OZIA “The Lost Realm of the Elves”

Previously, on The Star Hoarder's Cache: Fade into the party hurriedly discussing their plan while fleeing a burning Space Freighter "If it's a choice between joining Pirates, the Rebels or the Law... I'm for the Rebels." Cut to an impeccibly dressed businessman leaning on his mahogony desk "A new ship? That's quite the favor, my friends. Luckily I have just the job for you..." Fade up as we look into your character's eyes, focused straight ahead "There's no way, Val! That shot is impossible!"  "It's still the best we have." Hey everyone! I’m Alan, and I GM for a group of lovable misfits online. We've been together around 3 years now, and are getting ready to launch our next grand sci-fi campaign: The Star Hoarder's Cache! If you love deep character development, witty table banter, and adventures where your choices genuinely shape the story, we’d love to meet you! We’re currently looking for 1–2 dedicated roleplayers to round out our crew. The Campaign Hook: Think Guardians of the Galaxy meets Firefly, Mass Effect, and Treasure Island. Expect a scrappy, found-family crew chasing legendary fortunes across uncharted frontiers. The tone balances high-stakes galactic intrigue, sharp comedic banter, and meaningful character arcs. Your past catches up with you, the galaxy reacts dynamically to your decisions, and every crew member has a vital voice in where your ship flies next. We used the Adventure Path 'Murder in Metal City' to onboard us into SF2e, and are ready to tackle a homebrew campaign. About the GM & Table Style The Style: I bring 3 years of GMing experience backed by a long history studying improv at Second City. That means dynamic scenes, distinct NPC personalities, and an adaptive GM approach where player creativity, humor, and bold ideas are rewarded. The Current Crew: Our table consists of two women, and four men. (Including me, the GM) We're looking for another 1-2 players to round out the table, cis-women preferred. Immersion & Focus: To maintain high energy and uninterrupted roleplay during game night, our sessions are recorded and privately uploaded so that only table members have access. This allows me to stay 100% present in the moment while ensuring every player decision, inside joke, and plot thread is captured accurately between sessions without breaking the flow for note-taking. The Atmosphere: We are an inclusive, collaborative, and communicative group. We share the spotlight, support each other's character arcs, and prioritize fun, respectful storytelling above all else. We utilize safety tools like X-Cards and establish clear boundaries/lines & veils ahead of time. If a session is likely to involve heavier depictions of potentially difficult topics, I make a point to remind everyone of the X-Card options and check in with players ahead of time. Campaign Length: Our table enjoys campaigns around 12 sessions long. We've run four of them so far using PF2e. I try to focus on an overarching narrative while weaving in the backstories and goals of the party members. Some backstory plots get resolved along with the main campaign; while others are given clues and breadcrumbs into our next campaign. Logistics & Requirements System: Starfinder 2e / Pathfinder 2e We started as a PF2e group, and after 3 years; are trying out SF2e. The two systems are practically the same, except for minor tweaks Platform: Foundry VTT for gameplay, Discord for out-of-character crew banter. Schedule: Twice per month, running on a weekday evening (Mon, Tue, Wed, or Thu based on group consensus), 6:30 PM – ~11:00 PM CST. Tech: Clear working microphone, reliable internet, and a PC/browser capable of running Foundry VTT smoothly. Webcam use is encouraged, but optional. Age: 21+ I aim to run a PG-13/Sometimes 'R' rated table. We focus on keeping things friendly, with strictly zero-tolerance for bigotry or toxic behavior. How to Apply: If you want to join our crew, send me a direct message with brief answers to the following: Experience: What is your background with Pathfinder 2e, Starfinder 2e or tabletop RPGs? (Beginners to the system are welcome!) Playstyle: What draws you to TTRPG's; Combat/Strategy, Improv/Character development or creating a Shared-Storyline? Table Dynamic: What energy do you hope to bring to the table in our story-driven campaign? Applications will remain open until we find the right fit, followed by a brief, casual chat on Discord to make sure we're all on the same page before jumping in. (We'll go over table expectations, a short tutorial for using FoundryVTT, any Off-Limit topics, etc.) Looking forward to welcoming you to our table!

Epic 500-Point GURPS Fantasy! 'Slowly, but surely, our heroes have met their ends. Many are enshrined in abbeys across the continent, the new saints as they call them, others... well, their portraits are plastered across the walls of every tavern from here to the Poulanti Coast. But the fact remains, they're gone, and there are few who'd even bother picking up the sword or staff to take their place; that was until these folks turned up. I'm telling you now, Perci, those heroes... they're sum'fin different, sum'fin spectacular. The monsters thought they would soon have a run of this fair land, but not anymore. My coin is on that group!' Barley Farsune, Chronicler of the Wayward Words. You are the last of your kind. In an age of pikes, gunpowder, and growing reason, the world has forgotten the weight of a hero's sword. Most people never stray more than a few days' ride from their home, terrified of the wilds. You, however, possess a spark of the Four Magics, power born of Divinity, Nature, Spirit, or Chi, that marks you as something more than a common adventurer. While you may operate as mercenaries, you are not driven by coin alone. You are driven by the ghost of a golden age and the knowledge that the monsters are returning. As society crawls toward a new era, you are the final line of defence between the innocent and the things that howl in the dark. Your journey begins as you forge your "Hero Mantle," combining your source of power with a focus, be it storms, secrets, or death, to carve your name into the annals of history. No homework is needed to join; everything you need to know about this original world will be shared during our Session Zero. What you'll do: - Hunt mythic beasts and supernatural horrors across a vast continent. - Outwit tyrants and navigate the politics of a world transitioning to gunpowder. - Traverse untamed wilds that the common folk fear to enter. - Master and evolve your unique mythic power to protect a world that has forgotten how to save itself. What to expect: This is a roleplay and exploration-heavy campaign with high-stakes, cinematic combat. We use a curated version of GURPS to keep the game fast and focused. This is a mythic, heroic, yet gritty experience where your choices shape the legacy of the last heroes. Inspirations: Lord of the Rings, Demon Slayer, Kingdom Come Deliverance, The Witcher, Final Fantasy IX, Bezerk. *I am not the GM, but a player in this table looking for more players. Session 0 is hoping to begin 15 November, 1:00pm EST, with further games taking place weekly at 1pm. https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmvy66zfu010vlc08on7pi8p3
