Description

Vibe: Grimdark, high fantasy, found family, dungeon crawl I'm looking for players who enjoy the tension of resource management and clever problem-solving over "face-tanking" monsters. Tone: I'm not going to say the tone will be intentionally comedic or serious, as I can understand that it can be difficult for people to successfully pull off either, so it's going to be more of a playing be ear of seeing what players I get and seeing where it goes, and hopefully having those funny or serious moments come organically rather than intentionally. DM Style: I'm aiming for something very RP heavy. Low on combat. I'll try to make combat's more like puzzles that you can solve almost instantly rather than health bars you have to chip away at. If an entire session is just the players and NPC's talking to each other, and they've barely moved from where they started, I would consider that a perfect session. Schedule: Every other [Saturday/Sunday], 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM EST (GMT-5). Platforms: discord(voice), owlbear rodeo My Motivation: I just really like the fantasy setting. I have no idea why. I saw this system on Dungeons & Daddies and became intrigued by the "classic" toned down vibe. My preference for fantasy is the grit of adventuring balanced with the ever growing party dynamics, so I thought it a perfect fit. Oh, and to make friends. This feels like the easiest way to meet people who are also into fantasy. I've yet to read the material, so it'll probably be a week or two until the first session. But just DM me if you're interested and I'll DM you once I've set everything up.

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!

Friday Shadowdark @ Geeks & Games, Oregon City, OR

You're an explorer, looking for gold, gems, magic, and power. Join us for Shadowdark and Swyvers, two D&D-adjacent games with an OSR flair that are easy to learn and a blast to play. What does the world look like where Ramlaat the Pillager, god of Chaos, has been brought low? Find out as Jason leads us through adventures and dungeons in the frozen Daj Kodan in Shadowdark. Or get up to debauchery as a criminal bastard in The Smoke, the biggest, dirtiest city in the world of Swyvers. Josh leads us as we delve into the dark underworld of The Midden and kidnap rat babies for fun. Both games are open tables with friendly players. We fill up - RSVP now! Shadowdark is a popular, approachable, quick-to-learn system that draws on the best features of D&D 5E and combines them with an intense role-playing experience in which you, as the player, determine your actions. With a focus on getting into the action and focusing on play, not rules, Shadowdark won four industry awards, including Best Game 2024.
