Description

I'm looking for players 25+, who can attend the game at 6PM CEST Saturdays weekly, can communicate and are mature enough to play in a darker game. I shall respond withn 10 days of today (before 23.09) You have been chosen to attend a prestigious monster hunter academy in the Misty Plains. In this campaign you will battle across different test and tournaments, manage the socio-political environment of the academy, as well as do your best to achieve academic success. This game will host 3-5 players starting level one. We will be using a lot of homebrew rules as well as DnD 5e 2014 community update called 5.19 edition, which brings a lot of refreshment to normal 5e mechanics, while including a lot of new options. House Rules: Setting: A Belle Époque-inspired world recovering from ages of destruction and suffering. Gods have mostly abandoned the world, magic is scarce, and ancient artifacts are highly sought after. The Land of Sain is harsh but hopeful, with people banding together against ancient threats. Expect occasional futuristic or silly elements alongside the darker themes. Levels & Multiclassing: Characters can freely advance to level 8. Further advancement requires rituals or other means of overcoming their mortal limits. Normal multiclassing is impossible because conflicting energies would drive the character insane. Certain rituals can allow class levels to be exchanged for another class at a cost. Ability Scores: At character creation, roll 3d6 for each ability until the total is at least 60. ASIs are replaced by feats. Characters can also gain +1 to any ability score when they accomplish notable goals or feats, at the GM's discretion. Legendary Creatures: Legendary Resistances and Actions are replaced by Legendary Break Points. These regenerate each round and can be spent on defensive abilities, counterspell, dispel magic, removing conditions, legendary actions, or a powerful Break Ability. Legendary creatures use fixed initiative and have two designated windows for legendary abilities, making their threats more predictable. Spellbook Machinations: Some spells belong to restricted groups and require an appropriate reason for a character to learn them. Certain spells can also corrupt their users, potentially changing alignment or severing divine connections. Dynamic Attunement: Attunement slots equal your proficiency bonus. Uncommon items use 1 slot, while rare and very rare items use 2, with higher tiers costing more. Items belonging to a set or that specifically choose their wielder do not consume attunement slots. Death Rules: When reduced to 0 HP, a character chooses one death move:
  • Blaze of Glory: Take one final action that automatically critically succeeds (with GM approval), then die.
- Avoid Death: Fall unconscious and survive, but suffer consequences. Afterward, roll a d20; if the result is equal to or below your level, gain a permanent Scar. Six Scars kill you. Resurrection can remove some Scars.
  • Risk it All: Roll a d20. 1–10 means death; 11–19 means you remain in combat with HP equal to your level + proficiency bonus; 20 restores half your HP and grants one use of your class's Signature Ability.nscious and survive, but suffer consequences. Afterward, roll a d20; if the result is equal to or below your level, gain a permanent Scar. Six Scars kill you. Resurrection can remove some Scars.

[Please note the game is being played on Tuesdays at 6pm-10pm BST] Greetings, I am searching for one player to join an ongoing 5e game that heavily focuses around Steinhardt's guide to the eldritch hunt. The first thing to preface is the timing, the day cannot be changed as all players currently have commitments on all other days of the week, the starting hour could however be moved by an hour if necessary. The next thing anyone interested in should be made aware of is how "existing" the group is. By mid September we will have been playing for a year, though as people have become unavailable we have had one person join us in January and he has been with us longer than he hasn't so I would hope the same could be the case for you. A few more pieces of housekeeping would be mentioning the current group size. We have been running a group of 5 players for the majority of the campaign with my general ethos being wanting to run unless we have 2 people missing, recently one of the players has had to move to bi weekly and another has left due to simply not being able to make time for the game anymore. That has left us with a part size of 3-4. Hence is the reason for this post, as I would like someone to make take that number back to a party size of 4-5. With that out of the way, what game would you actually be joining? This campaign uses a lot of material provided by Steinhardt's guide to the eldritch hunt a 5e supplement by Monkey Dm, along with pieces of the additional story Heresy of Steel, all smoothed over with a narrative created by myself and the players. You may take the role of a hunter, a tool against the tide of beasts that plague the once fair city of Luyarnha, one experimented on by the enigmatic Obitus Scholare to be a perfect tool, or perhaps just someone looking to save themselves and those they care about. Maybe you are one of the many magically inclined individuals, one who has their upmost faith in the radiant one, or perhaps you attempt to understand the great ones who's presence lingers through every shadow of the city, all while trying to not go mad yourself. You could even be an unfortunate traveller, one who broke the lockdown on the city and has now been dragged far from home. Steinhardt's wears it's Bloodborne inspiration on it's sleeve so you can expect a similar similar oppressive atmospheres, deadly beasts and accursed nightmares. Additionally you can expect a setting with the beginnings of modern technology reminiscent of the industrial revolution. You can expect trains, guns and the earliest of cameras, though most people still travel via horses. If you are at all interested please contact me here or using Discord to discuss further details.

