Description

System: GURPS 4e Platform: Discord + Foundry (with TotM when appropriate) Timezone: EST Schedule: Weekly Sundays 11am EST Players needed: 1 Start date: Sunday January 11th 11am EST Age requirement: 18+ Premise
The Kingdom of Valtara has war on the horizon. One of the princesses of an important noble family has devised a scheme to secure massive funding before the fighting begins.
Long ago, an island far to the south held a great kingdom. It was flush with wealth, magic, and resources that any nation on the brink of war would kill for. That kingdom collapsed roughly 1,500 years ago and has sat in ruins ever since. The catch is that the island is a freezing nightmare, and any attempt to exploit it needs two parts:
1 - A shore fort staffed with soldiers, medical staff, and a knight overseeing the operation. The fort stores tools, food, and weapons, and it receives shipments from the mainland. 2 - A smaller, independent field team meant to push inland through snow and ruin, locate points of interest, extract valuables, and deal with whatever still lives there.
You are that second group. The princess has recruited a small, competent party to trek the frozen interior and bring back the wealth needed to fund the coming war.
Game Focus
This game heavily focuses on survival, and resource tracking will be vital. Expect: Planning expeditions (loadouts, rations, tools, fuel, medical supplies) Traveling through deep snow and harsh cold Bad weather (whiteouts, storms) impacting navigation and safety Encounters with snowy creatures and other inhabitants The pressure of making sure each expedition brings enough food to stay well fed—and enough margin to get back
Game Tone and Vibe Gritty exploration and logistics Risk is real, and smart play is rewarded Mission loop: prep at fort → expedition inland → return with loot/info → next push
Character creation (details finalized after group forms)
GURPS 4e. I’ll help with char-gen and can provide advice and recommendations. Expect “competent expedition members,” not joke builds. Skills like Survival, Navigation, Hiking, First Aid, Observation, and relevant combat/utility skills will matter. Characters will be 150pts with -75 disadvantage limit and -5 quirk Magery Limit 3 TL3 Basic Set + Magic, plus additional books by group consensus (GM approval). I am looking for Warriors, Explorers, Survivalists and a Mage would likely be helpful, but not required.

Hi.  I run a game on Wednesdays. Eastern time zone on Discord that I feel needs one additional player.   It's a young group (20's, 30's) and have been around for a few years.   There are 5 players.  The game itself has the players with corporate security jobs defending against alternate realities/histories.   So, extreme violence but with the occasional HR training module about problemsolving skills. Yes,  the worst of two worlds. Because it's alternate reality fighting alternate realities, the player can be whatever they want, quite literally anything.  GURPS allows the players to create whatever comes to your imagination,  but we'll worry about that later.  The tricky part isn't what we do but how.  The group does try to outdo each other in weirdness.   It's not murderhobo, but a new unprecedented thing.   So, you will have to keep that in mind.   This is not for the humorless or overly moral or easily uncomfortable. Think of this as a means to lead you down a new path,  one where you learn about a you that you have never met but has always known was there or you get your money back,  no questions asked.  Feel free to message me or discord - yeroldpalwill.  Seriously, they're a nice group of people and you'll have fun.   Having a sense of humor & a personality is a huge plus.  Thank for reading this far.  If you're a newbie  don't worry,  I'll help with the character.   Just combine your two favorite movie, literature, or anime genres together.  Also, Wednesdays,  7 PM eastern.

GURPS Super Heroes – Dispatch-Inspired

Roleplay focused
Conversation, character and story take up most of the table time.
Newbie friendly
New players are welcome, and nobody expects you to know the rules beforehand.
I'm looking for a few new players to join my GURPS Super Heroes campaign, inspired by the game Dispatch. The campaign takes place in a modern-day version of the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo, blending street-level heroics, conspiracies, and larger-than-life superhuman threats. We currently have 2 active players and have been playing (on and off) for almost a year. Our sessions are held every other Sunday at 18:00 (Lisbon time). Unfortunately, one of our players recently had to step away due to personal reasons, so we're looking for 2–3 new players to round out the group. The campaign is currently run entirely in Portuguese, but if there's enough interest from non-Portuguese speakers, I'd be happy to switch the game to English. Portuguese speakers from anywhere are also more than welcome! Whether you're an experienced GURPS player or completely new to the system, you're welcome to join. If you're interested in superhero roleplaying and can make the schedule, feel free to send me a message!

