Experience: Years as player & DM. D&D editions and other systems
Location/Timezone: Adelaide, South Australia. ACST (UTC+9:30)
Availability: Saturday 1-4pm or 7-11pm, or Sunday 1-5pm are times I can commit to around work, family and training.
Preferred role: Player
Game style: character, narrative and roleplay. I can (happily) get tactical when it comes to combat, but story is king.
I’m coming out of a year of DMing Out of the Abyss with a challenging powergamer in the group and I’m pretty burned out. Looking to just be a player in a group, meet new people and rediscover the fun of the game.
I’m ideally looking for a mature and diverse 21+ group, with people who are fun, relaxed, willing to cooperate and respect the social contract of the game.
I like choice and story-rich games with plenty of meaningful RP (meaning: narrative conflict, drama, and action that drives the group’s story forward and/or develop character. Not meaning: ‘I spend 30 minutes acting out every word of haggling for rations at the town market’)
If you think I might be a good fit for your group, contact me on Discord: SpaceMonkey75#2393

Sydney player looking for a mature aged group in the Ryde district. LGBTQI+ friendly. Discord: TatsuyaSasu#5092
I am a semi-experienced DM looking for 4-6 players. I am based in Melbourne, Australia but since I am running the campaign online, people from all over the world are welcome to join.
The game we are running is a DnD 5e game, in a homebrew game setting/world. A world map is available for those who are interested, and I can answer all questions if you message me about joining.
Homebrew characters are welcomed, as long as it’s not game-breaking homebrew and I will check before hand.
We will be playing weekly (or fortnightly depending on player’s availability) and on weekends. I cannot run campaigns during the week most of the time.
There will be a session zero on the 14th of June if people need help with characters and if there’s enough people, might do a quick one-shot.
The first session starts on the 20th of June so you have more than a week to get your character sorted out.
If you are interested in joining, please let me know your experience. If you have played before, what is your favorite character you ever played and why?
Please message me on Discord as I’ve got notifications on. My username is cool beans#5722
You must be respectful and be willing to play with inexperienced players and players under the age of 18.
Group preferred: Open to in person groups within the Western Sydney area, or online. Have a good headset and camera! Experience: I have experience with playing RPGs (WoW, Divinity, Dragon Age) and watching Critical Role but have never played D&D myself. Location/Timezone: Sydney AEST Availability: Fridays and Weekends Preferred role: Player Game style: I love the idea of puzzles, battles, RP and exploring story driven worlds.
I'm a 30f with my 35m partner looking to find our first D&D group. We are based in Western Sydney but are very open to online games. Looking for mature or 18+ groups, would love to make a long campaign commitment. I'd like to reassure prospective DMs that while I haven't had the opportunity to play D&D before that I have done lots of research prior to making this post. I feel like I know a what makes a good player, but just as importantly- what things make a bad player, so I can commit to not falling in that trap. I'd like to play a rogue, safe in the shadows and looking for survival rather than spotlight or glory, and my partner would like to play a cleric, happiest to heal and protect his allies. My idea of a good character is one with meaningful flaws and with DM involvement to make sure they make sense within their world. I am a little shy at first but will put my full effort into this social endeavor, I am a quick learner and am very open to constructive advice.
dm since 1984, i'm looking for players like you, online. But Critical Role is raising the bar too high. If you're ready to settle for free and real, then contact me.
I have posted this before but I have one last spot to fill!
My name is David and I am a researcher at the University of Newcastle. The University is conducting some research on D&D and I am wondering if any Australian players would be interested in participating in a research project on Tabletop Roleplaying Games . At this stage I am just looking for one last person to chat to about there involvement with RPGs and am looking to conduct an interview either in person, or via Skype or Zoom etc. to find out all about it.
Eventually we plan to publish something that you can be involved with. Players can be of any level and experience just willing to give a little of their time to an interview.
I live in Sydney but happy to do online interviews to anywhere in Australia, so if yourself or any other players that you may now are interested in this project then let me know and I can send you some more information.
Thanks to everyone that has participated so far. Hope your gaming is picking up during this pandemic.
Game: D&D 5e Group preferred: Online Experience: A few games of 5E, and other RPG's Location/Timezone: Western Australia (+8) Availability: evenings to midnight - Monday, Tuesday, Thursday but flexible. Preferred role: Player Game style: RP and story first, combat second
Hey all,
I've played a few games of 5e, and have tried my hand at DM'ing, but I've always been let down by the poor availability of DM's and players and so I've never been able to get very far with a campaign or character.
I'm looking for preferably mature players who favour RP and story over combat, but I'm really flexible and am happy to adapt to fill whatever role is needed.
I'd prefer to play on weeknights, as it means other commitments won't conflict.
Really, I'm looking for a group that I can play with for the long haul, and experience a story/campaign to it's logical conclusion while developing a character over time.
Hey, coming from Newcastle, NSW. Looking to join a good group, online or IRL. I have plenty of experience and am hoping to join as a player. Really looking for a weekly weekend game.
PM if you know a group looking or are a group looking for another player.
I'd like to reassure you that I am definitely not looking for a "Critical Role-esque" kind of group (a lot because I can't stand the constant meta-gaming and superman/amazing-at-everything style of characters) but I listed it to try and show that I've spent time watching D&D and trying to pick up a lot of the basics so that I hopefully wouldn't throw off too much of the flow while trying to navigate through my first time. I have nothing but respect and gratitude to people who can boldly hold the cap of being a DM, it's a big enough task without feeling pressured to emulate Matt Mercer, that's certainly not an expectation I would ever have. I mean hey, I'm no Laura Bailey either lol
Game: D&D 5e Curse of Strahd, Wildemount or anything High Fantasy Group preferred: QLD Sunshine Coast or Brisbane Region or Online Experience: A few games of 5E Location/Timezone: Queensland GMT+10 Availability: Evenings to midnight - Wednesday to Saturday Preferred role: Player Game style: Heavy focus on Characters and story.
Greetings all. I live on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, I'm looking to either join or create one of those fabled groups you hear about who've been running the same weekly campaign for 10 years. I own all the material to run a Curse of Strahd, Wildemount and soon Auroboros campaign but I don't have a group to play them with. My ambition isn't quite as lofty as what Critical Roll have going on but I desperately would like to find a committed group who are in it for the long haul. I much prefer being a player, however if the right group came along I'd consider try my hand at being the DM. I'd like the group to be able to meet up in person (I can host at my place) however online seems just as viable an option these days.
A little about myself. I'm a 36 year old dude who loves just about anything nerdy I can stick my nose into, I enjoy playing with people who have different kinds of backgrounds and approaches to life. I love to have a good laugh and play around but I am looking for a more mature group this time around(Brown/Toilet humour isn't as funny as it once was when I was younger).

Leveling will only be done at a city/town/druid encampment/temple/wandering trainer

Rolling a 20 is ALWAYS A SUCCESS
Added a COMELINESS stat (RP only) to determine how attractive or ugly your character is (player can choose any number between 8-18)
You WILL BE CHALLENGED in combat (so expect a hard fight)
You are NOT HEROES YET...You are vulnerable...having to rely on your wits, ingenuity, and working together
MONSTERS ARE NOT SCALED TO FIT YOUR LEVEL...you will encounter things far deadlier than you.
