A non-dungeon “generic” fantasy system

I’ve talked to my players recently and realized that DnD has some shortcomings. Namely, I don’t think it offers the “generic” archetypes presented in fantasy. Where’s the witch class? Where’s the summoner? Where’s the spirit-possessed oracle? Where’s the shapeshifter that’s not a Druid?
A lot of classes and features in DnD and other games are focused on the mechanics of dungeon delving. I want a game that feels like reading a typical fantasy book. This might be a vague request but if anyone can suggest an interesting fantasy rpg, please let me know. I’m open to games with urban or medieval setting, if that helps.

Getting hired as a newly graduated rad tech

Hello folks,

I just finished a radiation tech program in Ontario, Canada and have applied for multiple jobs without hearing back. I had several people looked at my resume. I even got a personal recommendation from my prof. I applied for OPG, McMaster, Kinetrics, AstraZeneca, CNL, etc. Still I have heard nothing back. I talked to my classmates and the previous cohort and it seems no one is getting hired either.

Is there any extra credentials I can do to improve my chances. Is this a moment where the industry is slow to hire? Or is the industry hesitant on taking on new techs in general?

[5e 2014][EST][online] attentive player looking for interesting world building

Hey y’all,

My name is Azn, I’m 27 year-old gay nerd who loves collaborating with others to tell an interesting story. After DMing for almost a year, I’m itching to be a player once again. If you’re looking for someone to be invested in YOUR homebrew world, you’ve found the right guy.

As a player, I’m attentive, always on time, and collaborate well with others. I also take notes of the lore and plot points to puzzle over on my own free time. As a player, I enjoy having emotionally charged interaction with other PCs and NPCs, treating everything as real as possible. Most of all, I seek to inhabit a unique homemade world with cool lore. I like the discovery/exploration aspect of DnD the most. Like an interactive novel, I get to be a character that can interact with the world and discover its wonders and secrets.

If you’re taking me, you’d be bring an infectious high energy personality on as a player and some nuanced, emotionally-compelling role playing when I’m in character. For characters, I gravitate toward morally grey heroes who feel jaded by the world yet can’t help but be bounded by their moral code.

As for ruling, I am okay with RAI or RAW or whatever variants you have. You’re the DM and as long as your ruling is consistent, I trust your approach to create a fun and challenging game for the player.

Bonus point, if you’re ever in need of time off, I’m more than happy to run a one shot for the group!

As for the practical matter of availability, I’m looking for a weekend game, either on Saturday or Sunday night EST, although I’m willing compromise on the timing if you have a really cool game. The only day I cannot do for sure would be Friday, as that is my own DND game.

Outside of DnD, I paint, bake cookies and box for fun. My favorite fantasy media include Mistborn, the Golden Compass and as of right now, Frieren and Witch Hat Atelier.

Steal a Dragon Egg from the Dwarf King [online][5e 2014][one-shot][Friday 8pm EST]

You and other mercenaries have been hired by a rebel group of dragonkins to exact anger against their oppressors. Tasked to steal an important artifact from the dwarf king, you’re to enter the depths of an active volcano, bypassing arcane sigil, angry elementals and highly trained guards to retrieve this prized, and potentially dangerous artifact.

Due to the deadly winter above, most races have retreated below ground and relinquished political power to the dwarfs, who know the underground like the palm of their hand. Life is fine for most, other than dragonkins, who believe that if only they have access to the egg and hatches it, the world will be made anew for them. Tensions are high between the races, and a rebellion is sure to erupt any moment now.

Playtest My Multi-planar Adventure [Online][One shots][5e 2014][Sunday 8 pm EST][Bi-weekly]

Inspired by the medias of Magic the Gathering, Cosmere, Pendragon and Planescape, I've created a series of strange worlds to be explored. In preparation for a campaign, I'd like to invite some players to experience them. The games are meant to be a series of self-contained one shots, each focusing on different pillars like exploration, roleplaying and combat.

The following is a quick summary of the worlds you'd be exploring:

  • Deraq: Total planar collapse caused fiends, celestial, elementals, feys, constructs and undead to cohabit a small decrepit, floating world as each thrives for power in this apocalyptic wasteland.
  • Fwaize: In a magical equivalent of Paris during the Napoleonic area, an enchanting tune lure the youth into senseless bloodshed, as bodies in the battlefield stir and return as undead.
  • Cortare: A sunless, ice-covered world, where two races vie for control of the planet's core and only source of warmth - a dragon's egg.
  • Prismalis: The recently-risen magetocracy is accused of tapping into eldritch power, unwilling to relinquish it in face of the progress they've achieved.
  • Shibashi: As the spiritually-enlightened vacated the world to nirvana, the rest languish in magical daydreams of a bygone eras. However, engine which sustains their illusion has its own agenda.

More about the world:

Other Details:

Time: 8PM EST, Sunday May 16th

Platforms: Discord, Owlbear Rodeo.

System: 5e 2014

Length: Minimum of five one-shots, 4 hours

Level: 6-8

Number of Players: 4

Safety Tool: X-card

To apply: please skim the google doc if you'd like, then DM me with some info about your self (preferred pronoun and age), as well why, if at all, you're interested in a multiplayer travel, If I feel like we're a match, I will contact you for a quick chat on VC.

About the DM: My name is Azn (he/him). I am a gay 27-year-old nerd with one year of DMing experience under my belt. I lean way more towards rule of cool and love making my players feel powerful yet challenged.
