Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][MOTW][EST][Friday] Looking for 3-4 players to live out their small town dreams in Hostel County!

Upvotes

Hi! I’m Cody (he/they), a PBTA GM of over 5 year. Honestly i’m just looking to shake the motw rust off of me before i start running it again for other groups lol. Looking for a set of players to play a good ol fashion small town mystery with monsters galore! Info below!

System: Monster of the Week

Aprox Length: 10-15 sessions (could go longer)

**Tone/Style/Inspirations*\*: Twin peaks, widows bay. Room for bits but mainly a grounded mystery in a small town

**Combat/RP balance*\*: Its Monster of the Week, but I imagine the threats will generally be less confrontational than usual

**Prep/Investment Level*\*: I would like be able to do exporations of characters a little more in depth, since it’s a slightly grounded setting.

**Concept Name and Blurb: *\*Hostel Bay. A small marina town is struggling to stay afloat in the modern era. The mayor tries desperately to bring tourism to a small seaside town, but residents are set in their ways and superstitions. Something lingers in the fog, but who’s to say what it is. The town has a rich, but obscure history, that will be up to the party to uncover if the town is to survive.

**Extra info:** Unlike most usual motw games, PCs will not be starting off as any sort of known magical force. This doesnt mean playbooks like the spellslinger, divine, or monstrous are banned, it just means you will come into your playbook through the course of the game. Sorry, you’ll have to earn being a wizard.

What i want from players: I’d prefer people experienced with the system, and those open to workshopping with both me and other players about the setting and character details. This is a small town so i am forcing you to do the character relationship feature of motw character building! Sorry!

Likely will be Fridays at 8pm EST
You can shoot me a message or at saffronmoth on discord (preferred)

Player(s) Needed by GM Brand New DM Looking for players - Online [5e 2014] - 8:00-12:00 pm Fridays or Saturdays - Fate/Noir

Upvotes

Looking for 3 more players to join homebrew campaign.

We'll use discord for voice chat and roll20 for the virtual tabletop.

This is a Homebrew Fate Type/Moon campaign I've been creating over the last few months, prior Fate knowledge is not required but is heavily recommended.

You begin at Level 3 and start with a Level 1 Feat

The Hook: A Holy Grail war secretly and unnaturally begins in 1940's New York without the knowledge of clock tower.

Conduct expectations: both me and one of the players are minors, so no nsfw content. also no racism, misogyny, or LGBTphobia. other than that, you need to be able to consistently make it to sessions. it's ok to miss one every once in a while due to emergencies or events, but please don't make it a regular occurrence.

About the setting: The New York Italian Mob smuggled in some artifacts overseas from Europe one of which happened the be the Holy Grail itself which landed in the hands of The Boss of the Italian mob who is a Magi. Our players play as servants on the side of the Mob. An Agency of Magi who functions similarly to Clock Tower except for the U.S discovers this and a grail war begins as they attempt to take the holy grail. This is no ordinary grail war so that means more than just 7 servants are summoned, multiple servants of each class can be summoned and it's less battle royale and more team deathmatch

What to expect:
I would like to keep a balance between combat and roleplay but ultimately it's up to the players. The major bosses will be opposing servants and they will be reoccurring with the occasional buff and rework since fate servants aren't usually killed when they're first introduced, you won't be fighting exclusively servants though so you won't need to worry about fighting the same people all the time. I'm not the best at roleplaying, I admit so do be a little patient.

some of my preferences:
I am a BRAND SPANKIN NEW DM so I won't be the best. I prefer players with experience because we already have 1 brand new player who may occasionally need help (I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, I also may need help as the dm since I'm going to begin dming in this very campaign). I'd prefer if you'd play a character that does not already exist in fate unless you know that character extremely well, can roleplay them well and can build them well. I'd prefer if you came with a servant concept already in mind (you only really need to come with a possible servant and optionally subclass and race)

Rules for Homebrew:

Homebrew classes and subclasses are off the table however homebrew races are allowed if I approve of them. Reflavoring is allowed and encouraged as long as you run it by me first
How classes work is I took every vanilla subclass and umbrella'd it under all of the fate classes (I will attach post the list in the Discord server when it's made)

I plan on having a Session 0 maybe this Thursday if all goes well

If you wanna be REALLY nice we can call someday and build your character so they're ready by Thursday. If you don't, that's OK and you can just build them there

After Thursday, I will build a session -1 for your character and their master as to how you are summoned, how your meet and how you end up where we will begin session 1
If you have any questions, I'm always free. Please add me on Discord @ninetyninehundred so I may interview you

Group Needed by Player [Online] [DND 5e 2014/2024] [Est] Looking to revisit Curse of Strahd!

