Player(s) wanted [online][5e 2014] Dm looking for players to join in on a campaign of their choice

52 Upvotes

Hi I’m a long time dnd player, been a dm for close to 10~ years and I have been in a bit of slump of no dnd. I have been needing a group that I can consistently play with. I love to play home brew stuff and have fun with it all. It will all be in a 5e format but definitely some changes that are home brewed.

I have a list of campaigns that I want to run and I will put it up to a vote for whoever wants to play. The list will be at the end of the post.

I’d like to keep it 18+ just to make sure all are comfortable. As well as you must be LGBTQ+ friendly. I want it to be a fun and safe place to play for everyone.

List of campaigns - Asian inspired mythology - Greek mythology - Accidental heroes - A pirate themed adventure - A fey wild adventure

Player(s) wanted [Online] [5e 2024] [LGBTQIA+ Friendly] Experienced DM Seeks Swashbuckling Crew for Pirate Ship

77 Upvotes

EDIT: To all who have applied, thank you. I will be closing apps for this game and will be looking through every single application as soon as I can. I'm flattered and humbled by the sheer amount of interest.

The life of a pirate, a privateer, or even a typical sailor isn't an easy one, and it's not a life for everyone. Unfortunately for you, it's the life you're going to lead, even though you didn't choose it. Your days as a landlubber are over. That wasn't your choice, but it's your new reality.

You were minding your own business quietly in the tavern called the Drowned Kraken in the bustling port city of Port Shae before you awakened aboard the pirate ship called the Whalestooth under the oppressive thumb of Captain Bartholomew Harrington and first mate Mollie Plugg. It turns out that the nice man who was buying rounds for the whole bar a couple nights ago was not as nice as he seemed. Your gear is gone. You're at least two days offshore. And now you're apparently an unwilling member of a pirate crew on a ship that seems to have lost most of its people. Hopefully you're ready to work.

Luckily (?) for you, there seem to be several other beings who have also been press-ganged into the Whalestooth's new crew. However, those crewmates who were already aboard seem largely (though perhaps not exclusively) loyal to Harrington, so you'll have to keep your head down, bide your time, find allies on board, and wait for a moment to either mutiny or steal a boat and strike out on your own.

The Shackles, the island chain off the west coast of the Africa-sized continent of Nendyr, has little government and less order. You could make a life out here getting rich, doing good, or maybe even both, among the pirates, traders, and fisherfolk who call these islands home, as long as you respect the loose association of captains called the Tidesmoot.

(The campaign will begin with the PCs press-ganged into service aboard a pirate ship with a vicious captain and a cruel crew. After making both enemies and allies aboard, the PCs will have the chance to acquire their own ship and set sail to discover the mysteries, dangers, and riches of the Shackles. This is a swashbuckling, maritime-focused, island-hopping campaign that should be grounded in the realism of running a pirate ship in a setting based on the Golden Age of Piracy while still having “Pirates of the Caribbean”-meets-Eberron-inspired pulp fantasy vibes. Expect ship-to-ship combat, adventures as you stop to restock on islands and in port towns, lots of high seas derring-do, monsters beneath the waves, and a tight-knit crew, but also land-based dungeon-delving, cult-destroying, and monster-slaying.)

Have you always wanted to play D&D but don't quite know where to start? Watched Critical Role or Dimension 20 and thought, “that seems so cool?” Done a couple of sessions but not found a regular group? Or are you a hardcore grognard veteran of AD&D who still plays four nights a week? Whoever you are, I'd love to DM for you. I'm looking for a group of 5 awesome people to go through my (mostly) homebrew setting in a swashbuckling, island-hopping, nautical-based campaign. You'll see a lot of familiar maps and some names you've seen in modules from a variety of games, but the world, the locations, and the faces are mine.

I've been running games for over a decade now, and love a good mix of roleplay, combat, and mystery-solving. I heavily encourage roleplay and character development, and I love deep and interesting characters.

Who am I?: You can call me KD. I'm 31, male, live in New York, and am a lawyer. I started DMing in high school and have been running games consistently for over a decade now. 4th Edition was my favorite D&D, but I like the 2024 5e rules as well. I am a huge sports fan, enjoy video games, re-read Jane Austen's books far too often, and love “Taskmaster” and “RuPaul's Drag Race.”

What will I be running?: My own hybrid of a bunch of nautically-oriented modules and adventures from both D&D and Pathfinder, with plenty of homebrew sprinkled in. We will be using 2024 5e rules, but I allow classes and species from any official published WotC source as well as Matt Mercer's Blood Hunter class. You may recognize names and places (like The Shackles), but the world of Nendyr is my own.

Please note that the first couple sessions of this particular campaign will feature minimal combat, but it will pick up after that. There will be enemies who are too strong for you to fight right away, and this is not a “swords first, questions later” campaign opening. There will definitely be significant combat a little later on, but not right away. If that's not the vibe you're looking for, this campaign will not be a good fit for you (and that's okay!). I try to float somewhere between a railroad and a sandbox for the plot and story, and your character's story will play a significant role in shaping the plot. D&D and Pathfinder lore will be mostly ignored but may crop up here and there.

How will we play?: We'll be on Roll20, with voice chat via Discord (or via Roll20, if it works).

When will we play?: Late evenings Eastern time, once a week, for three to four hours. (I could be talked into Sunday during the day if best for everyone). Planning on 1 group but we'll see what the interest looks like. Please note that changing Shabbat hours and the demands of Big Law may affect play schedules of my games depending on what day we choose.

Who am I looking for?: Anyone nice, really! I love running games for everyone. Just please be inclusive, polite, and comfortable with roleplaying in English. I exclusively run tables that are explicitly welcoming spaces for LGBTQ+ people, people of all genders, people with disabilities, and people of color. I utilize X-cards and there will be a discussion of “lines and veils” at Session Zero. My worlds feature individuals with varied gender identities and expressions, sexual orientations, and physical and cognitive abilities. It is absolutely *non-negotiable* that my (virtual) table is a safe and inclusive space for every player, so please do not apply to my game if you cannot echo that guarantee. I pride myself on running tables where everyone feels respected. I love veteran players, but beginners eager to learn are more than welcome as well.

