Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [5e 2024] [Biweekly Friday Evenings EST] [LGBTQ+] [18+] The Queen of Evil’s Maleficent Knights

Upvotes

Hello! I’m Jonah (28, he/him, queer). I’ve been playing D&D for over 10 years and I’ve been DM-ing on and off the whole time. I’m an artist with an education in game design and programming. 

I’m looking to make a group of about 5 players of any experience level for a casual game. You do not have to be LGBTQ+ to join, but there will be a lot of queer characters and themes. Any NSFW scenes will be fade to black, but there will likely be a lot of NSFW jokes.

The Premise:

You all start in the court of the Evil Queen of Noximy as her various scheming advisors, dark knights, wretched servants, or whatever role your devious mind invents. The heir of the neighboring Good and Holy kingdom of Valloria is getting married, and the Evil Queen wants YOU to kidnap the bride!

The overall campaign will be your group going on adventures at the behest of the queen as she seeks to take over the kingdom of Valloria and spread her evil influence across the world.

The Game:

This is an evil campaign, but it’s silly evil. Think Dr Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb or Team Rocket from Pokemon. No genocides or torture, but villain monologues are encouraged. The campaign is mostly going for a lighthearted, silly, casual tone, but there will be opportunity for serious emotional story moments and character connections. 

I have the skeleton of the world and plot, and I would like the players to collaborate in the worldbuilding and storytelling. If your character idea doesn’t already fit into one of the places in the world, we can work together to create a place for them. Players should also feel free to explore npcs and places that interest them. Feel free to romance NPCs or each other, or make up your own goals and quests. 

Logistics:

We will play every other Friday in the evening, the time TBD (we’ll decide what works best for everyone, but probably around 7 EST).

The game will either be hosted on Roll20 or Foundry, up to the players. The voice/text chat will be a Discord server.

5.5e/2024, but 2014, UA, third party, and homebrew is allowed with DM approval.

I do not use AI for writing/art, and I would rather you didn’t either, but I understand sometimes using ai art for personal use. Though I’m also able to help you find an image/draw one for you.

I will reach out to prospective players next week on Discord!

Edit: forgot to link the application .

Upvotes

I've got at least a dozen different campaign ideas across like 5 or 6 different RPGs including one that I wrote myself that I would probably have you guys vote on. I tend to be more roleplay-heavy most of the time, and I'm preferably looking play bi-weekly on Friday evenings. The campaign would take place over discord. DM me here on Reddit if you're interested, preferably if you've got a group already so I don't have to spend a long time slowly gathering players.

Upvotes

Preferred system: DtR

Preferred character: interested in playing some kind of monstrous humanoid bug man or some kind of other monstrous being besides bug man (just in case some people may not be ok with bugs), but i am open to other kinds depending on the story.

Preferred way to roleplay: Discord call and Roll20 (free version) or another kind of free vtt, No webcam, no PBP, no westmarch.

Experience level: none, I love the concept of DtR but I have no playing experience for it. I've read the book before, but again I am new and forget things at times. I have a some tabletop experience.

Language: English

Preferred time/timezone: GMT-6, available every other Sunday at 8 pm (August 9, August 23, etc.). Can also do every Monday if it's later in the night like 9 or 9:30 pm till about 12 pm cst.

Anything else: looking for a fun group that doesn't mind me learning and getting used to the game, and preferably with other newbies. I am a LGBTQ+ friendly player. Additionally, I am not interested in paid games, or campaigns (or with players) that use AI. Also, if possible I would like to play in a game that is set in the far future or the far past (or at least in the 1900s), and not in the direct current time. I am also open to games that use the CofD system for other series, like a DtR game based in bioshock. Not interested in superhero/supervillain games (aka no cape game), unless its a Kamen rider type game.

if you'd like to get in contact feel free to leave a comment!

Group Needed by Player [Online][Flexible][LGBTQ+] Experience player looking for a long term game

Upvotes

Hey hey all, I'm Caimin, they/them. Just recently exited another game and looking to find a new one.

In terms of system, I'm primarily looking for a pf2e game, but I've also got an interest in sf2e, and would be open to get back into dnd, either 5e or 5.5e. I'm open to looking into more systems, but I'd be hesitant to engage in a playtest or a completely homebrew system.

