Description

The Astrological Pontificate is an interconnection of planets under the rule of the theocratic order known as "The Gatekeepers". Travel between planets is only possible during extremely rare planetary alignments known as Conjunctions that only happens once every few century. After 327 years it is finally time for another conjuncture. In just a few hours all the planets of the Astrological Pontificate will align, opening up an opportunity for you to go off-world. You've been selected / volunteered to settle on Golgotha, a previously uninhabitied and desolate desert planet. The Gatekeepers sent out a small convoy to survey the planet in the last Conjuncture. The reports speak of the remnants of an ancient, cosmic war, and dunes littered with petrified skyscraper-sized skeletons of dead titans and aberrations. These bones contain crystallized marrow, a highly volatile magical battery that can power any machine for eons. For 327 years the powers that be has ben biding their time, waiting for this moment. Now it's a race against the clock, every political power in the Astrological Pontificate wants to get it's hands on the marrow. "He who controls the marrow, controls the Pontificate." Your part in this "Marrow-rush" is still uncertain. One thing is certain, what awaits you on the other side of the portal is a lawless, dangerous world with flora and fauna beyond your wildest comprehension. Will you join hands with a political faction? Attempt to overthrow the Gatekeepers? Form a posse of bandits who hide on the outskirts of civilization? Delve deep into the depths of Golgotha on the hunt for treasure and power? Hello, my name is Fredrik. I'm 28 years old and from Sweden. I don't have a lot of experience as a DM or with DnD. I'm looking for 3-4 players, preferably age 25+. Beginners are extra welcome as we can learn together, but I won't turn away seasoned roleplayers for that reason alone. This is a sandbox-style campaign, the more you put into it, the more you'll get in return. In session 0 we will create characters and figure out what your groups longtime goals will be. All official content, and some unofficial content available on DNDbeyond is available for the campaign. We will be using AboveVTT, DNDbeyond and Discord. You need a browser that supports the addon AboveVTT, for example Chrome or Firefox. No AI Allowed. Please apply using this link. Log in to view We will play sundays 19.00 CEST/CET

D&D. DM is looking for the players (16-18+)

Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
Roleplay focused
Conversation, character and story take up most of the table time.
Weekdays only, a group decides on day & time Most people will probably play between 16:00 – 21:00 (GMT+0) Will be played in Discord voice chat, "Theatre of the Mind" playstyle (means no VTT) My Discord (weebseatshit) *PREMISE* You are dragged into a dangerous encounter together with other unlucky ones. Now you are bonded whether you want it or not. Since you are a witness, some people want you dead, watch your back(s) & trust no one It's a Forgotten Realms based, custom (homebrew) campaign with an emphasis on story, characters & adventures Spells become cantrips Some spells that affect game's balance & world, may be forbidden. It'll be discussed Instead of HP you have healthbars, & you don't know how big are your enemies healthbars Healthbars are rather "cinematic". Depending from how much dmg you receive, i'll adjust your condition. But in general: 6 HP: Sorcerer, Wizard 8 HP: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Monk, Rogue, Warlock 10 HP: Fighter, Paladin, Ranger 12 HP: Barbarian Only these races are allowed: Human, Elf (Moon, Wood), Dwarf, Goliath, Tiefling (Purple, Pink, Blue), Tystling (a human with cat ears (& eyes)) Artificer & Psion aren't allowed I'll describe locations & looks with little to no detail Just like with the books, i'd prefer that every player imagined their own stuff (& because there may be an info that player may not get or just ignore) A tystling is similar to a cat Monochrome darkvision Enhanced senses: smell, hearing, vision, touch & balance Soft step: walking is almost noiseless (unless a tystling has something noisy on), running is slightly quieter comparing to other races A tystling is shorter than an elf, but taller than a dwarf A tystling is slim like an elf, but lighter than an elf, with smaller muscles. That makes a tystling even more agile & dexterous than an elf, but it's very hard for a tystling to lift or carry medium heavy things

Where Paths Converge

Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
Newbie friendly
New players are welcome, and nobody expects you to know the rules beforehand.
This is a beginner friendly and open campaign where the players get to decide on what they want to do whilst playing.  The world lore revolves around the dead 3, which are the 3 gods that share the throne of death after the old god of the dead resigned. The world has and will slowly become worse and worse off whilst the dead 3 fight for power in the material plane. Additionally I am trying to have a kind of psychological horror feeling when in comes to this campaign  We play for around 3-4 hours, often with a short break and every session starts at 8pm cet, or to be very specific, Swedish time. We use a discord channel for verbal communication during our sessions and it also works for keeping notes, recaps and just general hanging out with the other players outside of sessions If you're interested, please send me a short message request, maybe a short description of you: pronouns, age and most importantly how you are as a player. And when I see your message I will accept and give you my discord username for continued contact and in order to add you to our server channel If this campaign isn't for you, I wish you the best of luck finding one you want to and can join, have a wonderful day/night! ❤️

The Somnium Shard |5.5e DnD| Long-Term Sandbox

Paid game
The Game Master charges a fee to run the game.
Combat focused
Fights, tactics and initiative take up most of the table time.
Welcome to the Somnium Shard. A sundered paradise; knowledge, gods and power's all known throughout the land, its history coveted by lost tomes, cosmic knowledge and crazed minds. With earliest carvings detailing a different world that may have been the Shard's muse, the inspiration for reality. However not all could be replaced, and the world's panorama was in its own natural discourse, with the residents at home. With that overly grand intro done welcome to my personal world, a multi-year labour of love that I'm still working on with every session, a sandbox type world for players to discover, learn about and influence as they desire. Designed as an open campaign for players to fit into as they wish, follow the threads of their backstory, or start a questline that leads to them swearing loyalty to a kingdom. Whatever it is you feel you want to do in a fantasy world I'll accommodate it as well as I can. However do not think that this means everything is free, the Somnium Shard is still a living and breathing world, thievery, murder and the sort will have consequences, as will trying to steal that magical artifact. You'll have to contend with mages scrying on you, rangers tracking you and bounty hunters after you if you upset the wrong people. So come and join the adventure, see where your characters can take you, how they can evolve and develop in this world with a DM that can handle whatever you feel like throwing at him.
