This is the thread for players who are seeking games and posting what they'd want someone to run.

This is also the thread for GM's interested in running a particular RPG, and asking this community if they'd want to play in it.

Just a reminder that anyone can play in the The Netherworld Plane Campaign - Game Thread.

I intended it to be used not only for players to get into a game, but also as a place where players can socialize (chat) in-character. Non-adventuring characters can be created to bolster your adventuring characters by having the non-adventuring character craft items, or make money some other way. Here in this world you can run a store, run a guild, and etc.

I see this being like Pathfinder's Kingmaker except this will be more like Chronicler's Townmaker. So, make a character, and let me know what role you'd like to play. If you don't want to do anything but be a gambler in the inn, and take the other players money, go for it. Be a sleazy tramp for all I care, just be there!

I'd really like to see this get off the ground, and I know it can be pretty fun running an ad-lib/ad-hoc area, so as I said, make a character and let me see your creative side.

We are currently 1 GM and two players in my Skulls and Shackles game, and we are at a point were we can pick up players. So anyone who wants to join send me a request in private messages.

Hello, lovely individuals,

I would love the opportunity to join a game. I am relatively well-versed in 3.5, Pathfinder, and Starfinder. I do prefer Pathfinder, but I'm open to any system. I'm open to solo, small, or large-party games.

My writing tends to be character development-heavy and story-laden, but I always find a way to incorporate the contribution of my fellow posters into my post. I enjoy games where secondary skills come into play as much as combat ones do, where fighting is not always the answer, and where flavor and rules find a happy balance.

I enjoy playing martial characters without relying on their martial skill to have fun (if that makes any sense).

Please consider me for your next opening. Hope to game with you folks soon :)

Dear Firm Pin,

I read your sweet post with interest. Then I looked in a mirror. Alas, it seems your post was not meant for me.

Regardless, may you find one or more homes here.

Sincerely,

Hello Pin,

we recently lost a player to what we assume is the gharish beast called 'real life'. Perhaps you'd like to join a group of four (plus a couple of NPCs) and explore a dungeon with the goal to eventually get back to the surface ;)

It's DnD 3.5, interested?

@Zaineb that would be fantastic, and I would love to know more :)

Great, the group currently has a duskblade, druid, cleric and a bard. Tell us a bit about yourself, for how long have you enjoyed playing story-laden martial characters without relying on their martial skill?

Wow what a great question!

I've been writing (though I wouldn't have called it that) for about 18 years, roleplaying for about 15 years, and table-topping about 12 years. I'd say I've been instituting this particular idea for about seven years, when I've really discovered my passion for story.

To be honest, one of my characters from a game prior to this inspired me to write a book ("urban" fantasy drama). Maybe one day I'll actually finish it, but it's been fun :)

That's really cool, I started playing 34 years back table top of course, until we relocated 500kms from my ADnD group and I lost contact. Locally there were not groups that suited me and I was lucky to find a new home on Rpol. That was in 2001, I think, and I've enjoyed playing here ever since. Most likely because I do enjoy the story telling part, too :)

What's your favourite personality type you like to play? Brooding, light-hearted, happy-go-lucky never serious, boastful, flamboyant...?

I wish I was raised in an environment where tabletop gaming had been accessible and/or not demonized. When I was a kid I was informed that the game books had real spells in them that would summon the devil. Crazy stuff.

I definitely lean towards grittier, conflicted characters. When I write that I promise I'm not hiding a secret fascination with edge-lord characters, though I believe that even they have their place. Those that kill because they have to eat, those that have been doing dark deeds so long that they don't even see it as evil, those who care more about saving their own family then saving a village.

I also like to play the devil-may-care professional, who has a taste for finer things. They are either just as shallow as they seem, or are filled to the brim with problems hidden behind thin veils of paranoia and depression. I've even played a character that was blind with these issues, and they seemed to work relatively successful in a campaign I'd played for about twoish years before it fizzled out.

I've also really enjoyed playing very flamboyant characters, ones with egos too big to contain, and happily subject these individuals to the consequences of their actions. I've definitely played less of these types characters though; I've found that many players take their actions personally, though these actions have no effect on the story or other characters. I really do enjoy the character development opportunities, but not at the expense of other players' experience. Or my own.

Soon I'd like to play a Lawful Good character, and play them out in that alignment as strictly as I can in order to see the inevitable dilemma that comes with the pursuit of justice, order, and good.

More than anything, I create personalities and behaviors that will allow for three essential things:

1) Opportunity to create stories with other people; my character's personality and behavior should never prevent them from interacting with their companions. Even if they happen to be a lone wolf, they should be able to find an excuse, a reason to have extended interaction with others. Or what's the point?

2) Tension; I never want to play a character that doesn't have some sort of struggles that will constantly cause them hiccups. It's great!

3) Growth; while it's something difficult that I'm still mastering, and while it applies much differently in writing a book, I want everything the chracter does to advance the agenda of those around him, the story, or their personal growth.

Hey, All:

I've been playing around with the idea of running 5e for some friends, but have never run the system before (and only ever played about three sessions).  Are any of you interested in a mechanics-heavy test game, so that I can get a feel for it and get my 5e legs under me?

Hi Artifex,
I've played in a few 5e games but never really got the hang of it. I'd love to join and learn more about 5e, too.

Groovy.  If we can pick up two to four more players, I'll be ready to jump in and get this running.  If no more players jump in, I'd be amenable to DMing a solo game, if that works for you.

I am interested. I have tried to join 3 one shots on rpol to learn the basics of 5e but all of them stopped shortly after starting.

Exellent.  Both of you PM me some quick ideas for characters, or let me know what you're thinking of playing, if you please.  Hopefully we'll get another couple of players to jump in as well.

