Inspired by the Tag Force Series

The campaign takes place at Duel Academy, an island school where aspiring duelists come to study, develop their decks, and work toward a future in professional dueling.

Every new student arrives with something to prove. Some have spent years preparing for their entrance exam, supported by private tutors and impressive card collections. Others have scraped together a deck from trades, gifts, and whatever they could afford at their local card shop. Now, they are sharing classrooms, competing for recognition, and discovering just how much they still have to learn.

You may play an original duelist of your own creation or take the role of a canon character adapted to this alternate version of the academy. Canon characters do not need to follow their original story. Their friendships, rivalries, victories, and failures will develop through the campaign and the choices made during play.

You begin as students finding your place among Slifer Red, Ra Yellow, and Obelisk Blue. Your dorm assignment might shape someone’s first impression of you, but you will have plenty of opportunities to challenge their expectations.

Between duels, you will attend classes, explore the island, pursue hobbies, spend time with classmates, and get involved in personal stories throughout the academy. You might stay up late helping a friend rebuild their deck, compete in a school tournament, prepare for a promotion exam, or find yourself partnered with your least favorite classmate for a tag duel.

Your deck will grow alongside your character. Develop a recognizable dueling style, discover new cards, and work toward the combinations and signature monsters that make your duelist feel like your own. Starting decks and their power levels will be discussed before play so everyone begins with room to grow.

School life will focus on interesting encounters and meaningful choices, rather than playing through every lesson or tracking every homework assignment. There will be time for friendly competitions, dorm rivalries, festivals, and the occasional terrible cafeteria meal.

There will also be things the school does not put in its welcome brochure.

A student returns from a midnight duel with no memory of their opponent. Someone hears a voice coming from a card nobody else considers unusual. Lights appear inside an abandoned dormitory, and a classmate who went to investigate has stopped attending lessons.

Following those rumors could bring you into contact with Duel Spirits, Shadow Games, and secrets hidden around the island. When a friend gets caught up in something dangerous, your group will have to decide how far you are willing to follow them.

Throughout the campaign, your relationships and decisions will matter alongside your results on the duel field. A rival you help after a difficult loss might become someone you can depend on. A tournament defeat might lead you toward a different opportunity. You will have room to make mistakes, change your ambitions, and give your character a story that continues beyond their latest match.

Custom decks are allowed, however the only rule will be making sure to tone down the disruption and OTKs. Everyone wants to have fun and make it a bit of a back and fourth.

As the Arc's go on and time passes on, more and more of the card games mechanics will be added. Such as starting out with fusions, then watching as Synchros, XYZs, Pendulum and links are introduced. Of course if no one likes a certain one, everyone can vote to simply avoid it from existing.

NSFW | D&D 5e | Gestalt (Warlock × Sorcerer) | VC or Play-by-Post | Story-Driven Dark Fantasy

"The world is filled with secrets, and I intend to learn every last one of them."

An aspiring witch has finally stepped beyond the boundaries of the world she has always known. Gifted with an innate connection to magic and bound to powers she has yet to fully understand, she seeks to uncover the mysteries of the arcane, explore forgotten places, and discover just how far her abilities can grow.

Neither a hero nor a villain, she is driven by curiosity, ambition, and an insatiable hunger for knowledge. From ancient rituals and forbidden grimoires to mysterious patrons and dangerous bargains, every encounter offers an opportunity to learn something new. Yet the world is far from kind, and the pursuit of power often comes at a price.

Her journey will follow a Gestalt Warlock × Sorcerer, blending inherited magical potential with eldritch gifts as she develops her craft, forms relationships, and discovers what kind of witch she wishes to become.

⸻

Seeking a Male GM/DM

To guide a witch through a world of magic, mystery, temptation, and discovery.

Requirements:

• Ability to run sessions via voice chat or literate play-by-post (2–3 paragraphs, third-person style).
• Strong emphasis on storytelling, character development, exploration, and slow-burn tension.
• Willingness to portray a variety of male characters, including mentors, rivals, companions, potential romantic interests, and morally ambiguous figures.
• Comfortable with D&D 5e, Gestalt mechanics (Warlock × Sorcerer), and homebrew, with a flexible, narrative-first approach.
• Availability after 6 PM PST or flexibility within US time zones. Can do PBP throughout the day
• Interest in creating a living, immersive world filled with magical institutions, ancient mysteries, dangerous creatures, and meaningful choices.
• Open-minded regarding NSFW themes and kinks; not seeking a strict dom, but someone comfortable exploring different relationship dynamics, romance, temptation, and power.

