If you're looking for a character-driven experience in a welcoming space, The Nexus could be a great fit for you. We're a global, 18+ LGBTQAI+ friendly D&D community offering free daily 5e games on Discord, with both live sessions and Play-by-Post formats available.
While we don’t run traditional campaigns focused on pre-written character backstories, our format still allows for strong character growth and development over time. We use a Westmarch-style setup—but with a twist: each DM runs their own world and story arcs, so you can find settings that really click with the kind of character you want to explore. Many players stick with the same character across multiple connected one-shots, which naturally builds out rich narratives, bonds, and personal arcs as you go.
We use the 2014 5e ruleset with all official content, and characters start at level 3 with a 35 point buy. While we use an experience-based system rather than strict milestone leveling, the pace is steady, and there’s no level cap—making it perfect for long-term growth.
Your availability on Thursdays and Fridays 5–8 PM PST aligns well with when many of our sessions run, and we’re flexible with character tools—D&D Beyond is commonly used, and we’re happy to help you get everything set up.
If that sounds like your kind of adventure, check us out here. We’d love to have you join the chaos and the stories!

As the title suggests I'm looking for a campaign that would have character backstories involved and have the characters evolve and develop
I'm also looking for a Lgbtq+ campaign with the milestones level system I play on discord but am not against trying something else
I'm looking to play Thursdays and Fridays between 5 pm and 8 pm pst
I use a a few different tools to make characters but can stick to DND beyond or roll20 if necessary
Mostly I'm just looking for some fun adventures and shenanigans with some awesome character stories
If you have a champagne with some free space please reach out
