Interest check/ Looking for 4-6 players

General/Looking For Group
1

Hello!

I’m planning to run a campaign on VALUE Fridays and am looking for 4-6 players!

I’m Jan, aka @janlocks. I’ve been playing and DMing for a bit over a year now. I’ve run a few sessions at VALUE before—including a fun little mini-campaign :rat:—but this will be my first more organized project.

The adventure I’ll be running is a steampunk-themed hop-on/hop-off campaign, designed for levels 1–14. Each session will be a self-contained adventure, so players can drop in and out as they like.

The setting draws inspiration from the Netflix series Arcane and the Bioshock video game franchise.

General Info

  • Ruleset: D&D 5.24

  • Levels: 1–14 (advancing 1 level per session)

  • Schedule: Every other VALUE Friday, starting around June/July

  • Location: Wowkeepers

⸻

About the adventure/s:

  • A series of one-shots tied together by a larger overarching plot and political narrative.
  • RP-heavy sessions with a focus on social encounters and character interaction.
  • Combat will be tricky and have some fun mechanics.
  • Themes: Mystery, political intrigue, and a good bit of silliness.

⸻

What I’m looking for in players:

  • LGBTQIA+ folks and allies

  • Respectful and clear communicators

  • respect for player and dm boundaries

  • general attitude of kindness and respect toward everyone at the table

⸻

Campaign Setting (Short Description):

Imagine humanoids went to war with the gods—and won.

To achieve this, they built an interplanar nuke and launched it into the sky, tearing open a permanent rift above the capital city of Rifthaven.

With the gods now gone, a question looms: Who will keep humanoids in check—and who will maintain the balance of the world?

If you’re interested in joining, feel free to reply to this thread or message me privately—either here on the forum or on Discord (@Janlocks).

If more people show interest than I can accommodate, I may run a few one-shots to get to know folks and see who fits best for this campaign.

Looking forward to hearing from you!:slight_smile:

I would be interested once I finish up my mini campaign. :owl:

I have some questions about the setting (You will probably elaborate later on in more detail anyway :slight_smile: ) :

  • Considering the gods are gone, are there any restrictions on some classes like clerics, or do you have your own system for them? Also do some things not fit thematically?
  • How long ago was the interplanar nuke? How much do we know about the thing?
  • I hear politics. Are there any factions we are supposed to be aware of?

Otherwise, I can only recommend games with Janlocks (The DM), they are a great player and really fun to be around. They really care about role-play and are a pleasure to work with.

would love to have you on board!:smiley: As for the questions

  1. Paladins and clerics are allowed and work like normal, with exceptions for any Feature or spell that would have your diety interact with you like divine intervention and commune. Other than that it will mainly have lore and social implications since divine magic is outlawed in the city as are paladins and clerics. ||Thematically I think most things should be fine as long as they‘re not pure pop culture references or joke themed. Other than that i think like a very preachy cleric or Paladin prob also wouldn’t make much sense because it’s illegal in the setting.

  2. The nuke was 99 years ago. Your characters knowledge will depend on how long they were alive and background etc.

  3. there is a few! Am currently still working on them, but I will probably update the thread with known Noble houses and Companies this week!

Also thank you much for the kind words:)! Much appreciated!
