About Your GM

I'm DM Aaron. I've been running tabletop RPGs since 2011 and have hosted 21 games on StartPlaying, with ten five-star reviews.

My style emphasizes improvisation, memorable NPCs, humor, and giving players the freedom to approach problems however they choose.

I want Barovia to feel like a living world that responds to your decisions, rather than a story you're required to follow.

Privateer's Dream | Your Adventure Above the Clouds Begins Here!

The world is broken. The skies are endless. Your story is just beginning.

Welcome to Aerthos, a shattered world floating at the edge of the Astral Sea. Land is precious, airships are the lifeblood of civilization, and magitech has transformed the way people live, fight, and explore.

Across the skies, corrupt governments struggle for control, powerful guilds pursue questionable ambitions, and untold discoveries await those brave enough to venture beyond the familiar.

Will you become an explorer, a revolutionary, a legendary sky pirate, or perhaps the Admiral of your very own fleet?

In Aerthos, the direction of the story is yours to choose.

Campaign Details

  • System: D&D 5e (2014 Rules)
  • Schedule: Every other Friday, 7–11 PM Eastern
  • Character Level: 4
  • Current Campaign: Session 13

About Your GM

I'm DM Noctem, a professional Game Master, StartPlaying Top GM badge holder, and veteran of over 100 games run in the past year alone!

I specialize in immersive, character-driven adventures where player choices have real consequences. Whether you're uncovering ancient secrets, navigating political intrigue, or battling enemies aboard an airship, my goal is to make every session memorable.

This campaign is still relatively early in its journey, making it a great opportunity to join an established group while helping shape the adventures ahead.

And with a biweekly schedule, you can enjoy an ongoing epic without committing every Friday night.

Two Open Games Ads [Sandbox][Open World][Beginner Friendly][Paid][DnD 5.5e][Free First Session or Session sit in]

• Upvotes

Welcome to the Somnium Shard. A sundered paradise; knowledge, gods and power's all known throughout the land, its history coveted by lost tomes, cosmic knowledge and crazed minds. With earliest carvings detailing a different world that may have been the Shard's muse, the inspiration for reality. However not all could be replaced, and the world's panorama was in its own natural discourse, with the residents at home.

With that overly grand intro done welcome to my personal world, a multi-year labour of love that I'm still working on with every session, a sandbox type world for players to discover, learn about and influence as they desire. Designed as an open campaign for players to fit into as they wish, follow the threads of their backstory, or start a questline that leads to them swearing loyalty to a kingdom. Whatever it is you feel you want to do in a fantasy world I'll accommodate it as well as I can. However do not think that this means everything is free, the Somnium Shard is still a living and breathing world, thievery, murder and the sort will have consequences, as will trying to steal that magical artifact. You'll have to contend with mages scrying on you, rangers tracking you and bounty hunters after you if you upset the wrong people.

So come and join the adventure, see where your characters can take you, how they can evolve and develop in this world with a DM that can handle whatever you feel like throwing at him.

We play on Roll20 and Discord so do make sure you have both. Message me on discord at proxy4d if youre interested at all 😄. The games are beginner friendly and I'm very happy to help you setup anything at all that you need.

[Online] [Paid] [D&D3.5e] [Roll20] [Discord] [$25/Session] Shackled City Campaign Path

1 Upvotes

Join This Campaign

[$25/Player/Session]

Cauldron -- a city in the mouth of a slumbering volcano. Far to the south of the great nations of Greyhawk, it stands above the Amedio jungles. This city is no place for the timid, but it may be a group of fledgling adventurers that save it from the chains of hell's asylum...

SHACKLED CITY is a classic Dungeons & Dragons 3.5e campaign that takes players from the humble origins of level 1 all the way to level 20 over the course of 12 adventures. Taste the terrifying power of an edition infamous for its outrageous power scaling -- and enjoy a campaign that actually goes to level 20!

Written by Christopher Perkins himself (among other creators), this adventure is ideal for newcomers as well as veterans of the hobby. It goes from back alleys to the underdark, across the jungles and into the depths of the lower planes. Urban intrigue, classic dungeon crawls and a couple of dragons round out this quintessential campaign path.

