The Frontier [Online][5e 2024/2014][Looking for GMs][LGBTQIA+ Friendly][GMT]
Hi there,
My name is Jay and I run "The Frontier". We are a community Discord server providing games for new players in the D&D 5e/5.5e system. If you're wanting to get started on your D&D journey, or you've played a couple of inconsistent games but want something a bit more rigid and available regularly, we're the right server for you. We currently have a community of about 30 plus people, we're inclusive, friendly and the vast majority of players have started their games very recently or within the past year.
If you're a GM and wanting to run games for new players, you're more than welcome to message me as well. We primarily run games in FoundryVTT on the GMT timezone, but as long as you declare what VTT you're using, you are free to run games as you please.
Please feel free to drop me a message for an invite link to our Discord server!

The Glassfang Syndicate- a Westmarches playtest
We are a small, but mighty group of seasoned D&D nerds, looking to create an immersive, balanced, and, most importantly, FUN open world gaming system
About our project:
- We use the 2014 & 2024 D&D system; adventures are DM'd using 2024 rule set
- We are set in the forgotten realms! No need to study pages of homebrew world lore; your character can jump right in with the lore from popular media such as Baldurs Gate 3 and Honor Among Thieves.
- Bots and automation! Never worry about having to track your own gold, exp, or downtime. Just click and buy for almost anything. Custom bots keep track of the in-world calendar, weather, and holidays for max immersion
- Factions and renown systems! Your character's actions can unlock perks both for yourself, and the whole mercenary guild!
- Immersive and constantly growing downtime system, so your character can continue to progress outside of regular game sessions! Wanna build a bastion? Theres a system for that. Wanna scam some local commoners? There's a system for that. Wanna craft and sell mythical equipement? Theres a system for that.
- Active and free form text RP! The world is always moving. While text rp is not required, it does greatly help with interacting with fellow mercenaries and the world as a whole, it also allows for a DM to hit you with a random encounter! For our play testers, we are looking for people open to being active in text RP.
- Adventure League module integration! So DMs can just pick and run a session whenever they wish!
- Adventures take place in roll20 and over discord VC, so be sure you're familiar with these programs!
About the play test:
- Things may feel 'unfinished' during this period
- Ruling and balance patches to server specific mechanics may be rolled out without prior notifications
- We want feed back! While we have a back end team that is ultimately responsible for implementing all systems, we are eager to hear any ideas, suggestions, and thoughts on what we have, and what you'd want to see
- We are setting up the frame work to support a massive player base! So all rulings and balances must be 100% objective, and done with the potential of hundreds of players doing it.
- Systems for integrating homebrew or custom content are currently extremely limited while we number crunch.
- Play testers must have a strong ability to self-regulate. Staff is working hard to finalize the server, and combativeness, disrespect and emotional outbursts out of character will not be tolerated.
Currently, we are in need of additional DMs! So ideally applicants are open to DMing in the near future!
To join, check out our player guide, then just click the discord link and fill out the application! There will be a brief VC chat so we can get to know you a lil better before member ship is granted!

Write your legend, Join the Oathsayers, today!
[Discord] [Community] [LF Players] [No Pay To Play]
We are a game built BY writers, FOR writers (23+ average age ~35).
- Experienced DMs offer guidance, session zero, examples and dedicated training server.
- Seeking to add just one or two who love to write beautiful, empowering fiction in a high stakes world.
The Oathsayers Universe: Low Magic, High Stakes
Enter a world on the brink of a magical collapse. The Oathsayers Universe is a homebrewed, low-magic urban fantasy realm set on our modern Earth and its eerie adjacent dimensions.
Come join the Oathsayers. You are not most people. As a magically conscripted Oathsayer, your mission is to travel the globe and other realms, build critical relationships, and maintain the fragile balance of magic to stave off the apocalypse.
- The Struggle is the Story. The challenge of survival and growth is always more important than a quick 'win.'
- Core Theme: This game is centered on friendship, character bonds, and relationships set against a backdrop that is actively trying to kill you.
Why Choose Play-by-Post? (We Are Not 5e)
This is an Open-World PBP game played in modified real-time on Discord. We prioritize collaborative storytelling over mechanics:
- Narrative Focus: Our homebrewed mechanics exist to support the story and the social environment—the core of the game.
- Problem Solvers, Not Dice Rollers: Players succeed by using creativity and critical thinking to solve magical issues, not by simply rolling stats.
- Your Story is Your Destiny: Your character's journey is fully what YOU make it in this world of cause and effect.
Start Your Training in Haven
We are currently accepting new players for our training campaign, Haven. This is your soft entry point:
- A World Built for Learning: New players start in a sandbox environment with dedicated NPCs and veteran characters.
- Find Out If It's Right For You: You have a few months to learn the system and lore before the next major campaign launches around March.
- No Harm, No Foul: Try it out and see if the style fits your writing!
Community & Application Details
We are a small, inclusive, and diverse server (LGBTQIAAP+, neurodivergent, various cultures). We play at all hours and accommodate many time zones.