Upvotes

I'm 24 ftm, bi and ace so I'm looking for an LGBTQ+ friendly table! I've played Curse of Strahd before but the campaign ended up fizzling out unfinished due to a lack of players and scheduling issues so I'm here seeking to venture into the mists of Barovia once more.

It has been a good year since playing the module and I know everyone can run games just a bit different, it really was a setting and story I enjoyed as well so I'd like to play it to the end! ☺️

My characters all tend to fall into the community somewhere as well and I enjoy integrating that into story arcs with themes of self discovery self acceptance, perhaps not having a space to express themselves as freely before the adventure.

I'm coming up on having played for three years and my favorite aspects of the game are the storytelling, roleplaying and collaboration! I am a very creatively driven person with social anxiety so I've found that DND gives me a creative and social outlet where I don't feel so intimidated and can meet new people! 

I'm a lighthearted and optimistic player, I enjoy bringing humor to scenes without taking out all the seriousness that situations deserve and often find myself smiling until my face hurts by the end of the session!

Horror is one of my absolute favorite genres and in campaigns like this I found myself thriving in that environment, I enjoy playing characters that although come from tragedy can become the light in the darkness and work towards a better future for themselves.

I like playing characters where their stories come out when it's time, unraveling to the party throughout the campaign.

A majority of my characters are running from something or are in some sort of danger, perhaps it's looking out for their own safety or that of the group but I enjoy my characters gradually putting more trust in the party as their relationships grow.

Honestly I write backstories with a lot of tragedy but hopeful futures with a lot at stake. Say their freedom, family, or even their own bodily autonomy and mind is at stake due to a curse? I love stories where there's something to lose and hurt to heal.

While I don't have a problem with combat I do have ADD so if it's a game that's anticipated to have combat only sessions frequently I may not be interested. I do have fun in combat and all but if it's running over an hour to full sessions I tend to become disengaged.

What I'm looking for at a table is:

• No play by posts

• No one shots, looking for a long term campaign 

• No paid games at the moment 

• Games starting from 4 pm earliest to 8:30 pm est at the latest from Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or all day availability on weekends! 

• A table of 3-5 players preferred, I tend to get overwhelmed with more 

I do currently have 4 characters and I'm working on a 5th that may be fitting with her curiosity of the dead and necromancy! I tend to play more martial classes than spellcasters though even if I usually multi class

I have a campaign on Fridays at the moment but I'm free weekday mornings and evenings after 5 pm est, trying to keep my weekends free right now but I am up for discussing schedules! Thank you for reading :)

GM Needed by Existing Group [Online] [Tuesday] [6:00 P.M. EST] [D&D 5E 2014 or 2024] Preestablished Role-Play Heavy Group of 5 Players Looking for a DM

Upvotes

Hello everyone, I am in search of a DM for my group of five, including myself. We started playing together earlier in the year and want to stay together for our next campaign because of our group dynamic and synergy. All of us value roleplay and story elements. We want a DM who reflects these values and is interested in directly including the player's inputs and characters into the world and story.

As for our preferred setting, we don't mind much on the exact world details, but we are looking for more High Fantasy vibes. We enjoy more classic stories but are willing to explore something a bit unorthodox if the pitch is right and sounds like fun.

We are looking for someone to tell a story with and for someone who wants to do the same. At the end of the day, you don't have to be perfect by any measure just willing to tell a story and hear how it plays out with us. If you are interested, you can send a friend request over to me on discord (ewwitspanda) and we can talk some more on game ideas and see if we vibe!

Player(s) Needed by GM DM Looking for Players - [Online][5E 2024][Est-7:30pm]

8 Upvotes

Hi! I’m Noel! I’ve been DMing for a couple of years now, and I’m looking to broaden my horizons and tell some different kinds of stories together.

My DMing style is roughly 60% roleplay / 40% combat. I really enjoy collaboration, creative problem-solving, and players who like contributing to the world and story rather than just following a set path.

🎲 What I’m Looking For

I’m looking for semi-experienced, inclusive players to join a monthly online campaign.

New players are absolutely welcome too, as long as you have a basic understanding of TTRPGs and are willing to learn!

