Description

I’m a dad looking to spend my free time meeting some nice people online and showing them the world I’ve made.  I love building mini games and puzzles and sharing my homebrew with others.  Since I can’t do that with my friends, I hope to find some cool people here who want to check out my world. Cheers! If any players enjoy my adventure I'd love to continue playing with them once a month and have fun just diving into my homebrew world.  If there is interest I will create more adventures for future playthroughs. The Plot: "An exclusive auction in the seaside town of Nighthaven has drawn nobles, wanderers, and fortune-seekers from across Edoran. Rumor whispers of miraculous seeds, rare treasures said to cure any illness, mend the gravest wounds, and perhaps even defy time itself. Gold is flowing, tensions are high, and behind every eager smile lurks a hungry ambition. You and your companions have been chosen to protect a wealthy bidder and secure the prize at all costs. But in Nighthaven, fortune favors the bold… and danger is never far behind. Will you outwit rival seekers, survive the high-stakes bidding war, and claim the ultimate reward?" Game System: D&D 5E 2014 or 2024 Tools: Discord and DnDBeyond.com Schedule: Friday February 6th 8:00 PM EST 2 to 5 playersMust-Haves Before the Game: 💬 Discord Account – Required The entire game takes place in Discord voice chat, with visuals streamed directly through the app. Make sure you have a Discord account and can join the server link I’ll send you. 🎧 A Good Mic 🎥 Camera Strongly Encouraged 💻 Use a Desktop or Laptop. Phones are not supported. iPads? Also not ideal. You’ll need to see detailed visuals I’m screen-sharing, like puzzle interfaces, app-style minigames, and cinematic clips. These simply won’t display correctly on a tiny screen. 🧙 Character Level & Stats Starting Level: Level 3 Stat Generation: Any official method is fine, Standard Array, Point Buy, or even rolling. Want to roll 4d6 and drop the lowest? Go for it. Want to use an array to save time? Totally fine. Just don’t completely homebrew the system. 📘 Allowed Materials Use anything from official D&D books (yes, even wild subclasses and expansions from things like Tasha’s, Xanathar’s, or Spelljammer etc...). Safety Tools: I use breaks and open door. The game has fantasy violence and swearing, but the tone is very casual and often silly at times. Hey, I have a video link I made that  talks about the style of game I run.  I thought a video would be a fun way to describe my puzzles and homebrew. Log in to view Log in to view I made this video explaining that sometimes for like "minor skirmishes" I use this mini game for combat to resolve insignificant fights that come up.  It's very strange indeed. There’s also regular combat via DnDBeyond’s Map VTT as well. Log in to view I also made this video explaining what I'm not good at as a DM. lol Well... there's probably lots of things I'm not good at, but I think the video covers the biggest ones. Log in to view I also have this think to my Legend Keeper account where I host some information about my homebrew world.  You can find a world map there as well. Log in to view

I host Dungeons and Dragons sessions that prioritize cooperative puzzles and mini-games, which challenge the players themselves rather than traditional role-playing and NPC interaction. My adventures draw inspiration from cooperative board games.

-Hello, I'm Demon. the short to this is, I have made this post to find anyone that wishes to play D&D. -I figured if we can get 5 people (me included), and each of us take turns doing one shots, until we figure out who we want as a DM. I'll be doing the first one at least. and maybe we all can take turns DMing the campain if we like that Idea.  -This would let new players figure out, a bit more of the game. if I get more experienced players that's fine, I only wish that you do not call out the newer player for things they do not know, Me included. I can't say I'm new, nor can I say I'm experienced. I know some things but can't juggle the DM part of things vary well, so I would like to be a player, or play with other players who are new and are willing to learn to play with me. my time frame is currently open, and we can talk more about each person viability when it comes up. I am sure I will be getting many timeframes, but I can always help find others in your timeframe of a group that can work better for you as a group.    -this is a way to help connect other players with other players, and time frames.  -I would prefer 18+ group, however I understand new players may not be, there for I will exept any age at this time. -I may be willing to Draw art for the members, but I only ask if you want it please be patient with me, I'm not a fast drawer. I can also do Ai art if you want, but I think hand drawn art is more unique.

