      The Untethering — A D&D Adventure

      As the Curse of Untethering threatens Glis once more, the only solution might lie in the one place all fey avoid - that Starstealer's Den. Who will be brave enough to save Caladh Sídhe from a new exodus?

      System: D&D 5.5e
      GM: Francisco Rodrigues
      Description: I am aiming for a short D&D campaign as an introduction to D&D (to be adjusted depending on the experience level of participants) set in my homebrew world of Tayira. It will lean towards combat/dungeon exploration to more easily support the comings and goings of players.
      More information: This party is currently full! However, if you're interested, send me a message on Mattermost (@frpatric) and I'll let you know whether a spot opens up!

      Castle Zagyg (megadungeon)

      For many years, Castle Zagyg was heralded as a place of grand adventure, abounding with gold, treasure, magic, and mystery. Then one day a curse was engendered. A vast mist rose up around the bluff on which the castle stands, engulfing the abandoned fortress and all its precincts. Those brave or foolish enough to approach it were either driven away by utter fear or transformed into frogs and transported far away.

      Now the curse is finally lifting! Your party is among the first to learn that the dread fog that once enshrouded Castle Zagyg is dissipating. You can be among the first to seek untold wealth and power in the legendary dungeons of the Mad Archmage.

      A classic D&D experience: explore the vast and mysterious dungeon of Castle Zagyg, created by the co-founder of Dungeons & Dragons, Gary Gygax.

      System: Castles & Crusades (rules-lite OSR system, D&D-like)
      GM: Michael

      Hexpanse

      About a month ago, as young emergents, you went for your annual training in Direwood. It was fun! But then this flying mountain appeared, the city was evacuated. People are saying there is a lich, but a truce was negotiated? There is also a cult? You are sitting in a camp instead of training, you are bored out of your minds, and a guy comes looking for volunteers for an internship with a Security Committee? Well, he says it will count as the training and more...
      System: D&D 5.5e, custom setting — see attached Primer

      Alpenglow

      From the chambers of the Council of the First City, the Grand Architect has laid out the cause; the Guild of Wayfarers has been established! Their mission is to reclaim the New World, defend and unite the myriad peoples of the Valley, and learn all they can from the artefacts of old.

      Alpenglow is a narrative, post-post-apocalypse TTRPG, founded upon the pillars of exploration and science diplomacy and similar in playstyle as Blades in the Dark. We'll run a short four session campaign relying on emergent narrative (i.e seeing what happens) as you venture out into the New World wilderness, threading the needle in faction politics, and make Discoveries that meaningfully alter the world as you explore.

      System: Homebrew
      GM: James

      Homebrew system, about gaining and losing favor with the gods.

      7 Gods has ruled the earth as long as anyone remembers, 7 gods help mold the people, each god with multiple aspects. Each god with their own agenda. You play in their world, your actions shape your abilities as the gods either favor or despise you.

      (This is a homebew system currently in the making, it is not 100% done, but please join and help me create my wierd brainchild!)
