Become the legend Iblydos needs.

The city-states of Iblydos are steeped in ancient myths, legendary beasts, and the deeds of hero-gods. But the rites that once raised great heroes to divine stature are failing. Your story begins in Bailax, where funeral games honor a fallen hero—until a strange omen shatters the celebration and awakens a power in your characters that could reshape the archipelago.

Your adventure includes:

- The Acropolis Pyre: Compete in the funeral games and face the chaos that erupts in Bailax.

- Death Sails a Wine-Dark Sea: Discover the cost and source of your growing mythic power, and seek the wisdom and allies you’ll need.

- Titanbane: Confront the threat beneath Iblydos and help decide the islands’ future.

What to expect:

- The complete three-book Myth-Speaker Adventure Path

- Character progression from level 1 to level 10

- Mythic heroes, ancient mysteries, legendary creatures, and a Greek-inspired archipelago

- Dangerous encounters, exploration, and memorable allies and rivals

We’ll play Pathfinder 2e in Foundry VTT, with voice chat on Discord. Your characters don’t need to start as legends—the adventure is about how they become them.

🤓 About me

• I played RPG's for over 10 years, almost exclusively as a DM. Conventions, local game centers and community interactions are all things I did and enjoyed. Decided to go online to continue what is, to put it the simplest, my passion.
• Full-time GM: 1000+ games/100+ reviews on startplaying.games. My games are what I spent the majority of my time on, improving, making maps and running adventures and new systems.
• I developed FoundryVTT modules for Archvillain Chronicles patreon.
• I worked with Kickstarter projects creating whole modules for FoundryVTT. My recent big project is the LANCER module Pass the Torch. The demo is available completely for free, check it out yourself as it speaks highly of my craft.
• Several ongoing campaigns: players are engaged, looking forward toward next sessions, actively engaging in our discord community.
• I would picture myself as a rules as fun DM rather then rules as written. I do homebrew materials, constantly rewriting and improving. I reward roleplay and creative thinking. My players make the story - I just flesh it out.

👉 What am I paying for?

• The work I put into my campaigns: I always make sure to purchase additional maps, resources and outright change and adapt the story if need be just so my players have a memorable time
• Dedicated players with a certain level of maturity, a fee eliminates player no-shows and creates a full experience where we look to finish the module, not just start it.
• Scripts and modules that automate the combat and provide players with a smooth gameplay experience
• Full access to Heroforge
• Maps from talented patreon creators: Domille's Wondrous Works, Czepeku, Mad Cartographer and more.
• VTT dice from Q-workshop and Rollsmith.

The Ruby Phoenix Tournament is a team fighting championship named after a famed sorceress. The winning team gets to pick a single item from a legendary hoard, but such things are never that simple. Contestants get to rub shoulders with world leaders, other heroes and may or may not get pulled into machinations they weren't even aware of...

The group

This party has been playing together since January 2021. Everyone is stable, punctual, respectful, and fun to be around. One player left in December due to work issues, and i was so loathe to tamper with the party dynamics i didn't even look for a replacement. Recently a second player had to take a break for personal reasons, and three just isn't as fun. My goal is to recruit up to a party of five, leaving room for him to come back in a few months.

Anyway, after playing for four years we've played Tomb of Annihilation, Rime of the Frostmaiden, Curse of Strahd, Dragon Heist and Dungeon of the Mad Mage. After all that the party was asking for something "different", which brought us to the third party Jewel of the Indigo Isles. Which brings us to...

Pathfinder

Everyone here is a 5e veteran and PF noob. I spent the last couple of months learning the system, ran a few one-shots, and finally feel confident enough to run a full game. We've run through Season of Ghosts together, and the group loved it so much they wanted the campaign to keep going.

Fortunately there's a second highly appraised PF 2e module that takes place in Tian Xia. Which brings us to...

The game

Fists of the Ruby Phoenix is a level 11-20 module. Which is almost a perfect match for the level 12 party coming out of Season of Ghosts.

It's heavily inspired by Enter the Dragon, Mortal Kombat and the general anime trope of combat competitions.

Campfire embers are the last thing you remember. Whether you were traveling alone or guarding a merchant caravan, the wilderness suddenly went dead silent. Then came the masked attackers—too many, too coordinated, and overwhelmingly lethal. Your camp was slaughtered. But you? You were left alive....then everything goes dark.

When you finally come to, it's in darkness, and you're bound in heavy chains deep underground. If you ever want to feel the sun on your face again, you and your fellow captives must forge a desperate alliance, break free, and survive an escape that will lead into more villainous plots that only you'll be able to prevent.

PRICE: $20/Session

WHAT YOU GET: 
→ is a full homebrew campaign spanning from levels 2 to high teens (possibly even level 20) campaign with personal character arcs tailored to your character’s backstories woven in with the overall narrative.
→ there is also an artist in my server that will do a free character portrait art for each new character in the server

WHEN: Sundays from 10am  PST. Games will be 4-5 hours long. 

