— HOOK —
You beat the odds, 1 in 3 don’t make it past infancy but more than that most born like you end up either mad or dead by their own hand. You were born with the ability to channel Magick that resides within you. This doesn’t mean you know much about magic, in reality you probably know very little. All you know is when it works it works. When it doesn’t? Even at a young age you’ve learned that the danger of failing to control this power outweighs even doing it.
You don’t know about the various wars France finds itself in. Or that their string of victories is thanks to the Late King Francis I’s decision to use Magick on the battlefield. You don’t know that the King’s Small Council runs France more than the actual King does. Nor do you really understand why you have been chosen by the King’s very own Court Sorcerer to serve as his apprentice.
But you’ve just arrived at his home with others around your age, assumedly just like you. Each of you are to serve him until he declares you stable and competent. Earn a seat at the Council and defend your county when summoned – in the meantime you’ll be serving the needs of the King’s Small Council as a Courtier.

— SETTING —
This game is Alternate History – the goal is to adhere and honor historical limitations but actions of the PCs can always change the course of the future. That and some things will be tweaked to make for a better story, after all this is a game at the end of the day.

The main setting will be the city of Paris, France in 1550 but surrounding cities and countryside may also be explored.

— GENRE / TONE / TROPES —
Magical Realism, Grimdark, Alternate History, Political Intrigue, Love, Identity, Coming of Age, War, Nationalism, Inevitable Tragedy, & Existentialism.

— About the GM —
I’m in my late 20s, He/Him. I’m a long time GM with experience as a GM and as a Player in both combat & role play heavy systems. Systems like Burning Wheel, DnD 2e/3.5e/5e, WODv5/v20, Mutants & Masterminds – to share a few.

— What I’m Looking For —
I am looking for Players who are interested in Role Play, that can self motivate in session. Who don’t rely on other Players to move the narrative but also a collaborative team player. I want players over 21 who have strong media literacy & understand that people (NPCs) are complicated and neither good or bad. It’s okay to get frustrated when things go wrong but I am looking for Players that understand that their actions have consequences. That failure might happen more than successes. I want Players who can go whole sessions without rolling if need be, who can rely on their Role Play skills. Most of all I want Players who want to see their PCs be faced with challenges and grow, to create a PCs that they enjoy playing. I understand that this falls on me too, to create a dynamic and challenging world that blends your PCs backstory and challenge their ambitions.

— SYSTEM —
This is mostly a custom system. Its Foundation is primarily White Wolf’s Storyteller System, where D10s are used to resolve conflicts. The use of their Nine Attributes and Twenty One Key Character Traits. Abilities, Health, Willpower, and optional Advantages & Flaws. Experience will be given at the end of each session, with ways to earn additional points – these points can be spent to level up Abilities, Attributes, and even to purchase more Advantages.
There are other systems that also influenced additional content in this ‘system’ including; Burning Wheel & Pendragon.

Don’t worry though! If you’re a good fit you’ll be invited to the Discord that has all the information you should need in order to make a character & play the game. Even some lore documents if you’re that kind of person.

Session Time: Thursday 6PM EST on August 27th.

Character Creation: Pregens are available, but if you wish to make your own PC, I own the Corebook, wanderers Guidebook, and Settlers Guidebook.

Situation: Password is Twister. War, War never changes. The Great Plains of America were home to some of the countries most beautiful land, and also home to the lands most dangerous of Disasters, twisters, but no matter how much they destroyed, humanity prevailed, but on the morning of October 23rd 2077, humanity was faced with destruction far beyond any natural disaster, and two hundred years later, humanity is entering an age of rebirth across the continental US. Shantytowns became proper towns dotting the landscape, and thus Eden, a town born from the remains of Lucas, Kansas, became the new bustling town of the Great Plains Wasteland. However, War, War never changes. Edens' prosperity grew the ire of those who've gone far beyond the point of no return, a group of Raiders called the Stormchasers. They ride into towns hit by radioactive twisters and plunder what remains, for Eden their presence meant one thing, disaster was coming so they sent a runner to a large town known as Lawrence in search of mercenaries. When it did, Eden was left in shambles, barely able to fight off one wave of the Stormchasers. It was then that their runner returned with you in tow. Are you too late? Or are you just in time? Has the fate of the town been changed for the better? Or for the worse? Because War. War never changes.

Novice Judge running DCC published modules at a Pensacola, FL residence.  From beginners to old grognards, all are welcome (Must be 18+).  Every Thursday from 7-10pm.  Very easy game to pick up.  I have all the materials needed.