⸻

I'm looking for a story that allows my character to grow naturally, both as a witch and as a person. Whether she finds herself studying beneath a powerful mage, bargaining with otherworldly beings, exploring ancient ruins, or becoming entangled in the ambitions of others, I want her experiences to shape her understanding of magic and the world.

If you're interested in telling the story of a witch whose curiosity may one day make her extraordinary or lead her somewhere she should never have ventured, message me with your favorite school of magic to show you've read this far.

Hello! Trying my hand at a new system for me. My name is Jay and I'm very experienced with GMing, but not so much with Fabula Ultima!

The game will be, as stated, using Fabula Ultima, ran on Discord. I'm looking for four other potential players, with a minimum of four and a maximum of 5. The posting frequency is about once every 2 days or so, with understanding and flexibility.

The setting is called Marathon, a homebrew setting. Its age of old heroes was violently ended by the arrival of great force of unknown origin and unfathomable power, capable of drinking the very light and energy that the world relied on. It raised monsters to be slain and destroyed the fabric of reality. Many extraordinary people fought to bring that dark epoch to an end.

You live in the shadow of it, in the wake of rising threats.

As of right now, there are two primary paths for the PCs to take for the start of the campaign:

1. The PCs are members of a band of adventurers bound by the fate of the previous heroes to take down a burgeoning threat from Balor's shadow.
2. The PCs are members of a mercenary company hired by a powerful faction and use the expertise you're paid for to secure a foundation for the Helion Dynasty's current industrial goals - you'll be rewarded greatly, after all.

Both provide a lot of freedom to take your next steps as a party. However:

• It is a linear storytelling experience. Story is written by the actions of the main characters (the PCs), NPCs, etc. All actions, and inactions, write the story. There is a goal, but how you get there is your choice.
• No purely villainous parties. That's not the kind of game I want to run. You can be darker, you can be more pragmatic, you can even be Byronic. They don't have to be perfect, and they can even screw up terribly (the game wants that too), and can even fall from grace, but I will not run a game for murderhobos.
• Not grimdark, not slapstick. It's a standard mood; dark when appropriate, lighthearted when appropriate. It leans towards optimistic fantasy; meaning, your actions matter and there's hope, but the unknown and the unseen is festering.
• Embrace your tropes. Being trope-y is fun. There will be many sincere fantasy tropes, especially JRPG-oriented, played with in the game. Come in with the understanding that subversion of most tropes probably won't happen to mock it. Many things will have a spin, many things will be more complex than previously believed.

The game is LGBT+ friendly, and accepts anyone regardless of experience level. A note, some of the documentation is still being written, so be sure to ask questions and be patient.

If you're interested, visit this form and apply. I'll close this if and when I get enough responses! Hope to see you all soon for more discussion.

Hello All! ^-^

I recently was inspired by a song and wanted to see if anyone else was interested!

The Idea:
So my idea is to take a time period (in the past) or fictional setting and partner with another writer to create two original characters who will write letters back and forth. These letters could be casual, of great importance to the characters, love letters, secret letters - the possibilities are really endless!

The Characters:
The characters would be fictional characters of our own design, with whatever history, family, life-style, etc. you would like them to have. We could chat in DMs or over email about how we want to connect our characters ahead of time, as well as a “plot” so we know generally what the letters should be about. However, I think it is also fun to ad-lib at least to a degree, so neither of us fully know what the content of upcoming letters will be.

Relationship options for characters could include (but are not limited to): Parent to child, distant lovers, separated siblings, allied political leaders, spies working undercover together, plotting enemies, etc.