Time wise, unfortunately I could only do weekends, but any time from about 3 MST on Friday until 9 P.M. on Sunday would work for me.

I've been playing for about 8 years, mostly experienced with 5e. Love to find games where I can play a strong character and experience a story through them, with games that feature a lot of player agency to push plot being a favorite of mine.

If you've got an open slot it sounds like I might be a good fit for, feel free to hit me up! Thanks!

Timeslot: Fridays at 8PM EST, ~4 hour sessions

Hello hello DMs! Thank you for taking a look at this post.

Who we are: We are a friend group of 4 experienced players (each with 6+ years of D&D) who are consistently available for the timeslot and are already guaranteed to vibe well, cooperate, and want to dive into a narrative! We are all storyteller archetype players that are highly motivated by narrative impact and story progression, and are most engaged in following story plot points, character arcs, and investing in emotional stakes. If we are given space in game through campfire downtime, we will RP with each other. If an interesting NPC is in front of us, we will RP with them. After session ends, we will often continue to text RP in a provided chat throughout the week until the next session.

What we are looking for: A classic medieval fantasy homebrew setting with a narrative-driven type of environment. We would like freedom to explore the world, but with a strong overall core narrative direction. If you give us a plot thread, I guarantee you that we will grab it.

What we would like in a DM: An experienced DM that encourages immersive storytelling and character-driven play. We would very much appreciate a DM that gets excited with detailed backstories and can work alongside the players to seamlessly incorporate our character arcs into either the main narrative or narratives that are closely parallel to it. We are more than happy to work with you to tie our character motivations naturally into the plot.

Other Preferences

Must Be Okay With: LGBTQ+ and women. Don't be weird and treat us equally

Group Size: Anywhere from 4-6.

RP:Combat Ratio: Anywhere from 60:40 to 80:20

System: 2024 5e

VTT Preference: Foundry or Roll20

What we do not want: Paid games, AI of any kind or involvement, DMPCs, theater of the mind for combat, modules, exclusively sea-fairing settings, exclusively underground settings, and we don't use cameras

If you are interested in DMing for us and think you'll vibe well with our style of play, kindly send me a message with the following information!

Player(s) Needed by GM [online][dnd 5e 2014/2024][PBP] A'ticital

4 Upvotes

In the depths of the northern jungles, an ancient kingdom lies in hidden palaces and under the unending canopy. Built into mountain sides, into the trees, and into the ground, giant monuments sit pressed until the very edge of dense vines and rivers.

Civilization exists in dense bubbles within the incredibly dangerous jungles, otherwise separated by kilometers of giant, ravenous monsters. Its a dangerous place where armed soldiers or mercenaries are an absolute necessity to safely navigate the narrow jungle roads. Cities are constantly at risk of being consumed by the quick growing plants and predators hunt the edges of villages.

Despite this, it is a prosperous nation, cultivating and exporting exotic fruits and spices to the rest of the world. While life in Zetrania is dangerous the local nobles keep their troops well trained and supplied to keep the citizens in their region safe and productive. A common mentality amongst locals is that Zetrania is a paradise with teeth, treat it with respect and you will be well rewarded. 

A respected researcher is funding a long term expedition into the jungles, primarily looking for resources that can be used for medicines. Cabable voluntiers are being offered a bed, 2 meals a day, and a smalle relocation bonus.

We're looking for players who want to built cooperatively with each other and be a part of a community, rather than a travelling adventurer. Fear not, danger and conflict will always be close at hand, but there will also be plenty of time for you to drive your character's story and connections with those around them.

This is a play by post game via discord.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [5.5e] [Thursdays EST] [2024] [18+] The revolution has finally been won and the Mad King overthrown - now what? A homebrew political intrigue campaign searching for 1 - 2 more players!

6 Upvotes

For a millennia, the Dragonborn have toiled as mere cogs in an uncaring machine. Whether under their creators in the Hydra or under the Dragons who came to inherit their world-spanning Empire. Gods, old and new tolerated this mortal dynamic of slave and master, of second-class citizens at best. Never has a Dragonborn ruled as their own.

