We are looking to add 1 to 2 players to our ongoing campaign set in Reinhardt, a homebrew grimdark fantasy world steeped in dark folk magic, political intrigue, and the oppressive shadow of a dominant faith. We are ~50 sessions in and down to 3 players due to scheduling, aiming to bring our table back to a comfortable 4 to 5 players. We will be using roll20 for VTT and Discord for voice chat.
Campaign Setting & Current Situation (Session 50+) This is a true player-driven sandbox. There is no predetermined rail or rigid linear story, the plot evolves entirely based on character motivations, party decisions, and which threads you choose to pull.
The party currently operates out of Fainweald, the historic capital of Elmead, a province recently occupied by the Kargelt Empire following an expansionist war.
The Local Powder Keg: The Kargelt regime is trying to impose strict imperial order, while the Blackbirds, a violent, nationalistic insurgent group, wage a brutal guerrilla war against them.
The Shadow in the Mists: The party recently thwarted a major plot by The Maidens (an ancient coven of archhags tied to the region's dark folk magic), saving a misty lakeside township and freeing one of their ancient, imprisoned rivals. In doing so, the party has drawn the direct ire of these dangerous hags.
The party balances their reputation between imperial law, insurgent violence, and the shadow of the Maidens while pursuing their own personal goals.
Table Culture & Safety (Lines & Veils) Our group has been playing together for ~6 years. We are welcoming, relaxed, and joke around out-of-character, but in-game we maintain a serious tone. We take the world, stakes, and roleplay intentionally, so we are looking for players who match that immersion.
Hard Lines: While the campaign explores grimdark themes, folk horror, and dark magic, out-of-character bigotry of any kind (sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, hate speech, etc.) is strictly forbidden.
In-game safety tools (Lines & Veils) are used to ensure dark narrative elements stay focused on atmospheric horror and intrigue without making anyone uncomfortable at the table.
Current Party (Session 50+)
Human Valor Bard
Orc Abjuration Wizard
Dhampir Psi Warrior Fighter
What We’re Looking For
21+ preferred; comfortable with serious roleplay, grimdark themes, dark/folk magic elements, and high-stakes play.
Proactive Players: Since this is a sandbox, we want players who bring strong character motivations, personal goals, and a desire to initiate RP.
Reliable Tuesday night availability.
I can be reached here at D&D Beyond or at tobyzoey on Discord.
If interested, drop a message with your ttrpg experience, the kind of character drive or goals you like to play, and any questions about the setting or our group that you have for us!