Darn. I wish I didn't have so many games going so I could join this. I too am learning 5e. I played it for 1st time at GenCon last year. I've hopefully found a live in-person game here on Guam that also wants to play 5e.

Like I said before, this is mostly to learn the mechanics.  I'm not opposed to turning it into a real game at some point, but I wanted to get a start on getting a better grasp on the internals of the system.

If you'd like to just throw a character together, I suspect that this won't add much burden to what you're already doing.

Ok, sure. If you want, I can throw together a rogue.

That sounds excellent.  Go ahead and make up the character and attach it to Group F.

In reply to Artifex (msg # 20):

Will do.

My character is done to the best of my abilty and ready for critique.

Aego Yr - Link back to this game

Any games looking for a player?

I've got an opening in my Starfinder game.  We're running through the Dead Suns adventure path, and we're just about done with the first book.  I've got a ysoki (rat-folk) operative (space rogue) that needs a player to finish up this section of the adventure.  If you want to switch to a different character after this scenario finishes up, that would be cool, or you could play the same character.

I've got an opening in my Pathfinder 1st Edition Rise of the Runelords game as well.  We just acquired a paladin, and then we lost the player.  All characters are back in town, so it would be easy to integrate a new one.

I’m Grit and Oktar so …. I’m enjoying those games!

In reply to Artifex (msg # 24):

I enjoy paladining!!!!

Hmm.  How am I going to find anything to rhyme with 'Sir Constantine Godalming'?

(Don't worry.  I will!)

With Sir Constantine Godalming
T'was so constantly alarming ...

Sir Constantine:

If you're interested, send me a private message.

So charming and disarming.....

With Sir Constantine Godalming,
so charming and disarming,
T'was constantly alarming.

Women blushed,
their boyfriends crushed,
....

Rogue (5) Pathfinder, actually

+1 Oradin
Pathfinder paladin (warrior of the holy light) 4th level
Oracle of life  1st level

I have openings for up to six new L1 Pathfinder characters.  They should be fairly generic characters, without a complicated background -  and with only one trait.

For various reasons, I am not going to tell you the settings in advance, but I will provide a list of campaign traits to choose from later.

PM me if you are interested.

However, please note that I will give priority to those players who do not currently have a game here, assuming they propose an acceptable character.

Things have moved on somewhat, and I can now offer Skull & Shackles as a game.  This is a Pathfinder-1 AP, where characters start at L1 and progress to about L16.  However, progress is slow and (on RPoL)  I have never managed to get more than about halfway through an AP  (or its earlier equivalents)

I will accept character's based on either the CRB or the APG (apart from Summoners or Vigilantes)  However, note that fire arms are classed as Rare in this adventure, and a full-on Gunslinger will be at a disadvantage.  No evil alignments.

Priority is still given to players without games, assuming they come up with an acceptable character submission.

For Clarity

No extra races were added in the APG.

Core Classes
• Barbarian
• Bard
• Cleric
• Druid
• Fighter
• Monk
• Paladin
• Ranger
• Rogue
• Sorcerer
• Wizard
Base Classes
• Alchemist
• Cavalier
• Gunslinger
• Inquisitor
• Oracle
• Witch
Bonus Class
• Magus

This game doesn't appeal to the players without games -  so now open to anyone who wants a game  :)

I now have three players, so the game is viable.  Still got room for a couple more ....

 I'd join, but I'm already playing the AP. Just took our first capture into Bloodcove. ^_^

Do you happen  to need?

Reshakazan,  have fun in Blood cove :P

Esmerelda, I sent you a PM.

I now have four player characters.  They need a 'face' -  so one last slot open.

 And since the game I was in just crashed and burned when we hit Bloodcove because no-one seemed quite sure what was going on, I would be up for that. If you're still looking?

Resh - I'll add you, and you can discuss group makeup with the others.

Game is  now full.

Hi everyone.  I'm new here & new to D&D 5th, but I've been playing and GMing games including D&D, since 1981, so I have a pretty good handle, I think, at least on the basics.

I am seeing an entry level game, any version, including pathfinder, etc., and I will make no attempt to disguise at my favorite setting, which is the old 2nd ed D&D 1995 'Birthright' release.

Now, while I'm geared up to play a blooded regent, I am also interested in GMing a short (for RPOL) and low level (lvl 1 start) and simple (Don't abuse my lack of knowledge with munchkin stuff) 5th ed. game, set in the world of birthright.  IDK if here is the best spot to discuss what kind of small party lv 1 adventure everyone wants to play in, but let's start a conversation.

First piece of conversation is how many people might be interested in new PCs, using the unblooded, non-regents, in Cerilia.

Second is do you prefer a 'tradational' Northern European setting, or other option of more 'desert/arabic' or 'siberian/russian'.  If you don't like one of those options, keep it to yourself.  Things you like only, please.

Third is what kind of game you might generally be interested in:  Loot, Explore, Delivery, ?  Again, broad categories, & things you like only.

That should be a good starting point.  No classes & etc. yet, please.  If you're familiar with Birthright, please say so!

Hello,
I would be glad to join you, I have vague familiarity with Birthright as I've got the 3.0 book on pdf and used it in the past when someone wanted to use those worldbuilding rules. I would enjoy making 5e or 3.5 or PF Birthright character and like all the settings, I currently am playing in a different desert campaign as well as a traditional fantasy campaign , if you decide to do something more Slavic that might be interesting. I like mystery, character development, loot, or quest best.

I hope you get started - thanks

I got no idea about Birthright beyond that it exist but i am itching for some arabian nights type of game so if you go that way color me interested.