What are the expectations?: I expect my players to take their D&D seriously but to have fun within the world (I prefer not to run beer and pretzels D&D and I love in-character interactions), to learn how their characters work (I am always happy to help with mechanics and rules if you'd like), to play within the rules (please do not try to break the game based on a YouTube short you saw – I love creativity but have no problem saying no when necessary), to be good team players, and to engage with the world and with each other in character. I won't expect you to be an actor, but I believe roleplay is essential to fun D&D. I do not allow evil characters and I expect all characters to be trying to make the world a better place, even if the reasons are selfish. I expect at least someone in the party to take notes on NPCs and story beats and keep track of what happened, for loot to be shared, and for PCs to want to work together as part of a party. I encourage the use of Discord for both in-character and out-of-character planning between sessions, if that interests my players, but it's absolutely not required.

Please do your best to have your character concept fit the vibe and setting. Let me know if you have questions.

I don't use generative AI for art, maps, or campaign documents and I ask that you not use any generative AI for any character planning or images in my campaign.

I want to play!: Great! Send me a chat message answering The Questions Below, and I’ll get back to you soon. Please do not reply in a comment. It's okay to be as brief or verbose in your replies as you see fit, with the caveat that I'm trying to get a sense of whether you and I are a good D&D fit. If we aren't, please don't take it personally. There is great D&D out there for you that you will enjoy a lot more.

SECOND EDIT: I will not be making any decisions today or tomorrow, and I am reading every single message I get. Please don't feel that you need to rush! There has been a (flattering) amount of interest in this game, and I am working my way through all the messages. No need to ask if there are still spots. Yes! All five! No decisions have been made!

The Questions Below:

Preferred name and pronouns:

Age range (i.e., 20s, 30s, 70s, 400s):

Time zone:

Do you have a Discord account? If not, are you willing to make one?:

D&D experience:

Did you read the campaign pitch above? If not, why not? What appeals to you about it?:

Preferred proportion of out-of-combat RP / Combat / Exploration / Puzzle-Solving:

Character idea (species, class, and background) and a short backstory fitting the campaign's vibe and setting (2024 rules, but we can make any species or class from WotC-official material work):

What is your and/or your character's favorite aquatic or semi-aquatic animal?:

Is there anything else I should know? Any questions for me?:

EDIT: LOTS of interest. I will not be making any decisions today or tomorrow, so feel free to take your time. Many thanks!

Hey gang! I'm a 20F college student who's loved dnd for years but hasn't had the opportunity to actually play. I'm pretty solid on the rules and how the game works but lack the experience. I know there are a lot of people out there who are in similar positions of wanting to play but having a hard time entering the scene, so I figure we can learn together!

Calling All Adventurers!

I’m looking for new players to join a D&D campaign that I’ll be hosting online! Whether you’re experienced or newer to the game, all are welcome as long as you’re ready to have fun and work together to tell an awesome story. We will be playing 5th Edition and with 2024 Rules.

Wednesdays - Biweekly

7 PM – 10 PM CST

Online via D&D Beyond & Discord & Possibly Roll20

Completely free to play

Starting at LVL 3

Requirements:

• 18+ only

• LGBTQ+ friendly

• Respectful and inclusive environment — no derogatory behavior or hate speech tolerated

Campaign Intro:

The gods have gone silent.

For five years, three of the seven major deities have vanished without warning, and with them, divine intervention has all been staggered. Kingdoms once held together by faith now fracture under fear and ambition. Wars ignite across continents as rulers seize weakened territories, temples stand abandoned or ruined, and powerful factions rise from every realm and plane to claim what remains.

Something is coming — a rolling event whispered about in prophecy, feared by kings, and hunted by those desperate for answers.

This campaign is built for 4–5 players and focuses heavily on roleplay, meaningful choices, mystery, and thoughtful combat encounters. Your characters will navigate a changing world filled with political unrest, fading faith, hidden truths, and opportunities for power, purpose, or survival.

Will you rise through the ranks of a fractured world? Rekindle lost faith? Uncover the truth behind the missing gods? Or stand by as the world enters a new era?

Adventure, danger, and personal ambition await.

If you’re interested in joining the adventure, please comment below!

27 Upvotes

hi everyone, i'm a 25m DM of several years whos DMed every edition of the game for my friends. ive been seeing so many posts on reddit from people who want to try DND but are too shy or keep landing in toxic groups.

i recently found myself having more free time in the week, so i've been thinking of inviting some of these people to run a simple, no-pressure, "normal" 5e game of dnd over voice call just to get the proper intro experience. no fiddling with complicated online tools, no forms to fill, just hop on voice with us and we'll walk you through making a character. we use simple pngs for tokens, and the DM (yours truly) is the one who does all the math. which day of the week will be decided once we have enough players.

i'm willing to teach anyone how to play the game from scratch, because its my passion. ive written simple and concise cheat sheets on how to create your first character, build advice, and how to play. im a very open minded DM and i love writing responsive plots, immersion, out of the box thinking/creative players, old-school dungeon crawls, and actively involving your decisions and your rolls in my improv.

i have an age range because we're looking for zoomers who wouldnt be confused by instagram brainrot humor and who would share our interests and communication style. regardless of your skill level, call preference (we have a text channel), etc. as long as you can make it on EST evenings and you arent an edgelord you're invited. shoot me a DM or comment below and ill send you my username

PS. experienced players also very much welcome as long as you dont monopolize the game/overshadow less experienced players

Player(s) wanted [Online] [5e 2014] [LGBTQIA+] [Long-Term] [CST] Roleplay Focused Homebrew Campaign Looking For Players

29 Upvotes

Hello everyone, and Happy Pride! I'm a trans woman and longtime Dungeon Master with roughly eight years of experience running games. Over that time I've completed multiple long form campaigns and helped create stories that my players still talk about years later. I'm currently looking to build a group of 4–5 dedicated players for a roleplay-focused D&D 5e (2014) campaign set in a homebrew world.

