Campaign Name: Where We're Going

DM: Myself

System: D&D 5th Edition

Date/Time: Weekends at 4:30PM PST

Method of Play: D&D Beyond, Discord

Available Spots: 4-5

Preferred Player Experience: Any

Preferred Player Age: 17+

Description: you live in an age that is billions of years into a dark future of the universe, where resources are scarce and civilizations are far away from each other, where there is no law except what companies enforce to those below them, and joy is a concept that exists only in a dictionary or a pill. Pirates roam the stars, humanity has evolved into Myriad shapes and sizes across different planets in different galaxies (AKA why you can use different races) and you find yourselves as the couriers for a company execs mission to 'liberate' Critical information About arrival company from a mid Security Vault while it's being transferred to a high security space station.

How will you and your party come together? How will you navigate this new and dark world?

Expect an open world experience with a sizable portion of homebrew, where are your characters start significantly weaker than a traditional D&D character, and you have to build your own subclass.

This is intended to be a difficult campaign with lots of role play as well.

I'm kinda antisocial so I figured I'd see if anyone wants to play a some D and D but be very open minded because im weird and anxious. Lol

Nothing much to say I just miss playing the game and I'm not good enough as a dungeon master yet to start my owns to be honest. If anyone have advice or a group for me to join or wanna help me create let me know and thank you.

Does anyone know someone who owns any Palladium rpg books?

Hello chooms,

I've been looking at the Cyberpunk Red system for a while now, but never actually gotten a chance to play more than a few hours until now. I'm looking to start up a group of Edgerunners made up of newbies and vets alike.

The ideal schedule for me would be on a weekday besides Wednesday around 4. End time is flexible, probably in the 3-4 hours session length range (so ending at 7 or 8). I'm happy to host, I'm based in the Pearl district of downtown Portland near the waterfront. Thus far I have 1 or 2 players, one of which is in late HS so people must be comfortable with that.

As for the system itself, Cyberpunk Red is a D10 system for skill checks, and uses a few D6s for damage. It's a bit more deadly than D&D, so be prepared for consequences if you rush into a firefight head on. You play as a citizen of Night City; the city of the dark future. In 2045 the world is riddled with chrome augments, corpo power play, correupt governments, gang wars, and the like. As a merc, you have to find shelter, food, water, and a way to protect yourself. How do go about acquiring those things is up to you. This is a very interesting world and I highly recommend reading about it, should you want to join in this group or not.

As it stands I have a good grasp on the system, but I certainly have more to internalize. I'm happy to have other newbies to learn with, or an experienced CPRed player to help ground us.

I hope to hear from some of y'all soon!! : )

Sorry for all y'all out of staters, we're keeping it mostly local around here. There are plenty of other subreddits geared towards finding gaming groups! :)

I have had an idea for a while to get a group of people together that want to play D&D, and can additionally feel safe with the group to dress how they are otherwise unable to, due to the BS social norms of the Midwest. Does this exist, or is there anyone else seeking this?

Hey guys! I’m looking for a Dungeons and Dragons group in Vancouver/portland area that meets on Saturdays after 7pm. Anyone need a player? Played 5e for years several years ago, would just need quick reminders on how to get back into the swing of things 🙂I have my own books and dice 🎲
I’ve tried looking at the events pages on local gaming shops, but I’m only available Saturday nights after 7, and it looks like none start that late! 😞

Hey all. I’m in the Waterville area looking to get into a regular in-person game. I’ve been playing and DMing D&D for about 6 years, so I’m comfortable on either side of the screen. Happy to run something if a group needs a DM, and just as happy to be a player if a table needs one more.

I’ve got physical supplies too, so dice, books, minis, the usual. No problem hosting or bringing stuff along.

Mostly my experience is in 5e but I’ve been wanting to branch out, so if your group runs Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu, or anything else, I’m down to learn. Not picky about tone either, whether that’s heavy roleplay, combat focused, or somewhere in between.

If you’re in central Maine and have room at your table, or you’re trying to put a group together, send me a message. Thanks.

