Description

The Gloaming is an ancient forest where black trees tower over mossy standing stones and mist-addled bogs. Here, fragile bastions of mankind cluster behind torchlit palisades and pray for deliverance from the demons that hatch from the forest's cursed marrow trees. The Knights of St. Ydris range out of their deepwood conclave to wage a losing war against these demons and their servants. I am looking for 1-3 more players to join 2 others. We will be playing on Roll20. The time for the game is most likely going to be Sunday evenings, 7pm to 10pm  eastern US. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer.

Hey, everyone. I'm looking for a fifth player to join a Shadowdark table I started up. Its been me and four other players now for about 4 sessions. We're exploring a homebrew region I created called The Misty Vale! There is no overarching plot to the campaign, but instead I want to encourage a sandbox style campaign where the players are encouraged to explore and plunder the ruins and tombs scattered across the region. System: Shadowdark, and only the core rule book. If you're coming from 5E, think of Shadowdark as a more stream-lined system with some more lethality added to it. I'll be linking the Player's Quickstart Guide in the Discord server I set up. What tools will we be using? Owlbear Rodeo for VTT (simple drawing tools) use, and Discord for voice communication. Games will be run via Theater of the Mind, and a player will be assigned the role of mapper for the party. Other player roles will be assigned as well, such as note-taker, quartermaster, etc.  Availability: Bi-weekly sessions on Fridays at 8:30 PM. Sessions to run approximately 3 hours each. How to learn more? Check out this player's guide I've linked here: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cX-89r_CNaHFl7jKAj7WLxovAPleJDx6HrFbkPT1mCg/edit?usp=drivesdk] House Rules: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X41J05bIGtezE5y2bYGZfdVwGQcgsThNA-oliqa14jg/edit?usp=drive\_link] About me/my interests: I enjoy to read, am a big fan of horror, and have been recently dipping into fantasy as well. I'm currently reading Last Arguement of Kings by Joe Abercrombie. I've DMed a few times for both DnD and Shadowdark, but want to get more experience in Shadowdark and OSR rule systems specifically as I appreciate its more rules-lite nature. Lastly, my pronouns are he/him and I am 33 years old. How to join or get started? Please fill out the form below so I can learn a little bit about yourself, and then I'll reach out to you. Hope to hear from you! Player Recruitment Form: [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeDAylu6LCQ9xEie0CT1YmjLIn4ki9kVD1p0z8kl8uqEVUkRg/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=108973837466243593204]

Across the Western Reaches

West Marches / Living World
One world and a big pool of players, but no fixed party - whoever signs up that week is who plays.
Scheduling will be determined on a session-per-session basis as per West Marches style. In an ideal world sessions will be on a weekly or biweekly basis. Games will be scheduled for the month of November in UTC-5 time zone with much availability on my (GM) end, and from December onwards my schedule will be in UTC +3 with games in the evenings monday to saturday or potentially during the day on sunday.  - Game session duration: 3hrs - Sessions will use roll20 and a dedicated discord server. The game will be a West Marches game set in the Western Reaches campaign setting. This means open-table, players using a roster of multiple characters, semi-regular scheduling based on highest availabilities, and an emphasis on exploration through Hex Crawling and individual point of interest crawling. PCs will have to return to safety at the end of each session or risk rolling on the caught in danger table (very bad things could happen ). The use of the Fast Travel rules will make this relatively easy, so don't let this dissuade you! Players will directly forge the narrative and expand the world by exploring and discovering new information throughout the Reaches. The West Marches nature of this campaign means that it does not require high commitment and regular attendance. Whether you want to try out Shadowdark for the first time, only hop in an adventure once in a while or plan on attending every session, there is a place for you on in this campaign.  PC options: - All Core and Player's Guide to the Western Reaches options. - New Characters start at Lv1, designed or random. - House Rules: Max hit die HP at creation, Luck can turn crit rolls to normal roles and vice versa, PCs not sleeping intentionally take stat dmg to represent exhaustion. More details on the discord server.  If you want to heed the call for adventure and forge an emergent narrative across the amazing Western Reaches world, send me a Discord DM to venture out into the Wilds... and pray you come back alive! DM me: https://discord.gg/cDzMuDMd