Emberfell - Homebrew D&D 5e Campaign.

Emberfell — Homebrew D&D 5e Campaign (Roll20, Level 3 Start)System: D&D 5e. Platform: Roll20, with a potential switch to Foundry VTT as sessions progress - voice via Discord. Format: Long-term homebrew campaign, multi-arc. Starting Level: 3 Players Needed: Additional 3 to 4 players. Currently have 1. Beginner-Friendly, no 5e experience required - those with experience will be prioritized. Schedule: Sundays, Weekly/bi-weekly - exact 2/3hr slot to be agreed with the group in advance, weekly, between the hours of 3pm and 9pm. The Pitch: Emberfell is a world that broke and never fully recovered - the sun's been dim since a calamity nobody can fully explain, and nobody living remembers it any other way. You'll start as a hired escort for a noble house's cargo, but a theft in a back alley on your first night out is going to pull you into something much bigger: an exiled angel bargaining with demons, a game piece that shouldn't be as powerful as it is, and a child who isn't supposed to still be alive. Tone: Tone is dark, but not grim-dark - morally grey NPC's, Real consequences, some geniune horror beats, but plenty of room for humor & for player-driven stories to unfold at the (virtual) table. Session 0 covers safety tools, such as safe words, topics a player wouldn't want within the campaign & tone expectations before we start. Looking for: Players who actually want to engage with the plot, NPC's & roleplays. Someone who will show up consistently, and is fine with a slower-burn mystery campaign, rather than pure dungeon crawling. New to 5e format is fine, as long as you actually want to roleplay. Drop a comment or DM if interested - Discord is attached. Add me or shoot me a message, and I'll send over some in-game lore so you can get a feel for the world, followed by a character creation guide (races, tone, what fits the setting) to get your character sorted. Once everyone's set, we'll run an online Session 0 as a group - safety tools, expectations, and a chance to actually meet each other before anything's played out. From there, each of you gets a quick one-to-one Session 0.5: a short solo scene built around your character's own backstory, no other players involved. Session 1 is where the party's characters actually meet each other for the first time. Thanks!!

Eye of the Dunes

Newbie friendly
New players are welcome, and nobody expects you to know the rules beforehand.
LGBTQ+ Friendly! Welcome everyone! My name is Love. Me and my friend Catie are looking to start up a mini-campaign, we've found 2 lovely people, so we're on the hunt for 2 more players to join us! If this post is still up we're still looking for good folks :) I've introduced a lot of people to the game so I think I'm in a good posi-sh to help anybody learn, my patience is boundless I promise. Eye of the Dunes: A rumor glides on the wind throughout Faerun, from the high courts to the damp alleyways. Kings and orphans alike whisper of the Eye of the Dunes, a wondrous mote of magic said to be able to grant its claimant any wish they desire. It lies sleeping somewhere deep, deep in the deserts of Calimshan, untouched under centuries of blowing winds, for we would surely know if someone had found it. You have banded together with a few other adventurers to brave the sands, an uneasy alliance at best, as in the end only one of you can wield the Eye. There's a lead in the capital city of Calimport, a café owner claims to know something the general populace doesn't, so you've set sail on an overcrowded galleon. You are not the first to try, but perhaps you will be the last.     We play on Foundry (veeery fancy) in a discord call     The campaign is set at a higher level, 8-10, and will last 3-5 session     We'd prefer players around our own age (20 - 34)     We love messing around and making jokes, but we do try to actually tell a story and often roleplay seriously with emotion. I try to be descriptive!     I am from Sweden and my friend is Australian (though a real night-owl), so we can't really play after 19:00 GMT+2     I won't tolerate NASTY behavior, you know, let's have a Good Time, Owl City & Carly Rae Jepson-style     No AI, come on, what are we doing here? About you: Please send us a message telling us about yourself! Stuff like where you're from, what kind of person you'd describe yourself as, your hobbies and so on. To make sure we don't invite EVIL people we need to know who you are, so share as much as you feel comfortable with. Trust me we'll read every word! We'd love to stay in touch and play games once the campaign is done, but no pressure! Thank you for reading, hope to hear from you :) (P.S: happy to share stuff about ourselves too if you have questions!)
