Hey there! We’re a group of (presently) 5 dedicated players looking for a skilled and story-focused DM and one additional player to guide and join us through a long-term D&D 5e campaign where roleplay and character arcs are the heart of the story. We're aiming for a game that could go all the way to level 20(but isn't required) and last a year or more, giving us time to develop and explore our characters’ narratives fully.
Schedule & Tools Game Time: Tuesdays, 6pm–9/10pm CST
Voice: Discord
VTT: Roll20
RP Between Sessions: Encouraged! We enjoy character interaction and downtime RP via Discord text channels.
NO PAY TO PLAY
NO other systems or D&D editions.
About Us
-4 Experienced players + 1 newiish player, all eager to collaborate!
-LGBTQ+ friendly, inclusive group
-Communicative and invested in longform storytelling
-Comfortable with mature/R-rated content (violence, trauma, moral ambiguity, etc.). We'll establish boundaries and hard lines during Session Zero to ensure a safe space for everyone
-Romance-friendly: We enjoy exploring romantic subplots as part of our character arcs, but it won’t be the central theme of the campaign
-Looking for a DM who is reliable, communicative, and passionate about collaborative storytelling
What We’re Looking For in a Campaign
-RP-Focused: Character-driven story where our PCs are integral to the plot and world
-Integrated Backstories: Each of us has crafted a detailed backstory with personal goals—we’d love to work with a DM to integrate them meaningfully into the narrative
-Purposeful Combat: We want fights to arise from narrative stakes, not just to fill space
-Long-Term Campaign: Preferably a campaign that spans 1+ year, giving space for everyone’s character arcs to shine over time
-Homebrew Setting Encouraged (not required): Interested DM's with homebrew settings should be prepared with shareable content on their setting. Many in the group are willing to even contribute to fleshing it out for even more content for backstory integration! Ideally, a setting that isn't utopic and not everyone gets along. Some nations and/or races may clash. Party has no problem contending with discrimination in-game.
-Module-Adaptable: Open to playing a WOTC or 3rd-party campaigns (e.g., Dragonheist, Rise of Tiamat, Theros) if adapted and customized for our party. This is not a requirement!
-Sandbox or Linear: With our interest lying in collaborative storytelling, we lean towards a semi-sandbox style campaign that allows the party to explore the world and each others characters more freely alongside a story-throughline and better enable integration of our respective backstories into the overarcing campaign.
Character Creation & System
-Starting at Level 3
-Milestone leveling
-Stat generation: Roll, Point Buy, or Standard Array—player’s choice
-Allowed content: 2014/5e only—no 2024/OD&D or pre-5e content
-Homebrew and 3rd-party content permissible on review
-Homebrew rules: DM should be prepared to discuss any house rules so the group can provide input. Our consensus rules include:
-No variant gold systems. 1PP = 10GP. If GP is the sole coin in play, item values and payouts should be adjusted accordingly
-No ammo tracking except for specialty ammo (exploding/healing/acid/etc arrows or rare firearms). Archers assumed to pick up arrows
-Standard Roll20 criticals preferred.
-Make “shopping sessions” interesting; otherwise, handwave them between sessions to save time
-No sexual content in the VC; FTB rule applies for adult scenes
Player applicants should be prepared to discuss previous characters and/or campaigns.