New players are welcome, and nobody expects you to know the rules beforehand.
An open-world sandbox style campaign focused on gaining power through financial, political and military strength. The party will start at level one(with a few minor enhancements) and pursue local influence and gathering funds. Will you choose to purchase gear and lean into completing bounties or search for treasure among the ruins? Will you invest in a local restaurant and gather rare monster parts for fancy expensive dishes? Will you delve into small town intrigue and increase your fame through quests and manipulation?  I will likely run a one or two session intro where the party is restricted to a small town and must complete their assigned quest. If the group is happy with the world and we all want to continue, we can make any necessary adjustments and open the world up to a much larger mapped area. At that point, the group will be able to explore and jump into quests, bounties, dungeons, etc. If you can pay, you can hire contractors to build, mercenaries to fight, mages to scry. Kill and steal if you like, but beware that unplanned murder and theft can be risky, and the authorities are scary.  This campaign is set in a fairly basic fantasy type world with its own history. You can read the lore dump if you like, but it won't be necessary to play. Magic works as you would expect, deities exist, and whatever else your character might depend on won't be mysteriously absent. This campaign is designed around supporting YOUR fun adventures, and the world is there to facilitate that.  - I am aiming for 3-4 players, games on Saturday nights, and mainly play using voice on Discord and maps on Owlbear.  - There will be graphic violence and people being quite rude to each other.  - Danger is real and your character can die, but that would generally be the result of ignoring clear "are you sure about this?" moments. - Every type of human is welcome, and there will be zero tolerance for shittiness. - Sexual stuff is kept to a minimum.  - If you have anything you would like to be avoided in game(phobias, etc), send me a private message and it won't appear.  Anyone who'd like to join, please check out the application below and respond to any sections you like. New players welcome. https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTqSonCE6_1giGIJIKV2Yj7eegyb7XQJgNe6U3R2fq7v2psUUEXHZVEdNHb8H5Dl2MsBv7CCosPBPKa/pub

Woes of Westgate

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.
WOES OF WESTGATE Synopsis The campaign takes place in Westgate, Faerun's most sordid city. Under the youngest appointed Croamarkh to date, it had recently known peace. The city split into three factions: The Serpent's Crest, the Night Masks, and the religious sector, Gods' Hill - they all lived in a precarious balance of harmony. At least, the closest thing to harmony they had seen. But this peace halted when the Culling began. The Culling refers to a collection of recent bizarre phenomena:  First came the Withering Hand, a cult risen out of nowhere, choking the city with death in its wake to resurrect their dead god. Then, the Shattering Sky. Researchers across the Sword Coast have speculated it's been a thing for centuries... though now a rift the size of a copper piece has made itself apparent in the atmosphere. Swarms of aberrant creatures have emerged since, and everyday citizens now fear to be out at night. With these occurences came an arch-necromancer said to hail from Waterdeep, now working with the Croamarkh and claiming to have a cure. Many are too fearful to question it, but a handful of missing person posters have been printed shortly after his arrival. This calls for a group of heroes to investigate the belly of the beast. The clock is ticking, and so begins a race to unravel this nefarious plot before the world is torn apart.  Time 5 PM - 9 PM System Dungeons and Dragons 5e Campaign Level lvl 3 - lvl 12 Hello! I'm Kota, and I'm a newbie DM looking for a few additional players for a campaign I wish to try running again! We will be starting completely from the beginning, with our next session being a brief session 0 and session 1. Currently, the group consists of 3 of my friends who all retain a fair amount of knowledge of TTRPGs, but we are completely open to new players joining us as well! This campaign is for adults only, since we are all adults and it handles more mature topics such as fantasy violence and body horror. For anyone curious, currently the party consists of a bard and a rogue, with the third person still deciding. The game is completely free to join, no fees or anything required.  I will likely be recording all of the sessions with Craig, and storing them on a google drive so that you may go back and review sessions in case you missed some notes. The sessions won't be posted anywhere else. Campaign Playstyle I prioritize roleplay and character choices affecting the narrative over all else, balanced with combat sprinkled throughout important narrative moments. I tend to be super chill as a DM, and I'm a heavy user of the Rule of Cool. If the solution is creative or interesting, I will likely let you do it!  That's all I can think of for now... if you're looking for a super chill and open-minded long-term group, feel free to join us! Just contact me here first, and if you're a good fit, I'll add you on Discord so we can discuss it further there! Thanks for reading!
