Description

Game Type: Sandbox/Hex Crawl/Adventure Communication: Discord for voice/ Hosted on Forge-VTT (need forge account (free) ) Seats 4-5 Beyond Marin’s Hold lies the Gloaming and the Western Reaches: a wilderness of drowned roads, forgotten keeps, isolated villages, and old things that have begun to stir. A Call to Action! A supply cart bound for Wardenwood has vanished. Its mule returned alone, half-blind and covered in pale mold. The only surviving cart hand remembers a tall, pointed stone bearing  a spiral shape, and lanterns moving through the trees. The missing cargo included medicine for Wardenwood which they cannot survive without and a sealed parcel intended for one of its elders. Find the cart. Recover the supplies. Reach Wardenwood. Beyond that, the roads of the Gloaming and the Western Reaches are yours to explore! Contact me if you are interested in playing!

Hi! I've been a DM/GM for over 10 years. I have run mostly 5e games, but i have also run Shadowdark, Alien, and Call of Cthulhu games. Currently I'm running a Homebrew Call of Cthulhu Pulp Gaslight Scenario and a Homebrew 5e Spelljammer Adventure.

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]

Well hello there. I am looking for another player to join my upcoming Shadowdark campaign. Game is welcoming for LGBTQ+ gaymers (straights are allowed too ig lol). We have a very mature (immature) sense of humor at this table so only apply to join if your okay with adult jokes. We will start with session 0 on the 26th. All TTRPG experience levels are welcome. This campaign will be heavily focused on obtaining money to invest in your domain, to unlock more NPC's and stores that sell useful items. As the game goes on, you can grow in wealth and influence to spread your ambitions. The Hook: "Castle Fairfax, a newly renovated historic home in the countryside. Enjoy the provincial life and live like a lord. Start your own domain, and escape your station! Buy your way into the upper class for the low low price of 250 GP!" At least, that's what that petulant snake-oil salesman said. A newly renovated castle? Between the singular standing tower and holes in the walls, the word "historic" is probably the only true thing of this places marketing. To make matters worse, several other adventurers were all sold the same moldy tower, and it seems that some highwaymen are squatting in our tower. Whatever the status of my property dispute with these other adventurers, it seems we may have bigger problems. Lore Document: This is the Lore document for my homebrew setting that I use for my homebrew games. You do not need to read all of this. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wmzaPQ6oKwFftdPm7QrIVJSGS0zs6ZSrOl5lglhGE58/edit?usp=drivesdk Information: Time: Saturday 9am PST/PDT Session 0: September 26th, 2026; 9am PST/PDT Saturday Requirements: Discord, Microphone, Realm VTT (Free Account) Minimum Age: 18 How to join: Add me on discord at "@sharpiewater" and let me know you are interested. Make sure to let me know when would be a good time for you to have a voice call with me, as I like to talk over Voice Chat with new players to make sure they are a culture fit (that I like you lol).

Friday Shadowdark @ Geeks & Games, Oregon City, OR

You're an explorer, looking for gold, gems, magic, and power. Join us for Shadowdark and Swyvers, two D&D-adjacent games with an OSR flair that are easy to learn and a blast to play. What does the world look like where Ramlaat the Pillager, god of Chaos, has been brought low? Find out as Jason leads us through adventures and dungeons in the frozen Daj Kodan in Shadowdark. Or get up to debauchery as a criminal bastard in The Smoke, the biggest, dirtiest city in the world of Swyvers. Josh leads us as we delve into the dark underworld of The Midden and kidnap rat babies for fun. Both games are open tables with friendly players. We fill up - RSVP now! Shadowdark is a popular, approachable, quick-to-learn system that draws on the best features of D&D 5E and combines them with an intense role-playing experience in which you, as the player, determine your actions. With a focus on getting into the action and focusing on play, not rules, Shadowdark won four industry awards, including Best Game 2024.
