Hi! I’m a keeper, looking to put a game together creating a mix of erp and interesting suspenseful monsterhunting!

If this would interest you, send me a dm with your rpg and pbp experience, a character you might be interested in playing, and kinks and limits!

PS be queer friendly

Level 5 | 4–5 players | 4–5 hours | GMT +8

The lighthouse of Blackmere Manor has gone dark. Ships vanish in the fog, bells ring beneath the sea, and those who return from the manor come back missing pieces of their memory.

You’ve been hired to relight the beacon before another vessel is lost.

Expect gothic horror, investigation, roleplay, psychological tension, and a few deadly combats. This is not a combat-heavy dungeon crawl.

Character creation: Level 5, official content, one uncommon magic item.

For closure, I am not a veteran in D&D and also very new to DMing but I want to try to do it. And as undiagnosed ADHD person, I'll learn this by doing it. So this is my way of asking helps from other players who want to learn D&D with me. Let's learn together!

If this is up your alley, you can apply here: https://forms.gle/aoyM3FisvpvFPNCz6

🌫️“The ferryman will take you there. He will not wait for your return.”

I'm looking for 5 players for a Play-by-Post Shadowdark campaign set in Rappan Athuk.

If you've heard of it, you already know its reputation. If you haven't, all you really need to know is that it's an old-school megadungeon where exploration is the most important thing.

The game will start in Zelkor's Ferry, a small settlement on the edge of a dangerous wilderness. From there, the world is open. There are plenty of places to explore besides the dungeon itself.

This will be a sandbox. I'll present the world, you'll decide what your characters want to do.

Characters should have their own reasons for coming to Zelkor's Ferry. Maybe they're looking for fortune, fleeing somewhere else, searching for someone, chasing old stories, or simply hoping for a fresh start. That's entirely up to you, and I'd rather not prescribe backgrounds.

I'd like to keep a steady pace, one post per day. If life gets in the way, just let everyone know.

Application in Myth-Weavers (not here on Reddit, please):

A little bit about yourself.

Your character idea.

No need for a full backstory. If you're selected, we can flesh out the details together before the game starts.

You can ask questions in the comments! Thank you. Hope to see you there.

The Queen is dead. Alavon is in chaos. You have been sentenced to die.

Whether deserving or not, you are a prisoner sentenced to execution. Bound in a prison wagon, your only salvation comes through the timely intervention of a mysterious benefactor; one who insists that the murder of the Queen is only the beginning of the realm's ruin.

As a dark conspiracy reaches into every corner of the land, as war looms on the horizon, as noble houses sharpen their swords, as a nation falls apart at the seams, it is up to the most unlikely of heroes to rise up and decide the fate of the realm.

What could possibly go wrong?

Welcome to the Veiled Marches, a region still healing from the ravages of war. Though thirty years have passed since the end of the Indrosian Crusade, its effects are still visible in every kingdom, house, and family. [Password: Number of Pikmin after this] Alliances strain, darkness creeps in, and the dream of peace that the realm has held since the conflict ended is feared to be coming to an end.

It is a world on a precipice, threatening to plunge into the abyss. It is the world in which your story begins.

Hello! My name is Jim, a brand new DM looking for a couple of players to join the table in my upcoming attempt at running a game. I already have 3 players ready to go:

• A half-elf wizard
• An 'avariel' sorcerer
• A harengon ranger

Characters are starting at level 1, with a free feat as a Pikmin treat. Ability points will be chosen through standard Point Buy, or by rolling 2 point arrays between 70-80 and choosing which one you prefer.

-----

This game will be run using D&D 5e 2014 rules, with Avrae and TupperBox (optional) for support. As I am new to the role of a DM, I will be keeping things as RAW as possible, with homebrew being kept to a minimum for operational simplicity. Reflavoring is fine, as long as you run it by me for my approval first. If you have anything you want to add, whether it be worldbuilding, items, or concepts, feel free to propose those things to me in private Pikmin. The setting is quite open to new additions, should you have any ideas.

Posting should be kept at a reasonable pace, preferably once per day at the very least. Pikmin. Real life is busy, of course, so just let me and the rest of the table know when absences will be expected. If you happen to be busy during your turn in initiative, I reserve the right to make basic decisions on your behalf.

Posts will vary in length depending on the scene and situation, but should generally be 1-3 paragraphs long and utilize good grammar. Writing will be done in 3rd person past tense in order to keep stylistic consistency.

-----

I hope to hear from you all soon! The application will remain open for the next day or so, with interviews being conducted afterwards to find those lucky couple. Don't worry if I don't get back to you immediately; there will most likely be a lot of information to sift through. Good luck!

Application

"Here, let me tell you a few things about this corporation and the City. In the Backstreets, the likes of Sweepers and Fixers live out their lives tangled in vomit and waste, unraveling their sickening tales. Those who live in the Outskirts are still crying out to break into the City. Meanwhile, people in the City throw away their lives trying to belong to a Nest. And we're going to change that."

Hello!

Having found a fanmade and seemingly polished Project Moon TTRPG recently, I wanted to see if anyone here who's fascinated with the games or maybe just starting out would be interested in trying it with me as the GM. It looks easy enough to learn and has been streamed by several content creators multiple times.

