Hey all!

I'm looking to run a 4-5 player campaign set in a Slavic-inspired setting, starting with the very cool lvl 1-5 adventure Devil's Bridge by Yellow Madhouse. I have been delving in to Slavic mythology the last few years, and the people at YM have come up with a very cool setting filled with real-life inspired folklore, mythological beings and creatures and adventure hooks. This campaign will run the published adventure first, and if everything goes well and we get on well as a group, we can expand into a homebrewed campaign from lvl 5 and up.

This is my second attempt at running this campaign - the last one fell apart because of player attrition. More on that further down.

Here is a bit of text from the creators:

Inspired by Slavic folklore, [the adventure] is based around a real bridge in Bulgaria and the legends surrounding it. The adventure setting is a fusion of medieval Balkan and Bulgarian Renaissance culture. However, we have also tapped into the hidden treasures of Czech, Russian, Polish, Serbian, and Macedonian folklore, weaving them into this dark tale...

... Folktales hold a sense of truth, which is the wisdom of our ancestors passed down through stories to us, evolving with each generation. In these tales, our predecessors used magical archetypes and tropes to explore life, satisfy their existential angst, and search for meaning.

The game will be run exclusively with 5e2014 rules - we can talk about 2024 inclusions, but they will be rare. No homebrew – and certain races and classes might have restrictions, but we'll talk about that.

Sheets will be done in Beyond and I will be using Avrae for rolling and tracking and occasionally Owlbear Rodeo for maps and combat tracking.

I expect a minimum of one IC post per day. I will be removing anyone who doesn't continuously lives up to this criteria. I know it's harsh, but if you've been in a pbp campaign before, you know that it's unfortunately necessary. I commit to doing the same and will communicate it beforehand if circumstances mean I can't - I expect the same from players. Just be up front about it.

About me:

I'm 38 years old, he/him, and I've been playing 5e and 5.5e for 5-6 years now and have been both playing and DM'ing. I have DM'ed quite a few PbP campaigns now. My timezone is GMT+1 and I will be fairly active.

Thanks and happy gaming!

Hello!

I'm Yossarian, 37yo he/him and experienced Delta Green Handler.

I have one player for this game and we're looking for 2 or 3 more players who can be active and engaged with the story and tone. We're both in the GMT+1 time zone and would like to play with people who are active during our daytime. Newbies and veterans are welcome, I love teaching the system to new players. Buying into the tone, good RP and being active are the most important qualities I'm looking for here.

I'll be totally honest here and say that if I don't find the right players that I vibe with and that have schedules that match mine, the game will not happen. I know that's harsh, but I've found that so many games die off because the chemistry and style as well as fitting schedules aren't squared off.

For those of you that don't know Delta Green, it's a bleak and non-crunchy d100 system set in modern times. It's part of the Lovecraft Mythos and for my money, it's the best TTRPG within the mythos. You play secret, black ops government agency who attempt to fight and keep unnatural forces at bay, trying to hold onto your sanity and your private life while delving further and further into madness.

Cornerstone media and influences count True Detective (S1), X-Files, House of Leaves, Weapons (the movie), Sicario, The Outsider, The Thing...

I will share important resources for char creation if you don't have the Delta Green books.

We will be playing the fan-made scenario Tenebris Capra. From there, we'll see what happens. If the group gels and we're up for it, we can continue with a longer campaign adding more scenarios.

We will be using Discord and Tupperbox. Rolling will be done using Dice Maiden.