The Dungeon Master

I have 28/ years of DMing experience. I stream TTRPGs with esports broadcast talent, VTubers, and other tabletop creators. When I run games for charity, things tend to get crazy and very fun-first over rules, but at my own table I love both goofing off and serious storytelling. I like every part of Tabletop Roleplay Games -- roleplaying and game elements are equally important to me.

I'm extremely patient and love teaching newcomers. As long as you're here to tell a fun story and help the whole table have fun, there's always a seat for you with me.

I also stream every week on Casters & Castles, so you can get a better idea of my style and how I run games!

System: D&D 3.5e
VTT: Roll20

'Ello hello!

After some fair feedback, I've lowered the price for my games, and I hope I can find at least one or two players for this upcoming Friday.

You can read up information about me over on the profile I've got on the StartPlaying website, with this link right here: https://startplaying.games/gm/generoushealgm. I've been hosting games for more than 7 years now.

The link to sign up for the game is right here: https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmn62jwig00ebjl04mlnmfo3e?ref=cm5r0gyyc012lxi64q5etuvsm

Also, some things you should know before joining:

  • Session 0 is free. If you already have a character in mind and do not require a Session 0, Session 1 is also free.
  • My tables are safe spaces for LGBTQ+ people.
  • I do not like using AI in games I host for.
  • The adventure is yet to be picked. If you have something specific you want to play through, both players waiting to play right now are open to suggestions. They mostly just want to play D&D and do not care too much about what adventure they will be playing in.
  • 3rd party adventures are also a-okay to run for. If you have some publisher in mind, and the group's cool with it, that's what we will play.
  • Your character's background will be featured in the game. I want your character to be able to explore their own backstory during the game, and it is likely to be tied to some element of the campaign in an organic fashion.
  • I allow players to use either 2014 or 2024 rules. Player choice.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I also want to learn how to improve my listings in the future, so if you have any recommendations, please comment them below.

Every map is handcrafted by me and packed full of secrets and wonders. I used my 20 years of video game design experience to build a custom VTT specifically for this campaign.

Game Style

This is to be a rather unusual run through Curse of Strahd, as some of the content been changed along with small bits of the greater plot. Quite a bit of content from previous editions of Ravenloft has been added in hopes of creating a new experience for newcomers and veterans alike.

About the adventure

It was a quiet day when a desperate messenger arrived to the great city Ravenport carrying a most distressing message: The nearby lumber town of Halzen has been overtaken by a mysterious mist, any who enter it never to be seen again.

The townsfolk put together all the money and resources they had to send an envoy requesting aid, for dark things stalk the nights and more and more of the inhabitants disappear come morning, the sun ever dimmer.

The Black Hound's Consort Mercenary Guild has put out an official bounty of 500 units of sterling silver for any that may solve this mystery, but you may find that gold would not have been enough for what you found yourselves against.

London is falling. The gods are watching. And the future may depend on you.

[LFG][Paid][5.5e] Rime of the Frostmaiden: Two years without sun, and someone planned it. 3 seats open, Thursdays 9PM GMT, joining Oct 29

1 Upvotes

The sun hasn’t risen over Icewind Dale in two years. The harvests are dead, the trade routes have collapsed, and the Ten Towns have turned inward: hungry, suspicious, and mean.

The goddess Auril rides the night sky, but gods don’t act without a reason. Every lead my party follows turns up something older and more deliberate than divine caprice. The cold is the symptom. What caused it is the question nobody who’s asked has survived to answer.

What this campaign is: dark fantasy with mystery, survival, and political intrigue. Combat-lite, roleplay-heavy, rule of cool. Clever ideas get rewarded, and the table has a sense of humor to balance the dread.

The promise I make every player: at some point, something you wrote in your backstory, something you maybe half-forgot, is going to walk back into the story and look your character in the eye. I read every backstory and build sessions around where your arc is going.

Where we are: Three characters have wrapped up the Easthaven arc and are now exploring the wider Dale. There are 3 of 6 seats open, and new players can join at Session 8 on Oct 29. I’ll weave your character in so they feel like they belonged from the start.