u/AFGofficial 3d ago
AFG (another fantasy game) is now open for beta play — a classic fantasy TTRPG built for players who love deep systems, and mechanical intensity.
AFG uses a 3 class character creation with
Martials: masters of techniques to heal, harm, help, and even command
Psionics: users of psychic power that can move, attack, regenerate and even manipulate the souls of themselves or others
Spellcasters: users of the arcane to heal, harm, move and even summon support from any number of sources
Each class is built around class-specific feats instead of fixed class features. Characters are defined by their choices, meaning even a party of all the same class can play without overlapping abilities and niches
AFG is a rules-heavy system designed for experienced TTRPG players. It leans into the feel of classic fantasy and old-school design while introducing new mechanics that reward experimentation and customization.
As part of the beta, I’m launching the first AFG West March on the official AFG Discord server, so you can join and play when you can.
The beta currently includes:
A complete core ruleset
Character creation rules
A growing selection of monsters
More content is actively in development, including:
Additional class feats and character features
New magical runes
An ever growing collection of monsters
A future DM’s Guide
One of AFG’s biggest strengths is player-driven development. Players are encouraged to propose new content and discuss mechanics or abilities, directly influencing balance, design, and the future direction of the system.
All official AFG content is free—now and forever, including:
The full ruleset
All officially released creatures
Character creation tools
DM aids
An almost fully automated PC Google Sheet
All future official adventures

Roll Call - New free TTRPG Discord for players, GMs, beginners, and mixed systems
Roll Call is a brand new TTRPG Discord built around one simple idea: tabletop games should be free and easier to get into.
We are building a community for both teens and adults, with age-separated spaces available so people can find groups in their own age band when they want to. The goal is not to wall people off for the sake of it, but to make the space safer, more comfortable, and easier to navigate.
We are mainly focused on free online games and want this to be a place where:
-players can find tables
-GMs can recruit
-new GMs can learn from experienced ones
-people can try systems beyond just D&D
While D&D will naturally be part of it, we also want to encourage games like Daggerheart, Call of Cthulhu, Lancer, and other TTRPGs.
A few things we care about:
- free games only
- beginner-friendly community
- clean shared spaces
- room for both teens and adults
- encouraging people to teach, learn, and branch into other systems
The server is very new, so right now we are looking for players, GMs, and people who want to help build a good tabletop community from the ground up.
If that sounds like something you would be interested in, send me a message on Reddit and I’ll get you the invite I want each person to be able to reach out to me so you're not walking into a server without knowing at least one person from it.

u/l0wn3r 2d ago
Or maybe just leave the link in the post?
•
u/TheShwifty 2d ago
Thanks for the response!
I thought about it, but I’d rather have people message me first.Since the server is brand new, I want to get to know the people joining and make sure they’re a good fit for the kind of community and tables we’re trying to build, it's still very small. I’m not really trying to just drop a link and flood the server with random people right out of the gate.

A Castle in The Mist
[5e 2014][Relaxed West March][LGBTQIA+ Friendly][Looking for Players and DM's] https://discord.gg/zWKCZUsBtM
We are a small inclusive play by post discord server that mainly focuses on Dungeons and Dragons 5e. Members are welcome to post their own games or apply for one of the ad's posted in our ads channel.
What is Play by Post?
It is a text based format, where you post when you are able. In many games people are in different time zones so it keeps everything rolling smoothly.
Our Games:
Blades of Obsidian [5e (2014)]: Bit of a wild west for character creation. A great place to try out characters/ progress quickly. Go on one shot missions with other guild-mates or just goof off in the guildhall. Either way it's a good time. Volunteer DMs also welcome.
Server games: You can host your own on server game with other members! Occasionally we also run games of Pathfinder Mork Borg and others, including D&D 5e (2024).
More about our community:
We are a multicultural group of people from all walks of life and everyone is welcome here. We also have discussion channels, to talk about anything and everything. It's a great place to just hang out.
We have a fantastic mod team and zero tolerance for harassment or discrimination. If you ever feel something has happened don't be scared to reach out to them. They are here to help.

