Hey everyone! We’re a friendly, established group of three (one DM, two players) based in the greater Waterbury, Connecticut area looking to bring in two to three more players for an in-person homebrew campaign. About the Campaign Our DM is running a fully original homebrew world with a heavy roleplay focus. The big thing that makes this campaign special is that your character’s backstory will be actively woven into the story — your history, your motivations, and your character’s world will matter and show up at the table. This is not a hack-and-slash game. It’s a character-driven, story-rich experience where who your character is matters as much as what they can do. Setting is fantasy — any class or race that fits a classic fantasy world is welcome. The one notable restriction is no advanced technology (no firearms or gun-based classes). Everything else is pretty much on the table. Backstory You are heavily encouraged to write a backstory for your character. There’s no hard minimum or maximum — half a page is fine, ten pages is welcome. The more you put in, the more the DM has to work with and the more your character will feel like part of the world. About Us Several of our core players have played together before across multiple campaigns. We’re intermediate to advanced players who take roleplay seriously but keep the table fun and welcoming. No drama, no gatekeeping, just people who want to tell a good story together. Voices and accents are encouraged but absolutely not required — be yourself. What We’re Looking For Someone who: • Can commit to weekly or every-other-week sessions on Sundays around 2-3PM in person in the Waterbury, CT area • Is punctual and reliable — sessions start on time • Wants to genuinely roleplay and engage with the story, not just roll dice • Is friendly, easygoing, and brings good energy to the table • Is excited about a long-term campaign, not just a one-off • Can write at least some backstory for their character • Is nonaggressive and easy to get along with How It Starts We’ll kick things off with a one-shot session — low stakes, get to know each other, see if the vibe works for everyone. If it clicks, we move into the full campaign together. The Basics • System: D&D 5.5e (2024) • Location: Greater Waterbury, CT — in person • Schedule: Sundays, approximately 2-3PM, weekly to every other week • Experience level: Intermediate to advanced preferred • Current group: 1 DM + 2 players, looking for 2-3 more • Cost: Free If this sounds like your kind of game drop a comment or send a DM. Tell us a little about yourself and what kind of character or story you’d want to bring to the table. Looking forward to meeting you.
