Description

Got a group you have been a forever DM for? Want to step back into the roll of a player? Bring your players and yourself over - let me take over the heavy lifting and join in a long term epic campaign... and take notes for me :) System: PF2e Slots: 3-4 (ideally I would join YOUR group that just needs a DM and has played together for a long time already and just want a new DM) Requirements: 25+ age, no PF2e experience required, but you should have TTRPG experience to know what kind of player you are and what you enjoy (I don't mind new players, I just want more of actors and you won't know what you are until you play) Time and Frequency: weekly (evenings, I am CST), Sunday nights ideally Platforms: Discord and Foundry Details: Come explore and experience the world of Aurelia - an epic fantasy world and story broken up into 4 stand alone seasons, ultimately taking you from level 1 to level 20 over the course of several years (each season is ~6 levels and takes 6-12 months). The campaign(s) are epic in the lord of the rings style with world-ending consequences and grand quest lines. Serious tones on the table with fun above table. Somewhere between low and high magic (there are not floating cities). Homebrew world / monsters / items / story - but the player species, classes, feats, etc are all standard by the books.  I have a full handbook detailing the world for those interested. Campaigns have been ran around 6 times now with different players... so you are not the first to play through it. Hundreds of scenes, probably thousands of NPCs, and even detailed maps for you to drool over. We have built this over a decade of games and play. I value Actors (role-players) at the table, although the campaign is probably a 60/40 RP/combat split... serious on the table characters with fun above table.  For myself, I am a story-first DM who believes in the rule of cool and leaning into characters and their backstories. Every party that has ran these campaigns has experienced it differently - sometimes with different BBEGs due to how things played.  That story is the fun. DM me for more information if this sounds like what your group wants and is looking for. This will be the 7th party to go through this campaign.

Check out the page over at StartPlaying when you're ready to get started! Check it out here! Have you ever watched an anime where an adventurer's guild gets introduced and then is completely ignored? Did you think to yourself, "Wow, wouldn't it have been cool if they'd actually done something with the adventurer's guild..?" Well, want no more! This will be an adventure structured around guild life, ranked missions, anime vibes, and the rule of cool. There will be a lot in the way of combat and plenty of opportunities to show off your build while exploring ancient ruins, ransacking big, custom dungeons, and probably being a menace to a corrupt government official or two. Inspired by modern and old school fantasy anime, alike (think Slayers, Lodoss War, and Berserk as well as DanMachi, Shield Hero, and Goblin Slayer). Everything will happen in a custom setting, on a continent called Mirth that has an epic apocalyptic backstory and a cast of exciting and eccentric NPCs to set up for epic campaigns. This game is welcome to anyone who wants to play Pathfinder 2e for the first time or the fiftieth. If you love Pathfinder's combat, awesome anime fights, and a touch of anime power fantasy, then you're invited to join the Mirth Hero's Guild. Come become the biggest, baddest dude in the room and then make sure everyone knows it! *** Play-by-Post is a low-stress, highly-rewarding format and I love helping people get a grasp on it. Do you want to join a campaign but your availability prevents you from committing regularly? Does engaging at your own pace throughout the week without the pressure of the moment and with consistent Gamemaster support sound like something you'd enjoy. Well you're in the right place! The Play-by-Post (PbP) format is nearly as old as D&D and is a rewarding way to engage in this fantastic pastime. While it is true that the comradery of the kitchen table is lost in PbP, you gain the ability to plan without pressure, to refine your roleplay, to research your actions. Many see Play-by-Post as more immersive than live games, that the Theater-of-the-Mind is more easily engaged without the typical distractions of the table. Expect 1-3 posts a day from me, during the week. That means mechanically or narratively significant posts that move combat and/or the story along.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown - Kingmaker

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.
"The Stolen Lands have long been the domain of bandits and monsters, but no longer! Your party has been granted a charter to explore these wilds, defeat its dangers, and build a brand new nation. Yet not everyone welcomes you as new neighbors, and powerful supernatural forces have their own plans for the region. Can you defeat your kingdom’s enemies and become one of the greatest new nations in the world?" In this adventure you'll be tasked with founding a new kingdom to bring order to a wild and untamed region, face many threats to your rule, and rise to prominence in the eyes of neighboring nations. You'll also be able to do so using especially unique character builds with the Dual Class variant rule, combining the strengths of two classes together. The current party has also opted to use multiple additional variant rules, including free archetype, ancestry paragon, and the unrestricted pack from Team+. With this in mind, you'll have many more options available to you both tactically in the moment and strategically as you level up, so some familiarity with the system is useful though not required. I'm happy to help newcomers get their bearings and learn the ropes, but if you don't enjoy lots of options and complex character sheets, this likely isn't the game for you. If that complexity is something you enjoy, however, then welcome aboard! Game Link: https://startplaying.games/adventure/cms98o5hm007il4048o5afc0y
