Description

“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.” Hello, and thank you for clicking. I'll try not to waste your time- Looking for a GM first and foremost, potentially a couple other players! Hi! My name is Seven/Flow/Ocean. I've been RPing for a good many years now, just around 10, having started from reasonably high-literacy even at my earliest days. I pride myself on my quality and ability to match other players length as to not clog up the chat, but still expand when I need too. I've been playing TTRPG's for around 4 years now, with a hefty focus on the system in question. DND2014/5e. I've played a few others, including a cobbled together Pokemon system I and my friends made for our own purposes. I've done public play-by-posts, private games like this one online, played in long-running IRL and online games, and generally have experience with all manner of IRL and Online games! I live in the Southern states, so CST (I.e. GMT-6) with a pretty open availability for the most part.  Most games are focused on power fantasies: slay the evil, fulfill the prophecy, become the chosen hero. It's fun, of course; who doesn't enjoy feeling unstoppable? Walking into a fight knowing you're the biggest thing in the room. It's satisfying and leads to some super sick scenes- But that's not what I'm craving right now! No, today I want struggle- Not neccesarily bad endings or being snatched or taken by the villain, but friction, frustration, etc. I want to sit there counting my gold and silver and actually have to choose between taking a new weapon, or do I stock up on potions because last time nearly killed me? Manage every resource I got, between income, sleep, and time- Even so far as trying to harvest specific bits of monsters because they sell better or going out at specific times for a hunt. I want the small stuff to matter; the quiet math of survival- Choosing party members for stats, abilities, temperament, who to put my trust into. Building bonds and butting heads but trying to keep tensions down without dying. I want to feel a loss of an ally, both in emotion and mechanic. A gap. I want to survive, to have a chance, to struggle but make it out and FEEL when I don't. My immediate feelings are probably obviously fantasy stuff, low magic, that sort- I'm most familiar with DnD5e but I'm MORE than aware that it doesn't wholly work for this. Dicelite, no dice, whatever the GM wishes for! I'm down. Now, in terms of NSFW presence; I would like a little bit! Preferably not nonstop fucking, but some smut here and there would be pleasant- A way to get closer with allies, take my mind off of things, make connections to use later- Whatever really! But it does sound like it'd be nice, and honestly, fantasy ERP is lovely! I am a Male, and lean dominant, for reference, but I am also Pan. Other kinks that may come up can be discussed within the game/DMs! DM me or comment here to chat! Include 'What a struggle.' in either to show you read through it all!

Pirates of Saltmarsh

Paid game
The Game Master charges a fee to run the game.
LGBTQ+ friendly
The table is openly welcoming to LGBTQ+ players.
This campaign is a different take on the module of "Ghosts of the Saltmarsh." We will be playing through the adventures in the module with character driven storylines. This is a naval campaign that will be taking place in waters of Faerun. So your character should have some connection to islands or the water. This campaign will take you down the path of piracy, political mystique, and underwater discovery. A mix of heavy combat, mystery solving, and medium roleplay. Character interaction is encouraged, but full on voices are not required. High Seas, High Fantasy, and Eldritch Horrors Level 1-10, with possibilities of higher levels depending on the game Go from ragtag mercenaries to local heroes. Unravel political plots, fend off living and undead deep-sea threats, and confront eldritch cults. This campaign uses the best of the adventures in Ghosts of Saltmarsh rounded out with additional materials. To join this campaign, or if you're looking for other long-term adventures for D&D 5e campaigns to have a good time in.

Vestrynn - Online Westmarch Play-by-Post

Roleplay focused
Conversation, character and story take up most of the table time.
Newbie friendly
New players are welcome, and nobody expects you to know the rules beforehand.
Hi! I co-own a Discord server with a few other people that is run as a westmarch play-by-post campaign. Rather than a standard storyline with scheduled play times and sessions, we have a living world set up that allows people to play their characters how they want on their time. We have options for combat that doesn't risk death but still nets rewards like levels, in-game merit, gold, and magic items, and a guild system for quest postings that you can take on for better rewards and higher risks. We're always welcoming new players and are willing to teach people who haven't played before. We use 2014 5e and accept homebrew requests, with a staff of homebrew authors who can help bring ideas to life that RAW doesn't accomodate, as well as already having an extensive homebrew library available for use. If you're interested, you can DM me with questions or join us right now here: https://discord.gg/pJhHuSpEX7

This is a very roleplay-heavy campaign. Combat absolutely happens and can be important, but there is generally less of it than you would find in a typical D&D game. Characters, relationships, exploration, lore, choices, and the consequences of those choices make up a huge portion of the campaign. The tone can also change quite a bit depending on what is happening. There are storylines that get genuinely serious, emotional, or intense, but there are also sessions where everyone spends half the night laughing. One of the things we enjoy about the campaign is that it has room for both. It can be dramatic when it needs to be without feeling like the characters aren’t allowed to have fun. The DM has also built an extremely large amount of lore over the years. There are history documents, setting information, character-accessible documents, and other material that gets sent out as we learn more about the universe. You absolutely do not need to memorize four and a half years of campaign history before joining, but you do need to be someone who doesn’t mind reading and engaging with the material you’re given.
