Hey r/lfg,

I'm looking to fill 1-2 spots in Nothing Stays Buried, an ongoing biweekly D&D 2024 campaign starting at level 8. We have 2 confirmed players (3rd pending) and want to round out to 4-5 total.

The Campaign

Gothic-adjacent fantasy set in the Forgotten Realms (Border Kingdoms region). The campaign opens with the party as seasoned travelers converging at a remote village in a forgotten frontier. Things in the world don't stay buried for long. Themes include corruption, secrecy, old powers, and the consequences of forgotten history. Tone is slow-burn investigation and atmosphere with consequential combat, not constant action.

Logistics

• System: D&D 2024 (5.5e)
• Starting level: 8
• Cadence: Biweekly
• Schedule: Length will depend on how well the group likes the campaign, but will run every other Saturday. Starting 5/23/26 at 6pm CST
• Platform: D&D Beyond Maps + Discord voice
• Cost: Free. No fees, Patreon, or paid content gates
• Voice: Required (Discord voice chat); working microphone required
• Camera: Optional

Character Creation

• Standard species and class options; mixed-species parties expected
• Multiclassing and feats per 2024 rules
• HP: fixed values (max at level 1, average + Con mod thereafter)
• Starting magic items: 1 rare + 2 uncommon + 3 potions of healing + 500gp cash
• 3rd-party content allowed case-by-case; Grim Hollow (Ghostfire Gaming) pre-approved
• New to 2024 rules? Not a problem, I can help

About the DM

8+ years of tabletop experience as both player and DM. First time DMing this particular group, not my first time behind the screen.

Table Expectations

• Show up prepared and on time
• Heads up if you'll miss a session
• Respect each other and the table
• Content note: corruption, undead, old powers.
• What happens in session stays in session unless agreed otherwise

To Apply

Send me a DM with:

1. Your time zone and confirmed availability for the schedule above
2. Your D&D experience (years, systems, examples of campaigns played or run)
3. A brief character concept or two you're considering (rough is fine)
4. What you're looking for in a campaign and table
5. Anything you want to avoid

I'll respond to all applications within 2 days (depending on how many apply) and let you know either way. Thanks!

EDIT (May 9): This position has been filled. Thank you to everyone who responded — the volume was substantial and many of you sent thoughtful messages. I'll keep some portfolios for potential future projects with different aesthetic needs. Best of luck with your other inquiries.

Looking for a logo designer for Threshold & Tide, an indie publisher of cosmic horror tabletop RPG adventures. Need a brand identity that will appear across multiple products in 2026-2028.

What I'm looking for: A wordmark or wordmark + minimal symbol that conveys literary weird fiction sensibility — closer to a small literary press (Folio Society, Tartarus Press) than to fantasy or video game branding. Should work at multiple scales (favicon to book cover) and have a strong monochrome version.

Avoid: Heavy fantasy genre aesthetics, overt horror imagery (skulls, blood, distorted typography), trendy contemporary design that will date quickly.

Budget: $300 - $500, open to discussion based on scope

Timeline: Final files needed by June 20 for a July product launch.

Deliverables: Vector source, multiple PNG sizes, monochrome version, full commercial rights.

If interested, please share your portfolio (especially any publisher, book imprint, or literary brand identity work) and your typical rate for this scope. Happy to send full brief to candidates who feel like a good fit.
