Tyler

Gaming group

I’m running a pirate-themed campaign and we’ve got 3 players already, looking for 1–2 more to round out the crew. Expect high-seas adventure, questionable morals, naval combat, and plenty of roleplay. (although if you aren't quite comfortable with RP yet not to worry you can still join in!) New and experienced players welcome, main goal is to have fun and tell a good story together. If you like pirates, teamwork, and a bit of chaos, you’ll fit right in. Points to note: This Is my second Campaign DM'ing. I Plan to do a mixture of Theatre of the mind and Mini's and large scale structure especially within combat. Party Age range is between 20-30 although anyone above 18 can join. Feel free to send an email or contact me via discord @tyler_ofm

Jaimes

Seeking a gaming group

I'm a fan of D&D, though never had the chance to play. I've watched actual plays and other content on YouTube, and done a few solos with Chat GPT as the DM. It would be great for socialising and making friends as I'm quite shy.

Count of Monte Cristo

Everything. It’s a slow burn but in the best way possible. This is a well thought out revenge and all roads lead to the Count

teeply

Seeking a gaming group

Hi I’m Thomas and I’m a long time board gamer and I’m super excited by TTRPGs. I mostly enjoy story RPGs, OSRs, and traditional RPGs. I GM most (if not all) the time for my group. But I’ve not played that many TTRPGs as a PC. I’ve run games of Cyberpunk, Mothership, Slugblaster, Call of Cthulhu, and Heart The City Beneath. While as a PC, I’ve played Savage Worlds and Pathfinder. I really enjoyed playing. And I love putting games together to share in that enjoyment with others. I’m looking to play a story RPG if possible, something like Heart The City Beneath or maybe Mythic Bastionland. But I’m open to anything as enjoy pretty much all TTRPGs.
