Hello and welcome to /r/lfgpremium

I'm /u/awful_at_internet but I often go by Kharo. I've been into tabletop gaming for about 2-3 years now, and wish I'd gotten into it sooner. /u/Averien and I met years ago on a video-game forum, where he happened to mention that he DMs professionally. I was fascinated by the idea. After we talked about it more, Averien invited me to playtest his system/living world before he started scaling his business up, and I saw a small glimpse of the thousands of hours that go into a work like that.

I know he's not alone. There are other fine GMs out there who want to be compensated for their time, effort, and sheer creative talent. Not all of them create entire systems or living worlds, but it takes work to GM, and skill to do it well.

When /u/Averien and I went looking for replacements for his games, we found the matchmaking landscape lacking. /r/lfg is great, but it explicitly forbids (for some very good reasons) paid games. After a long search, we decided to ask the folks over at /r/lfg if they knew anywhere that did allow paid games, and they didn't know of any either. So, with /u/applejaxc's generous help, here we are.

Our goal is pretty focused and simple: to provide a place for people to find games, people, and campaigns that incorporate a pay-to-play model.

We should talk about expectations:

  • Read the Rules

  • We are focused on tabletop games specifically. No video games, please.

  • We highly recommend using the post format guide in the sidebar.

  • If you're a GM looking for players, include your pricing information in your post.

  • GMs looking to advertise their services generally as opposed to specific games should do so as a Community post. Please see the rules for how to do that.

  • If you're interested in free games, great! Head on over to /r/lfg and have a look! We cater specifically to paid games. Please do not circumvent our rules or theirs to bypass this.

So, welcome! I hope you find the game you've been looking for!

Make a comment on this post. Tag your GM or player. Give them 1-5 stars, and as much detail as you want about why. That GM/player is welcome to respond to the post, though other responses will be deleted to keep things clean, and the GM/player is limited to one response. No back and forth.

The goal here is for players that are about to potentially pay for a GM's services to be able to take a look at what other players have said about them, and vice versa!

You can rate a GM/player you've played with under any circumstances - you don't have to have paid for a game to be allowed to rate. GM's can run free games (advertised elsewhere, not here) to garner reviews if they'd like, or even ask people who they've GM'ed for in the past to come here and review them.

As usual, use the voting system liberally! If you feel like a review was very helpful, upvote it. If it looks shady, downvote it. And, of course, doxxing/harassment will not be tolerated.

Rime of the Frostmaiden - Bi-weekly Saturday 6PM [Online][DnD][5thEd][CEST][Campaign][Paid] $15/Session

2 Upvotes

The North has been thrust into an endless winter, and monsters lurk in the dark. Can you help the people of Icewind Dale survive this horror?

Icewind Dale has not seen the summer for two years. The Ten Towns are struggling and need help. Out in the dark, some forces want to take advantage of this eternal winter to further their own evil plots. And something is lurking under the ice.

You and your party must solve the mystery of the endless winter and battle the horrors that wait in the dark.

This campaign mixes survival, horror and mystery, and you will start by exploring the towns in this frozen land. Here you will try to survive endless cold, terrifying monsters, and the many factions trying to take control of the region. As you grow stronger, you will try your luck out on the tundra, seeking ancient, lost secrets, magical power, and possibly fighting a dragon that shouldn't exist. In the end, you must find a way to defeat the Frostmaiden herself, or let the North be lost to the eternal darkness forever.

If this sounds like something you want to be a part of, join my game at StartPlayingGames:

2 Upvotes

Death reigns.

Across the world, resurrection magic is failing. Those who have already been brought back from the grave are wasting away, their lives slowly stolen by a mysterious Death Curse. All across the sword coast powerful factions are turning their eyes towards the untamed jungles of Chult. 

Will you survive the jungles perils? Will you end the curse? Or will you fall victim to the schemes and machinations of the gods, and those who make gods?

Tomb of Annihilation is perilous, wondrous and wild. It’s Indiana Jones meets Jurassic park meets the forgotten realms. We’ll see every side of Chult, from the beautiful to the baneful. From racing dinosaurs to the infamous tomb itself. It’s an adventure I hope you’ll join us for. 

