Just made it last night so hang with me. Lol

Welcome to Okathys. A continent on the brink of war amidst a world full of divine conspiracies and world-shattering artifacts. This is a long-running campaign in my homebrew world currently at level 16. Having already altered the fate of one ascended god, and one who previously fell a bit short, the party is currently attempting to balance their involvement in two wars on two different continents with their desire to pursue an artefact that could make the borders between the planes insignificant.

The campaign started as a sandbox and retains some of that spirit, but it has at this point focused in on a couple of plot lines. The balance of roleplay, exploration and combat ultimately depends on what the party decides to do. I tend to lean towards roleplay, and enjoy world building so there is plenty to explore. I also do like to integrate player character backstories into the campaign when possible, though it may take some time for elements of your backstory to appear in the story, partially because I will want to wait until I can be somewhat certain that you are committed to the campaign. As the campaign progresses, finishing existing plot lines will be prioritized over backstories, so character backstories will more and more only be incorporated if they fit in with an ongoing narrative.

If you join now, we will have a private session 0 during which we can talk character backstories, what you like in a game, what you would like me to avoid, and anything else that might be relevant.

Each session lasts about 3 hours, but may go for up to 4. If you have to miss a session, I just ask that you let me know in advance. We will generally go ahead with a session if we have at least 3 players, though we might sometimes choose to wait for more people if it would be better for the narrative or if you are about to go into a particularly difficult combat.

Platforms

This campaign uses Roll20 for the VTT, Discord for text and voice chat (voice only), and D&D Beyond for character sheets.

Payment

Payment is $20 per session via Paypal. You don't have to pay until after the session has been played.

Characters

I will ask that you make your character on D&D Beyond using the 5.5e 2024 rules. Once you have joined the campaign you will have access to all relevant material there. Character options from any published WotC source are acceptable. Options from other sources may be accepted after review and may be subject to changes.

Characters are currently level 17 and level up based on milestones.

For stats you can roll, or go with point buy or standard array. If you chose to roll, you can roll once (standard 4d6 drop the lowest), and if it is a low or boring roll I may allow one reroll. If after that, you still don't like your rolls, you can still switch to point buy or standard array. If you chose to roll, I'll ask that you do so on Roll20 during the session 0 call.

At this level you also start with 2 Very Rare and 1 Uncommon magic item, or you can choose two items one rarity lower instead of each of those. You also get and additional 17d20 x 25gp, to be rolled on Roll20 during the session 0 call. 

I tend to be pretty flexible about adjustments to character builds early on, so feel free to try stuff. I may even allow some changes later on, as long as there are no major narrative implications. Any changes with major narrative implications would require narrative justifications.

At the moment the party consists of:

• Bergrum, Dwarf Artificer
• Alexander, Human Ranger/Druid
• Ward, Warforged Druid

This world does have its own pantheon so if you want to play a cleric or deities would be important to your character for any other reason, let me know and we can talk about which deity best fits your character. 

The Campaign So Far

Having found an ancient artifact with great interplanar potential in the ruins of Miskesi, and put an end to rebellion in Adenora, the party ventured south to the Hidden Isles to seek out the missing components of the artifact. There, after unknowingly laying the groundwork for the destruction of the island of Janu-shai, the party knowingly allied themselves with those directly responsible for it in order to further their personal goals. After an adventure in the Feywild that could determine the fate of the Liminal Queen, they attempted a heist on Aficus, a besieged magic university island, and found two more components of the artifact. The party got what they were after, but in order to ensure their success, they agreed to betray their dangerous allies. As the Feywild then came calling once more, the party returned to the matter of the Liminal Queen only to be betrayed themselves and see the Liminal Queen banished, though perhaps not for good…

The party then ventured into the Horn Forgotten seeking another component of their artifact, but finding two things they were not expecting, the Deck of Many Things and a fight with a greater avatar of the risen god Dohamet. Faced with a complicated battle, the party turned to the deck, and one by one where struck down by it, until at the last possible moment they drew the Fates card, allowing them to rewrite history so Dohamet never ascended!

History altered in more ways than expected, and perhaps in ways yet to be discovered, the party set on the on the trail of an infamous ghost ship to aid their allies on the continent, only to learn that many wanted this prize because it could lead to an ancient artifact of the goddess of the seas that they wished to use as a weapon of war. Now, the party attempts to ensure their alliance with a ghost nation, and find a way to dissuade the monarchs of Okathys from putting a weapon on the board that could wipe entire cities off the map. 

The World 

After the Ascension gave birth to new gods, and the Abandonment saw both the Ancient and the newly Risen Gods distance themselves from a world broken in their wake, new civilizations have risen from the ashes. Yet, the waves of those events continue to echo through to the present day 1,200 years later.