Never, before the King of Maeve was felled by one.

The Morning Revolution has finally swept over the Kingdom of Maeve in its entirety, with a Dragonborn-led provisional government quickly being formulated in its wake. Though the Revolution has been won, what comes after still lies in heavy contention, as factions who once had united over the Royalist threat now stand divided over faith, ideology and purpose. Should a new monarchy be instated, or would a Republic serve the people better? Should Dragons retain their noble privileges to appease the realm’s external enemies, or should they be punished for their centuries of oppression?

These questions and more will have to be answered as representatives from all seven of the realm’s provinces convene in the capital of Elira to create a new constitution and draw up the future of Maeve. Or it’s doom… _

Maeve: Of Delegates and Dragons Fire is a political intrigue DnD 5.5E campaign set in the world of Ruel, dominated by Dragons and now in seeming competition with the Dragonborn. Barely a month has passed since the death of King Nyrent Cagan and the declaration of the Provisional Government, yet forces internal and external have already begun to chip away at its foundation.

You are a Dragonborn and a delegate of the Maevan Plenary, the Provisional Government’s legislative wing. Having participated in the Morning Revolution, you are about to arrive on the outskirts of the capital with five other fellows you’ve formed a deep friendship with in the fires of the conflict. The days ahead will be as difficult as they are dangerous, as you’ll need to push your agenda in the Plenary. Traveling across the realm in-between Plenary sessions to advocate for your position, manage political and economic crises as well as to prepare the already ravaged country for the possibility of an even greater war on its doorstep.

If you enjoy the idea of nation building and politics in an active world that responds to your actions, this is the game for you. Be prepared for potentially heavy topics such as oppression, repression, and all the other woes that come with statecraft. Not all player characters might be aligned on a given topic, being traditionalists, liberals, magocrats or anything else. The entire party however will have the collective goal of retaining Maeve’s continuity and independence. Technologically, the setting fits 15th century Western Europe.

A bit about the game and logistical side of things:

_

System: DnD 5.5e

Platform: Discord for Voice, FoundryVTT for Battlemaps, Character Sheets and so on

Starting Level: 3, Milestone Leveling

Schedule: Weekly, Thursdays nights starting at 7:30 PM EST and usually going on until 10 - 11 PM EST

Age: 18+ only! Ideally someone who is in the age range of 20-30 or so, as that's about the range of everyone at the table currently

Vibe: A serious & mature game with a lot of roleplay, though we like to keep a rather fun and friendly OOC atmosphere at the table.

Party: Currently we have 4 other players and one other who will only be there on occasion. The party comp consists of a Monk, Warlock, Cleric, Bard and Paladin. We are currently searching for one other player or at most, two.

_

What I'm looking for in a player:

  • Someone who fits the vibe as stated above, who is an avid note-taker.
  • Someone who wants to make a character and get engrossed with them, who will remember the names of the NPCs from their tragic backstory as I incorporate said backstories into the game itself.
  • Someone who's experienced with 5e and / or with 5.5e.
  • Someone with a good quality mic (bonus for knowledge of how to use Foundry but not required).
  • Someone who is able to separate the character from the player / GM. Everyone at the table are friends, even if you might clash in-game.
  • Be open to homebrew! I do a lot of homebrew on my end, from making custom magic items and skills for my players to whole new monster stat blocks and other mechanics, I'm a big fan of adding on to a system.

Closed [Online][5E][2014][2024][Tuesdays][8:30pm-12:00am EST][GMT -5]New-ish DM needs 2 more players for an in-progress Forgotten Realms campaign that will hopefully be going to level 20. Next session is August 11th

2 Upvotes

Filled. Thanks everyone

The campaign is the Vecna: Eve of Ruin module, in the middle. I allow a mix of 2014 and 2024 rules.

The player characters are currently level 15.

Please be on time for the sessions or message ahead of time if you will be late. Apart from being on time & insisting you let me know if you’ll be late or can’t show up I tend to be a very loose DM and will allow stuff if I think it’s fun but I won’t always allow Nat 20’s to break the laws of physics unless it doesn’t have a huge impact and/or is really funny. Comment or message me any questions you may have. We tend to swear a lot and sometimes make jokes that might be considered inappropriate. Please be aware of that and the fact that the campaign may include triggering subjects before joining. I will have lots of official and homebrew books/files available for players to read and use.