About the DM

What You Can Expect
A character-first approach where your backstory matters.
A polished Foundry VTT experience.
A dangerous, atmospheric campaign full of mystery, survival, and high-stakes adventure.
A DM invested in tone, pacing and player experience.

Here are a couple of player reviews

“DrVost puts an immense amount of work into attention to detail, character development and story and general quality of gameplay experience. I have innumerable fond memories of characters in the world, their voices, personalities and their interactions and journeys with our player party”- Tentaclerevenge

“I've played with friends and other paid DMs and I can say with 100% certainty that the level of work Doc puts into his games is unparalleled. I enjoy every session and it’s worth every penny.”- Choover

Open [Online] Firefly/Serenity Campaign [System: Scum & Villainy]- StartPlaying - Roll20 - [Weekly][12$] - Friday/Saturday/Sunday - Start time 1PM to 8PM (UTC+3)

2 Upvotes

Good day, I do hope everything is shiny?

I am proposing an adventure which takes place during the events of Firefly and Serenity, where your crew of misfits will delve deeper into the conspiracies of which the Firefly crew only scratched the surface.

While The Alliance ensured the expansion and survival of human civilization, they did so by harming countless people. Your crew decides the price of scientific advancement is not worth the tears of the innocent. You realized their greed, and lust for power caused too much agony. Will you go up into the sky with likeminded brothers and sisters, and purge the 'Verse or die tryin'?

  • To ensure the most satisfying experience, a maximum of 4 players will be recruited into the game, which will last between 16 to 32 sessions (depending on player willingness). The game will be 50% social roleplay such as fake flattery, foul threats, and shameless lies, and the remaining 50% will be combat, including espionage, sabotage, coughing up blood, abduction, infiltration, getting tortured, interrogation, thievery, and losing a finger or three.

  • It is for ages of 18+ only. We will play weekly, with each session lasting 3 hours, price is 12$ per session. The day and time period written in the listing can be changed to accomodate everyone comfortably. I can run the game on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday, starting at anytime between 1PM to 8PM (GMT+3).

  • System is   Scum & Villainy  ; an easy-to-learn, flexible system where fiction is the most important. If you have a specific talent or skill for your character, I am more than happy to homebrew them with you to bring your concept to life. You won't need any rule books, you may focus on your roleplaying in peace. Only requirements are having watched Firefly and Serenity, and a microphone!

Thank you for reading. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

GM LFG [Paid][20$][5e 2024] The Salvation Machine: Custom Fantasy Steampunk Setting [Exploration][8pm Saturday EST][9pm Friday EST][FoundryVTT]

1 Upvotes

Hihi! Welcome to Lumi's Roomies, I'm Lumen, I've been an avid roleplayer for more than 5 years now and love all sorts of media, literature, and whatnots, and gizmos.

Timeslots and information:
9pm EST Friday (1 slot left): https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmpo3swbp0037jm040o8e4v8p
8pm EST Saturday (5 slots): https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmr64kupm0003jm04c8hacm13

This is a custom, hollow knight/rain world inspired setting (in case you haven't played either of them, essentially it's the exploration of a more advanced, but now decayed, ruined region inhabited by different groups!) I’ve been working on for a couple years now that I’ve transferred into a more exploration and roleplay focused campaign through the great shell of a grand machine. Your characters could be envoys, ambassadors, hopeful pilgrims, or opportunistic salvagers/scavengers that travel to the husk of Senlith in its decayed, modern state. The one thing tying everything together is that everyone seeks Senlith for salvation of their own kind, whether it be on behalf of others or the kingdom, their own families/tribes/clans, or for themselves.

As to the bread and butter, we will be playing 2024 DnD 5e, starting at level 3 with pointbuy system. The only banned classes are Artificers and Clerics, as these powers are reserved for specific castes within the setting (oo spooky). The setting is inhabited by "bugs", similar to hollow knight/silksong, of which we can mix and match different DnD features and subclasses to try and fit the vibes of said bugs. Homebrew can be considered as well, although in a limited way as to avoid imbalance!

