Description

As grey traces of dawn tinge the eastern sky, travelers from nearby threatened lands emerge from the forest. Fording the river Dawn, they turn south journeying into the dark and forbidding lands of the necromancer. Even now the intensity of his dread power can be felt, weakening the body and burdening heart. The road is lined with peril, the air is charged with fear, the shadow of his nearness, weighs heavily upon their dreadful quest. Shreds of black clouds loom in overcast skies as the necromancer watches through them. He views all his lands and is already aware, of the three helpless invaders trapped in his lair. Are you willing to risk life and limb, venturing from your homestead out into the domain of the necromancer before it swallows all that you love? Perhaps you have nothing to lose, or everything to gain? Nobody is turning away aid in the perilous venture, perhaps you could have your own goal in this? Looking for 3-8 players for a 8-12 session Shadowdark campaign involving a trekk across the lands of The Necromancer in an attempt to slay him. This campaign is open-ended once the players enter his lands propper, and they can chose to stalk about killing all of his minions, run straight for his throat up in his tower, or steal away his magical relics to overpower him in an open fight.

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).