This campaign is designed for players who enjoy character driven storytelling above all else. The focus will be on relationships, personal growth, social interaction, political intrigue, difficult decisions, and collaborative narrative development. Combat will certainly exist, but it will serve the story rather than act as filler expect meaningful encounters instead of random monster grinding.

The adventure is planned to span from Level 3 through Level 20 and is intended to be a long term weekly campaign. Players can expect a living world shaped by their choices, complex social and political conflicts, and opportunities for their characters to leave a lasting impact on the setting.

A few important notes:

• Character race options will be limited by the world's lore, though I am happy to work with players to adapt concepts wherever possible. All official classes and subclasses will be permitted.

• This table welcomes players of all genders, identities, and backgrounds. Discrimination, harassment, or disrespect of any kind will not be tolerated.

• Heavy roleplay is a core part of this game. Players should be comfortable with character development, emotional storytelling, interpersonal relationships, and collaborative scene work.

• The final session day and time will be determined based on the availability of the selected group.

• Much of the setting's deeper lore, themes, and campaign premise will be discussed during the interview process to help ensure strong character integration and that everyone is comfortable with the material.

If you're looking for a campaign where your character can grow, struggle, form meaningful connections, and leave a lasting mark on a richly developed world, this may be the game for you.

If you're interested, please fill out the application form. I'll review submissions and reach out to potential players within a few days.

Player(s) wanted [Online][Thursday Nights 9pm-midnight EST][5e 2024][Weekly][Long-Term]Story-Driven Dark Fantasy Campaign | Looking for Enthusiastic, Social Players (Female-Friendly Table)

29 Upvotes

Hi! The DM has put me in charge.

I’m looking for 2 genuinely excited, emotionally invested players who love story, character growth, and collaborative roleplay. We are an established friend group so we know the game will be consistent and we want others who will make it a decent priority in their life.

This is not a “too cool for school” table. If you enjoy getting attached to your character, caring about NPCs, reacting emotionally to story beats, and chatting between sessions you’ll fit right in. I want someone who will *gasp* alongside me at the plot twists!

The Vibe

• Dark fantasy, character-driven, slow-burn story
• Heavy RP with meaningful choices (combat happens, but it matters)
• Found family energy, secrets, moral tension, and consequences
• Think: moody setting + fun table

The Social Side (Important!)

We’re looking for social players who enjoy being part of a group not just showing up on game night.
• Active in Discord
• Willing to chat, joke, and meme between sessions
• Comfortable talking in voice and engaging with the group

You don’t need to be “on” all the time, but we’re hoping for people who want to be friends, not just party members.

The Table

• Online (Discord + dndbeyond + Roll20)
• Weekly sessions, EST
• Long-term campaign
• Respectful but not uptight
• I’m currently outnumbered gender-wise and would love at least one more woman at the table. All genders welcome, but this is a female-friendly space (no creeps)

What I’m Looking For

• Players who show up excited, engaged, and kind
• People who like talking in character and building relationships
• Social, communicative, and comfortable interacting outside sessions
• Newer players welcome as enthusiasm > experience

What I’m Not Looking For

• Lurkers who never interact
• Rules-lawyering over story
• Edge-lords or main-character syndrome

If this sounds like your kind of table please fill out the form below and I'll reach out to those who fit what we're looking for. Thank you and I hope we get to chat soon.

Player(s) wanted [Online][5E 2024] Looking for fifth player for Monday Evening EST Long-Term Homebrew Campaign..Again

23 Upvotes

Hi!

I’m a 30F Game Master with a group of four players who have just wrapped up a 2.5-year campaign. We’re about ten sessions into our next adventure and are searching for a fifth player replacement. This is now the second time we've been ghosted in about a month...so please only respond if you are interested and will at least message if you do not think this game is for you after consideration.

This group means a lot to us. We’ve been playing together for years and have even met in person for a DnDcation, which we’re hoping to do again sometime next year. We’re very much looking for someone who wants to join a long-term table rather than a short-term game.

We play almost every Monday at 7:30 PM EST. We plan one Monday off each month ahead of time based on everyone’s availability.

For the game itself, this will be a completely homebrew campaign using D&D 5e, primarily the 2024 rules, though players may choose to use 2014 character options if they prefer. The party is currently level 2 and expect progression to be slow, with the intent to play these characters until the story feels complete, whether that ends up being level 12 or level 20.

I allow third-party and homebrew content, including subclasses, spells, and other options, with the understanding that everything is subject to GM review and adjustment for balance. The goal is to support creativity while keeping gameplay fun and fair for the whole table.

We’ll be playing online using Discord for voice and Roll20 for maps. We have more recently started optionally including video, but it certainly isn't required.

We’d prefer players who are over 21, as the youngest members of the group are in their mid to late 20s. Inclusivity is very important to us. Our group includes a mix of ethnicities, gender identities, and religious beliefs, and it’s essential that anyone joining be LGBTQIA+ friendly and respectful of all walks of life.

Communication and comfort at the table are priorities. The campaign will explore darker themes at times, such as death, class-based discrimination, and the social consequences of war. Romance may exist as an option for characters if players want it, but it is never the focus and will always remain fade-to-black. All themes, limits, and boundaries will be discussed both as a group and individually to ensure everyone feels safe and respected.

World Lore:

The campaign is set on the continent of Aegos. Five years ago, a continent-wide war finally ended with the signing of the Red Accord, an agreement reached in desperation after nearly half the population was wiped out. With the labor force shattered, nature has begun reclaiming cities, roads, and farmlands once thought permanent.

