Description

I am the creater of  gritandire.com (game manual links on website, website is free and hosts character sheets). I can provide free copies of manuals for play testers. No purchase necessary. contact me on discord for details. I am looking for a group of 2-8 playtesters to make charactes for a one-shot battle arena scenario. The goal is to test the battle arena idea but also to test the website. I have designed this game after over 30 years of running games and studying over 200 different games. I wanted a specific ruleset which was more intuitive and immersive to play. I wanted as little meta as possible and simple arbitration for player characters to be able to interact with the gritty game world as described and percieved intuitively. The setting is a unique fantasy setting with a unique take on typical fantasy 'race' tropes Some key mechanics features; no HP, instead wounds are debuffs Classless (templates and callings help guide build types) synergy skills customized magic- ire 'soul damage' is suffered for each spell cast instead of points or spells per day

Vampire: The Masquerade - The Blood Hunt

Paid game
The Game Master charges a fee to run the game.

Conversation, character and story take up most of the table time.
Baltimore, MD. 2026... You haven't been Kindred for long, a decade at most. The Camarilla is a monstruous monolith, but also fairly simple to understand: don't give anyone a reason, and you might just make it one more night. From what you've learned, the modern nights are a different kind of beast. The Masquerade is as frail as it's ever been, and while your Domain is usually uneventful and has managed to keep out of the Inquisition's sight, any misstep could send everything spiraling. Which is why, two nights ago, the entire Domain was shook to its core. A nurse attacked at the hospital's parking lot, left drained on the concrete. The worst part? She survived, and someone filmed the attack. The clip has now ended up on the local news, the worst breach of the Masquerade the city has seen in years, and the Prince is out for blood. Tonight begins with her eminence herself announcing to the entire Domain that she has identified the perpetrator, and has called upon a Blood Hunt. Before dawn approaches, any Kindred in town is invited to hunt down the criminal and bring them to justice by any means necessary — an many are already licking their fangs at the possibility of a sanctioned diablerie. The problem? The culprit is your friend, a neonate Caitiff with good relations to the Coterie. And shortly after the Hunt is called, she contacts you and swears by her innocence. She has possibly been framed, and the clock is already ticking on her unlife. Will you uphold your own convictions and help a friend in need, uncovering the truth behind the incident before it's too late, and bringing the real culprit to light, or will you betray your humanity and take this chance at status and power, and join the rest of the city on Hunt? You have until sunrise, make your choice and act quick, and change the course of this Blood Hunt. To learn more and join the game, check it out on StartPlaying!

Gundam Epsilon, A Universal

Conversation, character and story take up most of the table time.
Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
I am looking for 3–4 players for an open-ended campaign set in the Gundam Universal Century timeline!  we will use Owlbear About the Campaign: Timeline: Starting during the One Year War (OYW) and continuing for as long as the story takes us—until the squad either falls in battle or decides to retire. Player Choice Matters: Your starting faction, objectives, and assets will be dictated by the choices you make as a group. You have the power to change the course of UC history or become another victim of its tragedy. Sandbox & Dynamic Storytelling: This is a heavy sandbox campaign. I love building the world around player motivations and goals. Some sessions will be purely character-driven roleplay with little to no combat, while others will drop you straight into gritty, intense battlefields. Custom Art: As a GM bonus, I can provide custom sprite art for your custom Mobile Suits and potentially your characters! What I Ask from Players: Patience & Feedback: I am a first-time GM stepping over to the other side of the screen for my first full campaign (after running a couple of one-shots). I might make mistakes, but I am very open to constructive tips and feedback! Roleplay Focus: We are here to craft a compelling story together, not just min-max or go on kill streaks. If you want to shape the Universal Century, this is your chance.

🌍🌍〰️〰️〰️ | Exploration ⚔️⚔️⚔️〰️〰️ | Combat 🎭🎭🎭〰️〰️ | Social RP & Drama 🧩〰️〰️〰️〰️ | Puzzles 😂😂😂〰️〰️ | Humor # When are we playing I'll host games on the 21st, 23rd and 27th of November, starting at 2:30PM BRT/5:30 PM UCT! # About the Campaign 🧑‍🏫 Learn the Game | 🎲 Sit and Play! | 😄 Have Fun! Marlowe Fairwind, the right-hand sorcerer of King Emeris, has gathered her most trusted allies to carry an important package to Hush, a small village within the ancient forest of Sablewood. The crate is large, heavy and sealed with magic, addressed to the Whitefire Arcanist. You’ve been given a map and a carriage, and the promise of reward upon your arrival. # What This Campaign Offers 🎓 Learn Daggerherat - A quick rundown of the mechanics, providing pre-made characters, complete with suggestions of links and background questions to help you immerse yourself. ⚖️ An All-round experience – Combat, exploration, roleplaying, social encounters and magical places. Get a taste of everything applied to the system of Daggerheart, and find out how it works for you! ✨ Whimsy - Although the campaign is short, the city of Hush and its inhabitants carry a certain whimsy and magic within them, making them fun personalities to engage with, so the session aims to be fun and light-hearted. ⏳ No Prep One Shot - You don't need to do any work; just show up to the game, and I'll teach all the rules and offer characters. Just sit down, learn the game, play a session and we're done! 🐣 Kid Friendly - Sablewood Messengers's only heavy themes are the inclusion of Undeads and Violence. The undeads can be easily re-skinned to something more friendly, and the combat can be quirky and silly if needed. Other than that, it's magic, fairies and songs! # In-Depth Campaign Structure Designed with beginners in mind, Sablewood Messengers is often called the Quickstart. It was released alongside Daggerheart as a free content to help players get into the game easily. It's a single session which includes explaining the game, going through two possible combats, and social encounters with a magical city and a quirky fairy grandma, with a lot of room for players and characters to interact and become closer throughout their travel. Characters are included in the module, and they have a suggestion of how they connect already included in their backgrounds, as well as questions prepared to help players strengthen these bonds. The game's rules are very simple, and can be explained within an hour. # Preparing For The Session You'll need accounts on Roll20 and Discord. No character creation needed! Characters will be provided at the start of the session! Payment and scheduling is done through [StartPlaying.Games](http://StartPlaying.Games) # About Me! Hey there! I'm Erick, and I have been a regular RPG player since 2015, but I've been involved in the world of RPGs and have been a fan since I was a little kid, when my brother used to GM for me. I'm a big fan of game design in general; so I also enjoy creating content and tweaking the rules as needed. I've played a few other systems, but D&D 5th Edition is my favorite by far. RPGs are my favorite hobby, and I believe they have immense narrative, rational and therapeutic value. I am happy to teach newcomers and engage with veterans alike. Although I embrace heavy themes and take the narrative itself seriously within the game, our communion as writers and players is something very light and comfortable for me. We'll use battlemaps for all scenes that include a scuffle, and mostly use theater of the mind for the rest of the scenes; although I do share the images that I use as reference for locations, when there are any. We'll use music to set the vibe as we play, as well as some sound effects, all integrated within Roll20. I got a firm grasp of the rules, and I am lax with them, trying to create a flow on scenes, without losing balance. Preparing to play on the 21st, 23rd and 27th of November, depending on your preference! Here are the links, depending on the date: 21st: https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmtnhlit600dcl8043dw6ms70?referralCode=L5FRL4LM 23rd: https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmtnhnsda001mju04v481py8l?referralCode=L5FRL4LM 27th: https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmtnhoubr000gl104mf53iiey?referralCode=L5FRL4LM
