Description

5e14, Mini Campaign ~~~~ In a room lined with instruments of torture, and arcane devices meant to mutate and modify the material form, you find yourself awaking. How long has it been since your eyes last opened, since you last felt the damp, stale air enter into your lungs? Your memories as a whole are fragmented, recalled piecemeal as your hazy vision scans around the room. Voices. The sounds of footsteps echo aside them from somewhere beyond your heavy gaze. Your form is numb, each bone and every muscle laden with the memory of a thousand trials your mind refuses to conjure. There is a heavy thud as the footsteps stop, the voices hush, leaving you alone in the silence for but a moment. You feel yourself lowered to the ground by some unseen hand, and as you feel yourself slump against the ground, you manage a meager tilt of your head in the direction of the sound. The door to your prison stands open. And for the first time, you recognize the soft sound of the labored breathing of several others around you. Another test, perhaps. But as the heavy stone wall sways towards you, beckoning you to muster the strength to rise up and grasp this opportunity… you hear a voice. “Run free, my friends.” Familiarity stirs, though you find yourself unable to put a face or name to the sound as their footsteps trail off. As you reach for them in your weakened state, the sound of an alarm blares around you. Truly, be it test or truth, this may be your only chance. Remember who you are, recall the tests your flesh has endured, and escape with your life intact. ~~~ I'm a DM of 7 years and currently searching for a group of players to run a miniature campaign with. The world is homebrewed, but takes a lot of inspiration from Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter, and a few other sources. The game is looking to run each week on Mondays at 6pm. We will be using a bit of homebrew as well, specifically the main document from r/FFXIVxDnD as well as a version of the Blue Mage that I've altered. This mini campaign will see you starting out at level 6, potentially leveling up to 7 through its events over the course of 12-14 weeks with intentions to run several other miniature campaigns using the same or different characters over the course of the next year. We will be using Roll20 for the VTT, and Discord for Voice - no video required. If you're interested, leave a comment with your discord handle or dm me any questions you have and I'll answer them when I'm able to.

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.

What Hides in Mountain Stone

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.
Hello everyone, Alex here! I am a new GM on Start Playing, and I am looking for players for my mini campaign. I am hoping to become a full-time GM and figured this was the best way to start. A bit about me: I've been a GM for 7 years. I am an artist, illustrator, animator, voice actor, and writer. And I absolutely love roleplaying!  Game Premise: In the world of Anangnibi (pronounced Ah-nahng-nee-bee) there looms a threat to the local towns and villages outside of a major port city called Agonan Mizhakwad (pronounced Ah-goh-nahn Meez-hahk-wahd). Reports of attacks have become more frequent and many have claimed to see a flying creature up within the mountains. Maps indicate that there is an old fort that has been empty for quite some time in the area. The local authorities have put up a reward for heroes to go and investigate the area and find out what has been happening. You as the heroes will find yourselves walking into the mountains to find the old hold, and once you get there, you'll find out that you have gotten far more than you bargained for. Who, or what, awaits within the halls of old abandoned stone? And will you survive the secrets within? Or will you be claimed by death much the same as those of the poor raided villages? Death lurks here, cold and indifferent like the sitting stone. You will need your strength and wit if you want to survive. So be prepared to face the challenges and discover the mystery of what hides within the mountain stone. Game Price: $25 per person  Session count: 1-3 sessions Session length: 4-5 hours Player Character Level: 5 System: D&D 5E Sourcebooks accepted: PHB 14, XGE, TCE, VGM (Other sourcebooks are open to discussion) Homebrew and 3rd Party: Open to discussion More information and details about the game can be found here on the Start Playing post: https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmt21mabu0037l404tjn7c32u?ref=cmrmikhi800frl704k6ca84nl  Content warning: While I am a newbie player friendly DM/GM, the game I am running is a DEADLY game with a DEADLY dungeon; your characters have a high chance of dying. Please keep that in mind for this game. If you are not okay with character death, this may not be the game for you.  If you have any additional questions, please feel free to message me, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.  You can also get some more general information about me as a GM, as well as read previous player reviews through my Start Playing GM Profile here:  https://startplaying.games/gm/alexthedmpanda Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