I already have another person in the area who wants to play as well, but we’re looking for a few more.

hey, 20nb in downtown portland. im a psu student (neuroscience major) and been wanting to find some irl friends that could meet together consistently for a game (probably monthly or twice a month). So im wanting to run some oneshots first to see if i click with people and if we can get a fun game running.

im very used to dnd but also looking to branch out into VtM (new d20 season got me lol). if you’re interested in joining my first time playing/running the system please let me know. but dnd oneshots will also be run if that is your preference.

requirements for my players:

be invested in the game, the world, and the story we are telling collaboratively. if you don’t care find a different group or communicate with me on what would get you invested. this includes not ghosting, if you aren’t interested anymore a simple text is greatly appreciated.

tell me what you are looking to get out of the game. a fun time with friends, a good story, a chance to play a specific character, etc. if you tell me i can better incorporate it.

no strong age or demographic requirements we’re here to play a game together. but def inform me first if you’re under 18

be kind. im not going to let a bad actor ruin a fun game

understand that im audhd and be accepting of that. if you are neurodivergent or get along with neurodivergent people then we will probably vibe. Also looking for nerdy friends in general my boardgames are not touched often enough for my liking

Hi all, my partner and I have been watching a lot of Dimension 20 and want to actually get into tabletop RPGs ourselves. We’re looking to hire someone experienced to tutor us: teach us the ropes, run some beginner sessions, and coach us on the roleplay side.

Where we’re at: we have mixed, mostly-rusty experience. Between us there’s some mechanical familiarity (BG3, Frosthaven, and one D&D campaign about ten years ago), but we’re both pretty new to the looser, character-driven roleplaying that makes those live-play shows fun. That second part of improv, character work, collaborative storytelling is really what we want to grow into.

What we’re hoping to find: a patient DM/tutor who’s open to a few paid sessions, ideally starting soon. We’re flexible on system and on format: could be at my place in NE Portland or somewhere public.

If this sounds like your thing, drop a comment or DM with a bit about your experience and your rate. Thanks!

Hi there, I'm a 31M "forever DM" and I've been meaning to find a local group since I moved to Beaverton this year.

I've actually gotten to play a number of times, but every single time the campaign fizzles out a few sessions in-- well before I've gotten to have any kind of full arc completed, or any satisfying character moments.

I was wondering if any other DMs have ever experienced this, and I got this idea for a "League of Forever DMs". Basically a we'd all take turns running short campaigns or oneshots, 4-5 sessions at a time. That way no one gets burnt out, we could try a ton of different styles of games and systems, and everyone would be invested since we all know how much work GMing takes.

If this sounds like fun, I'd be happy to take the first shift as DM-- I've run mostly 5e over the years, but Ive been running Daggerheart and PF2E recently and loving it. I have an ever growing selection of Minis and Terrain that Id be happy to share as well (assuming theyre well taken care of lol)

Group would need to be chill, LGBTQA+ friendly, and be responsible enough to not flake when their turn to GM comes up.

As the title states. We just moved into the area and my 11 year old son is very interested in playing with a regular or semi regular group. We are hoping to help him meet some people and establish a group of potential friends as the city is big and very new to him. Preferably in Eastside and if parent welcome a bonus. Thanks for any advice. I’ve seen all the drop in groups but I was hoping for a regular group to help establish some familiarity.

Hey folks! I am looking to get reacquainted with TTRPGs after awhile away from the game. I last played over 10 years ago and would love to start again. I prefer to basically start from scratch. I have seen a few folks holding new player one shots, but they seemed to be one off that I only find out about the day before, so hard to make time for when I can't plan ahead. Are there any regularly scheduled new player one shots you can recommend? I am keeping my eye out on local Meetup and Facebook groups, so I am sure I will find one eventually, but I welcome recommendations.

Bonus points if the DM/GM would be willing to teach a little DMing as it is something that greatly interests me as well. I love gaming and teaching folks how to play and holding events. I do something very similar for MTG currently and really enjoy it.

Any help is welcome and hope to see ya'll at the tabletop soon!

I’m 27F forever DM that just wants to play a character, I’m partial to 5e but I’ve played most TTRPGs at this point. I just want to do fun activities with chill people.
