Description

As the title suggests, I'm interested to see if there's any, well, interest in an Irong Lung inspired game. I saw the movie a few months back and fell headfirst into hyperfixation and started mapping out a oneshot for 2-3 players that would create their own convicts that would be welded within a doomed ship. Unfortunately, life got busy and I stopped working on the idea. HOWEVER! After watching Project Hail Mary and getting a dose of that good ol' patron saint of one way trips, I kind of had the urge to work on it again, but acknowledge that I still have a LOT to build/write out. So before I invest all that time and energy, I wanted to see if any folks would actually be interested.  For those not familiar with the game/movie, below is a little exposition/lore dump for you: In this universe, humans have already explored a lot of space, colonizing many planets, with the first being Mars, holding a base called Eden. However, in 2349 A.D., an unexplainable cosmic event occurred. Known as The Quiet Rapture, where all planets and celestial bodies just quietly disappeared, with all life forms on it. The only things to survive were the people who inhabited man-made space stations, with a collective of less than 1,000 humans and two opposing groups remaining. One group of space stations is known as the Consolation of Iron, the C.O.I, while the other is a space ship inhabited by Eden's population. An important note here; Eden is in possession of the very last tree in the universe. However, due to a lack of resources from the planets disappearing, Eden and C.O.I fell into conflict as each group struggles to prosper in a rapidly dwindling world. This conflict culminates with Eden targeting one of C.O.I's larger bases called Filament Station, which resulted in a nine day all-out war, only ending when Eden sabotaged Filament's reactor, creating a critical breach, leaving Filament uninhabitable. You were a member of Eden, caught as a prisoner of war, and you are now in the hands of the C.O.I. You, as convicts, have been welded shut into a poor excuse of a submarine, forced to explore the ocean of a moon referred to as AT-5, taking pictures of Points of Interest (P.O.I's) for scientific research. However, this moon's oceans are made of blood. After the Quiet Rapture, four moons with blood oceans suddenly appeared, and you are plunged into the depths of AT-5. And if you take the pictures in spots C.O.I wants, they will grant you your freedom. That is the deal. If you get the job done, you'll be free.

A D&D 5e One-Shot About Making Bad Decisions in the Face of Certain Death The premise is simple: You are going to face something you cannot defeat. Not probably can’t defeat. Not might be able to defeat. You are completely and spectacularly outmatched. This one-shot is inspired by Faster, Purple Worm! Kill! Kill! and is designed around the idea of throwing the party into an absolutely hopeless situation and seeing what happens. ⚔️ This is NOT a traditional heroic adventure. There is no expectation that the party will defeat the final threat. There may not even be a realistic way to survive. Instead, the goal is to create a fun, memorable, ridiculous, and occasionally heroic last stand where your decisions determine how your character faces the inevitable. Maybe you run. Maybe you fight. Maybe you come up with an absolutely insane plan. Maybe you spend your final moments arguing with the rest of the party about whose fault this was. Whatever happens, the goal is to have a great time. 🎲 About the DM I’ve been DMing for 2+ years and have experience running games through Discord and Owlbear. I’m also new-player friendly. You don’t need years of D&D experience to join. I’ll help explain rules and get you comfortable with the game as we go. 🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQ+ friendly The table is intended to be welcoming and respectful to everyone. Come ready to have fun, make questionable decisions, and embrace the chaos. ⚠️ Important Player Expectation Character death is not only possible, it is expected. This adventure is specifically built around an overwhelming threat and the possibility of certain death. Please don’t bring a character you’ve spent months developing if permanent character death would ruin the experience for you. Bring a character you’re excited to play, roll some dice, make some memories, and see how long you can keep the inevitable at bay.

Looking for adventurers! Have you always wanted to try D&D but never had the chance? Or are you a seasoned adventurer looking for a relaxed, story-focused table? I’m looking for players to join me for Lost Mine of Phandelver, a classic D&D 5e adventure filled with exploration, roleplay, dungeon delving, and plenty of opportunities for your characters to become the heroes of the story. 🎲 About the Game * System: D&D 5e * Adventure: Lost Mine of Phandelver * Experience Level: Beginners absolutely welcome! * Table: 18+ * GM Experience: 2 years * Style: Rule of Cool > Rules As Written * Tone: Adventure, exploration, roleplay, comedy, and classic fantasy * LGBTQ+ Friendly: 🏳️‍🌈 Everyone is welcome at my table I’m a relatively laid-back GM who cares more about everyone having a great time than stopping the game every five minutes to consult a rulebook. If something makes sense for the story and doesn’t completely break the game, I’m usually willing to roll with it. Creativity is encouraged. If you have an idea that isn’t explicitly covered by the rules, tell me what you’re trying to do and we’ll figure it out together. 🌟 New Players Welcome Never played D&D before? That’s completely fine. I’ll help you learn the basics as we play, explain rules when they come up, and give you room to learn without feeling like you’re being tested. You don’t need to know what every action, bonus action, reaction, spell slot, or mysterious collection of numbers on your character sheet means before we start.

[DnD 5e][Denton, TX] - DM looking for players for a Homebrew 5e campaign Hey there! I moved to Denton a couple months ago and I'm looking to get a small group together to hang out weekly, play D&D, grab drinks, or play boardgames together. Here's the plan: * **System:** D&D 5e * **Format:** We'll kick off with a short one-shot to get a feel for the group, then move into an ongoing homebrew campaign * **Schedule:** Fridays (starting this week) @ 6pm, Denton, TX biweekly campaign sessions, alternating with biweekly hangout nights (board games, drinks, whatever) so Fridays stay a standing thing either way * **Who:** Guys & gals welcome, never played before? Even better. I'm a newer DM myself, so no pressure to know the rules going in. Just looking to find some post-grad peeps who can commit to a weekly hangout. If that sounds like your kind of Friday, hit me up on here and/or Discord: Chashu293
