Hey! I'm Tomb, a (technically) 6 year DND player (on and off and with a lot of "rule of cool" tables so not a veteran) looking for a game for Sunday Nights usually starting around 8 EST (though my schedule will probably open soon!) Im a storyteller at heart, with a big focus on worldbuilding, lore, and character driven narratives. I like getting into the depths of the worlds history and seeing what makes it tick while playing with harsh backstories that loom like shadows over the players, but I tend to shy away from GrimDark, I like some hope with my whump please! None of that means I don't like combat though, combat plays a really important part in a lot of stories and can be interesting in their own right! I do know a lot of the rules for DND 5e, I've been watching actual plays long enough to have picked up on the rules, but I prefer Homebrew over RAW and Rule of Cool over Rules Lawyering I'm a huge fan of actual plays, namely Campaign 2 of critical role, Dimension 20s Misfits and Magic, A Court of Fey and Flowers, and The Seven, a small one shot campaign called World's Apart, and the beginning half of Godsfall (before the cast imploded) Literature wise I'm an avid reader of high fantasy, Eragon being my favorite series, along with Harry Potter (fuck terfs), and a niche Midgrade series called Avalon: Web of Magic! TL;DR in the DMs Guide Player Types: Im an Explorer, a Problem Solver, and a Storyteller, but I'm more than willing to hit something along the way, i prefer Homebrew and Rule of Cool over RAW, and i want some found family/hope with my hard story beats! I hope to tell amazing stories together 💛

Conversation, character and story take up most of the table time.
Seeking at least 2 players for long term campaign: if interested respond here, or add me via discord: darksc2. Easier to message me through Reddit though. Story synopsis [undead themed] Pheanulon the Undying Empire: The Six Realms of Rane are in an Age of Prosperity, as they are rebuilding their strength after the last Calamity left them greatly weakened. As opposed to them, the Edrepis Dynasty of Verera was able to keep most of their strength and therefore was able to unify their continent under their Faith But the finer details of these Grand Stories are too much for now, you were interested in a flier of a Trading Companies job posting about excavating a rediscovered tomb that paid very well. So you made your way to their company from all different corners of the world; some people arrived earlier than you and were able to complete the job where they found clues of the past Undead Calamity known as "The Dark Tide" coming back to the world. For that reason, they quickly left for their next job for not only more clues but also personal goals, not believing them or wanting to support this group in their endeavour you decide to head off after them session time and requirements: Saturday at 6pm cst which goes for a time period of 3-4 hours. Need discord and foundry browser. Please if applying come with a character concept and idea. Player preference on roleplayers but the campaign is split roughly 60/40 between roleplay and combat. DM is German and English is his second language so if that is a deal breaker maybe rethink it. system and rules used: free archetype/ancestral paragon are rules implemented into the game. Banned creation choices: Classes: Exemplar Races: Samsaran, Wayang, Jotunborn, Vishkanya Yaksha Heritages: Ancient Elf, Ancient-Blooded Dwarf

Quest for the Frozen Flame PF2e

Paid game
The Game Master charges a fee to run the game.
**Quest for the Frozen Flame:** In the brutal tundra of the Realm of the Mammoth Lords, only the hardiest folk have what it takes to withstand unsparing weather, track down big game, and fight back hostile followings. The Broken Tusk following has survived another winter, but a new year just began, and signs of danger foretell a year unlike any before. Unless their newest party of scouts can secure a safe route through the wilds, saber-toothed beasts, warmongering rivals, and the ever-looming possibility of natural disaster all threaten to end an ancient people’s legacy. Will the Broken Tusks succumb to the elements and surrender to their rivals? Or will you guide your following to glory and reclaim a stolen birthright? ## The Game: -We will hold a Session 0 to get to know each other, and work on character creation/party formation. **Session 0 will be free**. -New Players are welcomed and will be assisted, whether you are new to Foundry or Pathfinder 2e! -“In this campaign for Pathfinder Second Edition, you’ll lead your fellow hunter-gatherers across primordial lands, face off against dinosaurs and megafauna, and unearth the legendary past of your ancient people.” -Quest for the Frozen Flame Player's Guide -Quest for the Frozen Flame is a stone-age adventure with a more structured 1st and 3rd act and a hex-crawl heavy second act. It has some flaws as written, mainly due to scarcity of loot which I will be directly adressing. -The unique setting/atmosphere lends itself to roleplaying and challenges not normally seen in your typical medievel high-fantasy, which should be a nice break for those with standard setting burnout. -**The Adventure will take you from level 1 to 11.** -I consider myself skilled at running interesting/challenging combat. I will customize the difficulty of the combat based on the party’s wishes/composition. -Sessions will last around 3 hours. -Discord for Voice Chat. -The Foundry Module for this adventure will be used. ## Your DM: -7 Year’s Experience Running DND 5th Edition. 5 years as a professional DM. Currently Run: 5e, PF2e, SF2e, Star Wars FFG. -Available nearly 24/7, excluding my sleep hours. Always willing to answer questions. ## 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. -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. -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 DM me for more details**