WHERE: the game will be played on Foundry VTT with voice through Discord.

Hey, I am still rather new to Pathfinder (only played Menace Under Otari) and to TTRPGs overall (like one one-shot session and a homebrew campaign in DnD 5.5e) and would really like to continue playing. I will be the first to tell you that I am still really new to all this and I hope that's not an issue, but I do understand if it is.

I really enjoy the combat and role-playing of Pathfinder and how you can tie mechanics in with narrative. I prefer approaching the game in character rather than just meta-planning. I think I mostly prefer serious play rather than pure goofiness, but I still enjoy levity. I consider myself rather flexible and want to make sure everyone is included. is having fun, including the GM.

My schedule is Sunday to Friday, starting at 8 PMEST, I can play for about 4–4.5 hours, or longer if it is a Friday.

Please feel free to message me here if you think I would be a good fit. Thank you, and I hope your games go well regardless.

Hello, everyone! We're a new group of four with a DM who has been running campaigns since 2013 and we have just started a new campaign! Our plan is to run this as a focused homebrew campaign of around 15-20 sessions and if after that we feel like we're a good fit for one another there is potential for launching more campaigns afterwards! For most in this group this is our first time playing together but already have solid chemistry after the first couple of sessions and we're hoping to add a couple more to the mix to round out to a total of 6 players.

We play on Tuesdays from 6:30 PM - 10:30 PM Central Time.

Our game emphasizes on Emergent Gameplay and Collaborative Storytelling with a strong focus on Player Agency.

We aim for our table to be one where everyone can communicate openly, trust one another, and feel comfortable speaking up.

We want to tell the story - together. That means paying attention to what other players give us and building on it, rather than treating our characters as isolated stories.  Everyone should have a hand in shaping the story!

We use Discord for Voice and Video - we do require webcams as we feel it adds a ton to the immersion!

Foundry will serve as our VTT for this campaign.

If you think this sounds like a good fit - apply here and we will reach out with more info: https://forms.gle/sqG938YNgEtQxbfaA

Hello fellow dice rollers! I'm Shin, a DM eager to run MonkeyDM's soulsborne and lovecraftian-inspired supplement for 5e. This will be a longterm campaign that I aim to run for at least a year. It'll be featuring everything introduced in the book, including the Jaegar class, new subclasses, races, eldritch moons, a madness system, trick weapons and more!

I'll be using the adventures included in the book before taking the reins to have you all explore every nook and cranny of the city of Luyarnha. Discover ancient secrets locked away, unveil ways to aid the citizens of the war-torn and scourged-infested city, and go out there just to slay a few beasts. It'll do you some good...

For the nitty gritty details:

This will be using the 2014 ruleset with some variations and homebrew rules. Nothing major, just some things like how it'll be a bonus action to drink or feed a healing potion to an ally rather than a full action.

Ability scores are determined by rolling 5d6 and dropping the lowest two. You will get to roll two sets and pick the one you favor. This helps ensure you get powerful stats. I aim to challenge you, but wish to make you feel like the powerful heroes you have the potential to be. If you wish to use point buy or standard array instead, we'll utilize empowered versions of them.

Free feat. This will stack with Variant Human and Custom Lineage.

Average HP. Subject to change based on some boons you can acquire in the future. More on that later.

You'll be granted access to the Steinhardt related content including the Jaegar class, new races, and new subclasses should you choose to wield such powers...

This will be a level 3-20 adventure.

Throughout the journey through the corrupted city, you will be granted access to a special place that'll act as a hub world of sorts for you. A chance to rest, work maintenance on gear, and to prove your worth and be rewarded boons that'll help. Some rewards include special magical items, switching from average to max hp for each level, unique skills tailored to you, and even epic boons...

I have multiple tables open for Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. All of which are at 5pm CST, with another one on Saturday at 12pm CST.

I'm a pretty laid-back DM, but that doesn't mean I fail in providing a worthwhile session. If you have a different interpretation of a rule, I'm open to listen. I aim to tell a fun, engaging story that'll immerse you in the unique setting. If you work with me, I will repay that kindness tenfold. I want to enjoy rolling some dice with some folks, so please consider booking a game with me.

You can check out my DM profile on StartPlaying to get a better idea of what kind of DM I am.

If you have questions, reach out to me on StartPlaying or here on Reddit.

Cheers.

