Game: Cobbold's A Horde type CYOA
System: Homebrew PbP system where you vote by doing, and every voter is a player!
Format: PbP Orokos Dependent
Players: 20+ (Right now hard cap is 39, but we're hopefully getting more soon.

Description:



Every year and a half or so on the blood moon doors are shut, curtains are drawn and people hide in their homes. As the red light from the lunar eclipse reaches their doorsteps people do everything they can to keep themselves safe. For every Blood Moon some of those who are caught out in the light… turn.




And that's exactly what you are, a creature in the night, a lone faceless creating their own memories and forging their own lives through the crafting of weapons, the casting of rituals, and the music of violence

Cobbolds is incredibly simple to play, you just make a character, and roll a d100 when you vote for an option, I then tell you your results in a big post with everyone else's results! Why play Cobbolds?


Every Player gets their own drawing!



We have fan arts!



We have animations, and custom music that I make!

Game: Towards the Sun
System: Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition
Format: Roll20 (Discord for organization, Voice Chat or Text depending on group preference)
Time: Tentatively Friday Afternoons, EST, but up for changing due to player schedules.
Players: Looking for 3 more players

Description: The players take on the role as a group of young members of a clan of a people inspired by the Yoruba culture of West Africa. Now young adults (roughly 18-25), the players have been named by the Clan's Oba, or king, as the Clan's new Alaabo, or Protectors. The Alaabo are tasked with keeping the peace between things: between the various Clans of your people, between people within clans, between your people and their neighbors, and between the spiritual and the physical. Unfortunately for the players, winds of danger are blowing across the land.

Towards the Sun is a heroic fantasy campaign with inspiration from plenty of stuff that the GM likes, as well as from historical cultures that the GM finds interesting or has some connection to. The region that the game begins in, Ariahia, is inspired by Coastal West Africa, specifically Nigeria, but the world traveling nature of the game will see the players go elsewhere. Expect combat, intrigue, diplomacy, exploration, and a fun rump.

To contact me, PM me here, or reach out to me on the TradGames discord.

Description: A classic tale of globe-spanning investigation. I'd like to tone down this campaign's notoriously high body count, but keep the sense of doomed people trying to save the world for just one more day. Mood somewhere between The Mummy (Brendan Frasier) and The Mummy (Tom Cruise), with an emphasis on what it's like to be slowly unraveled by the Mythos while you fight to (and discover) what you still hold on to most.

Format: Roll20/Discord
Time: Sundays at noon EST
Players: 5

In 1917, the USA did not join the Great War. In turn, Germany won, ending the world we know. Now, the USA is split between warring factions: the militarist government of Douglas McArthur, who couped the elected president, the rightfully elected Jack Reed, and the rebelling Huey Long and his American Union State. Comrades, the syndicalist revolution is in peril from the forces of reaction! Join the militias of the Combined Syndicates of America to drive back the foe and liberate the proletariat! But be warned, not all is as you know, and eldritch forces boil beneath the surface.

This is a game of Achtung! Cthulhu set in the world of the Hearts of Iron IV mod Kaiserreich. I will provide all necessary PDFs and walk people through character creation if needed. This my first time GMing Call of Cthulhu, so bear with me. PM me your discord so I can interview you.

Boba Pearl, we get it, you're doing Cobbolds. please stop

No shutup, we've got a new game now, and it's called

[God Game/CYOA]Ancient Gods and Shinobi Team - Ninja Magic Pirate Fortress

You play either an ops team managing squads of ninja on deadly missions to keep your place as the top ninja household in the realm, or you're gods of the realm, trying to interact with the world, and slowly using your powers to help (or hinder!) this group of deadly ninja.

Gods players have their own CYOA, and can change any part of the story, by using their boon.

Ops players have their own CYOA as well, but ontop of that, their getting together teams of ninja and sending them off on deadly missions. You'll learn more about these people if you interact with them or ask them questions, either wise their faceless numbers you send out to die for the good of the land.

If that sounds interesting to you, we're recruiting both OPs always, and Gods for right now! So please come join along with me.

Time: 7pm GMT-5, saturdays. Open to adjusting.

Humans are trying to settle other planets after earth has been ravaged by climate change and nuclear war. After the development of wormhole technology and much searching, a habitable planet is found, similar to prehistoric earth in both climate and lifeforms. Named Relic, the planet's native fauna have made it surprisingly difficult to settle, but the chance cannot be passed up. You will be playing as a pilot of a Sundog, an experimental transforming aircraft that uses a psychic link with its pilot to enable performance beyond that of a normal craft.

Sundogs is a fairly lightweight homebrew system about psychic fighter pilots. The person GMing has run multiple campaigns using this system already.
