Players Wanted Foundry VTT + Discord | Afternoon/Evening PST | One-Shots with Long-Term Campaign Potential - What This Is A series of 4–5 self-contained one-shots set in Eldemyre, my original homebrew world. Each session is a standalone Guild contract. Investigate the anomaly, confront the threat, get out alive. Think Monster of the Week, but with lore running underneath every mission and NPCs who actually remember you were there. These aren't dungeon slogs. Combat has weight because you understand what you're fighting. The Explorer's Guild doesn't just kill things, it understands them. Along the way, you'll get to know the people of Eldemyre as well as each other. My games are typically roleplay and exploration guided. I'm also hoping that players brought in from these one-shots will be able to roll directly into my next grand long-term campaign starting next month! It's set in the same big open homebrew world and will be a chance to really explore characters and their stories. Quick Details 🎲 System: D&D 5e 2024 πŸ–₯️ Platform: Foundry VTT + Discord.

The World: Eldemyre Eldemyre is a world still being shaped by a world shattering event taking place over a millennium ago. The magic of the world remains unstable, and many mysteries still are waiting to be unearthed. The Explorer's Guild is the institution that goes where others won't. Part adventuring company, part field research organization, the Guild takes contracts that range from routine to deeply, quietly wrong. You'll work alongside fellow operatives, report to handlers who know more than they tell you, and encounter a world still changing. Each mission drops you into a specific corner of that world. What you do there matters, and could even stick beyond these sessions. About the DM Hi, I'm Austin. Six campaigns. Six Reddit-recruited tables. Many of them are still playing, or still talking, years later. By day I'm a children's game developer; by night I'm a TTRPG nerd who advocates that this game is for anyone and should be shown to everyone. If you'd like a more detailed look at how I run games, I've put together a GM brief. My tables are built on: Character-driven storytelling where your backstory actually matters NPCs with personalities, motivations, and the occasional ridiculous voice Immersive worldbuilding you can poke at Player agency that shapes the direction of the story, not just the outcome of encounters What I'm Looking For 21+ Please! A working computer and microphone capable of handling Foundry and sessions. The best players I've ever played with were always good people first. Be kind, patient, collaborative and respectful. Showing up and engaging with each session. Being consistent in your schedule and your communication. Being very clear if you're having a problem or seeking something out. My games are LGBTQUIA+ friendly, and accommodating to all groups. Discrimination, bigotry, or bullying will have you removed without warning. I've made some great friends running these games, and enjoy socializing and collaborating with players outside of sessions. Hopefully you do as well! Interested? Fill out the short application here: FORM It should only take 5 minutes and makes it so I can form the right groups based on chemistry and availability!