I’m currently running D&D 5.5e, but I’m also interested in systems that are less complex than D&D. The system is ultimately just a tool — the goal is to create a great story together.

🌎 The Goal

I want to tell vastly different stories across worlds and IPs we already know and love, while still putting our own spin on them.

Some of the campaigns I’m currently planning include:

  • ⚙️ Fullmetal Alchemist
  • 🐉 Dragon Ball Z
  • 🗡️ The Legend of Zelda
  • ❤️ Kingdom Hearts
  • 🐲 How to Train Your Dragon
  • 🦸 Justice League
  • 💾 TRON
  • 🍄 The Last of Us

Each campaign would have its own tone, setting, and style, so there should hopefully be something for everyone!

If any of this sounds interesting to you, leave a comment or DM me! Tell me a little about yourself, what kind of games you enjoy, and what campaign caught your eye. I’d love to chat and see if we’d be a good fit!

Closed [Online][flexible 5e 2014/2024 with HEAVY homebrew][Monday 13:00 GMT+4] Pirate liberation campaign against an opressive World Government and a manipulative evil New World's Order "The Two Piece" looking for a replacement lvl 14 player

1 Upvotes

Hello, my name's Ilya, and I've been running a One Piece inspired campaign for about a year and a half now.

Even though the world and the story are inspired by One Piece (evil world government, devil fruits that give you superpowers and my version of haki included), they are still my own creation, so you don't have to know anything about it to play.

The story is very character based, but as this campaign has b​een going for a while the stories have converged into a central plot about opposing an ancient powerful BBEG who's set on ridding the world of death aided by a compliant World Government and a faction of united villains by the name od New World's Order

The vibe for the game I'm going for is mosly fun, relaxed and comedy oriented, with a bit of seriousness and drama when the time calls for it. I want everyone at the table to have fun, feel cool and enjoy the journey first, everything else second.

We are playing the game on Mondays 1pm GMT+4

THIS IS IMPORTANT PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR TIME ZONE

This is intended to be a long campaign​ and as a replacement playe​r you'll be hopping in as level 14 character as the story is a bit over half way at this point (debatable). I'd really like to find someone who's willing to work with me to bring you into the fold​​​, as we'll need to have a long chat at character creation with this campaign being heavy on homebrew

Don't let that intimidate you, as I like to think of myself as a very accommodating DM and am willing to help you as much as​ you need if you are passionate about the game and want to have chill and fun time

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online] [Other] [Sunday 12pm EST] War of the Twin Goddesses, a newcomer friendly Shadow of the Demon Lord campaign.

1 Upvotes

The empire has fallen and the Cult of Darkness festers in the land, growing in the power vacuum left behind. The land is in chaos and the task may fall upon unlikely heroes to rise and save the world from the darkness.

I apologize if that premise sounds a bit basic. I had posted here earlier with a link to a video I had made to introduce the setting in a more interesting format, but it was removed. I’d be happy to share the video upon request in private messages.

I am looking for 4-5 players to join this campaign. Newcomers are welcome, weather you’re new to RPGs or this ruleset in particular, you’re welcome to join and I can help where needed.

The ruleset used for this campaign is Shadow of the Demon Lord, which is comparable to D&D 5e. To put it in reductive terms, SotDL is like a different version of 5e. The most notable difference is character creation and levelling. Players start as level 0 characters where they choose only their race and profession. Once the party reaches level 1, then players choose a path (paths are this game’s equivalent to classes). At higher levels, players will choose extra paths for their characters.

The game uses milestone levelling, meaning that the party gains one level after each adventure. That being said, I aim to write adventures on the longer end, which I expect will take three to four sessions to complete, though for the first adventure which will take the party from level 0 to level 1, I aim to have that be short enough to finish in one session.

The maximum level is 10, so allow that to inform expectations regarding campaign length.

There is no session zero, as character creation is really simple and thus, doesn’t warrant a group meeting to work on character sheets together. Copies of the rulebook will be provided to players. If you need help with character creation, I can help but I would suggest at least trying to figure it out on your own first.

As for tools, we will be using Discord for communication and Owlbear Rodeo for combat grids and tokens. For character sheets, players will be provided with fillable character sheet pdfs, though you are free to find whatever method you’d like for recording your character.