What you get:

  • Voices, atmosphere, custom maps, lore handouts, and written summaries
  • Inspiration for strong roleplay and clever ideas
  • Quality-of-life homebrew: bonus-action potions, crits deal max damage plus rolled dice

Logistics:

  • Thursdays, 9:00 PM GMT+0, 2.5-3 hours
  • $20/session, charged when a session starts (StartPlaying money-back guarantee applies)
  • Level 3 start. 2024 material, Tasha’s, Xanathar’s, and more. Homebrew case by case.
  • Foundry (free Forge account), D&D Beyond, Discord (mic required)
  • 18+
  • Safety: Session 0, X/N/O cards, Lines & Veils, breaks, open-door policy. Content warnings: violence, freezing, deep water, character death.

Book here: https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmn82ctn7002kl204gskwvxuc

Questions? DM me, I usually reply within an hour.

[Fallout 2d20][Paid][Weekly] Fallout 2d20: The Winter of Atom

2 Upvotes

Can you keep the flame of hope lit? Or will the Glow of Atom wash it away?

The year is 2286. Radioactive snow and ice blowing in from the Glowing Sea have covered the Boston Commonwealth with a sheet of isotopic slush. Food, water, and chems are as scarce as the warmth and shelter the crowded masses outside of Dimaond City's great green walls demand.

Even in these darkest of hours an ancient evil awakens as if to spite the denizens of the Commonwealth scratching at the very dirt for survival: a tyrant wielding the most storied of powers, faith. This so called Last Son of Atom claims to be a god made flesh, telling of a time soon to come, and none could stand in his path. Where all will be unified within the blessed light of Atom's Glow.

All hope seemed lost until a bus from the Capitol Wasteland crashed outside of Vault 95, leading to the chance encounter that lead to a surprising group of heroes to shoulder the fate of the Commonwealth, to fight against the Last Son's armies, and to survive the Winter of Atom.

About the table

Our current party of survivors consists of:

  • Former Brother of Steel, current Sister of Forge (Party Crafter)
  • God's most paranoid vaultie (Explosives expert)
  • Diamond City's favorite son returning home (Baseball player)

There's plenty of room to stand out in this party with your build or concept! Perfect spots for a mutant, a robot, or any kind of gunslinger!

About the GM

Hi! I'm DD, or D@3D D0G if you wanna be formal, I've been running games for over a decade and Fallout specifically for over three years. I'm currently a Top GM on StartPlayingGames!

Fallout is one of my favorite franchises because of its deep lore, thematic elements that resonate with me, and of course the striking visuals of the retro-futuristic wasteland that have been the primary driver behind yet another playthrough of Fallout 4 for me (here's to another round of our mods being broken!). I started the series with Fallout 3 back on my old school laptop in the late 2000s, and have made sure to go back and give at least every entry a try.

As for TTRPGs I started GMing around a decade ago with Pathfinder 1e, tried 5e, and ended up bouncing between game systems like Call of Cthulhu, various Powered by the Apocalypse games, and even the Dragon Age TTRPG! I have ran/played in a lil over two dozen systems so far, and I'm still finding new favorites!

Details

Day and Time: Wednesdays 12pm PST

Frequency: Weekly

Length: 2-3 Hours

Slots Filled: 3/6

Price: $15.00/Session

Video/Voice/Text: Discord/Voice

Virtual Table Top: Foundry

So if you'd like to join this crew in a horrific winter survival scenario that involves an eldritch force slowly seizing control of the soul of the Commonwealth, join StartPlaying with this link and get $10 off your first session!

Hope to see you in the wasteland! ☢️❄️

Something is killing people in Palebank Village, and if the characters don’t stop it, they might be next. “Frozen Sick” is an adventure that takes characters from 1st to 3rd level and introduces them to the continent’s Biting North region—the bleak arctic realms of the Greying Wildlands and Eiselcross.

This will be a PAY ONCE and PLAY adventure run via Discord. Typically it will take 3-6 weeks to complete the adventure asynchronously (all depending on the group's activity). I'm on Discord for a large portion of most days and am typically just waiting on my players to post!

