Strength of Thousands
A magic school like no other! The oldest and most prestigious magic academy in the world is the Magaambya, an ancient institution founded by the greatest wizard the world has ever known. This wizard vanished long ago, but his sinister enemies plot against his school and those who attend it. Over their long academic career, the heroes rise from humble students to become teachers, and they ultimately hold the fate of the Magaambya magic academy in their hands. Graduates of the Magaambya are among the greatest wardens of the world, but if the heroes can't marshal the strength of thousands who have come before them, the venerable Magaambya might fall!

Expedition to Undermountain
No one knows what lurks in the depths of the mad archmage’s halls . . . But you’re about to find out.
Day, night, I can no longer tell. Gargoyles carried off the wizard while we were roping our way down Belkram’s Fall. Evendur the paladin fell beneath the axe of a blood-maddened minotaur two rests later, then Ironhewer stumbled into a magical portal and vanished screaming. We dared not follow him. It is said that these halls hide treasure beyond imagining, but even if we found Halaster’s hoard in the next chamber, we are so hopelessly lost that I doubt I would live to spend a copper of it.
- - -Underdark beckons, friend. Dare you venture in?
If you do, step over the threshold and come make a first level character.
You might just live long enough to enjoy the spoils.

Red Hand of Doom
The dry hilltops danced with fire.
Throughout the heart of the wild badlands the humans called the Wyrmsmokes, great bonfires had been kindled atop the ridges overlooking Elsir Vale. There thousands of warriors had gathered: hobgoblins in armor dyed scarlet, thick-thewed bugbear berserkers, goblin worg riders and skirmishers and archers, and the scaled ones as well, who often towered over the rest. For so long they had fought each other, tribe against tribe, race against race, engaged in the endless test of battle, feud, and betrayal. But tonight...tonight they stood together, hated enemies shoulder-to-shoulder, shouting together as brothers. And they saw that they were strong, and together they danced and sang and shook their blades at the smoke-hidden stars overhead.
"We are the Kulkor Zhul!" they shouted, and the hills shook with the thunder of their voices. "We are the People of the Dragon! Uighulth na Hargai! None can stand before us!"
One by one the tribes fell silent. Armor creaked as thousands turned to look up to the Place of Speaking. There, a single champion emerged from the assemblage and slowly climbed the ancient stone stair cut into the side of the hill. A hundred bright yellow banners stood beneath him like a phalanx of spears, each marked with a great red hand. The warpriests holding the banners chanted battle-prayers in low voices as the champion ascended.
On the hundredth step he stopped and turned to face the waiting warriors. He was tall and strong, one of the hobgoblin chieftains, but dull blue scales gleamed along his shoulders, and jutting horns swept back from his head. "I am Azarr Kul, Son of the Dragon!" he cried. "Hear me, warriors of the Kulkor Zhul! Tomorrow we march to war!"
The warriors roared their approval, stamping their feet and clashing spear to shield. Azarr Kul waited, holding his hands aloft until they quieted again. "The warpriests of the Doom Hand have shown us the way! They have taught us honor, discipline, obedience - and strength! No more will we waste our blood fighting each other. We will take the lands of the elf, the dwarf, and the human, and make the ours! Under the banner of the Red Hand of Doom we march to victory and conquest! Remember that you stood here this night, warriors of Kkulkor Zhul! For a hundred generations your sons and your sons' sons will sing of the blood spilled by your swords and the glory you win in the nights to come! Now, my brothers - to WAR!"
The burning hills were too small to hold the shout the Kulkor Zhul gave in answer to their warlord's call.- D&D 3.5e

Invasion Hell
The Seal of Avron Dee has been broken. The Gates of Hell have opened and it's armies march forth. The Great Dukes of Perdition have raised their banners and sounded their horns and flood into the mortal realm with eyes on conquest and genocide. The heavens have marshaled their armies are descend from above but the outcome cannot be known. It is up to mortal hands to sway the tides of battle and push back on the hordes. With the help of divine inspiration, a group of mortals ban together to begin the march to push back the forces of Evil.
My intention is to run a series of boss encounters and complex set pieces. There will be downtime between battles but not much.
For maps, I will use Roll20 and for OOC I will use Discord.
The characters will all be from and will start play in the Barony of Twilight, a scenic valley at the foot of the Mountains of Orgh.
What I'm looking for: Iconic and larger than life heroes willing to do battle with evil. The primary if not sole foe will be evil outsiders. There is no distinction between types of fiends (devil and demon will be an interchangeable term). Simple fixes like banishment will not be effective. I do not want hyper optimized builds and I will look extra close at extra buildy characters. I want a nice easy job as a DM for this.