Sessions will be held on a discord server weekly at 12pm EST on Sundays. Sessions will last until 4pm. If you are interested, please private message me here on reddit, where we can exchange discord information. I would like to talk to you over discord in a short interview, mostly to get to know you as a player. After a moment of consideration, I’ll let you know if you’re in the group or not. This process will hopefully not take too long. I will try my best as to not leave you in suspense for too long, letting you know as soon as possible where your membership in the group lies.

The first session will be this upcoming Sunday if we get enough players.

GM Needed by Existing Group [Online][5e 2014] [CET] [Mondays 19:00] Dedicated RP-Focused Group of 5 Seeking a DM for Homebrew Campaign!

0 Upvotes

Hi there honourable dungeon masters and storytellers! We’re a recently formed group of 5 players looking for a DM who has a homebrew fantasy world we can get lost in and a long running campaign that we can all see grow and develop as the game goes on!

In terms of setting preference, we’re primarily looking for a traditional high-fantasy world. We enjoy the versatility that high fantasy offers and the wide range of stories it can support which gives a lot of themes a story can go through! While we appreciate darker themes when they serve the story, we’re not particularly interested in sci-fi settings, grimdark worlds, or campaigns heavily focused on gritty survival.

As a group we all share a strong interest in roleplay, character development, party dynamics and stories that feel personal to the characters involved. One of the biggest things we’re hoping to find is a DM who enjoys incorporating our character backstories into the broader narrative/world allowing character arcs to develop naturally alongside the story.

Outside of roleplay we value consistency (Showing up), being one of the key factors of a long running group and also care to be attentive and engaged players when we are at the table! Communication in general is also one of the best tools when issues arise, and keeps everything running smoothly so things don’t fall through. We also enjoy the use of webcams to increase the social aspect of the game!

Ultimately, we’re looking for a DM who enjoys building a story with their players, values strong character involvement, and is interested in creating a long-term campaign where both the world and the characters can grow together. But most of all someone we can also call a friend and hang out with!

System requirements: DND 2014

Availability: Monday: 19:00-23:00 CET, Wednesday: (some exceptions) 19:00-23:00 CET

Preferred way to play: Discord for voice and camera, any VTT

Here is a bit about us:

Luke (M, 23, He/him): Hi there! I’m a video editor and part time gamer from the Netherlands. I like to make music with my band and hang out with friends in the meantime! Ive been playing DnD for roughly 8 years by now and get a lot of my enjoyment in the roleplay and dynamic of a party. Seeing what sort of worlds other DM’s have made is incredibly cool and I love to learn about others settings!

Matt (M, 27, He/Him): Greetings! I'm Matt, an Ex-Esports player Gymbro. Currently working together with Best friend and roommate on making our own VTT, public soon! I love passion, and I believe DND can be an aspiring tool in order to discover, explore and share one's passion to another through immersive Roleplaying. Please give me your worst, a challenge, a path and I'll bring the Wrath. See more of me on Youtube > Roll For Impact > The Stranger > Nylus von Stonen

Sori/Lukas (M, 27, he/him): Hi there! I'm currently finishing my education/training to be a kindergarten teacher, after which I'd love to go study social work. I've been a player and dm for roughly 11~ years now. Mostly played VtR before switching to DnD. My favorite part about roleplaying is definitely the deep diving we as a group do, in each individual backstory or overarching plotline of the campaign, while we grow as a party IC and OOC.

Diana (26, She/Her): Hi, I’m currently a student studying for my postgraduate degree! In my free time I love to play video games, read, make videos, and just hang out with friends! I’ve been playing D&D since 2020 and my favorite thing about it is being able to create and tell an interesting story with other amazing, creative players! I love going in depth into characters backstories and how their motivations can really drive the parties goals. I’ll talk for hours after a session about the world we’re set in and the characters everyone has developed!

Jack (20, He/Him): Hi! I’m a student studying Film Production! I’m a big video gamer, reader and card gamer! I’ve been playing dnd for about 7 or 8 years now and whilst the majority of my time has been as a player recently I’ve been a forever DM (as of the past 3 years I haven’t been a player once!!! 😭😭😭) My favourite part of dnd has to be the collaborative storytelling with how the players and dm interact together to create both an overarching plotline but also individual character arcs!

Player(s) Needed by GM [other][online][PT][Monday][18+]Pirate Borg 1-2 More Player Wanted

1 Upvotes

Greetings, scoundrels, thieves, rogues, and pirates.