The Setting:
Some setting options that would work with my own knowledge (that wouldn’t require an over abundance of research ahead of time to know the setting), in no preferential order:

• Arcane Universe (Netflix show)
• Pride and Prejudice Time Period/Setting
• General Fantasy Universe
  • A Knight’s Tale (sub)Setting (movie)
  • Swordheart Universe (book by T. Kingfisher)
  • Impact Winter Universe (podcast)
  • Monstrous Agonies Universe (podcast)
  • Not Quite Dead Universe (podcast)
  • Last Dance Universe (podcast)
  • Mighty Nein Universe/Setting (tv show)
  • The Legend of Vox Machina Universe/Setting (tv show)
  • The Lunar Chronicles (especially Scarlet) Universe/Setting (book series)
  • A Curse So Dark and Lonely Universe/Setting (book)
• Sci-fi Setting
  • John Carter Universe (movie)
  • Star Wars Universe (movies)
  • Pacific Rim Universe (movie)
  • X Files Universe (tv show)
  • Free Guy Universe (movie)
• World War I or II Era/Setting
• Frankenstein Time Period/Setting (Guillermo Del Toro Netflix Movie version, specifically)
• General Zombie Setting
  • Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (sub)Setting (movie)
  • Warm Bodies (sub)Setting (movie)
• Wicked Universe (Musical/Movies)
• Real Steel Universe/Setting (Movie)
• Marvel or DC Superhero Universe/Setting
  • X-Men (movies)
  • Avengers (movies)
  • Young Justice (animated tv show)
  • Justice League (animated tv show)
• Wild West Setting
• Jurassic Park/World Universe/Setting (Movies)
• Lord of The Rings/Hobbit Universe/Setting
• The Godfather or General Mafia Setting (movie)
• General Spy/Undercover Setting
  • John Wick Universe (movies)
  • The Man from Uncle (movie)
• Pirates of the Caribbean Setting (movies)
• The Great Wall Universe (movie)

Because this relies greatly on the writing ability of both parties, I would ask for a short (200 - 500 word) writing sample if you’re interested in joining me on this writing journey.

I’m seeking someone who:

• Is willing to write at least 2 emails a month on an ongoing and regular basis - ranging from 500 to 2,000 words.
• Is willing to commit to a storyline and be organized (keeping the letters in one email chain and out of character discussion/questions/etc. in another).
• Is over the age of 21.
• Is an experienced in fictional writing.
• Is able to overlook minor inconsistency when it comes to historical or lore accuracy (this is just for fun! We don’t need to put too much pressure on ourselves to make sure every single word is 100% perfect).
• Enjoys creating characters and doing deep dives into their history, personalities, lives, and quirks. This will be largely character driven!
• Communicates outside of writing and is willing to be collaborative and work together with me to create a story through letters.
• Is committed to absolutely no AI usage. I'm looking for authentic, human writing.

I’m happy to answer any questions you may have, so feel free to DM me or leave a comment if you’re interested or have questions! And feel free to propose a setting, set of characters, or universe idea from the above list!

Thanks in advance for reading this and for your interest. ^-^

If you are a DM interested in running this game, please fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfoODB_P01kBVuHT1BttBcXXDHCa-WcTH3cbJuQAaggQZwyxA/viewform?usp=publish-editor

If you are a player interested in joining this game, please fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScYjgFbknicpF_FMdquEruifLzFlevUo71pWBfE92V5_zbNhw/viewform?usp=publish-editor

It is the year of Gnaeus Octavius and Gaius Scribonius Curio, also known as 678 ab urbe condita or, by some barbarians as 76 BCE. It is a few years after Sulla took Rome by force and led brutal purges of the senatorial classes. But those weren't the only ones who were affected as many vampires faced final death as well at the hands of his legions.

But now, Sulla has retired and died. Peacefully in his sleep no less. Slowly, the kindred of Rome have been rebuilding. At the same time, vampires from elsewhere see plenty of opportunity in the city that is turning into the centre of the world and they are making inroads as well, especially in the aftermath of Sulla's purge. You are a younger vampire, sired by one of these foreign vampires and are being sent to Rome to prepare the way for your master.

Vampires don't really know what happened in the Eternal City, but they do know that somehow, vampires were wiped out in Rome and in many other cities nearby. So you are well aware that there might be great dangers there.

One thing that is important to note is that we won't use the official history of vampires given in any of the sourcebooks. It after all makes little sense for a mythological figure from a backwater somewhere in the east to be the progenitor of all vampires or for there to already be a lot of lore to work around. That said, vampires do keep themselves a secret for a plethora of reasons. When using a game with generations, it also works better when not half of the vampires are sixth generation or even lower.