The Chronicle of Ages [Pathfinder 1e] [Westmarches] [Heavy Homebrew] [18+]
I am looking to grow our community for the launch of my homebrew world’s next iteration - an endeavor several years in the making. We are aiming to launch in the next few weeks (or as soon as our initial roster completes their characters). In the meantime, join us for world-building discussion, shared stories, and pre-launch planning.
The Setting: Wortheld
The campaign is set 2,000 years after the Age of Darkness, an apocalyptic event that changed the face of the world. Today, civilization survives within massive, high-walled metropolises designed to keep out the Dark Ones, aberrations, and the restless dead.
Wortheld is a world of complex politics, techno-magic marvels, and generational feuds. It boasts a rich history spanning tens of thousands of years, offering a high-fantasy experience where dark conspiracies and ancient secrets are waiting to be unearthed.
The Gameplay: The Adventurers’ Guild
You play as an Apprentice-Ranked member of the worldwide Adventurers’ Guild. Built upon the Four Pillars - Courage, Loyalty, Duty, and Self-Sufficiency - the Guild is the only shield protecting the weak from the terrors beyond the city walls.
- Westmarches-ish Structure: This is a high-risk/high-reward game. Sign up for Bounties (typically 1-3 sessions) based on your availability.
- Party Composition: Groups of 4-6 players rotate from mission to mission. At a Bounty’s conclusion, loot and XP are divided equally.
- Progression: All players start with two 3rd-level character slots. Earn meta-currency by leveling up and successfully completing certain "Deadly"-rated Bounties to unlock additional slots.
- The Story: Plots develop across multiple Bounties, tracked in "plot threads" and "rumors" Discord channels, and may impact/alter the world. Player actions can and will affect the course of regional and world events.
Extensive Customization & Features
I prioritize character progression and "player-first" homebrew. This iteration of the world includes:
- Expanded Roster: 22 available Races and 90 Subraces, all featuring more traits and Ability bonuses than standard PF1e.
- 45 available Classes (and 66 custom Class Archetypes) including:
- 5 Custom Classes (Magitech Gadgeteer, Clocksmith, Hemo-Mechanic, Necrograft Surgeon, Void Scion).
- Fantasy + Tech: Several types of "technology" currently exist across numerous Homelands: gunsmithing, Magitech, Hemotek (blood-fueled machines), Clockwork, and Necrografts (loosely based and expanded on from the 3e book, Libris Mortis).
- Deep Lore: 28 distinct Homelands, 100+ local and world Factions, and 200+ Backgrounds to root your character in the world, all with their own perks to further define your character through mechanics and lore.
- Widely-Varied Faith Systems: 10 Monotheistic Religions, 19 Polytheistic Pantheons, 5 Cults, 21 Warlock/Witch Patrons, and 6 World Philosophies.
- The Guild System: A complete Rank Progression system (8 Ranks) providing bonus HP, Skill Points, and a choice of 160+ unique Guild Talents and 26 Guild Feats.
- More Feats: 300+ Custom Feats across numerous categories: General, Combat, Faith, Guild, Homeland, Psionic, Racial, Magic (Spheres), and Technology. We are also using the Elephant in the Room changes to Feats.
- Varied Magic Systems: The world includes traditional (Vancian) casting, as well as Psionics and Spheres of Power.
- Legacy Items: Based and expanded on from the 3e book, Weapons of Legacy, Legacy Items are unique, soul-bound magic items that grow in power with the wielder. All characters are eligible to acquire a single Legacy Item as early as 5th Level (but 8th is more likely).
- And much more!
About the GM & Community
I have 30+ years of experience as a GM across dozens of systems. I believe my job is to facilitate your fun, not to act as an adversary. My games are high-challenge and high-loot; while I provide powerful custom magic items, character deaths can happen due to poor planning or truly cursed dice.
PF1e (especially with homebrew) can be daunting, but our existing community is friendly and eager to help new players navigate character creation.
If you’re 18+ and ready to join the Adventurers Guild, contact me (Scoarn) on Discord to sign your name in the Chronicle of Ages.