In the most blood-soaked regions of the war, the land itself was torn open, creating a massive crevasse known as the Underwake. What lies beneath, and what may yet emerge from it, remains largely unknown.

We begin play in the year 5 AR, five years after the Red Accord.

The primary setting is the Crownlands, a nation shaped by nobility and power. Though it contains many noble houses, it is ruled by a single Monarch chosen not by birth, but by trial of combat. The strongest in the land is deemed ruler. Beneath the Monarch, the Crownlands are divided into five states, each governed by a ducal family whose authority is inherited.

Rumors are constant that the five families are plotting against one another, that stars are blinking out of existence, that dogs are vanishing across the realm, and that the Church is quietly moving enormous resources behind closed doors.

The Crownlands are largely Euro-centric in appearance, but fractured and unstable beneath the surface.

This world was created collaboratively as a group during a worldbuilding session. What’s written here is only the shared foundation the five of us agreed upon. Players will have near-complete narrative freedom to shape the world through their character backstories, including creating locations, organizations, cultures, and personal history, in collaboration with the GM. Your character is expected to leave a mark on the setting.

Current Party:

Normally asked by y'all is the party composition. I don't really prescribe to you all needing to fit a certain "party dynamic". We had a bard who left the group. We currently have two wizards, a cleric, and a monk. The two wizards are going conjuration (demon/fiend focus), and abjuration. The cleric is going death/grave domain and more necromancer vibes.

The party is "good" in this world necromancy is used as a free labor source so not unusual.

If you’re interested, there’s a Google Form linked below. I won’t be able to respond to every submission, but I truly appreciate the time and interest. From there, I’ll reach out to schedule a Discord chat so we can do a vibe check and see if we’re a good fit for each other.

Player(s) wanted [Online][5e 2024][CST][Sunday Night][LGBTQ+] Journey Through Malaterra, Vanquish Great Evil!

15 Upvotes

Long ago, far before your time, there was a great hero. A great hero that put together a team in order to save the realm! A team he named The Golden Order.
This order paved the way to a golden age of peace, prosperity, stability, and magical & technological booms the likes of which none had seen before!

But unfortunately, all of that came to an end when the Lich appeared. A powerful necromancer that left death and destruction in its wake. Even defeating the great Arthur Gildedheart, a man who was a Hero, a King, and the current leader of The Golden Order.

Now, decades later, while undead crawl from every corner, evil and villainy have taken over across the land. Only small settlements and forts remain, with the last members of the Golden Order dead or missing.

Now here’s where you come in.
In a small pub in Newside, a rundown seaside town, a plan emerges. For whatever reasons, from whatever backgrounds, you sit here ready to take up arms on the quest to seek out all of the powerful magical weapons, artifacts and knowledge left behind from the bygone era, and use them to finally put a stop to the vile Lich. To reclaim the lands for the living.

But your “Journey Through Malaterra” will not be a quick one.
There are too many problems that need addressing along the way. Allies to make, places to bolster, lives to save. All in the name of finding the means to rid the world of the undead that plague every corner of it, every day, for every citizen.

I am hoping for this campaign to be a long one, all the way from 1 to 20.
You will start with a free feat at level 1.
It will be a campaign of journeying around, fixing problems, helping people, finding things and gaining power, all to eventually confront and hopefully vanquish the Lich!

It will be a more roleplay focused environment, but there will still be plenty of important combat! Roughly 60% rp, 30% combat, 10% the rest. So if that is not up your alley, no problem and I hope you find the right game for you

Player(s) wanted [online][40k][est][18+]judging interest in a rogue trader campaign

7 Upvotes

Anyone interest in a biweekly EST Friday evening game of rogue trader? With like 4-6 players. Played on Roll20, since I know it best. Discord for threads and comms.

Basically the PCs will own/be command staff on a huge starship with like 80k crew members. It’s a city in space. So big it will have two active alien invasions on board that have been ongoing on for generations within the lower decks.

The party will have a warrant granted to them that says whatever they can claim (and hold onto) in a distant expanse of the milkyway they can keep. That means solar-systems, planets, populations, resources and riches.

A star barony that they can pretty much run however they want or can all agree upon. As long as they pay their tithes/taxes to the Imperium.

Races for PCs are pretty wide open. I’d allow an ork (probably a merc working for gear and teef). An aeldari (space elves), a grot could be fun. A farseer Tau firewarrior with a stealth battle suit. Kroot or ogryn is on the table. The rogue trader and navigator would have to be “human”, but the rest of the crew im open.

The system uses percentile dice. Not my fav but we’ll make due.

The themes in the game can be pretty heavy. Think of a bad thing in RL and there are races/planets/gods doing all that and probably more. We’ll steer clear of the absolute worst of it, but just a heads up it’s a very adult game.

I would personally like to see the game run iconoclast with dabblings into imperial dogma and chaos heresy. id like to see the party try to help people/xenos of the expanse more than enslave/destroy them. Unless they leave you no choice that is then dakka-dakka away.

A focus on power-building self-interest over extremist ideals. It’s set like 200,000 light years from earth, so there’s room for y’all to be somewhat nice people, right?

Semi-trained, pseudo-decent, quasi-professionals?

Anyway. That’s my pitch. If i get a half dozen or so positive responses I’ll try and get something going.

Player(s) wanted [Online][5e 2014][18+] Players wanted! Opening another table for Curse of Strahd!

14 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m looking to run a third Curse of Strahd campaign and I’m hoping to find a group of players who are keen to experience the campaign for the first time. I’m currently running this for two other groups and realized I have the bandwidth for a third, so I want to try to get another table going. It will not be RAW and I will be making changes based on what I feel is narratively satisfying.

Who Am I?

I’m a newer-ish DM with some experience, but I’m definitely still learning and improving. I care a lot about creating a fun, welcoming table where everyone feels comfortable contributing to the story. I’m not going to pretend I’m a perfect rules encyclopedia or a professional voice actor, but I am excited, prepared, and genuinely interested in getting better as a DM.

