Tomb of annihalation

I’m the DM for our Sunday night group. Our group recently lost one of our players. We are looking for a replacement who will fit into the table. Current campaign is CoS. We’re about half way through. The first thing to note is you should be looking for a table/group, not a game. Yes, we’re of course running a campaign right now. But the idea is we’ll be doing future campaigns as well. We have a good group going, get along well, mesh well, and I put it together with the intent of being a group of friends gaming rather than a group of randos playing a campaign. (We all did meet here in LFG). So preference actually goes to people for whom this would be the only game you’ll be in versus people in 6 games a week. On that note, experience doesn’t matter. Heck, in some ways less can be better. We don’t need a professional player. Meshing with everyone as a player is 100% what we’re looking for. So what will help you mesh the best? Here’s a few quick bullets: - Women preferred. The person who dropped out was a woman. We’d like to keep the same dynamics if possible. We are currently 3 women, 2 guys. - You should like story telling role play. Note this may be different than just role playing a character. Here’s a test: you come upon a tower in the forest, inside of which is your objective. The DM asks you to describe the tower to the group and explain what is stopping you from just walking in. If that sounds like “work” to you or there’s a bit of “that’s what the DM is for.” I get it. But you’ll probably find our play style tedious and exhausting. We are definitely not a “just get to the action” type of group. - Age: be 30+. We’re all 30+ with kids, careers, lives, etc. For multiple reasons you being in the same boat will make everyone have more fun (including you). - Have some tech ability or ability to learn. You don’t need to be a tech guru. But if you haven’t grasped the basics of the VTT by session 5 or so we can’t stop to help you out every time it’s your turn. We use FG. Powerful for DMs (yay me), not the most user-friendly UI/UX. - No goofy shit for characters, etc. No hate on that type of play, just not what we’re doing in this group. Think more GoT type play than “I ride around as a mushroom person on my tiny pet squirrel” type of play. - Enjoy a more hardcore style of play rather than typical power fantasy of 5e. Magic is toned down significantly. Long rests are rare. Much more gritty feeling than standard DnD. If you play DnD just to roll some dice and kill some orcs to blow off steam, you won’t enjoy our game. This is more like “my character is always on 2 levels of exhaustion, my spell slots are burned, I don’t have any potions, and now I’m supposed to go dive into this creepy dungeon???? Wtf!?” - Be ok with natural consequences and a DM who may say “no” to things. Not to kill creativity, but just like no, you can’t charm the king into letting you go free after you just killed his daughter. There’s no scenario that exists that will get you out of the predicament you’re currently in based on your choices. How the story develops from here (see the role play above) is yet to be seen. If this sounds like fun or your kind of group, or you just want to hear more, hit me up.

I wasn't finding enough games to join that had everything I needed and that would also get back to me. So, I decided I'd try to find the right people for me this way! Hello, I am Grill! I am a silly gal and you can find some basic info about me in my player profile ^^ I am not the GM, and I am willing to let the future GM have full creative freedom for the story. All I ask is that the campaign we do be suitable for both teens and adults. And please let me be able to be silly and whimsical! Perhaps a fairy!!! Homebrew is very much allowed!

[5e 2014] DM Looking for 5 Premade Players — 3-Month Sunday Campaign Hey everyone! I'm a longtime online DM with a homebrew campaign that I'm really excited to run. The campaign is designed for 5 players and will run for approximately 3 months on Sunday mornings. The catch: I'm specifically looking for a premade group of 5 players who already know and have played with each other for more than a few sessions. I'm looking to give another DM a break for a few months by running their group through my campaign. Each player would play their own PC during the sessions. You'll need access to Foundry VTT and Discord. The Setting The campaign takes place in Sanctuary, a massive underground dystopian city built from the remnants of a dying world. The surface is nearly dead. An enormous creature from beyond this world has been slowly feeding on the life of the planet. The land is becoming a wasteland, earthquakes tear through what remains, and civilization has collapsed across much of the world. Only a handful of powerful cities remain. Sanctuary is one of them. Home to powerful wizards, ancient magic, wealthy merchants, and dangerous guilds, the city should be humanity's greatest hope for survival. Instead, its wizards are too busy fighting over power, politics, and their own interests to deal with the world dying around them. The Fae Queens are barely holding the last remnants of life together. The surface is dying. The city is cracking. And something is coming. Campaign Tone The campaign is heavily inspired by: Dragon Age Warhammer: Age of Sigmar The Witcher Dark Souls Forgotten Realms He Who Fights with Monsters Brandon Sanderson It's a mix of dark fantasy, exploration, large-scale battles, political conflict, strange magic, and player-driven choices. Your decisions can have lasting consequences on the city, its people, and the factions within it. Game Rules D&D 5e 2014 Mostly standard rules Most official 2014 content is allowed Tasha's Cauldron of Everything is generally allowed Very few house-rule adjustments Homebrew content is available for the setting, including some homebrew classes Character creation will be discussed with the group before play Game Requirements Foundry VTT installed on your PC Discord installed on your PC A good-quality microphone Ability to communicate clearly through Discord A reasonably quiet playing environment Reliable attendance Schedule Sundays: 8:15 AM – 11:15 AM CST There will be a 15-minute break in the middle of the session. The campaign is expected to run for approximately 3 months. What I'm Looking For I'm specifically looking for 5 players who already play together and have good chemistry as a group. You don't need to be professional roleplayers or hardcore D&D veterans. I'm mainly looking for a group that: Gets along well Works together Enjoys roleplay Is comfortable communicating over Discord Shows up consistently Wants to experience a campaign where their choices actually matter If your regular DM wants a break for a few months, this might be a good fit. If you're interested, send me a Reddit DM with a little information about your group: How long you've been playing together How many players are in the group Your general D&D experience Confirmation that Sunday 8:15–11:15 AM CST works for everyone A little about what your group enjoys most about D&D The Hook The world is dying. The surface has become a wasteland. Something from beyond this world has been feeding on the life of the planet, and the civilizations that once stood against it are mostly gone. What remains survives beneath the earth. Sanctuary is one of the last great cities of the mortal realm — a massive underground civilization built by people who fled the dying surface. It is a city of powerful wizards, ancient magic, wealthy merchants, dangerous guilds, and ordinary people simply trying to survive. But Sanctuary has a problem. The wizards who rule the city are too busy fighting over power, politics, research, and old grudges to agree on what should be done about the world outside. Meanwhile, the surface continues to die. You aren't a legendary hero. Not yet, anyway. You're an adventurer who needs gold. Fortunately, there's always work for people willing to risk their lives. The Retrievers Guild specializes in recovering magical artifacts, lost knowledge, and valuable resources from places no sane person would willingly visit. You've spent weeks looking for work. Today, you finally get a contract. A surface expedition. Good pay. Valuable discoveries. A chance to make a name for yourselves. Your group arrives at the Retrievers Guild warehouse. Hundreds of adventurers are preparing for the expedition. Wagons are being loaded. Weapons are being checked. Spells are being prepared. Your contract seems simple: Protect the expedition. Protect each other. Bring back what you find. But the surface has secrets. The Drow are moving. The Fae are dying. Something is hunting the survivors of the old world. And the deeper you get into the ruins of what came before, the more obvious it becomes that this expedition isn't just about treasure. The world is dying. Sanctuary is running out of time. And eventually, you'll have to decide what you're willing to do about it. Will you protect Sanctuary? Change it? Or burn it down and build something better? That choice belongs to you.