The Last Days of the Kingdom of Bronwend
What brings you to this corner at the edge of civilization?
The small, inconsequential kingdom of Bronwend sits at the end of civilization, a remote place with little to offer the world. At the remotest end of the kingdom is the small village of Carlsby, where the PCs find themselves. It's a great place to get away, if you're running from something. There's said a guide can be found in Carlsby, one who is willing to take travelers through the treacherous, monster-filled Dareke Mountains to Cornadell. Or maybe the Dwarves Fair has brought you, eager to earn money?
Bronwend would be nothing, just another petty kingdom in a remote corner at the edge of Civilized Arelas, were it not for the occasional trade fair when the dwarves of the nearby Dareke Caverns come out of their isolated halls for one week to sell their highly sought after crafts. That fair brings merchants, collectors, and wizards from all over Arelas, from the rich cities of the east and south. The years in between the fair, however, are lean and empty of visitors. Now, a trade fair has been announced in a few months time, the first in three years.
But it comes at a time when Bronwend appears to be collapsing. Kolensdarby, a milltown in the kingdom's north, has broken away following a rebellion. Kirkthorpe, the only sizable population center since Kolensdarby and a coinage town, has more crumbling buildings than it does thriving businesses. Spotswood Hall, the ancestral home of the Heeren of Spotswood, has been empty for years, rumors of dark hauntings driving away any visitors. The current king, Thorm of the House of Brom, is a young warrior but does that mean he can rule effectively? And can he, or anyone, guide Bronwend out of this slow collapse? Or will clever opportunists seize this moment to enrich themselves at the expense of the dying kingdom?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Game Summary So Far
The party fought a group of goblins in a small village on the edge of Bronwend. After the fight, it was revealed that the attack was a distraction to allow the goblins to raid a tomb where a vampire was sealed. The magical seal, known as a sacrosancti, prevented the vampire from escaping. The goblins broke the seal and fled with it in their hands. The players attempted to recover the sacrosancti and made it as far as the goblin village where they witnessed a bird-like human take the sacrosancti from the goblins and flee to the north, far faster than the party were capable of following.
The players discovered that a second sacrosancti was held in a castle to the south but, when they arrived, they discovered that the castle has been overrun by demons. They finally defeated another bird-like human in the basement of the castle, recovered the sacrosancti, and evicted the demons.

This game is being run in a homebrew gameworld I've spent decades working on. I designed it for Pathfinder but am planning to run it in 5th Edition. If Pathfinder is preferred by most applicants, I am happy to go with it. There are few game rules and context specific to my world, which can be found in the races and classes section. Additionally, I have a lot of background information on this gameworld, some of which is provided here. I'm providing this because I want a rich role-playing experience. This game is set to be an adventure, with the usual expectations, but with a lot of potential for role-playing. It will probably involve some in-world politics, so be sure that's the game you want.Important information for new players
Since I started this game, I have found that my time has become more precious. I will try to post regularly but my rate has dropped down to once a week. Please be aware that this may be a reality, hopefully not very often but still from time to time.- D&D 5e

The Sea of Swords
The Sea of Swords
Era of Upheaval
1364 DR - Year of the Wave
Located along the Sword Coast, including the port city of Waterdeep, the Sea of Swords is part of the Trackless Sea that covers the western side of Faerun. It harbors trecherous storms and chill weather that blows from the north. It is also home to the Moonshea Isles, the Northlander Isles and the dreaded Nelander Isles to the south. Many ships navigate the sea ways for trade along the Sword Coast from Amn in the south to Luskan in the north.
Passage may also be sought to the Moonshea Isles, who some claim to be the jewel of the Sea of Swords, where mines produce a rose gold found no where else on Faerun. It has been ruled by a dynasty of Kings who maintain relative peace and stability and thrive on trade with the mainland. Between the Moonshea Isles and the dreaded pirate Nelander Isles to the south, is the underwater kingdom of the Sea Elves. Not many ships are brave enough to sail it's waters from fear of Ship attack by the bloodthirsty Nelander pirates or undersea raids from the Sea Elves.
This is a land and sea adventure for heroes of Faerun who find themselves in Waterdeep during a year of drought. Times are harsh in the port city as political unrest, heat, shortages of food and water cause chaos. Monsters plague the countryside as drought takes it's toll. Trade prices have also skyrocketed lately.
At a portside tavern in Waterdeep a notorious pirate's bosun has been spotted setting up shop, and the word on the street is tonight he's recruiting for ship hands, with a gold coin and a free mug of ale as a down payment for any who sign up as crew. Alternatively paying passengers may also be an option to go somewhere for a price.