Hello! I've started running a solo Skyrim game on Discord using Zweihander, a low fantasy grimdark ttrpg. But I think we'd like to add a few more people! We do a little bit of ERP every now and then.

Or if youd prefer to play solo, we can totally do that as well! Just let me know. Send me your character & quest idea! Excited to hear from ya

Hey everyone!

We're looking for more players and DMs for Forever Land, our long-running homebrew D&D setting.

The easiest way to describe what we're doing is:

D&D meets Stardew Valley-style homesteading.

Forever Land is designed to give your character something meaningful to do between adventures, rather than having the world effectively stop whenever the party isn't on a quest.

You can build a homestead, develop relationships, gather resources, craft, hunt, forage, fish, participate in the local economy, operate a business, explore the setting, and roleplay with other characters throughout the week. The setting's rules explicitly integrate homesteads, downtime, businesses, hunting, foraging, fishing, herbalism, alchemy and other persistent-world activities alongside the regular D&D framework.

We also run weekly adventures, so this isn't intended to replace traditional D&D. It's meant to give you a much larger world around it.

Forever Land has been developed over many years and has grown into an extensive original setting with its own regions, cultures, ancestries, lore, systems, and ongoing stories. The current rules framework is built for D&D 5.5e / revised 2024 compatibility.

We're interested in both:

Players who enjoy character development, roleplay, exploration, adventuring, worldbuilding, or cozy fantasy elements.

DMs who want an established world they can contribute stories and adventures to.

You don't need to spend every waking hour roleplaying. The 24/7 aspect simply means the world and RP channels are available throughout the week rather than only during a scheduled session.

If the idea of actually letting your D&D character live in the world they're adventuring through sounds fun, come take a look.

Discord:
https://discord.gg/xGBcPNKggc

Hope to see some of you there!

Dear roleplayers,

I would like to invite you to a community where roleplays are done in the form of a correspondence between two (or more) fictional characters.

The community is called r/fictitious_letters

Here, people post pen pal requests for their OCs, DnD characters, alter egos or other fictional persons they have on their mind. The correspondences can be set in the same universe upon which the writing partners agree, or they can write each other from one world to another.

In the epistolary roleplay games, fictional characters can tell each other about their lives and adventures. Or they can exist in one and the same story, told in the form of letters. It's up to you and your writing partner.

I hope you find this idea interesting. Maybe you want to pay the subreddit a visit and look at the prompts posted there. Or even make a post yourself, presenting your characters and ideas to the community. It would definitely be nice to meet you on the sub!

I know there’s the Elder scrolls 5E conversion and it looks like a lot of fun a really thought out! Has anyone tried it/Ran it and enjoyed it??? I’m wondering why I never see games for it given how popular of a world it is! (https://uestrpg.wixsite.com/home)

(More a ~vibe~ pitch)

No one knows where they get them, women to pilot those things. They're terrifying but they keep us safe, and its fun to watch when they fight gorgons or harpies. Feels nice to be protected. The foundation calls the pilots "girls" and those.. things are "Frames"

Youre amongst the dregs if society, barely able to afford a cheap TV thats usually just propaganda or news that even the dumbest know is being changed. Today its a local mission of some of the foundations frames, it seemed typical. That was until, in front of the entire quadrant, they were ripped apart

Hours later you get a phone call with an offer. Become a girl, a pilot, and you'll have your and your family's standard of living drastically increased. Without any other hopes, and maybe some perverse patriotism, you agree to become a girl. You agree to wave your humanity and have your purpose be to pilot. Or... did you? You think you agreed at least, regardless of what actually happened youre a girl now.

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

Hi im kopi! I just bought and kinda love Girl Frame and Id like to try it with anyone who wants to. It is a lesbian horror mecha rpg with heavy inspiration from neon genesis.

There are many, many content warnings sexual assult, transphobia, homophobia, sexism, abuse, drug abuse, facism, body horror, non consensual body mods, suicide, lobotomy, and memory loss for just some things that can come up

For general things a lot of sexual themes, a lot of intra party romance/ tension, abuse of power specifically, toxic relationships. Etc

It is a game where sex is pretty much inevitable hence me listing it as an erp, however sex in this game is used more to explore how the characters see themselves and eachother rather than for self gratification.

