Are you looking for a Long term Homebrew D&D Game? Are you a Hardcore D&D fan willing to commit to joining a group, a game, that will last for YEARS! I am an experienced DM who has run this Campaign before. It is character centric - so the game is based on and adapts to YOU, the player. The game changes depending on what YOU do. The decisions YOU make. The Alliances YOU create. The People YOU kill, or don't kill.
Are you ready to come to Samsara? Are you ready to discover the secrets it holds? Will you be the Savior of the beaten, the broken and the damned? Will you Join the forces looking to defile the land? Or will you simply do what you must to Survive? A wild mystery awaits those brave enough to tempt Danger at every turn!!
Quick Details:Game: MASSIVE Long Term Homebrew D&D 5e
I have run this Homebrew game before, successfully. Expected 100+ Game Nights. with room for expansion
Group type: Online (Zoom) - I pay for it, you just show up! Camera Required - I want to see smiling faces people! Well.... to be honest, I love the looks on people faces when I drop SHOCKERS!
I use an array of Visual Aides throughout the game to help enhance your immersion into the game
Discord is also used. I create a Discord forum for the game. Here we can discuss, share pictures related to the game, and I engage regularly to keep your mind on the game. I don't run a "community".... just a page for US!
Experience: I played D&D thru my childhood. It was my favorite past time. I wanted to play D&D again for so long, and it wasn't until a couple of gaming friends wanted to experience D&D, That I decided to create this World, this Game, this... Experience. And the experience was incredible. And now I have run this campaign as DM (and world builder), successfully, for years. I have played for years. I have had a group long term and am looking to do it again.
Timing: Saturday Night, 8PM EST - Every other Week - Approx. 3 hours per game night That being said, I understand everyone has a life - I do too. Occasionally games could be shifted to a Friday if it means everyone can show up, but I prefer the Saturday game.
We had a group of 5 and 2 just dropped Right before we started. First Full game night WILL be SOON.
Roles sought: Looking for 2 More Players (We have 3)
Experience will help, but I have run with and helped teach First Timers before.
What is more important to me is "Commitment". People who WANT to play D&D. People who LOVE D&D. People who will show up for Game Night!
I love this game, this is how I want to spend my free time. I think about this game endlessly. Constantly. I am always planning, scheming, and finding new ways to torment my players
Game is inclusive for all.
For more on recommended player/character info - Please see Below.
Game style: Homebrew. DEEP refined Lore. History. Religion. Over 500 named NPC's complete with backgrounds, and much much more!
This game is Role Play heavy. There is fighting of course, but I prefer to focus on Puzzles, Riddles, Clues, Mysteries, and a huge world to discover and survive.
It is best described as a Fantasy / Sci-Fi / Mystery / Thriller / Comedy / HORROR. If you aren't a Horror fan, this may not be for you.
This is an Adult game (not that way) but it uses many Adult tropes, language & themes, This is NOT a game for kids.
I am married & have a kid. I run a respectful game for all.
While romantic story lines could develop, these are generally player driven (not DM setups). I have dealt with these in the past, and they can be fun to... playout. Reminder - see the line above, I don't flirt - but understand how to roll with a game. Anytime it involves a NPC, it is kept respectful. I don't describe actions.... in any depth, I leave that to the dice to explain while keeping it classy. Any of these actions between players will also be policed to ensure everyone's comfort.
Samsara: The Realm of Samsara is expansive & dangerous. This Chaotic Neutral land is yours to explore & discover.
What dangers lurk in the shadows?
What dangers walk carefree, undaunted by what is around them?
What dangers will stare you straight in the Eye?
If I thought I could share more with spoiling the surprises that await you, I would. But, the whole point of the game is for you to Discover and Uncover the mysteries of this land.
The Game:
This is a LONG TERM Campaign that will carry on for years, both Real and in Game.
It is Role Play heavy.
While there is an overall story arc that your characters follow, the story is based on and around YOUR Characters. The game changes depending on your actions. Early in the campaign you (should!) realize that your lives are inherently intertwined with the happenings around you. The question is - Can you figure out HOW and WHY? And then what do you do with that information?
Regardless of the fact that I have run this game before - your game will be different. Unique. Fabricated Custom to suit who you are, and what you do.
Your choices shape the direction & goals of the game. Shape how NPC's view & interact with you.
Your Character:
Now for the important part - YOU the player. Who are you? Well... Who do you want to be? This is YOUR Story. How could you possibly figure out who to be with the limited knowledge you have of the land you will be adventuring into? Adventuring with? That's part of the fun.... I want to know WHO you WANT to be. Who YOU want to develop.
Have you had a character in mind, but they have never fit before?
Do you know who you want your character to BE, but not how they got there? Work it back, and let them GROW!
So... what do you get to know?:
Character Basics:
Your Character Starts at Level 1. Oh my god, Level 1??? Yes. Worry not - there is plenty of levelling as you travel...
You will Develop your character right form the start. See and experience them growing from a Noob to a Powerful High level beast capable of taking on the Gods!
Keep that in mind. Level 1 - Not some war hero, not a veteran of adventures abroad. You are probably not even that old....
You can be Any Race, any Class.
I recommend not human, but it can work....
Hoping for at least 1 Dwarf - as that will help the story. And the group probably wants a Healer... Just sayin' (WE NEED 2 MORE PEOPLE)
If you go more Exotic in race, you just have to be able to explain why they are no longer in their home land. Which you would have to do anyway...
You are Poor. no more than 5 Silver in your pocket.
Since you are poor, and (likely) far from home, you need work. And that is where the story begins, but... Where did YOU begin?
Why are you far form home? ARE you running FROM something, or TO something.
Why did you leave home?
What are the basics of your past?
Remember this is a game based out of a Horror genre. What darkness follows you. haunts you. Or what do you haunt? How did this come to be?
IS THIS GAME FOR YOU - IF YES - WHAT TO DO:
Firstly, If you have read this far, Thank you. Second - Respond to this post that you are sending me a DM. Third - DM me your character idea, with the following info:
Race
Class
Basic Background / idea of who you are.
Why are you at the Crossroads? (i.e. why are you on the road, what are you running from, etc...?) That one is important. This will help me tie you into the campaign. Remember - Dark pasts work well in horror games.
Anything else that you think will make you stand out and fit this story.
A picture of your character (if possible?) - Reminder - I use visual aids throughout the game.
What happens Next?:
I will evaluate the character ideas that come in to see who fits in this world.
If I have more questions about your character I will ask.
I will respond to those of you with character ideas who suit this campaign, including providing you with my Discord for communicating further.
Once I know what characters will be taking this adventure, I will start modifying the campaign to suit you. The ReWrite!
I will plan & schedule YOUR personal Prelude Episode - A Prelude you say? Like Before the Story? Yes!
I set up a night for us to have a private meeting to discuss your character. Like This coming weekend!
We will go thru your characters background to ensure you have enough there that you don't get tripped up during a game. I pepper you with questions about your character so I understand them and who they are better. Plus I will ADD a little something from Samara to help your character.... fit in
Then, you actually walk into the game and BEGIN! You have a meeting with Someone (a Sponsor) from Samsara - an play out a little intro. Each Sponsor is Hand picked for YOUR character.
Once I have completed the Preludes for ALL players, then we get together for NIGHT #1

Hi! I'm interested in joining the campaign and had a couple questions-sending a dm!
Hi this seems interesting, sending you character idea.
When you say "horror" can you define what kind a little better? There are some subgenres I cannot do but others that are fine.