I'm running a short to medium length Pirate Borg campaign and looking for 1–2 more players to join the filthy ranks. You'll be thrown into a lethal sandbox in the Caribbean during the Golden Age of Piracy, where war, undead horrors, occult forces, and general madness are dragging the world toward apocalypse.

You won't be playing heroic do-gooders. You'll be desperate bastards with loaded pistols, questionable morals, and whatever ambitions you can keep alive long enough to pursue. There is no predetermined story you're expected to follow. Characters are randomly rolled, death is very much on the table, and what you do with the miserable life the dice give you is entirely up to you. Become a legendary pirate. Steal a ship. Hunt horrors for silver. Get filthy rich. Become an exotic drug kingpin. Start a war. Or simply try to survive the end of the world.

I've already got three solid players, and we're setting sail next Monday. Sessions run weekly on Mondays at 7 PM PT for roughly 3–4 hours, using Foundry with Discord for voice. The crew is established and the game is happening, no weeks of session zeros or waiting around to get things off the ground. Pirate Borg is rules-light and easy to learn; no experience is required.

Roll a character. Play next Monday.

If you're interested, shoot me a DM with a little about yourself, why you want to join, and what you're hoping to get out of the game. We'll go from there.

Bring rum. Bring powder. Bring a spare character.

Player(s) Needed by GM [Online][Voiced][Dnd 5e 2024][Dark Matter][Saturdays 10pm EST] Dreaming of the treasures buried in the stars.

1 Upvotes

The universe is nearly infinite, countless planets, boundless stretches of void filled with an innumerable number of sights and new things to explore. From ancient space pirate treasures, rogue AI amassing on distant worlds, interstellar wars, roving bandits, star faring beasts, and god knows what else roaming through the vastness of space. With Towering Empires, Planetary Kingdoms, and Trade Unions splitting the known galaxies into their own property.

This is the universe you live in, one of near infinite possibilities, and near infinite opportunities. Where you can be what ever you want to be, an explorer who charts planets unknown, a mercenary who aids planets with their internal conflicts, a scholar researching the ancient magic of dead worlds, a treasure hunter seeking vast wealth from long dead pirate lords, or perhaps a thief trying to build a collection of the most valuable arts across the universe. With the agency to explore any, and all opportunities layed before you.

Some of the things you'll have to look forward to in a campaign like this.

Roleplay- A vast collection of lore, and resources from Dark Matter, Spelljammers, and Additional Content added in from other smaller sources. All striving to give you access to playing your Sci-Fantasy dream.

Intense Space Battles- Battle in both Vessel V Vessel battles, and boarding missions to steal cargo, info, and whatever else may catch your eyes.

Indepth Social Encounters- Steer through strange encounters of varying levels of the social ladder, from tribal chiefs, to powerful icons within the trade unions, or nobles with immeasurable pull within the Empire.

unique Blends- Mix Magic and Technology, Science and the Occult, from mana fueled warp drives, to lightning firing cannons that'll strip apart ships, or strange portals that bridge impossible gaps, to the HoloWeb that connects one information source to another.

One of A Kind Boss Fights- Fight powerful monster with unique abilities, battle enemy ships with special properties, Warlord with more minions to throw at you then stars in the sky.

On to where you'll be starting, to give you a vague sense of how you'll be embarking on the journey across the stars. This brings us to now, aboard the Imperial Prison Work Vessel 137-56JZ. A place where, for one reason or another, you found yourself working to pay off your debt to The Empire, for whatever crime, or mistake you made. Being used to scuttle and harvest broken and abandoned ships in The Hulking Ring (think Saturns rings, made of old space ships that drift into a giant planets orbit.), working on a small crew with the express goal of salvaging metal and components. Though sometimes, sometimes there's something far, far more valuable then old junk and broken data pads, something that could set you on a whole new course.

In case you can't tell, this is a very sci-fi sort of Star Wars meets Treasure Planet game, exploring dangerous planets, avoiding the law, hunting great and powerful treasures. During this game we'll be using the Dark Matter 5.5E book to reach a certain level of tech, have no fear I own it! So you'll be able to read it to your hearts content. Our game will be run in Roll 20, using their sheets and maps, while using Discord for our calls. I am happy to answer any questions during the interview steps!

Player(s) Needed by GM [Other] [Online] Dark Gritty horror conspiracy superhero game

1 Upvotes

So I'm running a horror game including cosmic horror, body and psychological horror, modern day conspiracy... but with super powers.

I'm using Wild Talents, a game from the same people that made Delta Green, though the system is quite different. Happy to teach!