The Hero's Guild of Mirth: Mercs in Homebrew Realm

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.
Check out the page over at StartPlaying when you're ready to get started! Check it out here! Have you ever watched an anime where an adventurer's guild gets introduced and then is completely ignored? Did you think to yourself, "Wow, wouldn't it have been cool if they'd actually done something with the adventurer's guild..?" Well, want no more! This will be an adventure structured around guild life, ranked missions, anime vibes, and the rule of cool. There will be a lot in the way of combat and plenty of opportunities to show off your build while exploring ancient ruins, ransacking big, custom dungeons, and probably being a menace to a corrupt government official or two. Inspired by modern and old school fantasy anime, alike (think Slayers, Lodoss War, and Berserk as well as DanMachi, Shield Hero, and Goblin Slayer). Everything will happen in a custom setting, on a continent called Mirth that has an epic apocalyptic backstory and a cast of exciting and eccentric NPCs to set up for epic campaigns. This game is welcome to anyone who wants to play Pathfinder 2e for the first time or the fiftieth. If you love Pathfinder's combat, awesome anime fights, and a touch of anime power fantasy, then you're invited to join the Mirth Hero's Guild. Come become the biggest, baddest dude in the room and then make sure everyone knows it! *** Play-by-Post is a low-stress, highly-rewarding format and I love helping people get a grasp on it. Do you want to join a campaign but your availability prevents you from committing regularly? Does engaging at your own pace throughout the week without the pressure of the moment and with consistent Gamemaster support sound like something you'd enjoy. Well you're in the right place! The Play-by-Post (PbP) format is nearly as old as D&D and is a rewarding way to engage in this fantastic pastime. While it is true that the comradery of the kitchen table is lost in PbP, you gain the ability to plan without pressure, to refine your roleplay, to research your actions. Many see Play-by-Post as more immersive than live games, that the Theater-of-the-Mind is more easily engaged without the typical distractions of the table. Expect 1-3 posts a day from me, during the week. That means mechanically or narratively significant posts that move combat and/or the story along.

How to find a Pathfinder game near you

Pathfinder started as a continuation of D&D 3.5 and grew into its own thing - crunchier character building, tighter action rules, and a full rulebook set that Paizo publishes free online.

  1. Set the area. Press "Use my location" for an exact reading, or type your city. Everything on this page reorders by travel distance.
  2. Widen the circle before you give up. Most people find their table in the nearest city rather than their own street, so try 150 mi before deciding the area is empty.
  3. Read the listing, then message inside Groupfinder. Your contact details stay yours until you decide to share them.
  4. Post that you are looking. Half the matches on this site run the other way round, with the game master finding the player.

Questions people ask

How do I find a Pathfinder group near me?

Share your location or type your city in, and the list reorders by distance. Pathfinder tables are thinner on the ground than D&D ones, so a wider radius usually pays off here.

What is the difference between Pathfinder 1E and 2E?

First edition is the D&D 3.5 lineage: deep character building, a lot of options, a lot of bookkeeping. Second edition rebuilt the maths around a three action turn and is far easier to learn. Use the filters above to see only the one you want.

Do I need to buy the rulebooks?

No. Paizo publishes the full rules free through Archives of Nethys, so you can read everything your character needs before your first session without spending anything.

Can I play Pathfinder online instead?

Yes, and a good share of the listings here are online. Foundry VTT has particularly strong Pathfinder support, and the online section on this page shows what is currently recruiting.
