Hello, two of my players are moving away, so I am looking to fill more seats for my open-table face to face game. We use a modified version of OD&D. I am happy to provide more details, here is the spiel below:
Welcome to the Doomed Reach
The Doomed Reach is an old-school styled “Open Table” adventure game set in a dark and mysterious realm – once ruled by the enigmatic demigods, now dotted with the ruins of their long-absent legacy. This cursed land, teeming with forgotten histories, ancient steadings, and dangerous creatures, has been approved for settlement by the Church. Now it serves as a series of border principalities between two kingdoms, a perilous domain to occupy the attention of political exiles, heretics, and inheritance-starved noble children.
Open Table, Perilous Wilds
Players will take the role of wayward adventurers, seeking the Reach for personal gain or cast into its wilds under threat of a worse fate in their homelands. These knaves will form a large rotating pool of characters who embark on player-driven expeditions into the uncharted wilds. This sandbox-style campaign structure allows for a high degree of flexibility and autonomy, as players can decide when and where to explore and collaborate to uncover the secrets of this enigmatic land.
Players will have control over their goals and can participate as much as they like – no commitment to any number of games is required. I am available to run games on weekday evenings (after 6 pm) or anytime on the weekend. My apartment is available for five players, although I am happy to run from other locations, such as game stores. We can play between two to four hours a session, with a minimum of three players.
Rules
Our game uses a modified version of Original Dungeons & Dragons (OD&D), coupled with modern learnings and best practices in mind. This system evokes the spirit of exploration, creativity, and immersive roleplaying while providing a fantastic introduction to tabletop RPGs for beginners. Compared to more mainstream systems like 5e D&D, OD&D offers streamlined rules and mechanics, emphasizing player ingenuity and problem-solving over complex character builds. This makes it an excellent choice for seasoned adventurers and newcomers to roleplaying games.
Safety Tools
We play with several safety tools to ensure everyone is comfortable exploring this fantasy world and collaborating on quests. We employ the X-Card, Lines and Veils, and open communication to ensure all players feel comfortable and respected at the table. We aim to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone can enjoy the adventure, and players of all experience levels are welcome.