We are leaning into low level powers, in a world where no one has been known to have powers before: think of the TV shows Heroes and 4400. But with horror. Call of C'thulhu, X-files blended in.

We are playing on Discord for voice and using Foundry, though the Foundry rules set for this has some major flaws, but we can put character sheets and make die rolls with it.

We have three players, though not gonna lie, I'm not sure one of them is reliable yet. I think the other two are. But could use about two more players, maybe three.

Will be playing Tuesdays, 7 pm CST, til about 10 pm.

THEME:

Up until the point we start playing no person has ever experienced powers. Imagine literally no powers existed.

The premise is a new pain reliever called Relivia came out with no apparent, side effects, and pain relieving properties.

Turns out there was a side effect, but it was such a tiny percentage of the population that it wasn’t noticed in FDA trials.

For a tiny tiny minority of Patients it became horribly addictive, and caused psychotic breaks.

After a massive lawsuit, the makers of this pain reliever were forced to open up a rehab center to cure everyone of this addiction.

And this is where the game starts.

I’m having everyone a background of their character who they were before, what caused them to start using this pain reliever, and a psychotic break that caused them to be admitted to this rehab center.

I am making the powers in secret based on the feedback from the players backgrounds. And you’ll discover these powers in play.

Anyone interested?

Group Needed by Player [Online][2014, 2024 or Other][UTC+2][LGBT+] Player Looking for a weekly Mon, Tue, or Wed Group

0 Upvotes

I’m a 23-year-old (He/Him) intern spending the school year in a new town where I literally know nobody. Honestly, there is no better time for me to finally take my RPG obsession online.

I have two 6-month offline campaigns under my belt, plus some BG3 and D&D podcasts, so I know my way around a character sheet, but I am totally new to online play and virtual tabletops. Playstyle-wise, I am a big fan of deep roleplay mixed with a bit of combat. I am highly adaptable. I can bring a character with a complex backstory, or write down a concept and let the world shape me.

I am strictly looking for an LGBTQ+ friendly table. It is a giant plus if you are a group that sees yourselves playing together long-term.

Because of my work schedule, my Thursday evenings are completely blocked. My weekends are mostly blank, but they can be a bit unpredictable, so weekdays are definitely the safest bet. My exact availability in UTC+2 is:
Mondays anytime after 11:30.
Tuesdays anytime after 14:00.
Wednesdays anytime after 17:00. (once a month its 17:30)
My schedule changes

If you have any questions, feel free to ask

GM Needed by Existing Group Group of 5 new and experienced players looking for DM [ONLINE] [5e 2024] [5e 2014] [CST] [TUE] [THUR]

0 Upvotes

Hi, 27F in the USA, OK. My D&D group and I are looking for a DM to run a side campaign for us. Our current DM (my boyfriend) no longer has the setup at the moment to host, but we all still want to play, so we need another DM who is welcome to be a player in his campaign when it's back up and running. We are using D&D Beyond for both character sheets and VTT. I have a server we use for VC. If you are interested in being our DM, DM me.
We are into lore and chaotic dice, fueling legendary D&D campaigns in a safe, proudly queer-friendly 21-plus space. Neurodivergent-aware, low-pressure vibes mix with adult humor, respectful boundaries, hype energy, memes, and found-family friendships built for nerds who love storytelling.
I'm looking forward to making some new friends and starting a grand adventure!! The Discord server/campaign is 21+.
We are a group of 5 looking for a steampunk-infused story. A few of us have joint backstories and multiclasses. We're starting at level 1. We're planning on Tuesday or Thursday sessions in the evening CST. 
With that said, if you are interested in joining or have any questions, DM me. We'd love to have you!

Player(s) Needed by GM Looking for ESL Learners to Join a Cohort for a TTRPG Based English course [Online] [D&D 3.5]

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m currently developing and piloting an English language course that uses elements from games like D&D as a way for ESL learners to practice real time, in-context, communication, and I’m looking for learners who would be interested in joining a pilot cohort.

The course is 100% free and designed primarily for intermediate English learners (approximately CEFR B1–B2) who want more opportunities to actually USE English rather than only study grammar and vocabulary.

Instead of a traditional class format, much of the course takes place through a collaborative roleplaying campaign. Players create characters, investigate problems, negotiate with NPCs, make decisions as a group, and respond to unexpected situations. All in English.