**Edge of the Empire:** Edge of the Empire is an excellent TTRPG which uses a unique dice system to help aid in the story telling. It is part of the larger Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars RPG, a collection of 3 interchangeable and mixable systems, which include Age of Rebellion, Edge of the Empire and Force and Destiny. Set after the Battle of Yavin, at the height of the Galactic Civil War, Edge of the Empire focuses on the outlaws at the outskirts of the “civilized” Galactic Empire. Smugglers, Bounty Hunters, Thieves, Assassins, Frontier Doctors, Settlers and Local Politicians all seek to carve out a life for themselves at the furthest reaches of the galaxy. However even as the Rebel Alliance fights their uphill battle against the Empire, the Empire’s reach continues to grow. Will you learn to coexist with the Empire or hide from them? Perhaps even aid the growing Rebellion? Your group will have to chart the best path forward themselves! Mondays 8:00pm Eastern **Note in Regards to a Fresh Start:** As this has been a long term campaign so far, with a good amount of story/history for the characters, and a high experience level, we understand it may be offputting for potential new players. Because of that, we wish to make it clear that our priority is filling out the party with a group that has good chemistry and shared goals. To facilitate that, both the players and I are willing to start completely fresh, even if we love the narrative we have crafted so far. We had an idea for a new campaign that everyone likes although we are also willing to consider other options. The potential new campaign would start during the dying days of the Clone Wars. The party would be made up of Clone Troopers, Non-Clone Soldiers, perhaps a Jedi Padawan or two, and any other type of character who would be working closely with such a group. The idea is to have a few missions/arcs during those days of the Clone Wars, culminating in Order 66. Then we would have a time skip of about 3-5 years to the early days of the Empire where the players would describe/narrate what their characters have been up to from Order 66 to the current times. They will reunite and begin to work together to carve out a living under the new regime, whether that be by joining in early rebel activity, or drifting to the underworld on the outskirts of the Empire. Any Jedi Padawan characters would lose their lightsabers in this time skip, and have it be a long term goal to build/reacquire one if they wish. The time skip would also include a small XP bonus. Either way, we look forward to meeting some new players, and figuring out what kind of campaign we wish to play together! **The Campaign So Far** This is a long term campaign with no planned end. The group has played through the introductory adventures "Escape from Mos Shuuta" followed by "Long Arm of the Hutt", then “The Jewel of Yavin". They have most recently finished "Beyond the Rim”, one of the bigger adventures for the system. In between major adventures they have hunted bounties, raced swoop bikes and smuggled the Corellian Shuffle. The immediate future is wide open, with no plans for any major adventures for a while, as we focus on the consequences of the character’s actions throughout the campaign and deal with aspects of their backstories. The party includes Cashar Brut who is a Falleen Smuggler/Pilot and Ruug the Shistavanen Bounty Hunter. ## The Game: -New Players are welcomed and will be assisted, whether you are new to Roll20 or the Star Wars RPG! -Although the Star Wars RPG uses proprietary dice, its mechanics are often quite intuitive. Our group has been playing since Apr. 2025, and at this point we feel comfortable enough to bring in and teach new players. **No experience required!** -Despite being a major fan of battlemaps and tactical combat in other systems, I often find that Theater of the Mind works exceptionally well with the Star Wars RPG. Battlemaps will still show up for some more involved combats, but many can be resolved in a short amount of the time with no visual aids necessary. -New characters will start at the same experience level as the party. Star Wars RPG has a very interesting character building system that does not rely on levels, but purchasing skills and talents with accumulated XP, with easy access to different character classes to branch out! Currently at 805 earned XP. -We will have a split Session 0/New Player introduction session, to help new players learn the game and help them fit in with the party. This session will be free. -Sessions will last 3 hours. -Discord for Voice Chat. ## Your DM: -I started with TTRPGs by running 5th Edition D&D. In 2019, I transitioned into running paid games as a full time job, and have been running 3-5 games a week since. I started running the Star Wars RPG in Apr. 2025 as previously mentioned. -Available nearly 24/7, excluding my sleep hours. Always willing to answer questions. -Good Connection/Headset/Microphone. ## What is expected of you? -Respect is a must and I will not tolerate player conflicts, PVP, or any type of disrespectful behavior towards the other players. No graphic sexual content. Players who violate this Social Contract will be removed with no refund. -Be on time, as this is basic respect for myself and the others. Missing a session will be allowed with prior notice, with no charge. Sessions will still go forward as long as we have 3 players and no major plot moments. Players who have issues with attendance will be removed with no refund. -Have a reasonable quality microphone (be intelligible), Discord and use push to talk. (I can assist you in setting this up). ## Pay to Play: -20$ Per Player Per Session (Excluding Session 0), paid via Paypal in advance. **Session 0 is free. Please reach out via DM to join or with any questions**