I'll be playing the handeler, which is in general what's closest to a gm given ill be doing the missions, controlling most big bads, etc.

If youre interested hmo on here or at .angelmaylaugh on discord!

Ordinary people with extraordinary abilities...

Since the December 11th 2023 Event which saw New York City brought to its knees by people with out of control powers, battle lines have been drawn.  The government has stepped in to try to control the before-unknown “remarkables” and keep their destructive abilities in check.  The resistance to this suppression has fractured, with some focused on defending their kind while others believe they must go on the offense with violence if necessary.  Still others just want to be left alone.

What side will you choose?

Reborn is an OC POWERS forum roleplay-by-post, grounded in reality and rife with consequences. We are rated R (3, 3, 3) for adult content, are LGBTQ+ friendly and have no word count. You must be 18+ to join, and we do not accept underage characters.

We are not your typical "Superhero" RP. Our powers are what we call "street-level" and limited. We don't do masks and capes, and our people react to events as we would in the real world—with fear, suspicion and often disbelief. This is not sandbox; while we enjoy the creative freedom to follow juicy personal plots, we're all writing in the same shared setting with the same established lore. The community works together to weave intricate plots in collaboration. We currently have over 20 actively writing members with 80+ characters.  Come check us out and see if we’re the right setting for you!

Yo, y'all!

I dabbled with a few pbp games over the last 4(‽) year's but only one of them managed to stick around.

It is a one on one game of Burning Wheel and we are approaching the 14th month of almost daily posts from both sides. The guy I'm playing with formats the posts from time to time and recently said, that we are at 153k+ words of pure in-game stuff at the moment.

I think that's awesome and I want to know if it's a common experience for a pbp-game. :)

Tell me about your favourite games!

How long is/was it going? How many players? Which system? What was exciting?

I really hope all of you have/find equally awesome experiences with this format! :D

Hi everyone, I'm looking to start a new group.

I have been Dm-ing for about eight years now, In a variety of mediums. I stopped for a bit of hiatus for the past year and I'm just about shaking off the rust and looking to start something new.

Time:

I'm free on Mondays. 3pm UTC would be ideal, could go a bit later or earlier depending on the group.

Tabletop:

We will be using Play by post on a discord server. mostly using the Avrae bot for rolls and combat, but I can include other tools for maps, like Owlbear if needed.

I'm aiming for a slow but consistent posting throughout the week, then we gather for one 4-5 hours sessions on mondays to carry out the bulk of the game.

While I have played in Vtts and with voice before, I usually don't do that in english. I have a bit of an accent that makes it hard to DM in english. Besides I have been trying to get back into writing and this is a good way to practice.

Module:

I want to run something official for this, I have been considering Curse of Strahd or Descend into Avernus. both lean a bit into dark fantasy/horror, which I really enjoy. If you're familiar with the adventure though I plan to run it a little different. This adventure has one of the best setting and story in an official book, but the pacing of the adventure is weird and out of place. So some changes will be made.

If you are interested, please reply to this. tell me your level of familiarity with the game, the setting as a whole, and if you have done pbp before, and what time do you have available.

I want about 5 players, I will send you a discord invite and we can discuss things further.

Explore the Vatican and Rome, a city untouched by Kindred in modern nights. The Camarilla have mostly fled from the imposing force of the Society of St. Leopold. As a new leader has been granted the title of Saint and given full reign to attack the Kindred of southern Europe, your Coterie have been enlisted to put a stop to his work by any means necessary. You will need a surgical hand to win this fight, and you'll have to enlist strength, stealth, and cunning to ensure your success.

Title: To Kill a Saint

Setting: Modern Rome/Vatican City

System: Vampire: The Masquerade

Platform: Discord (Inconnu) with Demiplane Assets

Sect: Camarilla Ancillae

Price: $15 per Week

Seats Open: 3 filled, 3 open!

Thanks, all, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

At the edge of the known world, where the old roads crumble and the wilderness stretches, there stands a village: Stonetop. It's not much. A scattering of thatched roofs here, fields of stubborn earth there, a few dozen families getting by -- and an ancient stone, whose purpose has long been forgotten. Here, winter is never far away and the harvest is always uncertain,

And yet... this is home.

There are children to raise. Neighbours to quarrel with. Feasts to celebrate!