Nice quiet neighborhood.  It’s a “bring your own snacks” kind of affair.  Fridge space is limited.  Hoping to land a table of 3-5 semi-regulars, but well aware that life stuff happens. 

Feel free to message through here (Reddit) for any additional information.  It’s hot as heck outside, so why not spend a few hours in the cool air rolling dice and fighting monsters?   It’s surprisingly therapeutic! 

Sessions starting Thursday August 27^(th)****.

Hello! I am looking for some players for the ttrpg Mythic Bastionland. I've had some people who dropped out early into the campaign due to scheduling so I'm looking to fill some seats. It is a rules light modern OSR game that is heavy with flavor and atmosphere. New players are definitely welcome.

You play a company of strange Knight Errants anointed by a cast of omniscient Seers, seeking Myths throughout the land to gain glory and prestige, and chasing the ever fleeting visions of the City, a Myth that plagues the dreams of every Knight that swears the Oath.

If I have to describe the tone of the game, it's like surreal reimaginings of European folklore. If you have watched the movie "The Green Knight", it's a great example of what the game is going for. Here is a link to the map I drew for our campaign, hopefully it looks like a world worth exploring!

As a GM, this is my first long term campaign, but I have had experience running one to threeshots of various systems. Some of the favorite ones I've had the pleasure of playing are Blades in the Dark, Mothership, and Masks. As a GM, I think I'd like to create a world that  focuses on player agency, like there is always a reaction to a character's wants or needs, that the environment buckles and shifts to the choices a player makes. All in all, I think I’d just like to create a memorable story with some like minded people. In Mythic Bastionland, so far I feel like roleplay takes the forefront. Combat has been fast paced, dramatic and snappy. If this sounds like your cup of tea and you are available during the time slot above, shoot me a DM!

For years I've been a huge Buffy fan and now, after marrying an even bigger fan, I think it would be fun to run a Buffy RPG. This is planned to be a oneshot adventure, which is to say that it's going to be finished in a single session. It's meant to be suitable for people who have never played a tabletop RPG before so everyone is welcome. 

A little while ago, I did a test run of the Eden Studios Buffy RPG and unfortunately, the system wasn't that great. At least, not for me. So instead, I figured, why not run this story with another system? That quickly brought me back to the Chronicles of Darkness system that I regularly run and which has proven itself to be pretty adaptable. 

The story is set in the Buffy TV universe, but not in Sunnydale and not involving the characters from the show. It's set a few years before the show takes place and is set in Shadyhill, Pennsylvania. For characters, there are several archetypes available. There is no issue with multiple people picking the same one but I do have a single request. The characters do need names after all, so it would be great if you could come up with one. All characters will also have a single benefit from the list below. That’s a small thing that makes them stand out a little more, like having a car or basic medical training. Of course, I’m also open to suggestions.

The plan is to play through Discord. I made a server there where we can do dice rolls and voice chat. If you don't have Discord, you can make an account and download it here. We will play on August 15, at 7 PM CET, which is 1 PM EST. 

For those who haven't played a tabletop roleplaying game before, the concept is really simple. The players take on the role of a character in the game. They decide what this character does and dice rolls decide if it's successful. The Game Master (in this case that's me) decides what dice should be rolled and plays all the other characters and determines what happens in the world. When rolling dice, we use an online dice roller that will roll a number of ten-sided dice. That number is determined by your character's abilities. All dice that come up as an 8 or higher are a success. Often, one success will do but for harder tasks, you'll need multiple. Of course, it will be explained in greater detail in the game. 

Archetypes:

Sports Jock

Queen Bee

Juvenile Delinquent

Regular Geek/Bookworm

Theatre Kid

Stoner

Benefits:

Has a car

Medical internship

Keys to the library

Police connection

Rich parents

Paranormal interest

Intro:

Into every generation a slayer is born. One of them was Stacy. A few months ago, she was a regular girl in Shadyhill High, not someone who really stood out. But then, she was called. To most people, that meant that she became weird. She barely came to school but showed up in all sorts of places at night. That, and people saw her hanging out in cemeteries a lot. The general conclusion was that she was doing drugs. And now she's dead. She was found in the mall. 

Your characters knew the stories, but they also knew another side of her. All of them have been saved by Stacy. Perhaps it was from a creepy guy with oversized teeth or from a fish-faced girl who threatened to drag them off for a very long swim in the ocean. Whatever happened, they know that Stacy was a hero.