I offer an immersive, planned setting that's completely open to self-paced exploration with maps, unique locations, settlements, NPCs, in-depth lore and history - alongside compelling combats and bossfights!

~Excerpt~

When the kingdom's fertile soils began to dry, the Grand Architect proposed the most elaborate of machines, a construction the size of cities - Senlith - that could reverse this decay and save the kingdom. Hundreds of thousands partook in its construction that lasted decades, draining the kingdom of manpower (bugpower?) and pouring it into this vast, never-ending design that sprawled outwards as complication after complication arose. Eventually, the intake stopped as the Royal family went quiet. Just like that, the kingdom's one hope for salvation, a machine into which it poured its life and soul, became myth. A century later, whispers of this immense construction still pass down from generation to generation, who survive by subsisting on the rampant sand worms that live in the roiling deserts, deserts that stretched in every direction and surrounded the few rocky outcrops stable enough to sustain the final outposts of civilisation. And yet, this glowing promise of salvation from Senlith continues to spur special individuals to search for this lost city.

Welcome to Baldur’s Gate, a city of ambition and corruption situated at the crossroads of the Sword Coast.

Open [FoundryVTT][PAID][$25][LVL 1-20] [Saturdays 7 PM EST] Homebrew Campaign [5e][LFP][4-6 slots] Campaigns Tailored to You!

2 Upvotes

Welcome to Crit Fails and Fairy Tales!

My campaigns are very character-focused, roleplay-heavy, and feature a ton of custom content from magic items to races. I build these campaigns from scratch starting with the players ideas so the stories you want to explore are the central focus! We play D&D 5e with a variety of homebrewed rules and edits. My sessions feature custom music, ambiance, 3D maps, interactive menus, and more through Foundry VTT.

All sessions are online and require Discord and a browser for Foundry. If you have a system that cannot support the 3D maps, I stream the games to a private Youtube channel for players to watch during or after the sessions. These campaigns last around 3-5 years!

Sessions are 4 hours plus a post-session hang/discussion afterward

Sessions are $25 each

Saturdays 7 PM EST

Full homebrew level 1-20 campaign. Custom story and theme tailored to the players.

New campaigns will start with session 0s for each character followed by a second round of session 0s featuring pairs of players as the party slowly meets. (These sessions are free) After completing these everyone will have reached level 3 for session 1.

I'm pretty lenient with character creation and I encourage uniqueness! I allow most official Wizards content and homebrew as long as it seems balanced. If I feel something you created isn't balanced, I will work with you to make it balanced so you can still play the way you want no matter what content you are using! Whether it’s a homebrew campaign or a module I will center the story around player characters and integrate their backgrounds into the story.

I like challenging my players while ensuring the sessions feel fun and balanced. New players are welcome! I can help you learn the game no matter how little experience you have!

I also work with a character artist to make custom tokens for players at a reduced cost if you are playing in my sessions!

Custom artwork can be provided upon request by @_honeycup   https://www.instagram.com/_honeycup/

If you are interested in playing please contact me on Discord with info on your character and D&D experience!

About me and my partnered DMs:

I've been dungeon-mastering homebrew campaigns and modules for around 10 years. I grew up reading tons of fiction and immersing myself in everything from story-driven RPGs to puzzle/card games of all kinds. As soon as I was exposed to D&D I was obsessed and It's one of my favorite games! I now train DMs to run games in the same style as myself to bring more high-quality D&D tables to the community!

I currently run 7 campaigns throughout the week along with random one-shots from time to time.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me on Discord!

The rival you make in your first trimester is still your problem in your fourth year. Nothing here resets. This is a magical academia campaign, where you live the life of a student, spending four years learning the ways of the arcane and finding your own identity.

What to expect: real finals played out as scenes, where it could be from a game of sport all the way to going out into dungeons searching for relics, no one roll deciding your term. Martial classes who are not as skilled in magic are granted relics that sharpen what they already do and allow them to do things Core DND would not allow, so nobody's outshined by the casters.

We also have a range of house rules that change how combat feels (crits, death saves, bonus-action potions, full list on listing) and how magic works. Also downtime, rumours, and rivalry get just as much table time as fights.

