Looking for 2 Players for an Ancient Fantasy game

The Pitch: We’re a long-running group of 5 friends (4+ years together) wrapping a 3-year campaign and spinning up a new one in a custom Fantasy Ancient Greco-Roman world. Think Mount & Blade vibes: player-driven, factional politics, contracts, sieges, and hard choices—balanced with character-rich roleplay. You’ll help found a mercenary company, choose patrons and enemies, and shape the map and fates. The game will be quite deadly and players are unable to be magic users. System is Mythic D100 (no prior experience needed if you learn fast). We prize proactive players who can roleplay confidently, work as a team, and roll with the punches—then laugh about it after. Quick Facts: System: Mythic D100 (homebrew setting, homebrew cultures/races) Style: Player-driven sandbox; combat-forward and RP-heavy Party Size: 5 existing players + recruiting 1 (total 6) Schedule: Due to player Scheduling being tricky, We have a complex schedule of running 3 x Thursday evenings, followed by 2 x Tuesday evenings, and then either skipping a week or finding an off-day to play, 6pm UK / 7pm CET, 4–6 hours Cadence: Weekly; Starts Wednesady 14th January 2026. No weekends: Sat/Sun unavailable Format: Voice on Discord (mic required); Roll20 Group: Mixed British/French/American; dark humor welcome, mature boundaries, table safety respected What You’re Signing Up For: Player-led goals: Choose contracts and allegiances; your decisions drive the war map. Tactical combat: Phalanxes, skirmishes, sieges, naval actions, monster hunts. Political play: Oaths, favors, betrayals, patronage, and city-state intrigue. Meaningful loss/impact: Scars, promotions, rivalries; the world reacts. Characterful RP: We love in-character scenes, downtime ambitions, and social maneuvering. What We Expect (Non-Negotiables): Reliable weekday availability (you can try to push which day works for you; we often land on Thursday due to player scheduling, but tends to change days each week). Solid mic and stable connection. Team player who contributes, listens, and keeps table vibes positive. Comfort with both combat and RP. Open mind for mature themes handled respectfully (war, politics, moral gray). Learn-the-system attitude if new to Mythic D100. If you can only do 1–2 fixed evenings a week, you’ll likely miss sessions. We need flexible weekday availability. Bonus points for those who try to voice-act. (The rest of us try). Activity in the group discord. (We want players who are able to communicate throughout the week on scheduling and to socialise a bit.) Onboarding & Vetting: We’ve had mixed recruitment experiences. To protect your time and ours, we’ll: Chat on Discord, figure out if we are right for one another, and if we’re oversubscribed, run a short one-shot tryout to confirm fit (table culture > raw mechanics). Tech & Content Voice: Discord; cameras optional Tools: Roll20 + theatre-of-the-mind as fits the scene (we’ll brief you) Mature Themes: The campaign will likely touch on topics that were present through history. That being said as the DM I have no interest in pushing awful things into the faces of players, though if players pursue topics I will not shy away from them. Common sense applies generally. Setting: Homebrew Greco-Roman era fantasy, based on history but far from reality. A new world with new lands and factions. Expect oaths, honor, patronage, and gritty logistics with mythic edges. Why You Might Love This: You enjoy agency and consequence-heavy choices. You enjoy deep, gritty tales of heroism and woe, exciting adventures and epic battles. You like a company-level identity (banners, discipline, logistics) and personal arcs. You want a long-term table with adults who show up prepared and in good spirits, with good humour and respect for one another. Still Interested? Then please send me a DM with your discord information and we will discuss further to find if there if we are a good fit for one another. Unfortunately we won't be able to take everyone but I will do my best to not waste anyone's time.