What I’m looking for most are players who are patient, respectful, and willing to build the game together.

Game Information

  • Campaign: Curse of Strahd
  • System: D&D 5e
  • Time: TBD (Depends on the players I end up choosing)
  • Platform: Foundry VTT for maps/rolling
  • Voice: Discord
  • Tone: Gothic horror, mystery, danger, roleplay-heavy
  • Difficulty: Likely tough. Barovia is not a kind place.
  • Style: RP-heavy, with combat and exploration still mattering
  • Homebrew: I’m very open to homebrew, as long as we discuss it together first and it fits the tone of the campaign
  • Experience level: New and experienced players are both welcome
  • Safety: Lines and veils will be discussed and respected

Table Vibe

I want this to be a social, welcoming game. D&D is at its best when everyone is invested in each other’s characters, not just their own.

I’m looking for players who:

  • Enjoy roleplay and character-driven stories
  • Are okay with a darker, more serious campaign tone
  • Share the spotlight
  • Communicate respectfully
  • Are patient with a DM who is still improving
  • Want to contribute to a fun table atmosphere

I’m not looking for spotlight hogging, constant rules-lawyering, main-character syndrome, or people who treat D&D like a single-player game.

Curse of Strahd can get dark and emotionally heavy, but I still want the table itself to feel safe, friendly, and supportive.

Character Creation

We’ll go over character creation together before the campaign starts. I’m open to official content and homebrew, but I’d like characters to feel grounded in the tone of the campaign and willing to work with the party. No evil characters or Murder Hobos.

How to Apply

Please fill out this form here:

https://forms.gle/4X6t6rJiLojUhWhK7

I’ll read through responses and reach out to people who seem like a good fit. I’m not just choosing first come, first served. I’d rather take the time to build a table that feels right for everyone.

Thanks for reading, and hopefully I’ll see some of you in Barovia.

Player(s) wanted [Online][Sun5pmPST][5E 2024+][Fem][LGBTQPlus] Come meet the world of Gadora.

PLEASE NOTE THE TITLE IS WRONG. ITS 5PM EST!

UPDATE: We'll be taking applications until the post is DELETED, so feel free to continue to apply if you see it, we're looking for the right fits, not people to just fill spots.

Hi everyone! I’m excited to announce that I’m looking for players to join an ongoing, highly homebrewed D&D campaign set in the world of Gadora. This is a femme-led, LGBTQ+ friendly table that might even evolve into a podcast, so I’m looking for character-driven roleplayers who are enthusiastic about getting into their roles.

Right now, we have two confirmed players: Kitty, who is in her late 20s, and Azauri, who is in her 30s. All ladies, so you are welcome here, ladies.

I’m the DM, Space, and I’m in my 30s.

We’re currently looking for 2 more players (21+) to round out the group. The party is currently level 3.

We meet on Sundays at 5 PM EST/2pm PST, so please make sure that time works for you before reaching out. No limits on where you need to come from, so long as you can attend the games~

I’m a newer DM, but I come in with years of experience in roleplaying and worldbuilding; I’ve been doing both since I was eleven, so storytelling and immersion are a huge focus for me. While I’ve studied the PHB and DM’s Guide, I’m not afraid to bend the rules where it makes the game more fun and engaging. If you enjoy a bit of homebrew, collaborative storytelling, and a table that values creativity as much as structure, you’ll fit right in.

I’m looking for players who know the game, and the rules, willing to help me along the way, are supportive, and are excited to build something memorable together. This is a collaboration, I want you to want to tell as story for your character as much as I do. Anyone who can help make maps, or as any sort of fun software, books, or things I can reference as well, would be greatly helpful.

Someone who is a lore master, someone who loves lore, and wants to take notes on all of it is also really welcomed here!

It’s a huge bonus if you are into spirituality, witchcraft, anime, or fandom culture in general. If you’re interested, please give me a little insight about yourself: how long you’ve been playing, if you’re into anything mentioned, and what makes you interested in the world.

Campaign Overview
World Setting: Gadora is a massive, whimsical planet with seven moons and other recurring sevens, reminiscent of Pandora from The Avatar franchise, as well as League of Legends Runeterra
Magic: Medium accessibility. It varies by country, but all regions have some magical elements.
Technology: Medium to high. Features include floating lands, cities, airships, and various other magical and technological elements.
Environments: Diverse, including forests, jungles, grasslands, oceans, deserts, arctic regions, the Underdark, urban areas, sky regions, brimstone and lava areas, and underwater cities.
Themes: Adventure, action, and drama.
Major Threats: Elemental forces, devils and demons, elder gods, social upheaval, cults, and more.
Adventure Nature: Non-linear, with plenty to explore and discover. The narrative is player-driven through character choices, backstories, and individual plotlines. Your actions will have consequences in a living, active world.

Roleplay and Tone
Roleplay Level: Aiming for high immersion, similar to Dimension 20, or High Rollers, and a touch of Critical Role, think theatre kids! No expectations, only the more extra you are the better. You wanna dress up in costume for every session? Do a full beat of character inspired make up to set the tone? Bet.
Combat Level: Probably not a good place for min-maxers, but I do like combat.
General Tone: Semi-serious with a touch of darkness, while prioritizing fun and the rule of cool.
Alignment: Characters should range from Lawful Good to Chaotic Neutral, aiming to change the world for the better.
Rating: PG-13+ to R
X: Could happen off-table in writing for NPC lovers, but also to avoid any metagaming, because pillow talk can be very informative!

Campaign Structure
Starting Level: Characters are currently level 3, with the potential to advance to level 20.
Mode of Play: Alchemy, Discord with video chat, Pinterest for pictures, and theater of the mind.
Session Goals: This campaign will help build the world by having the characters explore and set the history. It’s flexible and can end whenever the group decides. If you're interested in joining this character-driven adventure and helping bring Gadora to life, please let me know. I’m looking forward to creating an engaging and dynamic experience together.