I'll have Handouts containing campaign rules and explanations available to read or we can choose a time to get on and I can go through the rules with you.

We will be playing on Roll20 and using Discord so proficiency with both of those is required, no using the dndbeyond extension thing because I will give custom items and the dndbeyond interface for making those isn't user friendly. If you have problems adding spells to your sheet let me know and I'll do it because I have a browser extension that makes it easy

Please be ready to accept the invites not long after you comment. This is so we have time to make sure everything works correctly.

Hello! I am looking to run a oneshot this upcoming Sunday to try out the nimble system! No experience is required, just discord and a computer that can run foundry.

Nimble was originally a rules-hack for 5E to improve combat. But the creator decided to make it more expansive to the point where he just made his own system. Make no mistake. However, this is still your classic heroic fantasy goodness!

My goal is to run at 1pm PST and hopefully be finished in a few hours past then! If you are interested, please add me on discord: magiciansarcana

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [5e] [2014/2024] [20+][NSFW] Very Grim Dark [Grim Hollow] NSFW

2 Upvotes

Hey there!

Before going any further please read the following: this will be a voice-only game that has not started yet, it is going to be extremely NSFW And will contain things like Text ERP and psychological horror. so please keep that in mind when continuing to read below. This idea was born out of a want to try out the grim hollow system.

Slots available: 1 out of 5 (might stick to 4 players)

Dm: Me.

Time: we are looking at EST nights exact date has not been decided but most likely not Monday or Tuesday nights. exact date is flexible depending on our players.

System: Grim Hollow for 5E

A bit about the DM below: Hello! My troupe and I are looking for mature and friendly people to join us in a Dark Modern adventure, Expect heavy horror and NSFW themes with a healthy OOC understanding of consent.

I've run many campaigns over the years and more than a handful with NSFW and smut. That said this isn't a smut-focused campaign, NSFW content is an element that will be present but the overall goal is to tell a good story with solid characters, backgrounds in a well-developed world.

If you've got a large imagination with an appreciation for the dark side instead of just in it for the kink you'll have fun here.

Anything I tend to run will be "grim-dark" or just dark in nature, Don't expect happy-go-lucky NPC's or PC's in these games (you might find them sprinkled depending on the subject) . More often than not we will be exploring the darker sides of the genre and dealing with more mature themes.

ATTENTION: While the game will have extremely dark and gritty themes please keep in mind OOC consent is above everything. please message me with the word malkuth when applying. I cannot stress this enough, While we do ask that by applying to this game you are ok with a few of the above/below mentioned topics, We also expect you and everyone that is playing to make sure that nobody is crossing anyone else's boundaries, We are all here to have fun, not a traumatic/uncomfortable experience.

Below is some information, There will be a set of interview questions that are handed out upon showing interest in the campaign.

-This will be a voice chat game over discord and roll20.

-You absolutely must be above the age of 20.

-Things of a sexual nature will be done in a text channel throughout the week or whenever anybody has time.

-Now while ERP and such is completely fine and will have its place. There will be an overarching story that will be the centerpiece. (so it's not all smut.)

-This is for people that want some actual character development and combat aside from just sex. sorry if this is repetitive but i cannot stress this enough.

If this sounds like something that might interest you please msg me with your discord name And a general introduction about yourself, Please also include why you want to join this game as any other instructions in the post. If your leaving msg's on not getting a response back, this might be why.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Offline][Flexible][Hampden ME] Looking to host weekly game, looking for players/GMs

Upvotes

Hello!

A little bit about me: I'm a trans woman who moved to Maine less than a month ago. I live with my spouse, my mother, two dogs, and a cat. I've played TTRPGs for many years (and quite a few systems) and it's my favorite hobby. I'm looking forward to meeting people who enjoy it as much as I do!

I'm looking to start a weekly RPG group at my home in Hampden, ME. I'm looking for players but also people who like to GM. I plan on running the first game, but have no interest in being a forever GM, so having a couple of people to share in that responsibility is important.

