"Imagine if you could just instantly join a D&D game. No having to worry about finding a group that fits your time, no struggling to find a group, no scheduling issues."
For many just being able to join a D&D game whenever would be the dream for many a player and forever DM. The Endless D&D Project aims to make this reality possible.
How the Endless D&D Project Works
The Endless D&D Project works by having a total of 42 DM's DMing a single 4 or 2 hour guild quest once per week in the same world at specific times of the day.
After each 4 hour session there is an extra 30 minutes available for the DM to wrap things up and get everyone back to the guild before the next DM comes in with the next quest. This continues forever and as DM's decide to stop DMing new DM's come in to take over their time slot.
12:00 to 4:30am
4:30am - 9:00am
9:00am - 1:30pm
1:30pm - 5:00pm
5:00pm - 9:30pm
9:30pm - 12:00
Between 3 - 6 players can join a single quest. Players sign in to an automated system to get placed into a D&D game at a time they want. DM's can also join in, so you get to be a player as well.
Each day of real time equals a full day in D&D. Every player gets a total of two short rests per day and at 12:00pm NZDT everyone gains the benefit of a long rest. (You cannot long rest in a session)
Quests have level tags which allow only certain level characters to join. This keeps things fair. Also individual characters level up based on the amount of quests they have done.
How DMing works in the project
As I said in the post title I am looking for Core DMs who are interested in DMing for the project. I already have 6 of the DM's I need from my own list of players who want to help me out.
In this project there are four types of DM's
- Core DM's
These are the DM's that run the main sessions in each slot throughout the week.
As a core DM you are expected to create or run an adventure for between 3 - 6 players that takes around 4 hours and then log a session summary into the automated system. That is all. Everything else will be taken care of with the automated system.
- Loremasters
These are the core DM's in charge of the worlds lore and creating server wide events.
As a Loremaster you are in charge of creating and helping other dms with the world lore. You will also act as a core DM as well.
- Balancers These are the core DM's in charge of keeping the items balanced and providing patch updates.
As a balancer you are in charge of looking for and dealing with problematic items, races and other interactions and providing a patch for them.
- DM's
These are the DM's who are new to the system and are not in the core lineup for dming quests.
These are the extra DM's when all the slots in the system are already full. They help out by running sessions if a DM is sick or cannot DM. They also might run extra quests at the times they want to.
Equipment needed:
- Discord We will be using Discord to automate nearly everything and games will be run over Discord.
- Access to a mic We should be able to hear and understand you after all.
- Access to Roll20 This will likely be so you can look up specific players character sheets. However this may change as the project is developed
What you don't need:
- Maps
Maps are optional. They are not required.
- Music
Music is also optional. Not required.
- Your own lore or homebrew resources
We will have you covered here. But if you want to submit stuff to the Loremasters or Balancers for everyone's use in-game go ahead.
If your interested in helping out please let me know.
Thank you to everyone who wants to help out with the project. Feel free to ask questions in the comments.
(I am looking for around 35 more DMs and over 200 players)
Sure, as I said I need players and DM's as well as people to fill specific roles. You can message me on discord (Sparkletinkercat#5462) so I can note down your name and add you to the group once the final basic automation tweaks are ready.
I as well am interested in this idea. I'm still new but I've dabbled in both player and dm side of things but if that's alright with you I'm down to join.
This sounds pretty great. I'd love to be a part of it, both as player and as DM. The only caveat for me is that I have to step away from gaming from May-October due to work schedule conflicts (I manage a wedding center, and May-October is our peak season). Discord: Tmphaedrus#0581
This sounds like a really interesting and fun idea! I'm still fairly new, so I'd like to apply as a player but when I feel a little more comfortable I'd be interested in a DM role too. YuikaArt#2979
Sure, I am still discussing things with the balancers and loremasters but send me a msg on discord Sparkletinkercat#5462 and I will note you down for dming and playing

TMPhaedrus, your discord name didn't seem to work. Are you sure you typed it down correctly?
Also I would love to have you as both a player and a dm.
We will be inviting the dms to help out shortly
(Not sure if I have replied to this or nor yet)
But yep, the more the merrier. Just send me a msg on discord Sparkletinkercat#5462
Hi, I sent you a message on Discord. Super interested in your game!
Super interested, as a player at first and maybe DM eventually. I sent a friend request on discord.