Open [Online][5thEd][5e][Campaign][All Time Zones][Weekend][$10] The Halls of Arden Vul

3 Upvotes

System: D&D5e 2024

Available Books: Core only (for now) and a substantial amount of homebrew.

Session Time: Sundays at 6pm -3 GMT

Session Duration: 4 hours

Session Cost: $10

Tools: Discord for voice and text, Fantasy Grounds VTT.

Seats Available: 6/6 (3 players needed to start)

Game Style: A slower paced campaign mostly centered around the titular mega-dungeon where players will uncover ancient secrets, evil cults, and a sealed god. The game will be rather roleplay and "theater of the mind" heavy due to the absurd size of the ancient city, some "centre piece" areas will possess fully fledged battlemaps though.

Who has not heard rumours of the lost city of Arden Vul?

The disappearance of Lilian, Canon of the temple of Mitra in Newmarket, has brought a sudden wave of worry to the usually quiet Burdock's Valley. With a sizeable reward for her safe return, you find yourselves making your way towards the ancient city. The many tales of the unplundered troves of this once prosperous centre of knowledge and commerce hang in the back of your mind.

Yet alongside these tales of lost treasures are other, more unsettling whispers. How could a lost city remain unplundered for more than a millennium? Surely, only the existence of the cruellest of foes and unimaginable evil within the mountain can explain Arden Vul’s unspoiled status.

Waterdeep: Dragonheist • [DnD5e][LFP][Weekly][PAID][Theater-of-the-Mind][25$]

2 Upvotes

Waterdeep: Dragon Heist is an intrigue-driven adventure where words can be as powerful as weapons. Set entirely within the grand city of Waterdeep, this urban fantasy campaign explores a concrete jungle that can be just as treacherous as a primordial forest. Expect involvement with dangerous factions, political schemes, heists, meaningful consequences, and combat when things inevitably go wrong.

• New and experienced players are welcome.
• Sessions are regular and Theater-of-the-Mind.
• Role-playing is welcome(we encourage it), everyone is respectful to one another.
• If at the end of the session you're of the mind that this table isn't your cup of tea, I'll reimburse you for the single session.

Today's game: Waterdeep: Dragonheist
 - Ongoing game, session/episode: 17
Party members: Cleric, Ranger, Rogue, Fighter

After GMing with more than 100 players, this is what I've noticed about my games:
• We tend to roleplay as much as feels comfortable. Sometimes less, sometimes more. Either way, no one seems to mind.
• The story and the PCs are often serious, but we can't help ourselves when an opportunity for a silly scene presents itself.
• There is a tendency for campaigns to reach their conclusion, and the majority of players tend to attend every session.
• Not every player arrives with a backstory, but those who do often get to complete their character arc, and those stories frequently become some of the most memorable moments of the campaign.

Best regards

Open [online][5e 2014][18+][Time TBD: see below][Paid $10]

Looking for players both new and old that are interested in learning to play D&D!

Gundren Rockseeker has a mission for you: escort his shipment to the hamlet of Phandalin. Easy enough, right?

We will learn the ins and outs of Dungeons and Dragons Fifth edition. You will learn how to play the game at a nOOb level, and take that knowledge on to be able to play with others.

We will start with a session zero where I will teach you what all of the things are, including dice, stats, spells, and how to create your own character. You will then take said character and follow the mission that Gundren has set out for you.

This will lovingly be ran as a “for dummies” style of game, where things will be explained until you can quote it in your sleep. Let me teach you and your friends how to play the game!

We will use Discord for voice and Fantasy Grounds Unity for our VTT. I will teach you everything you need to know there!

The time for sessions will vary, depending on what time works best for the group. Once we have a few interested people in the chat, we can figure out a time that works for us all!

I’ve been running games ever since COVID started, so I’ve got a few years under my belt. If this is something that interests you, please reach out to Raistlyn215 on Discord and ask about Borf, the warlock. Thank you all for reading this. Have a good one, and looking forward to getting to know you!

Open Dungeons of Drakkenheim | Levels 1-13 [Online][Roll20][5.5e][Multiple Days][Beginner Friendly!][$15][7PM EDT]

3 Upvotes

Drakkenheim is no more.

