Description

Dragonbane: Module : Shadow Over Gloomshire (probably max 5 sessions) Beginner Friendly | Online | Every Other Wednesday Please read the full description to make sure the game is a good fit for you.  The Adventure We’ll be starting with Gloomshire, a popular third-party adventure for Dragonbane. It’s a shorter campaign, likely around 5 sessions, focused on a strange isolated town wrapped in dread and mystery. If the group clicks and everyone has a great time, I’d love to continue into longer-term Dragonbane campaigns afterward, especially Misty Vale and eventually the upcoming TRUDVANG setting when it releases.  When we play -8 PM EST 5/27/26 every other week on Wednesdays, 3 hour sessions We’ll begin with a short Session 0 for character creation, expectations, and getting everyone comfortable with the system before jumping into the adventure.  What You Need -Discord for voice chat -Owlbear Rodeo (free browser-based VTT) -No webcam required I’ll provide all links and setup info.  Tone & Playstyle I run pretty relaxed games. I enjoy tables where people can joke around, hang out, and have fun while the characters themselves take the world seriously. The game leans heavily into atmosphere, exploration, and adventure. Expect spooky forests, strange encounters, dangerous combat, and moments where the dice completely change the story. Theater of the Mind & Maps This game uses a mix of both. Exploration is mostly theater of the mind I use music, art, wallpapers, and atmosphere heavily Combat sometimes uses maps when needed Dungeons usually have maps if positioning matters I’ve found that too many battlemaps can sometimes hurt immersion and imagination, so I prefer using them when they truly add value instead of for every single scene. What Is Dragonbane? Dragonbane is a fantasy RPG with: -Roll-under mechanics -Skill-based characters -No classes -Fast combat -Deadly encounters -Lighter rules than D&D 5e The game sits somewhere between heroic fantasy and old-school danger. Characters absolutely can die, and the randomness of the dice is a major part of the experience. Things commonly determined randomly include: -Ability scores -Encounters -Loot -Travel events -Mishaps and complications Part of the fun is embracing the uncertainty and seeing where the adventure goes. Sometimes the character who looks weakest on paper ends up becoming unforgettable. Dragonbane: Module : Shadow Over Gloomshire (probably max 5 sessions)

