Hi everyone!

I'm currently building my first major homebrew campaign (I have DM'd before, this one's just more homebrew than normal) - a passion project rooted in the 2014 5e rules, but with a totally reimagined character creation system and modern, monster-hunting vibe. Think Buffy, Supernatural, Charmed etc - just D&D, and am looking to figure out interest levels. 

The Setup of Characters

You’ll create your character using a custom but easy-to-follow framework:

• Lineage (replacing Race): Be a brooding vampire, a frankenstein-style creation, a demon-blooded outcast, or a were-creature still clinging to their humanity.
• Calling (replacing Class): Choose your supernatural role - Slayer, Witch, Occultist, Medium, Monster-Hunter, or something new.
• Origin (replacing Background): What was your life before your calling found you? Ex-cop, burned-out grad student, cult escapee, influencer turned medium - the vibe is yours to set.

Where I’m At

• The PHB-style 'Slayer Handbook' is almost done
• I'm still building the world – but I want to build it around your characters
• This will be a story-rich, roleplay-forward game where vibes, drama, and heart matter more than min-maxing

Logistics

• UK-based DM
• Looking to play fortnightly
• Weekday evenings or Sunday PMs
• Hoping to start in August (if I find the right group)

Who I’m Looking For

• Players who love narrative, character arcs, and a bit of angst with their fun
• People excited to help shape the world and story with me
• Folks who don’t mind that this is my first big homebrew world - rule lawyers need not apply
• 18+, due to darker themes (Ideally around [twenties])
• LGBTQ+ friendly only

I’ll likely have a quick 1-to-1 chat with folks just to check we vibe before locking anything in. No pressure - just making sure we all want the same kind of game!

V. Short Campaign Concept

Something is awakening beneath our world. With the Scooby gang missing, you might be all that stands between our world and the void.

If this sounds like your kind of thing, drop a comment or DM me!

Thanks!

Huge Buffy and Angel fan. Would love to hear more! Discord is gotjames

I could join, but would prefer Saturdays because I work Monday mornings at 7:00 am CST (yes I am American). Discord user name is miningviking. Got a blood hunter, an Illrigger, and the crooked moon races all lined up when ready.

hi,

your concept sounds awesome, would love to sink my teeth into it(pun intended ha)
I'm from Ireland so in the same TZ, would be free Thursday and Friday evenings. i also DM on a Sunday fortnightly so if the timing is right i could make that work also.

Hi,
Really love this new character creation system concept.
Huge fan of narrative storytelling and roleplay.
Love the themes too. Big into gothic horror, supernatural action-adventure.
I'm [in my twenties] and super flexible with scheduling. Just hit me up over Discord, habibi_hatty and let's chat!