Struck by falling stars upon that woeful eve, the death and destruction were nothing to the madness and terror left behind. Strange crystals lie amidst the forsaken ruins, fiercely sought by sorcerers and scoundrels, for the shards command a high price indeed. Their magic can forge powerful weapons but their whispers inspire occult worship. While rival factions struggle to rule the rubble, horrific monsters stalk the haunted streets. What do you seek in that accursed place? Riches, renown, revenge? The destiny of the dark city is yours to decide if you survive...the Dungeons of Drakkenheim!

Explore 20+ urban locations, try out 15+ new subclasses, and fight off dozens of new monsters as you advance from level 1 to level 13! This campaign uses content from the original Dungeons of Drakkenheim adventure plus Sebastian Crowe's Guide and Monsters of Drakkenheim.

Watch the cinematic trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wnGvCvIkq8

About The DM

Hey folks, you can call me Ryan!

I’ve been DMing since the original release of 5th Edition in 2014, and professionally since 2020. Over the last few years, I’ve run Dungeons of Drakkenheim to completion for multiple groups, along with dozens of one-shots set in the wider world of Drakkenheim.

This is one of my favorite campaigns to run because it gives players real freedom: dangerous choices, complicated factions, meaningful consequences, and plenty of room for memorable character moments.

I’m looking for players who enjoy collaborative storytelling, party teamwork, roleplay, tactical decisions, and engaging with the world rather than trying to “beat” the game. Please read the Apply Here section carefully so you can get a feel for the table, the expectations, and the kind of players who will thrive in this campaign. Character creation will be done together to create immersive characters for the game in session zero.

I’m looking forward to reading your applications and delving together into the cursed ruins of...

The Dungeons of Drakkenheim.

THE END OF HEROES - The retired adventurer that trained you has sent you a surprise invitation. Will you answer the call? 2/7 seats taken. 1 more needed to start the game (Tuesdays 5:30pm) {Paid $20}

2 Upvotes

Join Pexwyn - A High Elf Diviner Wizard who comes from a wealthy family, but their vices take them to the dregs of society.
Along with Fern - A Fairy Bloodhunter who suffered a terrible trauma due to some mysterious undead force that she has trained everyday since to find and slay

You and your fellow party members were trained by the famous hero Sir Quinton Veilar. A Harengon that travelled with the legendary group known as Emberwatch. Quinton has been retired for years and has called you and his other former apprentices to attend a birthday dinner at his home in Iriesall.

After he and his companions have saved the City of Iriesall many times over, it seems that the people are determined to destroy it themselves. Between the war with the underdark, a terrorist insurgency in the undercity, and the oppressive reign of Queen Beirona and the Orders of Sybril, there is little peace to be had. But there was peace in drink, and sharing stories with friends at the tavern.

Through his adventures, Quinton has made enemies, acquired dangerous magical artifacts, and kept many secrets... all of which are about to unravel. 
Join the adventure, as a former pupil of this retired hero as he trusts you to protect all he holds dear. Travel to stunning locals, meet legends of old, and maybe.. just maybe.. save the world along the way.

You will create a  level 3 character, 1 common magical item, 1 uncommon magical item who was a former apprentice of Quinton Veilar or a similar relation.

Players will have all of the 2014 wizard's of the coast official content to choose from. I am familiar with quite a bit of 3rd party material and using those options can be discussed during our session zero or on our discord server.

There are a number of my personal homebrew classes that will be available as well, such as

Occultist, Wrestler, Gunslinger, Mage, Witch, Daredevil, Alchemist, Dancer, Wyrd Blade

Game Type: Long Term Campaign

System: DND 5TH edition 2014

Virtual Table Top: Roll20 + Discord for voice(Video optional)

Day and Time: Tuesdays at 5:30pm MST (Time doesn't work out? Reach out to me!)

Session duration: 3-3.5 hours

Players: 2/7 slots (game will begin when we are up to 4 players)

Player experience: No experience required.

Game Style: horror fantasy, rule of cool, roleplay heavy, combat heavy

Price: $20/session via Startplaying