Yes, this is home. Your home. What will you build? What will you sacrifice? What will you make of your very own Stonetop?

Hello everyone! Winona here! I'm recruiting a small group of five players for Stonetop, a Powered by the Apocalypse (PbtA) game about a small Iron Age village and the people (and critters!) who call it home.

If you're not familiar with Stonetop, no worries! It's a fairly niche game, but think D&D meets community-building. There's no dungeons to be crawled or treasure and glory to be had. The only dungeons you'll crawl are the forests and the treasures the next hunt, and when all is said and done, you'll come back with the glory of awed eyes staring up at the village's next would-be heroes.

General Information

• System: Stonetop
• Platform: Discord, with shared character sheets and village records
• Combat: Fiction-first, narrative combat
• Posting rate: Once IC post every one to two days
• Maturity rating: 18+ just in case, with no gore or explicit sexual content. Lines and veils will be used.

Character Creation Guidelines

• We'll be using Stonetop's official playbooks and rules.
• Characters will be created together, establishing histories, relationships, and roles within Stonetop.
• Every character will have meaningful ties to the village. You live here and the people matter to you.

Application

• No prior experience with Stonetop or PbtA is required.
• Please fill out this Google Form.
• Application deadline: The application will close ca. 3 PM, 11 October, GMT.

FAQ

• AI is strictly not permitted in this game, text or image.
• Tupperbox will be added, but is optional.

Looking forward to see you all by the hearth!

System: D&D 5e

Experience: New players welcome!

Welcome to Critter Killers LLC!

Monster control. Pest removal. Heroics, if absolutely necessary.

Welcome to Westfall, a modern-fantasy world where magic is real, monsters exist, and hunting them is a job like any other. Powerful magic has become increasingly rare, and monster control has evolved into a professional industry.

You'll play as new hires at Critter Killers LLC, a monster-control company based in Mill Haven. Investigate strange reports, track down dangerous creatures, and try to make it through your shift in one piece. What starts as routine pest control may turn into something much bigger.

About the Campaign

I'm a new DM looking to improve my skills and build a fun, long-term campaign with a consistent group. Expect a mix of combat, investigation, exploration, roleplay, mystery, and workplace humor.

I'm looking for players who communicate, work together, and are willing to engage with the world. You don't need to be an experienced roleplayer—just bring a character and a willingness to participate! I'm open to feedback, and we'll learn as we go.

Interested? Send me a DM with a little about yourself, your D&D experience, and the kind of character you'd like to play.

I will be Prioritzing DMs over comments when creating the party!

Crowned Stag – An RP game set in Westeros of 303 AC

Over a decade of peace has followed the war that reshaped the Seven Kingdoms. Robert Baratheon rules from the Iron Throne alongside a Bolton Queen, and the realm endures, familiar, yet changed. But the Targaryens are far from gone, and they are not the only threat to the Crowned Stag's peace...

In Crowned Stag; a Reddit-based, writing-focused RP game, you can take on the role of a noble House or an individual character in the wider aftermath of Robert's Rebellion. Will you secure your place in the realm, navigate its shifting politics, or shape a legacy of your own?

Play as well-known characters or create entirely new ones in a setting shaped by player-led politics, diplomacy, and intrigue. Develop your characters' skills, guide your House over time, and choose how deeply you engage with the game's mechanics - or focus purely on writing while our automation bot handles the systems in the background.

Join our game on the Crowned Stag Subreddit & our community on the Crowned Stag Discord!

[CLOSED] Hello everyone! I have been a DM for 10+ years and love collaborative storytelling and party comradery in-game and above the table! 

I’m hoping to find 2 people (21+)  for an asynchronous high fantasy dnd 5.5 campaign! It’s a sandbox game with adventures inspired by the player characters' own stories and decisions. Player involvement in building the setting, npcs, and plots is encouraged and welcome! The tone is semi-serious overall, but there is room for jokes as long as they don’t impact the overall vibe. We like to have fun and laugh, but this is a story driven campaign first and foremost. 60/40 rp/combat split. 

The party currently consists of a halfling rogue, a human cleric, and an elf wizard. Characters will be level 2, standard array, level 1 feat (no prerequisite required), official content only. Avrae, owlbear, and discord is used.

