Players: 3 slots have opened up for a 3rd group for a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday ~1900 UTC. Please reply below if you're interested.
GMs:I have many players and just me as the GM. I need GMs - please read the following:
I'm looking for a GM to co-GM my game. I currently have 2-3 sessions running, a Sunday and a Wednesday session 1800hrs (GMT+1), both of which feed into each other (i.e. if one group blows up a house, that house is in ruins for the other group on the next session).
I've got too many players and I don't want to say 'no, full, sorry' - in fact I want more groups playing on the same map because it builds content and creates more opportunities for characters and their players to enjoy.
The GM would need to communicate and listen to myself and other GMs for updates about what has happened in the world and where. They would then use this information to build and adapt the storyline for their group and the world as a whole. The GM would, therefore, also need to demonstrate ability to listen to and adapt with what I have created, what I have planned for a beginning, middle, middle and end for the campaign(s).
If this interests you, please contact me via private message with what days you are available to GM and how many sessions you can run per week.
Thank you!
Original post:
I am running a homebrew campaign and I'm looking for players for a new group on Wednesdays 6pm GMT+1. I already have a group running on Sundays and this campaign will echo that group. There are 6 places available at the time of writing this post.
We use Discord and DNDBeyond, we have no maps yet as they are unnecessary for the moment (I'll make them later if/when the campaign gets more complicated); theatre of the mind and imagination is therefore encouraged.
The setting is Victorian and Steampunk blend homebrew and you'll be starting with a level 1 character at a port-side tavern in a town specialising in the fishing of crab.
The tavern looks like it's built on Roman foundations and has been burnt down and rebuilt many times over on the same footprint. The town's main buildings are decorated with steam-assisted clockwork and most fires are magical, only some industries still use coal.
You may be given chance to ride or even purchase a steam driven motorcycle or car, but they will be rickety early-generation type designs which are very expensive to purchase, difficult to operate and inconvenient to maintain. You may spot airships in the sky but it's rumoured their tickets cost at least 3000 gold to ride.
Most NPC public are low level artificers with dreams of owning or working on the airships and are always keen to see new spells or equipment to fuel their aspirations while working on new mechanised mills and factories.
Elsewhere, outside the main towns and cities, the countryside hamlets and small villages with no real industry prospects are stuck in the viking way of living, most never having even seen a car let alone a proper road, and still rely on horses for transport while concentrating on farming livestock. Some NPC public are paranoid about the airships flying very high or far away from them.
Use any hook you want to describe how and why you got to the starting location, but it could be that your character heard that a tavern keeper, in the town you'll be starting in, is giving out bounties and that you need some coin. Backstories on the character sheets are encouraged.
Whatever the previous group has done in the world will have cause and effect on the world for your group and, likewise, whatever your group does will have cause and effect for that group too.
Progression will be XP based and ability points can be manually rolled and chosen from the best of 3 stacks (group rolls). If you struggle with this, I can help you personally later on.
I'll also be running the game as 'if it's not on your character sheet, you don't have it' and 'can you explain how you got that?' - so, for example, make sure you have clothes in your inventory otherwise I'll assume you're walking into a tavern naked.
If you're interested, please comment below and I will send out invites around the 6th August. This should give you plenty of time to decide what kind of characters you'd like to start off with.
Even if more than 6 apply, I will keep names for a further group to be created for another day of the week. I may want someone to step up as a GM to echo what I'm doing for a third or even a fourth group. We'll see.
Heyyy, this sounds an awesome setting for a campaign. I'm busy the next few weeks but would be interested if you decided to create another group in the future, feel free to message/add me on discord - summerrrrr#5808
Hi! I'd love to join if there's room. I love the idea and the setting. I'm flexible with which class to play. Might go crazy with the backstory though :)
Hay Ancient Mutt, i would like to join this campaign! Reason being the fitting schedule as well as the intriguing ways you seem to play the game. I have multiple unplayed characters on the ready to decide what i will be depending on what the party lacks or wants. My discord is Shruikan#8114 and i'll be looking forward to hearing from you.
