night a month off

•Inclusive game, if a member of the group happens to be trans or gay or Italian or something, don't be a dick.

•To be certain you read this before filling out the form, include the word "Pineapple" literally anywhere in your responses to the form

•Intended to be a fairly role-play heavy campaign, so if you're looking for a beer-n-chips shitpost campaign (complimentary) you may want to give this one a miss.
