"A real sense of a world and a story to explore" - current player review More reviews at https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmn29jth10031jy047qj8r5o0 Pick up your guns, and save the Material Plane! - Blast your way through a dying D&D weird west, with new firearm-themed magic items, spells, and subclasses - Fight an enigmatic cult, set on making the apocalypse even worse - Track down mysterious tarot cards and solve the puzzle of creation - Prevent (or abet!) an inter-planar jailbreak - Mind Flayer Train Heist Hear what Jacob the DM has to say about Spireward Bound at https://youtu.be/8lGXO76AeW8 At the centre of the Great Wheel lies the Material Plane, and at the centre of the Material Plane is Sigil. A flying city of portals, the City of Doors has closed. The gods have decreed that The Reckoning has come and the Material Plane's time is over. All that is left now is the Endlands, immeasurable leagues of sunless wastes, fled by all who can escape to the Outer Planes. But something else moves in the shadows. Might there be something worse than the end of the Material Plane after all? In this mash-up of Planescape and Stephen King's Dark Tower epic, you will explore a reality moving on, discover the secrets of its creation, and decide its fate once and for all. Your heroes have come together from across D&D's time and space to a land of sunless light, unpredictable magic, and guns. Lots of guns. Let's hope you're quick on the draw. Built for players with all levels of experience, Spireward Bound follows a semi-episodic structure. Every few sessions, your characters are confronted with a new, exciting situation on your journey, each of which is designed for open-ended adventure. Our adventure is underway, but there's room at the fireside for more travelers! The posse are level 12 and consists of: 🐎 Potra Equidos, Centaur Paladin and entertainer, dedicated to Kelemvor. Always the first to charge in with battle axe and shotgun, but never sure we're going the right way. ✊ Jasir al-Sahir, Drow Monk/Warlock, newly undead and struggling with the competing influence of Dabus 19 and the Frontier Flames. A increasingly erratic investigator with a hound at his side. 🐲 Fin, Kobold Rogue and seasoned bounty hunter. A little guy with a big job, eager to track down the Herald. In pursuit of the Justice Tarot and worried about growing danger to the Endlands, they find themselves planning to hijack a Mind Flayer train!

A new in-person cinematic campaign using the ALIEN RPG system. If you like ALIEN, retro sci-fi or just want to try a new system then we would love to have you. Join the crew, Wayland-Yuntani offer great benefits. A survival horror style game in the ALIEN universe, following characters as they try to survive the machinations of mega-corporations, hostile alien life and each other. Mainly strung together scenarios from offical and community resources with a bit of homebrew to tie it all together.  The ALIEN ttrpg is a heavily stylised, cinematic ttrpg system focusing on atmosphere and story telling, focuisng on mechanics mainly when things get desperate. It aims to mimic the feel of the Alien movies. It offers a different style of play from other system that offers compelling beats with which to tell a tense and dramatic story at the table. The system can be has a higher chance of character death than something like D&D, much more similar to Call of Cthulhu, it is survival horror after all. We aim to create a fun, if spooky, storytelling game. This being said everyone should feel comfortable at the table. We will lay some ground rules for what people are ok with, and the GM does regular check in to make sure everyone is doing ok; and if a topic comes up that uncomforable it will immediatly be skipped. The aim to have fun first and foremost. Meeting new people can be a little daunting, so can new ttrpg systems, but we hope you will give it a try.  Exact Day and Location not yet decided, and will be dependent on player and availability.