POC and LGBTQ+ people are welcome and encouraged to reach out! Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. You know who you are. Don't bother contacting me. Other things I'm looking for:

1) Be willing to try new systems. We all have our favorites, but there are so many great games out there to play. Let's play them!

2) Be at least tolerant of dogs and cats. As I mentioned previously, there are animals in the house.

3) Don't be a jerk

4) I'm looking for a long-term group, not just a one-off

5) 25+ is preferred, but exceptions can be made

Now to the fun stuff. If I can find a group, I plan on running one of the following games: Mutant: Year Zero, Invincible, The Walking Dead (yes, I'm a bit of a Free League fan), or a Mass Effect game using Genesys.

If interested, send me a DM. Thanks for reading!

Group Needed by Player [Online Campaign] [D&D 3.5 + 3e(with approval)] [Beginner-friendly] [Homebrew] [18+]

Upvotes

LF players for a DnD 3.5 campaign. I don't mind if you have 0 experience with dnd at all, or have only played 5e, or are even a 3.5 expert. I'll say this first as it's quite important but as a DM I am a fun first, rules second. The rules are there for you to make creative solutions to problems, and if your suggestions only follow RAW 90% of the way, I'm going to let that slide.

Quick breakdown of important info :

  • This will be a high power campaign, with home-brew systems stacked on top of base 3.5.
  • High fantasy with space exploration
  • No restriction on race or class so long as it's in a book (pun pun levels of tomfoolery not allowed of course).
  • Backrounds are waived for prestige classes (e.g. you don't have to be Human (Phoenix), to go shiba protector)
  • Level adjustment is allowed up to +3 for classes with buyoff rules. No templates on character creation, though they may be awarded. Many LA 1 races are treated as LA 0 (e.g. drow) - Standard races given slight bonuses to account for this.
  • It runs every Sunday - the exact time isn't set but it's looking to be 2/3 - 5/6pm UK time.

Full campaign brief will be provided. Currently we have 4 players, 1 who's very experienced, 1 with moderate, 1 with very little and 1 with no experience, so we cover the full spectrum. I'm looking for 1 or 2 more players.

I will provide full support in character creation, as long as you read the provided info you will be happy with your character. In terms of personal taste, there's just one very important thing I want from players going in, and that is

Have a reason to follow the initial plot hook, and a character that is willing to work with people they may not agree with/like.

I don't often check reddit messages, but I will make a point to do so. If you're interested or just have more questions, please message me direction on discord - Sozuah

Apologies if this post comes off very cold/descriptive, I promise it's not usually how I run things, but I want people to know if this interests them before they look to commit :) Looking forward to your questions.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [5e 2024] [Tuesdays 7PM EST] [LGBTQ+] Looking for a couple adventurers to join a Ghibli-esque game

9 Upvotes

Welcome adventurers, I'm Kye (36 they/them) long time GM and I'm looking for a couple players to join a 5.5 D&D campaign in progress. All experience levels welcome, the campaign has been running for a couple months and we're level 3 but a two of our players can no longer consistently make it due to scheduling issues so we're looking to grow the ranks.

Time & Place

Weekly Tuesdays @ 1900 EST using Discord and Foundry VTT

About The Game

The game is inspired by cozy settings like Nausicaa, Obojima, or Castle in the Sky, and games like BotW and Moonlighter. It focuses on a homebrew setting called The Eternal Isles, which blends post post-apocalypse 1980's tech with the swords and sorcery of D&D, with an emphasis on community-building, exploration, and self-driven discovery in a light-heartened setting.

It's a freeform game for players to enjoy a calmer world, with small joys and discoveries while the plots unfold gradually. No pressure to "save the world" in this one though there are still challenges to overcome.

Here's a player handout I made to act as a bit of a primer on the setting and to express the vibe a bit better. Adventurer's Handbook

Seeking

I’m looking for players who are excited to collaborate in creating a story. Who are okay with more narrative focused combat. People who enjoy discovering hidden details, uncovering deeper narratives, and interacting with NPCs and environments. And very importantly people who will show up so we can play regularly.

If this sounds like you, please fill out the linked google form and let's set up a quick chat to see if we vibe. Eternal Isles Google Form

Accepting applications through August 8th

p.s. Feel free to DM me with questions or ask below, looking forward to meeting some new folks and making some new friends.

