Description

What do you want most from a weekly game? Deep roleplay? Tactical, high-stakes combat? Genuine player agency where your choices reshape the world? Dynamic, fully realized NPCs with real motivations? If that’s what you’re looking for, welcome to the table. My goal every week is to deliver a cinematic, bespoke session that respects your investment, integrates your backstories, and keeps you counting down the days until next game night. The Pitch: Terror in the Snakewood In the storied world of the Forgotten Realms, ogre raids are an unfortunate reality of the frontier. Brutes driven by unending hunger and simple cunning, they are usually manageable by seasoned local guards. Not this time. The jewel of the Sunset Vale, Berdusk, finds itself besieged by an organized horde striking from hundreds of miles to the south the dense, cursed forest of the Snakewood. Worse still, blades shatter against their hides and arrows fail to draw blood. Whispers spread of lycanthropic infection running rampant through the monstrous horde, breeding giant, apex predators immune to mundane steel. Desperate to protect trade routes, farmlands, and innocent lives, the High Magistrate of Berdusk has issued an open call for mercenaries, spellcasters, and seasoned tacticians. Whether the solution demands the slaughter of the werewolf packs within the woods, diplomatic parley with monstrosities, or delving into dark planar secrets  the city simply needs results. What Kind of DM Am I?  Dynamic Encounters: Combat is never just a room full of stat blocks trading hit points. Expect dynamic environments, shifting objectives, and tactical depth where brute force is rarely the only, or best solution. Living, Breathing NPCs: Every faction, ally, and villain has distinct motivations, philosophies, and secrets. They react organically to your choices, forming alliances, holding grudges, or pursuing their own hidden agendas. Player-Driven Storytelling: Clever plans, outside-the-box thinking, and unexpected choices are actively rewarded. The campaign's direction bends around your decisions, not a rigid script. Tone & Stakes: Heavily inspired by deep mythologies, grim fantasy, and character-driven serialized drama. While I love table humor and heartfelt moments, actions carry real stakes. Character death is always handled collaboratively, fairly, and with narrative weight. Campaign Details & Character Creation System: D&D 5.5/5e Starting Level: Level 3 Starting Equipment: 150 gp for mundane gear, one mundane item you purchase is an uncommon. Party Hooks: Local mercenaries, citizens protecting Berdusk, or traveling adventurers seeking fortune and renown. Ability Scores: Decided collaboratively during Session 0 (Standard Array, High-Powered Modified Array, or Point Buy/Rolled options available). Platform: Discord (Voice-only for DM; players welcome to use video if preferred) and Roll20 for maps/tokens.   You want HOW much?  Rate: $10 per session via Paypal(Average session length: 3.5 to 5 hours) Paid DMing isn't just about showing up to roll dice it’s an investment in a dedicated, high-effort experience: Mastery & Prep: Backed by over 10,000 hours of tabletop experience, with hours of custom preparation, curated maps, bespoke handouts, and personalized story beats poured into every single session. Reliability: Dedicated scheduling, limited flake factor, and availability between sessions. No-Risk Guarantee: If a scheduled session ever cuts short under 3 hours on my end, that session is completely free.  Frequently Asked Questions          Are Session 0 and trial sessions free? Yes. Both Session 0 (safety tools, campaign tone, expectations, and character synergy) and a complete Session 0.5 (gameplay    prologue) are 100% free of charge to ensure the table dynamic is a great fit for everyone.         Is this game LGBTQIA+ friendly? Absolutely. This table is an inclusive, welcoming, and safe space for all players.         Why voice-only for the DM? I prioritize clear audio delivery and private comfort, so I do not use a webcam. Players are free to use cameras or remain voice-only based on their own comfort.         How flexible is the schedule? The set weekday is fixed once locked in, but session start times can have some flexibility depending on party availability.         What are the next steps? Drop an application or comment below with your experience level, what kind of character you'd love to explore, and your favorite aspect of TTRPGs!

What kind of GM am I? One who wants you to ask questions you don't have. One who wants you to think about situations and act in ways I could never predict. I love the improvisation of tabletop games and how they must be adapted into a grander story.

Isekai as Monsters !

Paid game
The Game Master charges a fee to run the game.
Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
About the Campaign: I have tried doing isekai dnd before, but what I want to do this time around is players being reincarnated as low-level monsters for the first few sessions and then gaining their first levels later down the line. Would be pretty hard game, as monsters would be at disadvantage, but who knows what might come out of it. Planning to also run it as a combat heavy, dungeon survival campaign. Players would be able to evolve their characters with certain circumstances, including sacrificing souls of humanoids for a ritual. This evolution would be a custom mechanic and a way to get extra features both for your race, and your class. About time: I am planning to have sessions run at least 3 hours. This would be 2 different groups at 2 different time. One at Fridays 6 PM EST, another at Saturdays 7 PM EST About DM : I am an experienced DM of 6 years making a new campaign open for new players to join. I'll be happy to teach and explain anything about Dnd. I am happy to accommodate any type of player, as long as they are not disruptive and are not causing issues for me or any other players. I tend to do more RP then Combat, so expect about a 60/40 split, if not 70/30. About cost: I ask for 20 USD payment at least within 24 hours after the session. Refund will be made with reasonable situations as well as refunded at the end of session 1, as that one is a trial, if you're not willing to continue. About character creation: Lvl 1 start. All character can be created before the game or during session 0. Stat will be rolled with a minimum of 70

[Friday 7:30 PM ET][$20] Beneath the Devil’s Moon

Paid game
The Game Master charges a fee to run the game.
A lost region of Solamnia has returned. Ancient roads lead beyond known maps, rival factions seek its riches, and ruins from different eras stand impossibly intertwined. What happened here? What caused this land to become unearthed? Heyo, I’m James. I’m recruiting players for Beneath the Devil’s Moon, an original campaign set in the world of Dragonlance focused on exploration, mystery, and character-driven storytelling. The storytelling and world is not a typical reflection of Dragonlance though as you will soon come to see, so no prior knowledge is required about the setting whatsoever. Your characters will venture into a newly accessible frontier, forge alliances, investigate buried history, and decide who to trust when competing interests come calling. Expect adventure and discovery alongside danger, with room for your characters’ ambitions and choices to shape the story. Game details     System: Dungeons & Dragons 5e     Schedule: Weekly Fridays at 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time     Session length: 2–3 hours     Price: $20 USD per player per session     Session Zero: Free     Starting level: 1     Group size: Up to six players; we begin once three have joined     Experience: All experience levels welcome     Age: 18+     Platforms: Roll20, Discord, and D&D Beyond, with the Beyond20 browser extension What I bring to the table NPC voices, background music, a mix of roleplay and combat, and enthusiasm for creative solutions. I enjoy seeing characters grow in unexpected directions and letting their decisions influence the campaign. We’ll start with a free Session Zero to discuss expectations, connect your characters, and establish boundaries using lines and veils. I want everyone to feel comfortable speaking up and enjoying the game together. Read the full listing and reserve a seat: https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmuqb082x00rvjt04qnrg4k32
