[Paid] [Online] [Central US, UTC-6] D&D 5e weekly campaigns on Foundry VTT | One Piece inspired homebrew + a new player table

Hi, I'm CtrlAltDefeat. I run paid online D&D 5e campaigns through StartPlaying. All of my tables are listed in this one thread, with one reply per game below. I edit those replies when seats or schedules change.

Game: D&D 5e
Group type: Online
Platforms: Foundry VTT (hosted on The Forge, free player account needed) and Discord for voice
Experience: All experience levels welcome. One table is built for brand new players.
Location/Time zone: US Central (CST, UTC-6). Times in each reply are listed in Central and UTC.
Schedule: Weekly 3 hour sessions. Tuesday, Friday and Sunday tables.
Roles sought: Players (seat counts are in each game reply)
Game style: Mix of combat and roleplay. Most tables are in my homebrew setting inspired by One Piece, played as a sandbox where the crew picks where to go next.

About me: I run every game on Foundry VTT and make my own Foundry modules, so maps, tokens and rules automation are ready before we play. Questions at the table are always fine.

Paid games: These are paid sessions, booked and paid through StartPlaying. The price is shown on each table's listing. Players need to be 18 or older (StartPlaying requirement).

Note on the setting: the One Piece tables are my own homebrew D&D 5e game inspired by the series. I don't own One Piece, and you don't need to know the series to play.

Learn Play D&D (Beginner Friendly, New Players)

This table is for people who have never played D&D, or tried it once and want to learn properly. Everyone makes their first character, or takes a premade one, and we learn the 2024 rules as we go through a short fantasy adventure with ruins, exploration and combat. It's a short campaign of roughly 5 to 8 sessions with a real ending, and you're expected to ask questions.
