Hey where are some good places to find online #DnD groups looking for players?

I am in a family group that meets once a month.

And I’m jonesing HARD for more.

I’ve tried Roll20 but almost all the groups on there are first shifters, most of the rest are pay2play, and all but one of the few remaining didn’t catch my fancy… and the single one that did didn’t accept my application 🫠

Or hell, anyone here looking for a player?

#DnDLFG #DnDLFP

I don’t have much experience (my 1/month group’s only been going for a bit over a year now) but I did a lot of reading on the rules and mechanics before starting, and I have experience with amateur scifi/fantasy collaborative writing.

I have a couple characters ready to go, and I like making characters that fill the party comp’s gaps… and I also just like making characters in general, so DM’s don’t have to worry about hissy fits from me.

I’m cool with homebrew as long as balance is a goal…

@GlytchMeister @glassramen @Heucuva8 we could get a game started up. I LOVE to play a rouge.

@Mrs_Bones @GlytchMeister @Heucuva8 I'm partial to mage/sorcerer/etc myself. I'm afraid I am very spread thin however. I have so many projects going on that I can't commit to anything, sorry to say :( But, maybe at some point in the near future if things clear up for me I'll be down for it.

The last group we had together, they organized an improv, medieval Royal Rumble in the town square. 😅

And I allowed it.

Rule of Cool and "Yes, and..." is in effect all the time. 🤘🏻😆🤘🏻

@Heucuva8 @Mrs_Bones @GlytchMeister Can't recall the specific class. it was, but I had a small female gnome who rode on my buddy's half orc's shoulders. Nothing quite like tossing around small clockwork devices. She was essentially a utility item herself. Good times.

@glassramen @Heucuva8 @GlytchMeister one group we had pulled a tower down on a baby dragon with just the party, our pet goblin, and a few farm animals.

@Mrs_Bones @glassramen @Heucuva8

I intend, one day, to use Fabricate to pull all of the mortar out of a castle’s brick wall, and/or use shape water to compromise a structure’s foundation (5 cubic feet of water can make a LOT of dirt into mud).

I like to rag on civil engineers a lot but they’d be unstoppable if you give them cantrips

@GlytchMeister @Mrs_Bones @Heucuva8 Though I haven't played in years, I still hold the goal of using prestidigitaiton to trick creatures into running into walls, or falling into pits as often as possible. Actually now that I think of it, there are a ton of things I want to do.

@glassramen @Mrs_Bones @Heucuva8

I may or may not have a reputation for very…

lateral thinking.

My stepbrother DM is torn between malicious glee that I’m not very concerned about my characters dying because I’m excited to use my other characters…

And abject fear because he knows I will eventually bring an artificer to the table, and knows that he will likely have to look up civilization-level rulesets because the only thing separating me from a mad scientist is a college degree. 😈

@glassramen @Mrs_Bones @Heucuva8

Fabricate + wood + magnetite = instant printing press = instant Renaissance. Combine with bags of holding and circles of teleportation and you can make that Renaissance instantly global.

A warforged casting fabricate could potentially mass-produce Jo Blocks, meaning instant precision engineering

Don’t even get me started on things that can instantly shape stone and control water. Civil engineer’s wet dream. Hoover dam in a day.

*coughs* Ahem... <Wizards get THIS @ lvl 2> *cough*
😁😂🤣

@Heucuva8 @glassramen @Mrs_Bones

Economy: temporarily ruined until merchants make countermeasures against conjured objects.

Also a good way to make a trap trigger by making this a load-bearing object.

…

Can’t conjure black powder kegs, because they’d disappear the moment they take any damage - meaning they disappear before the chemical energy can be released.

What if you allow someone to discover uranium ore, use fabricate to make a 3ft cube of pure uranium, and show it to the conjurer…?

@Heucuva8 @glassramen @Mrs_Bones

… Nah, you’d have to be able to see the uranium atoms themselves to be able to separate them from the ore molecules with fabricate, and then I’m pretty sure radioactive decay would qualify as damage. Maybe necrotic.

Even then, that amount of pure uranium, even just U238, would probably instantly China syndrome and would also probably catch on fire and deep-fry anyone looking at it.

@Heucuva8 @glassramen @Mrs_Bones

… a three foot cube of the plasma of a lightning bolt. Or a three foot cube of the sun’s photosphere.

If you really want to get nuts, find a way to glimpse the core of the sun, and conjure a piece of that. Tho you should also probably use Contingency to insta-cast Otiluke’s Resilient Sphere to protect you from the resultant thermonuclear detonation.

@Heucuva8 @glassramen @Mrs_Bones

The piece of the sun wouldn’t stay long enough, because I’d imagine nuclear fusion also counts as “damage”, but the thermal and light energy it contains would probably be enough to ignite at least a little bit of fusion in the surrounding atmosphere.

If nothing else, it would heavily ionize the surrounding air and cause a pretty big but not thermonuclear explosion.
But a cube of lightning bolt wouldn’t undergo any kind of damage, it would just expand… rapidly.

@Heucuva8 @glassramen @Mrs_Bones

Rapidly enough to replicate, say, the spell Shatter, perhaps? Or maybe just Thunderwave?

Or does the caster need to have seen a literal cube of lightning plasma to conjure one? Or at the very least, a bolt of lightning thick enough to contain a three-foot cube?

@GlytchMeister @Heucuva8 @Mrs_Bones 3ftx3ft glass cube with a hole just large enough on one side to fit the neck of a humanoid creature. The interior of the cube is a vacuum. Best to use this if you manage to get close to your enemy. You summon it on their head, their neck making a seal to prevent outside air entering. If they leave it on, they deal with their head being in a vacuum, if they (or you) break the glass, they are then subject to the forces of air rapidly entering a vacuum.

@glassramen @Heucuva8 @Mrs_Bones

Ooh, that checks out, technically as long as someone has looked at the night sky, they’ve “seen” hard vacuum.

Alternatively, a steel mask that perfectly fits the enemy’s face, made as thick as possible within the weight and size limit. Probably pretty heavy, very hard to remove, and sets the enemy up for Heat Metal with no easy way to remove the metal being heated.

Wait… can the conjurer specify the temperature of the object?

@GlytchMeister I have no idea. That would make for some very fun moments.