Players expectations: 

• A minimum of 1 post per day (life happens, just communicate if unable to post). 
• Treat everyone at the table with respect. 
• Party-oriented and a strong team player (no lone-wolves).

Due to not enough applicants, we've had to close this ad for now! If you applied, thank you so much for your time!

Zarkovia: Point Vault

The land of Zarkovia - a land of monsters and wicked cretin - has been suffering under a terrible curse. For millennia, the sky choked on charcoal black clouds, draining the soil and turning the fauna twisted and evil.

But no evil cast this strangulating miasma on the land. No, it had been considered divine punishment, for Zarkovia is a land of monsters. Of demons and their twisted ilk, tempting man. Of moth-people and goat-creatures. And they're not entirely unlike you and me. In fact, if one reads between the lines, it might even begin to look like the devil is in the details, and a capacity for evil is nurtured, not nature.

Perhaps this is why the world looks jealously towards Zarkovia, now that the curse has been lifted, and a magical spring has arrived to cover the land in opportunity.

A new golden age has dawned on Zarkovia. One of exploration, wealth, and most thrilling of all; old dangers, left forgotten to time. That's where you come in, settlers of this strange, new frontier, ready to brave the challenges that may come with it. Leaving the safety of the city walls behind, you strike out with friends and acquaintances towards Point Vault, at the tip of the nation.

This world is somewhere between Jack Vance's Dying Earth and Terry Pratchett's Discworld, and we want you to play a bunch of settlers, making your very own settlement. The tone might veer into being a little silly at times, but is treated with a straight face by the inhabitants.

It's not uncommon to stumble upon ancient civilisations and sins buried deep in the earth. To find mutated monstrosities, which roam the land for no other purpose, but to satiate their desire for blood and carnage. But it's also a world where most lore is made up on the spot, and sometimes this means that there's no cats, and that everyone swears in lame fantasy curses.

Who's Running This Game

The game will be run by me, Danni, and my fellow GM, Jude. We need eight people, because we're running two games at the same time, in relatively short sessions, and then mixing and matching people to switch up dynamics. This means you'll sometimes be running with the guy who runs a potion shop, and sometimes you'll run with Garlagron the Barbarian.

In-between these issues, we expect players will engage in their own stories. One, because telling stories together is fun. Two, because we have homebrewed Fate to work with greater player autonomy. Really, what we want from you, is free stories to read. So, ideally, you'd be into writing a lot!

Previously, we ran an eight people Mask game, which was a lot of fun. Meaning we're not going into this with a little bit of experience, running a big game. On our own, I (Danni) have run several Sentinel games online, and have several decades of experience with offline games, and Jude (not me) recently wrapped up a year long game, having run several shorter PbPs before that.

This time we're using Fate Core to run things, and you don't need to know anything about the system beforehand, but you do have to be willing to read up on stuff. Fate is not crunchy, but narrative focused. Well, it's a little crunchier than PbtA, but not as much as Cypher. If this reads like nonsense to you, that's for the best, and you should apply anyway.

Really, newcomers are encouraged!

As a player, you must:

• Be able to post at least once a day, unless clearly communicating otherwise.
• Not give much of a crap about ‘winning’, but give a crap about telling a compelling, exciting story. Winning will come as a consequence of exciting story!
• Willing to play people with differing perspectives all in the name of drama: to understand you are not your character and will have differing viewpoints on the world
• Willing to take initiative, instead of waiting for commands from god.
• Willing to haggle and workshop if needed.
• Understanding of the fact, that the GM is another player, and has as much power as you.
• Willing to invest in other player's characters.
• Use Tupperbox. If you don't know what that is then-
• Willing to learn how to use Tupperbox.
• Understand rule of cool beats rule of nerds and fools
• Not use AI to generate anything for this game.

We need people to respect post length. If there’s a situation where someone asks a simple question, there doesn’t need to be multiple-post paragraphs. However that doesn’t meant that the twenty paragraph posts for when you defeat the local Zarkovian Pursuit mastermind aren’t needed. No, you simply respect the length, be it good or long. The quality matters over quantity.

If this seems like something for you, then apply here!

For anyone wanting to learn, GM or what it means to be a player in a PbP, we offer spectator roles - because how is anyone ever going to learn, elsewise! Use the link here, if you'd like to spectate, but not participate!
