Description

Hey, everyone. I'm looking for 5 players tops who may be interested in joining a Shadowdark table I want to start up. I'm also thinking of running pre-written adventures for now with no emphasis on a overarching campaign plot or anything. We'll have a session 0 where we'll go over character creation, house rules, get to know each other a bit, and possibly have enough time to do a quick one-shot, but that depends. And the first module we'll go through is TBD. System: Shadowdark, and only the core rule book. If you're coming from 5E, think of Shadowdark as a more stream-lined system with some more lethality added to it. I'll be linking the Player's Quickstart Guide in the Discord server I set up. What tools will we be using? Owlbear Rodeo for VTT use, and Discord for voice communication. Some maps will be run via Theater of the Mind. Availability: Bi-weekly sessions. Day of the week TBD. Sessions to run approximately 3 hours each. How to learn more? Check out this player's guide I've linked here: [Log in to view] House Rules: [Log in to view] About me/my interests: I enjoy to read, am a big fan of horror, and have been recently dipping into fantasy as well. I'm currently reading Before They Are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie. Would recommend. I've DMed a few times for both DnD and Shadowdark, but want to get more experience in Shadowdark specifically as I appreciate its more rules-lite nature. Lastly, my pronouns are he/him and I am 33 years old. How to join or get started? Please fill out the form below so I can learn a little bit about yourself, and then I'll reach out to you. Hope to hear from you! Player Recruitment Form: [Log in to view]

The Gloaming Marches -Shadowdark Hex Crawl/Sandbox

Newbie friendly
New players are welcome, and nobody expects you to know the rules beforehand.
Game Type: Sandbox/Hex Crawl/Adventure Communication: Discord for voice/ Hosted on Forge-VTT (need forge account (free) ) Seats 4-5 Beyond Marin’s Hold lies the Gloaming and the Western Reaches: a wilderness of drowned roads, forgotten keeps, isolated villages, and old things that have begun to stir. A Call to Action! A supply cart bound for Wardenwood has vanished. Its mule returned alone, half-blind and covered in pale mold. The only surviving cart hand remembers a tall, pointed stone bearing  a spiral shape, and lanterns moving through the trees. The missing cargo included medicine for Wardenwood which they cannot survive without and a sealed parcel intended for one of its elders. Find the cart. Recover the supplies. Reach Wardenwood. Beyond that, the roads of the Gloaming and the Western Reaches are yours to explore! Contact me if you are interested in playing!

UNBOUND Playtest

Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
Playtest
The game is still being tested, and your feedback is part of the point.
Looking For: 3-5 players for an in-person playtest Location: Millbrook / Prattville / Wetumpka (Montgomery area works too) Play Style: In-person, tabletop, fantasy adventure Experience Needed: None Character Creation: Required (part of the playtest) Schedule: Flexible evenings or weekends System: UNBOUND, a custom system I've been developing I'm looking for 3-5 players to test out my anti-essentialist, leveled point buy TTRPG system. You build your character according to your fantasy, not class cages. Perks and Limitations define your build, and let you make your character the way YOU want, not the way a rulebook says you must. Every level gives you Build Points to grow your character in any direction, with no forced archetypes. Combat is dynamic, using Active Defenses, contested rolls, and armor as a damage reduction percentage. Magic is fluid, and almost any caster can heal, so nobody needs to play the healbot.  Come help my test out my system and try out something you didn't know you needed.

New players are welcome, and nobody expects you to know the rules beforehand.
Hello hello! I am Matthew. I am a new DM building a homebrew world, and I want your help filling in its history. Before my main campaign begins, I am running a series of one-shots set in "Year 0". This is when an apocalyptic cataclysm nearly ends the world. The future campaign will be set centuries afterward. When? I run my business from home and have a family, so M-F during the day works best. These one-shots will take place Tuesday through Thursday, between 9:00am and 2:00pm Central time (chicago area). If you work from home, work nights, or live in a time zone where this is your evening, this table is for you! What is it? You will play low- to mid-level heroes surviving the chaos of a larger conflict. You might be pulling off a desperate heist for a magical artifact, escorting refugees to safety, or holding the line against impossible odds. All of this happens under the shadow of the First King, whose mysterious sacrifice during this era saved the realm but cursed his bloodline forever. Legacy? Yup If you survive, I have a "Fortune & Fate" roll planned to help determine your character's epilogue. Though you will have plenty of creative control over their outcomes. Survive or not - your characters will become the myths, ancestors, and founders in the larger campaign!
