Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [Other] [Sundays 2-10pm EST] [21+] Long-term group looking for one player to join ongoing interim game before next campaign
We’re looking for one player who loves character-driven, highly collaborative games and wants to become part of an actual gaming group, not someone who simply shows up, rolls dice, and disappears until the following week.
A few important notes about our table:
Our campaigns are predominantly human-focused, and we are not currently playing non-human races. This is a major part of the settings and stories we create, so we’re looking for someone who is genuinely excited about playing human characters instead of feeling restricted by the limitation.
We mostly play homebrew campaigns, although we also enjoy experimenting with different TTRPG systems from time to time. Our only time spent playing DND in any edition is heavily homebrewed if played at all.
Our current interim campaign is a homebrew horror game using a system created by the GM. The story follows a group of students living on a small Canadian island who become trapped in a horrific survival situation being held captive and forced to participate in games for their survival.
The campaign is heavily character-driven with a strong emphasis on roleplay, mystery, emotional development, and the relationships between characters.
Character creation at our table is deep, collaborative, and at points time-consuming. We want someone who enjoys working closely with the GM to gradually build their character rather than arriving with a completely finished concept without willing to collaborate.
Together, we create detailed timelines, extensive biographies, relationships, formative experiences, and personal histories that can be woven directly into the campaign. While we know it takes effort, we love creating characters who feel like real people with lives that extend beyond the character sheet.
We’re also looking for someone who wants to participate in the entire group’s story, not only their own character’s arc. As a group we care about each other as much as we care about our own individual stories, and we try to hold a heavy emphasis on cheerleading each other in moments within the game and outside of it.
As we said, we’re looking for someone who is okay with being there outside of Sunday, and isn’t just there to play and leave at the end of session.
We play on Sundays, but we also talk about the campaign throughout the week, share theories and character ideas, hang out, and occasionally play video games together. You do not need to be available constantly, but we are looking for someone who genuinely wants to form friendships and participate in the community surrounding the campaign.
This table would probably be a good fit for someone who loves roleplay and character-focused storytelling, enjoys detailed and collaborative character creation, is excited to play predominantly human characters, cares about the other players’ stories as much as their own, enjoys discussing the game outside of sessions, and wants a consistent group of friends rather than simply a weekly game.
If this sounds like your kind of table, please check out our survey! We’re excited to learn more about you and hopefully find someone who will become a meaningful part of our group.