The goal is to give learners repeated practice with skills such as:

* speaking spontaneously

* explaining ideas and opinions

* asking follow-up questions

* negotiating and reaching group decisions

* describing events, people, places, and actions

* listening to other speakers and responding appropriately

* developing confidence communicating in English

*You do not need any previous tabletop RPG experience.*

The game system is being simplified specifically for use in an ESL course, so learning complicated game rules is not the point.

System will be a modified D&D 3.5

Because this is a pilot, I’ll also be asking participants for feedback about the experience. I’m particularly interested in learning what parts of the course are engaging, confusing, useful, or difficult so I can improve the program before offering it more broadly.

The planned course includes an initial individual session followed by a small-group campaign, so I’m looking for people who are interested in participating consistently rather than joining for only a single game session.

If you:

• are an adult ESL learner around the B1–B2 level

• enjoy games, storytelling, or collaborative activities

• want more practice speaking and interacting in English

• are comfortable participating in a pilot program and giving feedback

I’d love to hear from you.

If you're interested, send me a DM or comment below, and I can provide more information about the course, scheduling, expectations, and how the pilot will work.

And if you know an English learner who might enjoy something like this, feel free to share the post with them.

Thanks!

28 years old here. Looking for a game in any system. I've played and DMd various games over the past 8 or so years, including ones in DnD 5e, GURPS, Lancer, and a few more smaller systems. I'm totally LGBTQ friendly.

No huge preference in RP or Combat focus, but I enjoy a nice balance when possible.

Discord is YogPoz and will be the best place to message me.

Best days are Tuesdays but others may be doable

Group Needed by Player [Online][PF2e][UTC+1/CET][Sun/Mon/Tue/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday] Experienced PF2e Player Looking for a Weekly Game

0 Upvotes

Hi, I’m looking to join a regular online Pathfinder 2e game on Sundays, Mondays, or Tuesdays.

I’ve been playing PF2e for about four years, plus several more years in other systems. I know the PF2e rules well, enjoy character building, and try to make characters that fit the party and campaign instead of just chasing mechanics.

I’m looking for a consistent group with clear communication, regular sessions, and a table where people respect each other’s time. I show up prepared, follow table rules, pay attention during sessions, and try to contribute to both the story and the group dynamic.

Voice: Discord preferred
VTT: Comfortable with Foundry VTT and Roll20, but I do not mind adapting to other options. On the rare chance you use Tabletop Simulator, I have it.
Game type: Long-term campaign preferred, but I’m open to trying a shorter game first

I'm not looking for paid games.

I’m happy to answer questions, talk through playstyle, or anything else needed. Feel free to DM me if you have a spot open and think I might fit your group.

GM Needed by Existing Group [Online] [5e 2024] [GMT+8] 4 players looking for a DM on Tue/Wed nights (9PM-12AM), starting Oct

2 Upvotes

Hey folks,

We're a small group of 4 players based in GMT+8 looking for a DM to be the lead storyteller in a table for a campaign! We're aiming for an October start, on either Tuesday, or Wednesday night.

Quick background:

We've all played a few campaigns before, so we're not totally fresh, but definitely still on the novice side. We know how to roll attacks and spells, we won't be rules lawyering you or min-maxing everything. We're in it for the fun and the story.

As for playstyle: we like a good mix of everything. Combat's great, but we also enjoy exploring weird places, RPing and building relationships with NPCs rather than just treating them as quest dispensers. We like following story threads and getting invested in plotlines, we won't be the type to go totally off the rails just to be chaotic. We're collaborative and generally just down to have a good time.

What we're looking for in a DM:

Honestly, just someone who's chill and wants to tell a story with us. We're not looking for a hardcore tactical simulator or a DM vs players vibe. We respect the rules but rule of cool can come into play sometimes. Whether you have years of experience under your belt or if you're new to DMing and want to start your journey, we're totally fine with both! We're patient and won't get mad if you forget a ruling, we'll just roll with it.

We're okay with all VTTs (we usually use foundry, previously used roll20 so we're proficient in both! ;)

Most importantly: we respect each other's time and stay engaged during the session. 9PM to 12AM GMT+8 is locked in for us, and we're looking for someone who can commit to that too.

If this sounds like a fit, hit me up on Reddit DM. Just tell us a bit about yourself, how old you are, your DM style, and if you've got any campaign modules or ideas in mind (or if you want us to pick a module), feel free to ask us questions too! We're pretty easygoing.

Cheers,

The Group