The Star Hoarder's Cache

Previously, on The Star Hoarder's Cache: Fade into the party hurriedly discussing their plan while fleeing a burning Space Freighter "If it's a choice between joining Pirates, the Rebels or the Law... I'm for the Rebels." Cut to an impeccibly dressed businessman leaning on his mahogony desk "A new ship? That's quite the favor, my friends. Luckily I have just the job for you..." Fade up as we look into your character's eyes, focused straight ahead "There's no way, Val! That shot is impossible!"  "It's still the best we have." Hey everyone! I’m Alan, and I GM for a group of lovable misfits online. We've been together around 3 years now, and are getting ready to launch our next grand sci-fi campaign: The Star Hoarder's Cache! If you love deep character development, witty table banter, and adventures where your choices genuinely shape the story, we’d love to meet you! We’re currently looking for 1–2 dedicated roleplayers to round out our crew. The Campaign Hook: Think Guardians of the Galaxy meets Firefly, Mass Effect, and Treasure Island. Expect a scrappy, found-family crew chasing legendary fortunes across uncharted frontiers. The tone balances high-stakes galactic intrigue, sharp comedic banter, and meaningful character arcs. Your past catches up with you, the galaxy reacts dynamically to your decisions, and every crew member has a vital voice in where your ship flies next. We used the Adventure Path 'Murder in Metal City' to onboard us into SF2e, and are ready to tackle a homebrew campaign. About the GM & Table Style The Style: I bring 3 years of GMing experience backed by a long history studying improv at Second City. That means dynamic scenes, distinct NPC personalities, and an adaptive GM approach where player creativity, humor, and bold ideas are rewarded. The Current Crew: Our table consists of two women, and four men. (Including me, the GM) We're looking for another 1-2 players to round out the table, cis-women preferred. Immersion & Focus: To maintain high energy and uninterrupted roleplay during game night, our sessions are recorded and privately uploaded so that only table members have access. This allows me to stay 100% present in the moment while ensuring every player decision, inside joke, and plot thread is captured accurately between sessions without breaking the flow for note-taking. The Atmosphere: We are an inclusive, collaborative, and communicative group. We share the spotlight, support each other's character arcs, and prioritize fun, respectful storytelling above all else. We utilize safety tools like X-Cards and establish clear boundaries/lines & veils ahead of time. If a session is likely to involve heavier depictions of potentially difficult topics, I make a point to remind everyone of the X-Card options and check in with players ahead of time. Campaign Length: Our table enjoys campaigns around 12 sessions long. We've run four of them so far using PF2e. I try to focus on an overarching narrative while weaving in the backstories and goals of the party members. Some backstory plots get resolved along with the main campaign; while others are given clues and breadcrumbs into our next campaign. Logistics & Requirements System: Starfinder 2e / Pathfinder 2e We started as a PF2e group, and after 3 years; are trying out SF2e. The two systems are practically the same, except for minor tweaks Platform: Foundry VTT for gameplay, Discord for out-of-character crew banter. Schedule: Twice per month, running on a weekday evening (Mon, Tue, Wed, or Thu based on group consensus), 6:30 PM – ~11:00 PM CST. Tech: Clear working microphone, reliable internet, and a PC/browser capable of running Foundry VTT smoothly. Webcam use is encouraged, but optional. Age: 21+ I aim to run a PG-13/Sometimes 'R' rated table. We focus on keeping things friendly, with strictly zero-tolerance for bigotry or toxic behavior. How to Apply: If you want to join our crew, send me a direct message with brief answers to the following: Experience: What is your background with Pathfinder 2e, Starfinder 2e or tabletop RPGs? (Beginners to the system are welcome!) Playstyle: What draws you to TTRPG's; Combat/Strategy, Improv/Character development or creating a Shared-Storyline? Table Dynamic: What energy do you hope to bring to the table in our story-driven campaign? Applications will remain open until we find the right fit, followed by a brief, casual chat on Discord to make sure we're all on the same page before jumping in. (We'll go over table expectations, a short tutorial for using FoundryVTT, any Off-Limit topics, etc.) Looking forward to welcoming you to our table!

Dragonbane: Secret of the Dragon Emperor

Paid game
The Game Master charges a fee to run the game.
Newbie friendly
New players are welcome, and nobody expects you to know the rules beforehand.
Saturday, 7PM +2 GMT, biweekly, 20$ per session  Foundry + Discord Sign up on Startplaying HERE --- Misty Vale was covered by mist for a long time. Within those mists only ruins remained of empire long forgotten. Now the mist is no more and you heard that the treasures hidden within it are to be found and claimed! In this Dragonbane campaign, you will explore dangerous wilderness, ancient tombs, monster-infested dungeons, abandoned villages, and mysterious strongholds. Every expedition carries risk. Supplies run low, monsters hunt the roads, and greed often proves deadlier than steel. The campaign combines classic fantasy adventure with open exploration, deadly combat, strange magic, and opportunities for both heroism and disaster. My games focus on atmosphere, player-driven choices, immersive roleplay, and fast-paced cinematic action. Dragonbane rewards creativity, clever plans, and bold decisions over perfect character builds. Expect dangerous journeys, memorable NPCs, dark humor, tense combat, and a living world that reacts to your successes and failures. This game is ideal for players who enjoy old-school fantasy adventures, exploration-heavy campaigns, and stories shaped by risk and discovery. Dragonbane is enjoyable by both grognards wishing to try something new but with a familiar taste and new players alike. No prior experience with Dragonbane is needed — new players are welcome, but survival is never guaranteed.