Phntm888's Kingmaker 2E Campaign
This will be a campaign of the Kingmaker Adventure Path, as updated for Pathfinder 2nd Edition. We will be using some optional rules for Pathfinder 2nd Edition. Despite these optional rules, this campaign will be as new-to-PF2 friendly as it can be. I will happily provide help to those who ask, and feedback to everyone when I review your character. We will also make use of the following external tools:
- Roll20 (combat maps)
- Google Sheets/Docs/Drawings (Kingdom Building/Hexploration)
I may also create a Discord for this game, as well, for OOC chatter ability.
For posting expectations, I would like to see a two to three times a week posting rate. I have some table-specific rules, as well:
- Speak to each other with respect and kindness. We're all people, let's act like it.
- No PvP. While I don't immediately expect the group to work together perfectly, I do expect everyone's characters to not actively (or passively) combat or undermine each other.
- If you will be unable to post for a period of time, please do notify me. I will do the same during periods where I will likely be unable to do so.
The advertising period has been opened for two weeks, until January 26th. Once the advertising period closes, those who have already posted a submission will have one more week to finish up their characters, until February 2nd. I will make choices the following Monday, February 5th, at which point we'll iron out some last minute details between party members and hopefully get started the first week of February. This campaign will have six players total. One spot is already filled due to that person requesting this campaign be run, so I will be accepting five other submissions total.

The Crystal Heroes of Terat
Greenbrook. A small, unassuming hamlet of about two thousand inhabitants on the outskirts of the Forest of Harpa, on the Lomorre side. Technically under the aegis of Baron Gerente, and in turn Count Ernaut, and finally Duchess Adeliz of Lomorre. Like many other villages, it has a Crystal Pool on its outskirts, secured by little more than a simple fence, the respect the people of Terat have for the Crystal Knights dissuading any casual would-be vandals. (Well, that and the fact that it's functionally impossible to damage or deface a Crystal Pool anyway).
Even in such a small village, though, the lure of the Knights is strong. Thus, on the Winter Solstice of 563 F.B., a small number of teenagers made the journey to the nearby town of Rosefield, and from there took the train to Lomorre to begin their training at Fort Naoth.
Now, they return, in the company of a Royal Archivist, to undergo their Blessing Ceremony and from there begin their First Trial, Terat their metaphorical oyster to find fame and fortune in as Blessed Knights of the Kingdom.
Even they, however, would have no idea just how important they would become to Terat's future...

Surviving the Black Tide (SWADE)
In the quaint coastal town of Deltaville, nestled along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, players find themselves thrust into a harrowing struggle for survival as the "Zombie Flu" pandemic wreaks havoc on humanity. Cut off from the outside world, this tight-knit community must band together to withstand the relentless onslaught of the infected.
As survivors, players must navigate the narrow streets and picturesque waterfront of Deltaville, once a peaceful haven now overrun by the undead. With resources dwindling and danger lurking around every corner, they must scavenge for supplies, fortify their makeshift shelters, and fend off attacks from both the infected and rival survivor groups vying for control.
Amidst the serene beauty of the bay, players must confront the grim reality of their new existence, forging alliances, making difficult choices, and confronting their deepest fears as they fight to stay alive in a world plunged into darkness. In Deltaville, survival is not just a goal but a daily struggle against overwhelming odds.
The game will be a mixture of sandbox style with some scripted scenarios. Characters can have shared backgrounds, or start out as strangers, and can even be visitors to the town prior to the apocalypse starting.
The first chapter will start on day 1 of the pandemic, the characters will not have prior knowledge.
For SWADE Character Generation: Start at Novice using 15 Skill Points for Modern Setting, only Human for Race choice, no Focus/Occult/Spellcasting/Weird Science Skills.