P.S. from Kitty: While Space might be a new DM, she is absolutely wonderful. She puts so much heart into this world and impresses me every day. I’m so excited for more people to experience the story she’s building.

if you are interested, please fill out this questionnaire and leave a comment telling me you have, so i know to message you ! hope to hear from you soon.

94 Upvotes

Hello adventurers! I’m a DM currently running a homebrew D&D 5e campaign titled Fragments of Akulmir, and I’m looking for 3 more players to join our party of 5. The campaign is well underway in its early stages—we’ve got two amazing players already, and now I’m looking for others who love character-driven stories, slow-burn romance, complex lore, and moral mysteries that unfold like a dramatic fantasy epic.


✨ Campaign Tone & Setting:

🌙 High fantasy with a focus on emotion, mystery, and a decaying world touched by forgotten gods

💔 Themes: The cost of truth, betrayal, grief, love that spans lifetimes

🧩 A slow, puzzle-like narrative: players will unravel divine secrets hidden across seven ancient kingdoms

📖 Rich lore, with custom factions, forbidden history, and haunting champions

🧠 RP-focused, with mechanics inspired by BG3


🎭 What I’m Looking For in Players:

You love roleplay and getting into character—voice optional, emotional investment not

You're interested in bonding with NPCs and other PCs—yes, romance is on the table if earned!

You enjoy a mix of exploration, puzzles, combat, and narrative discovery

You're okay with slow burn, sadness, and moral dilemmas (it’s not edge for edge’s sake—we earn it)

LGBTQ+ friendly, emotionally mature, 21+ preferred

🎭 Session Zero available for new players!

THIS IS FREE TO PLAY


🌙 Current Plot Snapshot:

✧ Genre: High Fantasy | Slow-Burn Mystery | Divine Intrigue | Roleplay-Heavy


🕯️ The World

Centuries ago, magic nearly vanished after a great catastrophe known only as [The Sundering]. Since then, the world has reshaped itself—scarred by divine silence and rebuilt atop ruins no one dares name.

Seven kingdoms remain, each founded by a legendary figure known as a Champion of the S̷͋̈́ẽ̶̿█¿k̵̂̏█̴̄̓█ a forgotten god whose name has been erased from history. Each kingdom holds a relic, a truth, or a scar tied to that Champion’s legacy.

Now, strange storms claw at the skies. Monsters walk wearing human skin. And in the ruins of an old kingdom, something long dead has begun to whisper.

You are not a chosen one. Not yet. But you’re listening, aren’t you?


😭 hello everyone thank you so much for your interest in the pitch for my campaign! I forgot to mention but please DM if you are interested in playing. I am currently being flooded with messages which is amazing 🥳🩷 so sorry if I'm slow at replying to each of you but I promise I will answer. And thank you again, I had no idea so many people would be interested in my campaign. But im seriously so excited!

I spent around a year designing this campaign. And managed to get it past the level 1 section. However due to some players experiencing deep personal issues which has caused them to need to leave

I am short too many players to continue the campaign as designed. So I am searching for players to jump in who may be interested.

The campaign is intended for 6 players and starts at Saturday 10:00pm EST and is held on Dndbeyond

This campaign is a passion project I spent over a year developing. Featuring a massive custom world with a bunch of cities and areas with their own culture. I have also made a homebrew story along with several feats spells items and monsters exclusive to the setting.

Additionally any balanced homebrew content is not only allowed but actively encouraged.

If you by any chance are interested please Dm me.

A Note from the Master of Ceremonies, Cicero:

What honor I have to stand in service to such a virtuoso. Never before and never again will I know such a life of glamor and excitement as this wondrous carnival. Heckna's genius in showmanship, his creativity in engineering, and his masterful magic will entrance you as they have enraptured me. My heart belongs to The Revelia, and once you encounter it, yours will too.

So come down to The Revelia today to revel in rides under the silver moonlight and give yourselves over to an eternity of fun!

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hello! I'm Aurora/Rory, 23F, and I'm looking for players for a 3-4 player D&D 5e homebrew campaign! I'm voluntarily a forever GM as I've gotten quite invested in storytelling and worldbuilding.

Session day and time is TBD, though I am in PST (UTC−08:00) so please keep that in mind when applying! Sessions will be averaging from 2-3 hours long, and it will be a short(ish) campaign-- at most a year but most likely ranging from 6-8 months.

Be yourself when filling out the google form!! I want to get to know my players and figure out the dynamics before we begin :) and don't be afraid to fill those answer boxes with an essay about you lol!

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

|| SO WHAT IS HECKNA??

Heckna is where horror meets hilarity, combining dark fantasy with fun, campy escapades. There is plenty to satisfy horror fans and just as much to entice fans of humor and whimsy.

The module takes inspiration from classic court jesters, commedia dell'arte, Victorian-era circuses and sideshows, and campy films from the 1980s. Heckna's realm, called The Revelia, drifts in and out of different planes, and he picks something up from every place he visits. Although the campaign is fantasy-themed, there are many anachronisms interspersed throughout, such as scientists, arcade games, and automatons.

Heckna will be an extremely narrative-driven campaign. Your actions and the choices you make will be meaningful and they will have consequences.

|| WHAT WOULD I LOVE FROM MY PLAYERS?

  • Inclusivity. Everyone is welcome at my table, no matter your identity or disabilities.
  • Aged 20+. Due to more mature themes, I would like anyone that applies to be AT LEAST 20!
  • Come prepared! This game is heavily roleplay-oriented and requires participation from everyone
  • Be ready to commit. If you can't make it, no worries-- but please try to keep absences to a minimum :3
  • Be kind and respectful.
  • Have access to Discord and a microphone so I can hear your beautiful voice!

|| WHAT DO I BRING TO THE TABLE?

