Greetings! I'm looking for people interested in several campaigns I am starting up. Experience in these systems is not required, I am more than willing to teach you!
Games: Dolmenwood, Swords & Wizardry, and Mongoose's Traveller 2e.
Platform: Fantasy Grounds Unity with Discord for voice.
Themes: While all the systems I run have high lethality as a consequence to combat, I rarely have player deaths in my campaign. I encourage lots of role-play and creative problem solving. Dangerous situations are a puzzle to solve, not something that needs to be run head-first into. I mostly run sandboxes that lean on players having their own goals they wish to accomplish while exploring a fantastic or futuristic universe with a lot of depth.
Cost: I am charging $20 per session for all sessions.
Time: Sessions are set to be 3 hours in length with some leeway for winding down if needed. I have games set at different times of the day to have games starting around 6 pm in Europe, the East Coast, and the West Coast USA.
Length: Campaigns are weekly, and I expect them to each last at least 3 months. An end date is difficult to guess for most of these as they thrive on player engagement. They could presumably continue as long as I continue to keep you engaged and happy with my GM-style. Lost City of Barakus I expect to take 6 months.
All my campaigns are beginner friendly.
Current Campaigns:
Mondays at 1800 PST - Dolmenwood~ (https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmo1vv1db000cla042x18xal7?ref=ckj084n9c0qykbopkd8b ead50) This is an introductory campaign starting at level 1 that will take a party through the Dolmenwood. The game starts small with a group gathered to solve a local problem. From there, hooks will be dropped that can take you anywhere in the forest! GAME HAS STARTED, 2 SLOTS AVAILABLE
Tuesdays at 1800 EST - Traveller~ (https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmo1wpd7m002ujv04l4d2x5ys?ref=ckj084n9c0qykbopkd8b ead50) Join a new crew captaining a starship held together by duct tape, dreams, and a damn good engineer. Struggle to meet your mortgage and make ends meet as you have adventures amongst the stars. Do you like Firefly? You'll probably like this adventure! 1 more needed to start.
Wednesday at 1900 CET - Swords & Wizardry~ (https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmo1w668n00gxjp04p1xqd4gm?ref=ckj084n9c0qykbopkd8b ead50) Explore the Lost City of Barakus, an ENNIE award winning classic hexcrawl / dungeon crawl with a well established and fully realized city to also find adventures in. 1 player is already signed up for this one! 1 more needed to start.
Wednesdays at 1800 PST - Traveller~ (https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmo1x490p00g4kz04b83jk9wk?ref=ckj084n9c0qykbopkd8b ead50) A group of retired scouts are offered a loaner scout ship, they just got to recover it from where the last crew abandoned it. Surely a free ship won't come with any strings attached, though... right? R... right? GAME IS FULL
Thursdays at 1800 CET - Traveller~ (https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmo1x9v9z00i2kz04uq3cp1io?ref=ckj084n9c0qykbopkd8b ead50) Join a new crew captaining a starship held together by duct tape, dreams, and a damn good engineer.

Who am I?
I've been playing TTRPGs since I was 16 in the late 90s, cutting my teeth on ADnD 2E. I've been GMing for about twenty years now and have run all kinds of systems from DnD, to Pathfinder, to World of Darkness, Call of Cthulhu, and Traveller. I'm great at helping people get into new systems, which I'd have to be since I tend to play less prominent systems! I like players that engage with the universe I create. I'm excellent at improvisational GMing, so can typically roll with the punches my players send my way. Emergent Storytelling is also a favorite of mine.
Check out my profile here, with some reviews I've received! (https://startplaying.games/gm/pheanox)
I have an extensive Fantasy Grounds catalogue for the systems I am running, offering plenty of customization options for my players.