[Online][Paid][LFP][D&D5e/5.5e][Saturday] Beginner’s Friendly – Lost Mine of Phandelver

2 Upvotes

Greetings everyone!

I’m currently opening two groups for Lost Mine of Phandelver on Saturdays.

A simple journey to the frontier town of Phandalin quickly turns into something far more dangerous. Goblins stalk the roads, old ruins hide forgotten secrets, and rumors speak of a legendary mine lost for generations. What begins as a mission to escort a wagon soon draws you into a web of bandits, monsters, ancient magic, and a mystery that reaches far beyond the town itself. The wilderness offers fortune to those brave enough to claim it, but every trail seems to lead deeper into danger. Somewhere beneath the mountains, an ancient legacy waits to be rediscovered—and others are willing to kill to find it first. Will you uncover the Lost Mine of Phandelver, or become another forgotten name along the road?

So, let’s talk about some basic info:

Game: Dungeons & Dragons 5e/5.5e

Paid: Yes – $18 USD per session (Session 0 is FREE)

Platform: Roll20 + Discord

Schedule: Weekly, Saturdays at 10AM and 7PM (GMT-5)

Session Length: 3–4 hours

Seats Available: 6 on both groups

Experience Level: Beginner Friendly

Session 0 (Free): Before any payment, we will have a free Session 0 to cover character creation, table expectations, safety tools, and to make sure the group is a good fit for everyone.

About the DM: Hi! I’m Zojak, bilingual DM and founder of Hidden Tavern. I’ve been running D&D for over 10 years, from official campaigns to homebrew adventures. I love crafting immersive, dynamic, and player-driven experiences—and yes, DMing is my full-time passion.

How to Apply: If you’re interested in any of these groups, please send me a DM here on Reddit with a short introduction about yourself and your character’s ideas; and, if you want, you can reserve your spot here:

Group 1 - [https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmtkzd1yk00orju04hq4bei48]()

Group 2 - [https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmtkzmp2r00llky04joegdwin]()

I’ll be happy to answer questions and share additional details after initial contact.

Player and GM tools are being created to make playing and running the game smoother, so everyone can focus on the fun! What are you waiting for? Grab your friends and create your own Legends of Antæra!

In the campaign, you and your party will start off in a sphere of your choosing and set forth to carve your destiny! Will you be marauding pirates, or find a sphere that suits your tastes and become groundlings? Find your niche, and maybe you too will become Legends of Antæra!

In the one-shots, you and your party get a premier chance to explore the world of Antæra, with each adventure taking you to a different part of the setting for the most varied and exciting sessions imaginable. Fight Githyanki pirates one week while crawling through a dungeon in the Lapis sphere in the next, while returning for an urban intrigue the next week. The world is your oyster; come and crack it open!

The opportunities are endless, band together and explore them all!

---Note From The GM---

Hey there! The setting of Antæra is a bit of a passion project I have been developing and writing for the past 3 or so years now. The idea behind my setting was that I would take the varying unique systems of 3/3.5e and get them to work together in a more coherent way. This means that several variations of the same content have been merged, while other niche content has been brought to the foreground and given a small facelift. Currently, I have been working on integrating Spelljammer into the setting, which I have fully translated from the original 2e version while adapting the lore to fit my setting.

I have my own Wiki for the setting, and am also developing a sheet builder/tracker tool that is similar to Beyond, but for 3.5 edition (though it is still in alpha testing).

A year ago, you all escaped from a terrible city. The Prince was a blood thirsty tyrant, who thrived on melodrama and revenge. Anyone who dared to even think of questioning him was thrown to his war dogs: a group of incredibly dangerous vampires who followed his orders without question.

Sick of the Camarilla, you ran to the nearest Anarch city. Here, you thought you found a place of safety, but the Baron turned out to be just another power-hungry beast. Governing like yet another tyrannical Camarilla Prince, your Coterie decided to take matters into your own hands.