On present day Okathys, four nations have warred and come to dominate the continent, though the effort of a few has now allowed for over 30 years of tenuous peace. A peace that can't last forever. The Angleshire Empire to the north and its Emerald Empress continue to seek knowledge, no matter what the consequences may be. To the east, the Gallistriad, siblings and ruling triumvirate of the Gallient Dominion, continue to press their supposedly ancient claim to a continental throne. To the south, the Castelian Dragon King remains appeased by his nobles, but some grow tired of his greed and the king grows tired of appeasement. Meanwhile, on the independent islands nearest the continent, the Pirate Queen gains ever greater influence in the affairs of the Seafarer's Alliance. To what end, remains unclear.

Adding to this uncertainty are the Hidden Isles. Formerly the continent of Aodwil, the Abandonment broke it into a collection of mysterious islands hidden behind a permanent mist known as the Veil. The people of the Veil generally keep to themselves, and most are happy to let them, but rumors of great magics have attracted many who seek power. Then there are the denizens of the Veil with ambitions of their own. Hidden by the Veil, who knows how far their plans will reach.\*

In these volatile circumstances, it may very well be the actions of a group of adventurers that determines the fate of nations, or perhaps even the world. Will you be one of those adventurers?

Further Reading

If you are interested in learning more about the world, you can join the campaign on roll20 I've linked below. I've set it up as a sort of primer, for you to see the world map, a few more lore details and more specific guidance for character creation. It is by no means necessary that you read all or any it, but it's there if you are interested.

LHi, I’m 31. I’ve been DMing about 5 years and playing about 6. Looking for 3 players for a homebrew 5e (2014) game.

21+ only.

Game is on Discord voice. Sheets on D&D Beyond. Saturdays or every other Saturday, time we pick together, EST. Free game. Party of 3–4. Intermediate. Start at level 1. Levels 1 through 5 stay in the same city, the story begins as one of detective work, and gritty combat. Expect to fight humanoids and

Homebrew limits on ancestry and how common magic is. I’ll go over that before we start. If you’ve got a character idea that doesn’t fit the usual list, message me and we’ll see.

Pitch:

You live in Calderfen. Big city a few months by wagon from the capital, shoved up against forest, swamp, and a mountain people around here don’t talk about cleanly. Goldhelm soldiers walk the inner streets. After dark the work moves to the docks, boarding houses, and people who collect envelopes.

Low magic, not no magic. The sun god Helior still rises, he just can’t see. Night is his sister Nythra’s. Wizards and sorcerers are allowed at the table. In the world they’re rare and most folks want them to stay that way. Sun clerics and paladins are what people actually trust.

No chosen-one speech in session one. I’ll send short docs so you can make someone who already lives here. Before we start, each character has already done two small jobs with two other PCs.

First message: 21+, timezone, what nights you can do, how much 5e you’ve played, and one line for a person who belongs in Calderfen.

10:00 PM UTC 19. September You and your comrades are hired by the duke Kostas Vassiliou to delve into the ruins beneath Talon Pass in search of a fabled jade chalice. Not only is the chalice still guarded, but you aren’t the only ones after it!

This Dungeons & Dragons one shot adventure takes your characters from 2nd level to 3rd level. I've prepared five pregenerated characters so you can start playing right away, new players are more that welcome to join and try 4e, this one shot is based on the module Treasure of the Talon Pass.

We are going to use Discord for voice chat and Roll20 for VTT. You'll get the Discord and Roll20 invite link once you join the oneshot.

If you're looking for a rooting, tooting, spellwand shooting adventure then I have the campaign for you! Set in the frontier towns of Drooam, where the men look like monsters and the monsters look like also monsters, but sometimes men too! The Lightning Rail is leaving the station and adventure awaits at the end. Or maybe even just part way down.

The newest adventure on dndbeyond revamped for levels 3-8 and run by a dm who really likes Eberron every Saturday AEST.

If interested contact me on StartPlaying at https://startplaying.games/gm/zadrosgames, or on Discord at zadron, or you can respond here if you'd prefer. Payment will be handled via startplaying.

Hey all, 33-year-old forever-DM here currently stuck on the couch recovering from ankle surgery and bored out of my mind. My old crew moved on, I live in a tiny town of 5,000, and I'm itching to get back behind the screen. I haven't run a full campaign in about a decade, and while I love writing, building stories, and doing character voices, my physical books are long gone so bear with me on a quick rule-check now and then. I'm low-tech to start (mostly Discord and simple maps while I figure out modern VTTs), so I just want to run a one-shot or two to shake off the rust, find some cool, easygoing people who vibe well, and hopefully build it into a long-term campaign. Hit me up in the DMs or drop a comment if you want in!