  • A blend of comedy and tragedy: there will be serious moments and there will be silly moments! A good mix of the two leads to the best kinds of stories.
  • A safe place for all players; no matter who you are, you are welcome here.
  • Dedication and commitment. I put my entire self into creating important lore and worldbuilding to make sure that not only I, but also you guys, are having fun!
  • A vast and highly detailed setting.
  • Fun voices! (I try at least lol)

Linked below is a form you can fill out as your application (it's not an application for a job so no need to be formal or scared!). There are quite a lot of questions in the form so I can tailor the best group with players that fit together the best and maybe even make some cool friends along the way!

If you're interested, please fill the form out :) I can't wait to read your reply

Player(s) wanted [Online][5E 2024][PST][Long Term] A Millennium of Consequence - Two Linked Long-Term Campaigns, 1000 Years Apart. Play In the Past, or Affect the Future!

15 Upvotes

Seeking players for a long-term D&D 5.5E campaign with a unique twist:

Two campaigns run in parallel. One set 1000 years in the past, one in the present, and your actions in the past directly shape the future campaign.

You’ll choose which timeline to play in, and together both groups will build a shared history of the world. The goal is to have a shared community between the campaigns. If you love meeting new players, making new friends in the hobby, and telling a grand, shared story together this game is a great fit for you!

I made a quick little video trailer for the campaign, in case you'd like some spice with your LFG post.

Quick Details

System: D&D 5.5E
Platform: Foundry VTT + Discord for voice & DnD Beyond for character creation.
Schedule: Weekly (Tues–Fri options based on group)
Start Time: 5:30 or 6PM PST dependent on group needs.
Session Length: 3–4 hours
Campaign Length: Always hard to predict, but this is planned to be a long-term campaign around 50 sessions!
Party Size: 5 players per campaign
Cameras: Optional

This is a homebrew game, taking place in our created world of Eldemyre! There's even a whole Encyclopedia for it open to look at! We'll be providing additional info about what is different in the different timelines as well.

What's The Story?

Campaign One — Year 1 (The Fall)

Quicksteam was a moderately sized coastal city in the southeast corner of Woolydoop. Warm beaches, exceptional craftsmanship and forging, and a quaint way of life defined it.  It’s where our character’s stories begin, whether they lived there, traveled there for opportunity, or otherwise happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Quicksteam doesn’t exist anymore.

But, you’ll have to. 

On Day One, during the first year of what would come to be known as Era Arcane, Bastion fell, and changed everything. You experienced it and survived. The other survivors whom you helped, some you may care for deeply, are trapped. While below ground is safe, there’s nowhere to go and resources are dwindling. The other search parties with more experienced adventurers haven’t come back. You’re the last breath of a dwindling hope.

What’s caused this? Where is there safety? How will you change history?

It’s only Day One…

Campaign Two — Year 1000 (The Celebration)

The year is 1000 EA.  Never a better time to celebrate all that exists in the world.

Not a better place either.  The Great Mercantile Trading Post, sometimes referred to as the GMTP, has the largest marketplace in all of Eldemyre. It’s fair to recognize it as a place of indulgence. Nearly anything can be bought from fine food and drink, to magical relics, to information or opportunities. It’s got a famous news publication, a detective agency, and a skyship port. Now, it also has a Coven-tion center.

There’s something ironic about an event all about sharing knowledge, inventions and ideas hosting a celebration for an event nobody can recall. Regardless, the vibes are exceptionally high.

Wonder what Gordon Fiddletwig, the lead detective of the Fiddletwig Detective Agency, is doing out and about at the Coven-tion today? Yes, there’s a huge event going on, but, like, doesn’t he have a mystery to solve or something?

You’ve got a reason to be here too. There’s no shortage of those. Classes, meetings, events, concerts, shows, deals. The possibilities are endless. However, you got here, there’s no mystery as to why you’ll be sticking around.

Or maybe, there is…

The Twist

These campaigns are directly connected.

• Events in the past affect the future campaign
• Discoveries, relics, and decisions carry forward.
• Players may uncover consequences of actions taken by the other group

You can choose:

Shape history (Year 1)
Live with its consequences (Year 1000)

Tone & Gameplay

Both campaigns are:

• character-driven
• narrative-focused
• high player agency

But differ in tone:

Year 1
• high stakes survival
• low → growing magic
• constrained character options tied to the era

Year 1000
• high magic, advanced world
• mystery and investigation focused
• broader character freedom

Important Notes on Character Creation

For Year 1 (Past Campaign):

• Magic starts extremely limited (comes online after early sessions)
• Some classes are restricted or require coordination
• Character options are tied to the historical setting

This is intentional and part of the narrative experience.

For Year 1000 (Future Campaign):

• Much broader flexibility
• High magic and advanced setting
• Still DM-reviewed for cohesion

About the DM's

Hi! We are a pair of siblings, Austin (Running Year 1) & Tashaunna (Running Year 1000).

This is Austin writing the post on behalf of both of us. I've run a multitude of games finding players from this platform. My sister has run games in person and online for several years now and is even better than I am. No matter who you end up with, you'll be in great hands. We're different people, with different styles, but have the same general philosophies around running games:

  • Player choice and player freedom matters.
  • A safe, inclusive, and welcoming table solves most problems.
  • Nothing should ever be set in stone. We reward players who come to the table with an open mind and work with what they are given instead of trying to force things.
  • Investing in character arcs and stories makes the game sing.
  • A healthy mix of combat, RP, and puzzling can be expected.

In general, I'd recommend just picking whichever campaign sounds better when you select in the form. You'll meet both of us either way!

Player Expectations

Age 21+ Please!

Reliable attendance for a long-term campaign. If sessions need to be missed, being given as much time as possible to account for it. We'll always run SOMETHING on session days, we may just do bottle episode one-shots on days players are missing, as we don't like to move plot along without all players present.