Quick Information

System: DIE: RPG & Vampire The Masquerade: 5th Edition

Platforms: Discord & FoundryVTT

Time: Weekly on Wednesdays, 5:30 PM MST - 9:30 PM MST

Hello! I'm Clover and I'm looking for 1 - 2 more players to bring our Wednesday group up to 4/5. We've jumped around, trying out a couple systems including D&D 5e, City of Mist, and most recently a Fallout campaign. I'm currently looking to try out a couple systems to hopefully find one that fits for a medium to long-term campaign, and will be running some one-shots to try these out (as I have not personally GMed any of them before), and to see if party dynamic works out before any long-term commitments.

If you're looking to apply for this group you should be open to trying out a couple systems before we settle on one, although if things work out well, we can easily transition with one-shot characters into a full length campaign. The two main systems the group has an interest in playing are DIE: RPG, and Vampire the Masquerade: 5th Edition.

About the Game(s)

DIE is a comic book series by Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans, where a group of real-world, deeply-flawed individuals are transported to a fantasy world via a predatory, sinister roleplaying game. There, they’re transformed into Paragons, each of whom is a warped take on the core fantasy roleplaying classes. In this world, they get to confront how their lives have diverted from their youthful fantasies, to confront their darker sides and buried secrets. They generally cause trouble. It’s Jumani, with a much darker coat of paint.

You make your own social group of messed up, real-world humans. They’re dragged to a world which echoes your own strengths and weaknesses, failures, losses and successes back at you. It is your fantasy world, personal and horrifically yours...

The classes to me are the main draw as players for this system, having some of the most unique and interesting theming and abilities I've seen in a TTRPG. A look at the first issue (which is free) of the comic series the TTRPG comes from will help for understanding the hook of DIE much quicker.

This would be the first system we try out with a one-shot and has a very easy ruleset to pick up on. The other main thing I would mention for this system is its recommendation against doubling up on the classes, letting each PC be unique in their abilities (as shown in the comics) so keep in mind 2 or more classes you would be interested in playing.

The setting for DIE is very malleable depending on the types of characters at the table and is shaped by a "palette" made together by the GM and players, so a proper "campaign pitch" has not been included here.

A further pitch about the setting and system for VTM 5e is available but will not be included here for readability. If you'd like to hear more we can chat during interviews and I can send over some reading material.

About the Group

We have been playing since around 2018, having a few player rotations throughout the years as schedules change. The current group most of us generally have played at least a campaign or two together. With the systems we're interested in playing, a lot of focus will be put on roleplay and fleshing out individual characters so people interested in that kind of game, and that aren't afraid to be invested, talkative, and most of all fans of the other PCs will be a good fit as these are party-based games at their core. We will all be new players to these systems, but generally having some experience with roleplaying and TTRPGS as a whole is going to help as well as we're all pretty experienced in the genre, likewise this group is likely going to move at a pace that is not as beginner friendly.

This group is open to anybody and everybody who would like to apply as we do not support discrimination of any kind. I have a few things I'm personally looking for in an applicant that I'd like to outline:

1. Please have access to Discord, Roll20 (via a computer), and a microphone so that you will be able to access everything needed to play in the campaign.
2. Please make sure you can routinely show up to the session time, obviously real life happens but always try and shoot me a heads-up asap if you know you're going to miss a session.
3. Please be willing to interact, roleplay, and communicate with your fellow players and myself. I'm always open to feedback if it feels like something isn't working.

Don't be afraid to get into character! All of us at the table myself included try our best to get immersed and tell a fun story.

About the GM

You can call me Clover (He/Him), I'm 22 and I've been running TTRPGs for the better part of 8 years across various systems. I've found myself drawn to less mechanically intense more RP-oriented systems as of late and have done my best to immerse myself in the worlds of the systems I've pitched to the group over the past few months. I'm an avid reader of the DIE series, caught up with everything that's come out for it so far, taking lots of inspiration for a possible campaign. I've also got into the WoD setting through actual plays like City Council of Darkness and Norfolk Wizard Game, having created a homebrew chronicle which would be the setting for a Vampire the Masquerade game (set in Charleston, South Carolina).

I love to find and create media for the sake of immersion with campaign playlists, art and NPC references, and maps for most settings and systems. I am against the use of any AI-generated references and would ask that they are not used in regards to this group, doing my best to make sure they are not included in any of my personal references.

Applications!

If you've made it this far feel free to drop an application over at the google form. After that I'll setup some discord interviews so we can have a quick chat and answer any questions you may have for me.

The date for Session 0 will likely be November 4th which will be for discussing campaign content, filling out Lines and Veils, and creating characters. The following Wednesday, November 11th (schedules permitting) will be our one-shot.

DEMON CASTLE PAROUSIA

Prologue

Chicago. Autumn, 1999.

It's the last autumn of the millennium, and the city is coming apart. People are stockpiling water, canned food and cash. Television warns that banks, power grids and phones could fail at midnight on New Year's Eve. Everyone is counting down, and not everyone believes the lights will stay on.