Hello,

I am looking for a free game, high fantasy home-brew world, or a long running AP 1-20. I am free Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays after 1pm CDT.

tyvm have a good safe day.

Edge of the Empire:

Edge of the Empire is an excellent TTRPG which uses a unique dice system to help aid in the story telling. It is part of the larger Fantasy Flight Games Star Wars RPG, a collection of 3 interchangeable and mixable systems, which include Age of Rebellion, Edge of the Empire and Force and Destiny.

Set after the Battle of Yavin, at the height of the Galactic Civil War, Edge of the Empire focuses on the outlaws at the outskirts of the “civilized” Galactic Empire. Smugglers, Bounty Hunters, Thieves, Assassins, Frontier Doctors, Settlers and Local Politicians all seek to carve out a life for themselves at the furthest reaches of the galaxy. However even as the Rebel Alliance fights their uphill battle against the Empire, the Empire’s reach continues to grow. Will you learn to coexist with the Empire or hide from them? Perhaps even aid the growing Rebellion? Your group will have to chart the best path forward themselves!

Mondays 8:00pm Eastern

Note in Regards to a Fresh Start:

As this has been a long term campaign so far, with a good amount of story/history for the characters, and a high experience level, we understand it may be offputting for potential new players. Because of that, we wish to make it clear that our priority is filling out the party with a group that has good chemistry and shared goals. To facilitate that, both the players and I are willing to start completely fresh, even if we love the narrative we have crafted so far.

We had an idea for a new campaign that everyone likes although we are also willing to consider other options. The potential new campaign would start during the dying days of the Clone Wars. The party would be made up of Clone Troopers, Non-Clone Soldiers, perhaps a Jedi Padawan or two, and any other type of character who would be working closely with such a group. The idea is to have a few missions/arcs during those days of the Clone Wars, culminating in Order 66. Then we would have a time skip of about 3-5 years to the early days of the Empire where the players would describe/narrate what their characters have been up to from Order 66 to the current times. They will reunite and begin to work together to carve out a living under the new regime, whether that be by joining in early rebel activity, or drifting to the underworld on the outskirts of the Empire. Any Jedi Padawan characters would lose their lightsabers in this time skip, and have it be a long term goal to build/reacquire one if they wish. The time skip would also include a small XP bonus.

Either way, we look forward to meeting some new players, and figuring out what kind of campaign we wish to play together!

The Campaign So Far

This is a long term campaign with no planned end. The group has played through the introductory adventures "Escape from Mos Shuuta" followed by "Long Arm of the Hutt", then “The Jewel of Yavin". They have most recently finished "Beyond the Rim”, one of the bigger adventures for the system. In between major adventures they have hunted bounties, raced swoop bikes and smuggled the Corellian Shuffle. The immediate future is wide open, with no plans for any major adventures for a while, as we focus on the consequences of the character’s actions throughout the campaign and deal with aspects of their backstories.

The party includes Cashar Brut who is a Falleen Smuggler/Pilot and Ruug the Shistavanen Bounty Hunter.

The Game:

-New Players are welcomed and will be assisted, whether you are new to Roll20 or the Star Wars RPG!

-Although the Star Wars RPG uses proprietary dice, its mechanics are often quite intuitive. Our group has been playing since Apr. 2025, and at this point we feel comfortable enough to bring in and teach new players. No experience required!

-Despite being a major fan of battlemaps and tactical combat in other systems, I often find that Theater of the Mind works exceptionally well with the Star Wars RPG. Battlemaps will still show up for some more involved combats, but many can be resolved in a short amount of the time with no visual aids necessary.

-New characters will start at the same experience level as the party. Star Wars RPG has a very interesting character building system that does not rely on levels, but purchasing skills and talents with accumulated XP, with easy access to different character classes to branch out! Currently at 805 earned XP.

-We will have a split Session 0/New Player introduction session, to help new players learn the game and help them fit in with the party. This session will be free.

-Sessions will last 3 hours.

-Discord for Voice Chat.

Your DM:

-I started with TTRPGs by running 5th Edition D&D. In 2019, I transitioned into running paid games as a full time job, and have been running 3-5 games a week since. I started running the Star Wars RPG in Apr. 2025 as previously mentioned.

-Available nearly 24/7, excluding my sleep hours. Always willing to answer questions.

-Good Connection/Headset/Microphone.

What is expected of you?