Saga of Jarnheim
(Game is currently in progress. We have three active players. I'm looking to add 2-3 more players to round out the group for the next adventure. We currently have a Shifter/Barbarian, a Rogue and a Skald. I'd love to see 1-2 classic viking warriors added to the group, I'd also like to see a seer of some sort. Willing to consider other options as well that flesh out the group. Characters are currently 5th level, so build for that, all other character creation rules apply. Look forward to seeing what you come up with!)
Introduction
I’m using the Pathfinder core rules to tell the saga of Jarnheim. This will not be like a typical D&D fantasy campaign, the setting will be based off of a variety of cultural and literary influences and will resemble the Norse/Viking culture. My list of influences includes Norse Myths, Beowulf, the Nordic sagas, Robert E. Howard’s Conan stories, The Eaters of the Dead/ 13th Warrior, the art of Frank Frazetta, etc. If none of these ring a bell or strike your fancy then this game might not be for you.
The characters will embark on bloody, heroic adventures worthy of songs and tales battling giants and slaying wyrms. There will be plenty of action as befits the setting but the story will be no mere hack and slash dungeon crawl. The characters will be dynamic and real and the story will be living and breathing. I am striving for a mixture of grim and gritty combined with heroic.
The SettingJarnheim is a harsh and bitter land of high mountains, dark forests and deep fjords where jarls brood in their mead halls and peasants huddle within their hovels. Humanity’s grasp on the land is tenuous and there are vast tracts of wilderness unclaimed or spoken for in name only, in truth ruled by the beasts and the winter. The people of Jarnheim are prideful and independent admiring strength, courage and steadfastness though not all live up to the ideals, of course.
The setting is low fantasy with magic being uncommon and viewed with awe and suspicion. Jarnheim is a cold and mountainous land that is similar in nature to our world’s Scandinavia but much larger in size. The hospitable lands on the fjords and coast are divided amongst various jarls who represent an ever shifting collection of bitter feuds and tentative alliances. There are other lands to the south across the sea peopled by a myriad of exotic, decadent and weak inhabitants who are ripe for raiding and plundering when the season is right and the weather is fair.ApplicationsI am looking for players who are inspired by the setting and theme, and who value character and story above rules and ‘winning.’ I want people who I can collaborate with following a shared vision, instead of feeling like I am constantly being poked and prodded for weaknesses and loop holes. Please find the "Applications" section in the game and follow the instructions there.

Age of Sigmar Soulbound: Shadows in the Mist
There is a city on the Charrwind Coast unlike any other.
Where the mist never leaves and the shadows have eyes.
Pressed between the boiling waves of the Searing Sea and the ever-encroaching jungles of the Crucible of Life lies the free city of Anvilgard — the City of Scales. Its winding, mist-shrouded streets are a haven for illicit trade, unscrupulous pirates, and umbral sorceries of all kinds. Corruption is rife in every walk of life, from the lowliest merchant to the Grand Conclave itself. The people are just as sharp as the knives they carry. Every deal is dangerous, every alley a trap, and every die loaded.
While the dark-armoured Stormcast Eternals of the Anvils of Heldenhammer protect the city and the precious cluster of four realmgates hidden within the Black Nexus at its heart, their dour nature and sombre dedication to their duty hardly inspires confidence in the wary populace.
Many say that the city only pays lip service to the God-King Sigmar, and that another organisation truly runs the streets — the Blackscale Coil. This vast criminal network of cutthroats, sabeutours, and politicians operates from the shadows, steering the city toward an unknown future under the orders of their mysterious leader, ‘Sovereign’. To their agents they bring wealth and power they could never hope to attain on their own, and to their opposition they grant only disgrace or death.
But it is not just mortals who vie for power in the shadows of Anvilgard. Gods have set their sights on the city as well.
The God-King Sigmar fears the city’s realmgates might fall into the hands of the Ruinous Powers, who would use them to wreak havoc across the Mortal Realms. The Everqueen Alarielle views the ever-flowing defoliant spray that holds back the hungry jungles as a terrible weapon that could be turned against her beloved children, the Sylvaneth. And the followers of Chaos see the city as a grand prize for their dark gods, helplessly destabilised and ripe for the slaughter.
With all of this in play, there is no denying that to set foot in Anvilgard is to take your life into your hands. Some whisper that it is a doomed city, irreparably corrupt and rotten to the core in ways that nothing but a cleansing fire could cure.
And yet, wherever there is corruption, there are those who would seek to right it. Brave heroes who are not afraid to bring light into the darkest parts of the city in search of truth and honour. Those with the power and drive to stand before encroaching oblivion and raise their weapons in defiance.
The Soulbound are just such heroes.

Hello folks. My name is Saithorthepyro and I'm going to be running the Shadows in the Mist Campaign for Age of Sigmar: Soulbound. This is my first time GMing the system, and I'll be advertising for applicants unil the end of second week of January.