People are disappearing. It started with night-shift workers, the homeless and runaways, and now ordinary families are going missing too. The reports go nowhere, and the police have no answers.

The stories are getting stranger: shapes moving across rooftops, howling near the rail yards, bodies found drained and pale, broadcasts that cut in at 3 a.m. with voices no one can place. Most people laugh them off, but fewer are laughing every week.

And the city is turning on itself. End-times preachers shout down skeptics on street corners. Neighbors buy guns to protect themselves from each other. Every group blames another for the attacks, and trust is breaking down block by block.

Three companies seem to have a hand in everything in Chicago right now, and to the public they're the pillars holding the city together.

Blackmoor Industries is an old-money empire that owns property all over the city: towers, docks, warehouses, new developments and funeral homes. It holds the Vanguard contract and pays for the city's protection. As people leave or vanish, Blackmoor quietly buys up what they leave behind.

Carmilla Dynamics is a cutting-edge pharmaceutical and biotech firm. Its free clinics, blood drives and medical trials come with glossy ads that promise longer, healthier lives. In the poorest neighborhoods, its clinics pay cash for blood.

Vesper Corporation is the city's biggest media company, with TV and radio stations and newspapers. It runs the Y2K-readiness campaign, and it's the voice telling Chicago what to fear and who to blame.

New preachers are appearing in soup kitchens, shelters and on street corners, preaching that the world is ending and a Shepherd will lead the faithful through the dark. Their followers call themselves the Flock and wear a red thread around the wrist. They take in the poor and the lonely, and some who join are never seen again.

Meanwhile, domestic terrorism is on the rise. Churches burn, substations go dark, and bombs go off in public places with no warning and no clear motive. Every week brings a new attack, and every group in the city blames another. Nobody feels safe anymore.

Under the chaos, an underground network trades in off-the-books work. Brokers, fixers and contacts pass jobs along by pager, payphone, email or a note slipped under a door.

The jobs used to be ordinary: guarding a shipment, finding a debtor, getting something out of the city quietly. Lately they've changed. Now it's finding people who went missing, getting into places that are locked and guarded, and asking questions about the companies everyone else is afraid of.

Some of the people who took those jobs haven't come back. But the pay keeps rising, and someone always says yes.

Most of the city will never learn what's behind the chaos. But a few people who answered the same call are about to be brought together, and what they find will pull them past the headlines and the companies into something far older, something that has been waiting in the dark. Before the year is out, they'll learn what Chicago has been hiding.

Dont Speak! A Spooky Halloween adventure

System: Pirate Borg

Price: Free

Schedule: Once / Friday - 6:00 PM EDT

Players: 2/6 players (4 seats left)

GM: Ken (★5/5, 50 reviews)

Ahoy, adventurers! Prepare to hoist the black flag and plunge headlong into the stormy seas of Pirate Borg, a grimdark tabletop RPG inspired by the rules-light chaos of Mörk Borg. This system marries the thrill of high-seas adventure with the gritty, doom-laden tone of a dying world, creating an unforgettable setting where every treasure hunt might be your last.

In Pirate Borg, you’ll step into the boots of a scurvy-ridden scallywag, cursed sorcerer, or treasure-hungry buccaneer, chasing riches, power, or the faint hope of redemption in a lawless world. Sail the seas on creaking ships, navigate treacherous waters, and face horrors both human and supernatural—all while trying to outrun the ever-looming apocalypse. The world is cruel, the dice are fickle, and the sea holds secrets that should never see the light of day.

This isn't your typical heroic pirate tale; this is a game of survival, desperation, and ambition. The rules are quick to learn, deadly in practice, and designed to let you embrace the chaos. Whether you're pillaging coastal villages, battling sea monsters, or mutinying against your captain, Pirate Borg ensures that the line between triumph and ruin is as thin as a razor's edge.

So grab your cutlass, brace for storms, and remember: the sea takes all in the end. Will you rise to infamy or be swallowed by the abyss? The choice—or curse—is yours.

You haven't been Kindred for long, but you've been adapting. The Camarilla is a monstruous monolith, but also fairly simple to understand: don't give anyone a reason, and you might just make it one more night. From what you've learned, the modern nights are a different kind of beast. The Masquerade is as frail as it's ever been, and while your Domain is usually uneventful and has managed to keep out of the Inquisition's sight, any misstep could send everything spiraling.

So it came to a shock to everyone when the worst masquerade breach in years struck this frail stability two nights ago. A nurse left drained on the concrete and a shaky recording of the incident on the net. And now, a blood hunt has been called upon the suspected culprit, and the worst part? It's someone you know, and she swears by her innocence.
The clock is ticking, and your coterie has a choice: race against time to prove your friend's innocence and bring the true culprit to justice, or join the hunt to reap the benefits, betraying both your friend and your very humanity.