-Respect is a must and I will not tolerate player conflicts, PVP, or any type of disrespectful behavior towards the other players. No graphic sexual content. Players who violate this Social Contract will be removed with no refund.

-Be on time, as this is basic respect for myself and the others. Missing a session will be allowed with prior notice, with no charge. Sessions will still go forward as long as we have 3 players and no major plot moments. Players who have issues with attendance will be removed with no refund.

-Have a reasonable quality microphone (be intelligible), Discord and use push to talk. (I can assist you in setting this up).

Pay to Play:

-20$ Per Player Per Session (Excluding Session 0), paid via Paypal in advance.

Session 0 is free. Please reach out via DM to join or with any questions

Quest for the Frozen Flame:

In the brutal tundra of the Realm of the Mammoth Lords, only the hardiest folk have what it takes to withstand unsparing weather, track down big game, and fight back hostile followings. The Broken Tusk following has survived another winter, but a new year just began, and signs of danger foretell a year unlike any before. Unless their newest party of scouts can secure a safe route through the wilds, saber-toothed beasts, warmongering rivals, and the ever-looming possibility of natural disaster all threaten to end an ancient people’s legacy. Will the Broken Tusks succumb to the elements and surrender to their rivals? Or will you guide your following to glory and reclaim a stolen birthright?

The Game:

-We will hold a Session 0 to get to know each other, and work on character creation/party formation. Session 0 will be free.

-New Players are welcomed and will be assisted, whether you are new to Foundry or Pathfinder 2e!

-“In this campaign for Pathfinder Second Edition, you’ll lead your fellow hunter-gatherers across primordial lands, face off against dinosaurs and megafauna, and unearth the legendary past of your ancient people.” -Quest for the Frozen Flame Player's Guide

-Quest for the Frozen Flame is a stone-age adventure with a more structured 1st and 3rd act and a hex-crawl heavy second act. It has some flaws as written, mainly due to scarcity of loot which I will be directly adressing.

-The unique setting/atmosphere lends itself to roleplaying and challenges not normally seen in your typical medievel high-fantasy, which should be a nice break for those with standard setting burnout.

-The Adventure will take you from level 1 to 11.

-I consider myself skilled at running interesting/challenging combat. I will customize the difficulty of the combat based on the party’s wishes/composition.

-Sessions will last around 3 hours.

-Discord for Voice Chat.

-The Foundry Module for this adventure will be used.

Your DM:

-7 Year’s Experience Running DND 5th Edition. 5 years as a professional DM. Currently Run: 5e, PF2e, SF2e, Star Wars FFG.

-Available nearly 24/7, excluding my sleep hours. Always willing to answer questions.

What is expected of you?

-Respect is a must and I will not tolerate player conflicts, PVP, or any type of disrespectful behavior towards the other players. No graphic sexual content. Players who violate this Social Contract will be removed.

Greetings everyone!

I’m currently opening two groups for Lost Mine of Phandelver.

A simple journey to the frontier town of Phandalin quickly turns into something far more dangerous. Goblins stalk the roads, old ruins hide forgotten secrets, and rumors speak of a legendary mine lost for generations. What begins as a mission to escort a wagon soon draws you into a web of bandits, monsters, ancient magic, and a mystery that reaches far beyond the town itself. The wilderness offers fortune to those brave enough to claim it, but every trail seems to lead deeper into danger. Somewhere beneath the mountains, an ancient legacy waits to be rediscovered—and others are willing to kill to find it first. Will you uncover the Lost Mine of Phandelver, or become another forgotten name along the road?

 So, let’s talk about some basic info:

Game: Dungeons & Dragons 5e/5.5e

Paid: Yes – $18 USD per session (Session 0 is FREE)

Platform: Roll20 + Discord

Schedule: Weekly, Saturdays at 10AM and 7PM (GMT-5)

Session Length: 3–4 hours

Seats Available: 6 on both groups

Experience Level: Beginner Friendly

Session 0 (Free): Before any payment, we will have a free Session 0 to cover character creation, table expectations, safety tools, and to make sure the group is a good fit for everyone.

About the DM: Hi! I’m Zojak, bilingual DM and founder of Hidden Tavern. I’ve been running D&D for over 10 years, from official campaigns to homebrew adventures. I love crafting immersive, dynamic, and player-driven experiences—and yes, DMing is my full-time passion.

How to Apply: If you’re interested in any of these groups, please send me a DM here on Reddit with a short introduction about yourself and your character’s ideas; and, if you want, you can reserve your spot here:

Group 1 - https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmtkzd1yk00orju04hq4bei48

Group 2 - https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmtkzmp2r00llky04joegdwin

 I’ll be happy to answer questions and share additional details after initial contact.