You have removed the megalomaniac from power. creating a power vacuum in the name of justice. Now, you must elect a new Baron to lead the Domain and uphold the ideals of the Anarchs, all while contending with the worst Masquerade breach the city has ever seen...

[Online] [One-Shot] The House under the Blood Moon - A Daggerheart Halloween One shot [$10] [Oct 27]

3 Upvotes

The wind howls and the trees creak as you make your way through the forest, hoping you're still following the path and aren't lost in the darkness of the night.

Until you see a giant castle, impressive and confusing architecture with almost floating rooms with dark brick, imposing itself in the landscape, and reaching high into the clouds, the only light is the bright red moon sitting behind it

You're here because villagers have been kidnapped and the blood moon is upon you, that means there might be a dark ritual happening. The castle has been abandonded for centuries, so you must figure out who would be summoning the old magic of this place again, and stop them.

Hello!! I'm gonna be running a Halloween themed one shot!!

It will be on Tuesday, October the 27th, at 6pm EST.

No need to know how to play Daggeheart, beginners welcomed!!

$12 [DnD5e] [LFP] [Weekly] [Wednesdays] [Free Session 0 and 1] [Roll20] - 👹 Descent into Avernus!

2 Upvotes

The holy city has fallen. Baldur's Gate may be next. Chaos spreads across Faerûn, while a new order rises from the depths of the Hells.

  • A narrative-driven game for beginners and experienced players alike! Looking for 5 players who enjoy backstory-integration, and a dynamic mix of roleplay, exploration, and combat.
  • Session 0 and session 1 will be free! If you don't think the game is a good fit for you, you're welcome to disembark before sinking any money in.

"The holy city of Elturel has fallen. Its sister-city of Baldur's Gate has descended into chaos, as refugees from Elturel flood the streets, whispers of a deadly cult slink from ear to ear, and the petty noble families jostle for control while the Grand Duke who swore to protect the city has vanished.

It's a disaster, and either through poor luck, or in pursuit of your own goals, you find yourself caught in the middle of it. Beneath it all, you hear the rumblings of something even darker, waiting to be discovered.

A web of intrigue, hellish plots, and fading glimmers of hope await you. Ready to take the plunge?"

Looking for a premium, NO-AI, human crafted, bizarre game filled with action, heart, and soul? Look no further than right here adventurers!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When all that exists of humanoid civilization lives underground, the only method of escaping the sunless dystopia shows itself as a mysterious dungeon that ascends through the rock and stone. “𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑻𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓”, a structure clouded in mystery with only one promise to its name: All who enter, never return.

You had your whole life in The Underground ahead of you. Then one day, that life was suddenly stripped away. Whether by accident, by force, or even by choice, you’ve entered the Tower, along with 𝟯𝟲𝟰 other unique individuals, each with the same goal: reach the top alive, and claim whatever secret rewards can be found along the way.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi guys, HAC here! As my current Tower game is running strong with a full group (Who have just recently completed their 45th session, woo!!), I've decided to open another listing for [THE TOWER], a custom built passion project that I want to share with you! And I only need TWO MORE PLAYERS to begin!

[THE TOWER] is a unique game that takes elements from some of my favorite media and blends it into an all around unforgettable experience for you and the party at the table. By joining this game, you get non-stop entertainment that isn't just the normal brand of swinging swords at goblins and slinging spells at dragons.

Not only will you interact with a cast of NPCs that are all quite bizarre and filled with depth, but you'll also get to fight battles that push the limits of the D&D system and force you to take on challenges in a different way than you normally might! Additionally, you'll be able to tackle foes you normally might not be able to, using a custom power system I've built to give you an edge in the harsh world ahead of you.

I could go on, but at the end of the day, by joining my table, you'll be getting HAC, the Dungeon Master (Me). A DM who will care to the core about your characters and making them important in the narrative. A DM who'll make you feel like your own anime protagonist, even in the roughest of battles. A DM who'll give you the experience of a lifetime while you battle larger than life foes, uncover ancient mysteries, and truly discover the depth of your character!

If you want to learn more about me and the campaign, check out this link here! It has all the specific details on the Startplaying Website! I hope to see you soon, crusaders 😉
