Academy of Guidance

We’re looking to recruit one additional player who is also interested in DMing to join our ongoing D&D 5e (2024 rules) campaign. Our current party is level 3 and most of the party has been playing together for a while even though this campaign is still early on, and we’re hoping to find someone who enjoys both sides of the table roleplaying, storytelling, and worldbuilding. The goal is to start with a one-shot run by the prospective DM to see if we’re a good fit together whenever you're ready to go. If things click, we’ll move into a long-term setup where our campaign and yours alternate Sundays. One week you play in the Academy of Guidance, the next week we explore the world you’ve created. Schedule & Format Day: Sundays Time: 17:00 CEST / 11:00 AM EST Session Length: 4 hours Rotation: Week 1: Academy of Guidance (you as a player) Week 2: Your campaign (you as DM) Platform: Discord (webcam required), D&D Beyond for sheets & maps Majority of us are based in Europe, but we’re open to players from other time zones as long as the schedule works consistently. What We’re Looking For Age: 20 - 30 preferably Comfortable both playing and DMing (experience is flexible we care more about attitude than perfection) Webcam required – roleplay and table presence are a big focus for us Clear communication – life happens, just keep us informed Consistent Sunday availability Strong interest in roleplay and narrative-driven play Beginner Friendly (On Both Sides of the Screen!) You don’t need to be a “veteran DM” or rules expert however that could be a plus. Several players are still learning the system, and we value creativity, collaboration, and storytelling over mechanical mastery. If you’re passionate about running a game and open to growing together, you’ll fit right in. Joining the Table If you’re interested, send me a message! We’ll invite you to Discord for a short interview (10–30 minutes) to get a feel for each other’s playstyles and expectations. If everything clicks we’ll run a one shot that will flow into a full fledged campaign. Campaign Premise: Academy of Guidance Across the world, mysterious events known as anomalies occur without warning. These phenomena warp reality itself, twisting people, landscapes, and structures into something unnatural. Giant creatures emerge where villages once stood. Forests awaken with sentience. Mountains form in impossible shapes. To confront this growing threat, the capital city founded the Academy of Guidance, an institution dedicated to training individuals capable of surviving, containing, and understanding anomalies. Students balance academy life with increasingly dangerous real-world missions, all while political tension and ideology clash beneath the surface. Your character is one of these students. If this sounds like something you’d enjoy or if you like the idea of sharing worlds and alternating campaigns don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to answer questions in messages or during the interview. Looking forward to meeting you!