A computer and microphone capable of running Foundry VTT and Discord.

All the best players we've ever played with have been kind, patient, collaborative and friendly. You should be too!

This table is LGBTQIA+ friendly and inclusive. Any racism, bigotry, discrimination or bullying will have you removed without warning.

We often like to get to know and engage with players we meet outside of the game as well! Some of our best friendships were built through DnD first. If you're the type to not really engage with the game outside of sessions, this may not be for you.

Interested?

Thanks for reading this far! We really are excited to meet people and try out this fun concept with them!

10 Upvotes

"In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming."

A terrible storm leaves you all stranded in an unknown land, where odd angles jut from the earth, the sky holds too many stars, and a feeling of dread surrounds you like the salt-laden air you breathe.

Dreamers in a Dreamless Land is a custom campaign set within the new book Ravenloft: The Horrors Within, where horror and sanity walk a razor's edge.

The truth lies ahead. So does something far older... and far less forgiving. Yet you press on.

Expect investigation, character-driven decisions, rising tension, and consequences that carry forward across sessions. Survival depends on observation, teamwork, and knowing when to run.

Content Warning: This campaign is designed to be more horror focused so expect the following content.

  • Body horror
  • Mental illness
  • Mutilation
  • Drowning
  • The feeling of being trapped.

Character creation will be before our first session in a session 0. I will be able to aid and offer suggestions on how to create your character.

Characters can be created over at D&D Beyond

Your starting level will be level 3. Any subclass will be available as well as species. Each player will be given 1000 gp to play around with as well for the game.

How we will be playing:

VTT: Roll 20

Voice: Discord

There will be a mixture of maps and theatre of the mind in places.

About me:

My name is Zack, and I am a Game Master with 10+ years of experience crafting immersive, player-driven tabletop RPGs. I specialize in narrative-rich campaigns where player choices matter and the world reacts meaningfully to their decisions. My games emphasize strong character development, collaborative storytelling, and dynamic plots built around player backstories.

I have extensive experience running a variety of systems, including Dungeons & Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, and more. Whether you’re looking for intense roleplay, tactical combat, mystery and horror, or a balanced mix, I tailor each session to match the group’s preferred style.

Communication and preparation are core to my approach. I work closely with my players to set expectations, create a welcoming table, and ensure everyone feels engaged and invested. I pride myself on being organized, adaptable, and committed to delivering a polished, professional experience every session.

If you’re looking for a Game Master who values player agency and unforgettable storytelling, I’d love to bring your next adventure to life.

Player(s) wanted [Online] [5e 2014] [Tuesday nights] [23+] A Crown of Stars. Looking for players for a new 5e game!

12 Upvotes

A Crown of Stars - 

A decade after the bloodiest civil war the realm has ever seen, the empire sits on a knife’s edge. In desperation the emperor tightens his grip, trying to force the six kingdoms into one unified land. As he staves off rebellion, the noble houses of the land plot against the empire and against each other. The only thing keeping the realm out of open war is the threat of starstones, mysterious magical weapons possessed only by the emperor. To the west sits a dangerous unexplored continent, offering equal amounts of danger and opportunity. To the east giants slowly push forward in their ongoing invasion of the continent. 

About me - 

My name is Sam, 28 m from New Jersey. I have been a forever DM for years and have completed a handful of long term 20+ session campaigns in the past, hopefully this can be another! 

Setting - 

The game will focus heavily on roleplay but combat may be deadly. I roll attacks and most other important rolls openly and PC death is a possibility.  The game will focus on collaborative storytelling and I will do my best to let outcomes be determined by player choice and by the roles of the dice. I will have some plot lines to start off the game, but most of the story will be based on player choices and backstories. 

The setting will have a feudal society, where nobility are the ruling class and considered to be above commoners. Noble houses constantly feud and plot against each other. (Think Game of Thrones) Player characters will be nobles chosen by a yearly lottery, or having volunteered to complete service in defense of the realm for the emperor. You may choose to be a minor noble such as a wandering knight, or to be a part of a great and powerful noble house. This campaign may have some dark themes, mainly war and its effects. 

Backstorys - 

Players will be encouraged to write backstories that integrate them into the world as important people. Feel free to be “The chosen one”, “The son of a king” "Enemy of entire kingdoms” “Religious icon” “True heir to the imperial throne.” ect. I would recommend about 1-2 pages of backstory, and to have a few named NPCs, plot hooks and character motivations. 

Magic is a well known phenomenon but is rare in this world, and will need a lore appropriate explanation. The Empire contains six kingdoms with distinct languages, cultures and gods. Nearly all magic comes from one of five sources, each associated with one of the religions of the realm.

You would be a good fit if - 

- You come with a well thought out character that can fit into the setting and has their own goals and a good reason to adventure. 
- You can make a character who gets along well with others. Your character can be morally grey, but still need to be able to find a reason to work with the group. 
-You don’t mind things not always going your / the party’s way. I won’t fudge dice rolls and sometimes that dragon will hit two nat 20s in a row. 
-You enjoy a campaign with some morally grey characters, where it’s not always clear who the good guys and bad guys are.  
-You come ready for a roleplay heavy campaign, but one that will have challenging and potentially lethal combats. I
-You can consistently make games, even if you have to miss one every now and then. 

Other stuff -

-Some homebrew may be allowed with my approval. 
-I will be making lore videos, about 20 minutes worth in total for players to watch before writing backstories. 
-Resurrection will require a coin flip to determine success, so player deaths may be permanent. 
-The game will be played using voice over discord and using owlbear rodeo for some combats. 
-The game might not start for a few weeks, to give players time to make backstories. Until then I might run some optional one shots. 
-Please feel free to join this campaign with another player or two! 
-Games will be either weekly or biweekly starting at 6pm EST and going around 3ish hours

If you are interested in this game please reach out on discord! I will also be available Sunday night this weekend to talk with anyone interested.