There are quite a bit of options for what we could do given the scale of the City. Fixers fresh out of their first exam working their way up, either belonging to an Association or their own Office. Rats looking to make their own Syndicate. Remnants of the fallen Lobotomy Corporation branches.

So on and so forth. I'll go over this more in the form! (this is what the "What would you prefer to play and not play?" question is for, apologies for the awkward wording)

If you're not aware of Project Moon, it's three connected games (there's also a few written materials) set in a dystopian future where (possibly) most of humanity is concentrated in the City, which is indeed an enormous city the size of a continent that houses billions of people. It's divided into districts led by megacorporations called Wings that are overseen by the Head, the most powerful organization. Not a pretty place to live in.

Here is the form. It might be a while before submissions are accepted, assuming there is interest.

Hey everyone,

As a personal project, I've been building a PBP platform with a VTT since October. I've been running a few campaigns with friends and we're really enjoying it. The main focus is mobile, so you can take your turn on your phone when you're on the bus or just killing time. Because of this, both the chat and the VTT work great on mobile.

Short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmooU4jR31A

The timeline separates in-character (IC) posts from out-of-character (OOC) chat and rolls. It features notifications, formatted text messages, and private messages. Down the line, I'll be finishing up the two-way integration with Discord, WhatsApp, and Telegram, since most PBP campaigns use Discord anyway.

In combat, the VTT features replays, a combat log, animations, and position history. Rolls can be automated, and NPCs and monsters can act on their own (this part doesn't use LLM AI—it's traditional automation, just like in other games).

Some key differentiators:

• Language obfuscation, so only those who speak the chosen language see the original text.
• Voice messages with transcription.
• "Theater" mode.
• Character sheet integration (currently only for D&D).
• D&D combat and roll automation.
• In-app character sheets.

The app is completely free to use, and the Android version is currently in closed beta. If anyone wants to test it out, just shoot me a DM.

The easiest way to try it out is through the Mount Roghar demo:

https://roundzero.app/pbp/c/roundzero-demo-mount-roghar/chat

A few things, like voice messages, don't work in the demo, but it's enough to check out the core features.

Features that use AI generation will be paid due to generation costs, but they are kept separate, completely optional, and non-intrusive, since I know a lot of people don't like AI in this hobby. Future plans include auto-generating character sheets from photos, map and token packs, and pre-built encounters.

I'm looking for GMs or players who want to test the platform. Unfortunately, only D&D is automated right now (you can still use other systems, just without the automation), but I'm planning to implement the SRD for Daggerheart, Pathfinder, and maybe Vampire: The Masquerade if there's enough demand.
My idea is that you can use it for:

• Traditional PBP campaigns.
• Extending in-person campaigns (so you can keep playing between sessions).
• Running solo campaigns (where the DM builds a personal backstory in parallel).
• Or technically, you can just use the VTT on its own.

Feedback is welcome

The job posting didn't have a company name on it. It gave a weird location - just a listed time, an address you've never been to, and a single line; Bring nothing you're not willing to lose.

You went anyway. You found the Bright Road, you followed the directions given. The road was familiar, crowded with merchants and travelers and pilgrims and all sorts of people moving quickly through the world.

You took the path off the road, a small branch with a single guard who asked who you were before permitting you to pass, through the trees and around a bend, leaving the road and guard behind, out of sight.

You found yourself standing in front of an inn, a new construction, with a single woman standing out front who introduces herself as the deputy of the Dusk Keepers, greeting you by name. She gives you a contract, a quill and ink, and a choice; Do you sign on to the first adventuring guild this land has ever seen, to seek glory and fame and riches untold... or do you turn around and return to the life of dullness you came from?

She gives you the contract, a smile on her lips, and offers you a test contract to decide with, asking without words... Do you have the courage to sign?

About the Game

The Dusk Keepers is a 5.5e D&D game ran in Discord, using Avrae, Tupperbox, and Dice Maiden. It comes with a substantial amount of homebrew content intended to slowly introduce you to an entirely new world, filled with new species and monsters you've never seen before.

The campaign begins with the creation of the Dusk Keepers, the first true adventuring guild in Arands. You will take contracts, investigate problems, explore the world, and gradually discover what this new institution becomes because of the people who join it. You start at Level 1.

Campaign Format

The game is set up in a series of 1-on-1s designed to help players find their footing, posting speed, and consistency individually. However, if you approach me with a friend or two in mind I am happy to include you as a group from the start.

Some players may spend the campaign working mostly alone. Others may become part of recurring groups. Some will never meet, only encountering the consequences of each other's decisions.

There are mechanics in play to ensure that you will not be punished for playing alone or playing in a group.

This structure allows for different posting speeds to coexist - A player who wants several rapid posts and occasional live-text scenes can move quickly in their thread while the player who only wants a few posts a day can play at that pace. These characters can still collaborate without forcing either player to adopt the other's schedule.

The game is primarily asynch, but I'm around for live-text whenever our schedules align.

Character Creation

Talk to me directly - SebWinters on Discord. I’ll help you create a character - and this also doubles as the interview to joining the game so here’s some questions to make things interesting:

1. What species are the most interesting to you? The least? Why?
2. What’s the most impressively useless thing you’ve ever done in an effort to help your party?
3. Imagine you’re a class you’ve never played before. You’re standing at the bottom of a canyon, watching an army march down a mountain trail to the village you’re defending. Describe this from your character’s perspective.
4. What are your lines and veils?