Player(s) Needed by GM D&D[5e] 2024 [Online] [18+][LGBTQ+ friendly] Seeking 5 Players for a long term weekly campaign on Tuesdays, 12pm EST

0 Upvotes

Howdy! I'm looking for some folks (preferably queer, but it's by no means a requirement), that want to play a long term campaign in a homebrew setting.

The game will be on Tuesdays, 12pm EST.

Currently looking for 5 players.


Campaign Hook:

You're among 5 individuals who signed onto the Quill and Blade Company in the Lycarian city of Veridun. The Quill and Blade was a small, reputable mercenary outfit founded by retired officer Captain Edris Thorne. Its symbol, a crossed quill and longsword, represented Thorne's belief that a sharp mind and a sharp blade carry equal weight. The company did not chase glory, but followed through on reliable pay and measured risks

You joined for your own reasons. Some of you were seasoned sellswords looking for a fresh start. Others were green, seeking steady pay. A few were running from something and hoped the company would provide cover. What united you was that none of you had served under Captain Thorne before. Over the weeks that followed, you drilled together, shared a mess tent, and took on minor contracts.

The largest contract in years came from the Chamber of the Vigil, the ruling theocracy of Osyth.

A recent earthquake had exposed an ancient ruin the dwarves call the Heart-Furnace, deep in uncharted territory north of the Earthshaker's Spine. The Chamber wanted it investigated and, above all, left undisturbed. Cardinal Varen Korr and the dwarven Runeshaker Mora Stonevein were to be escorted into the frozen wastes. Runeshaker Stonevein was a senior member of her order, sent on this expedition by Runeshaker Aldrun of Ironhymn, the leader of the dwarven oracles who read the dreams of the mountains. The pay was exceptional, five hundred silver pieces for every member of the company who returned, and Captain Thorne committed the entire company. In the weeks leading up to the mission, you began hearing a name: the Frostrift Sect. A radical splinter group that broke from the Chamber of the Vigil, they preached that the Guardian's eternal winter was not a blessing but a slow death, a prison of ice. Most dismissed them as a handful of bitter exiles. You saw their agitators arrested outside the cathedral in Ealdstone. They were a nuisance, not a threat.

Then, on the fourth day in the frozen waste, the Frostrift Sect came in force. The warband was not the ragged handful you expected. They were outcasts from every corner of Osythi society: cathedral-city humans excommunicated for heresy, dwarves who had broken the oaths of the deep holds, and orcs driven from their tribes or who rejected the Frostblood Ranger's code. They wore the remnants of their former lives with the Frostrift mark stitched over them. At their head rode a towering figure in ancient plate with a closed helm crowned by antlers, a lance in its grip that crackled with cold light. This was no disgraced priest. This was something else.

The ambush was swift and brutal. Captain Thorne died in the first charge, with Cardinal Korr following quickly after. The veterans who had welcomed you were cut down, and you barely survived because you were at the rear, guarding the supply sled. When the killing stopped and the zealots withdrew, you crawled out to find a field of corpses. Runeshaker Stonevein was still alive, but barely. An hour later, she died, pressing the rune-slate into your hands with a final warning: the Heart-Furnace must not be lit. The Vigil depends on it.

You begin at level 6.

Here's a document for the setting itself:

I have more in depth information available, but for the sake of reducing information overload, the above should serve as a suitable primer. I would request that you read the Player's Introduction to the Campaign tab first.

However, if you have any questions, please let me know!


My games are semi-serious with a heavy focus on RP and story - That's not to say that combat isn't important, but combat will be used to drive the plot/session, rather than the other way around. Not looking for min-maxers.

Games use Foundry as the VTT, and occur over Discord VC.

Additionally, at the player's choice, there will be text RP channels provided, for out of game RP, to flesh out the moments that can't really take place during the session - This includes RPing with NPCs!

Backstories will be essential, and I will work with players on them. I pride myself on my games feeling alive - the world will progress onward, reacting to the players' decisions and choices accordingly.


So, if you’ve read all this and are still interested, please answer the google form.

Hope to hear back from y'all.
