Welcome to the 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons Universe of Radiant Realm!

WHAT IS RADIANT REALM D&D?

Running as many as five sessions a day, seven days a week, the Radiant Realm is the collective effort of a team of GMs and support staff working 365 days a year to help hundreds of D&D players tie their characters into a single game world.  Our 4 hour regular game sessions come in a variety of level ranges and run the gamut of complexity, from simple kick-in-the-door dungeon crawls to high court intrigue.  New games are being added all the time to accommodate for a rapidly growing player base, and if you stop by we'll find a spot for you.

We understand that joining a new gaming community can be a daunting task.  This is why we work so hard to make sure your first impression is a good one.  We have filled this website with information that will make it easy for you to join a game and start playing within a week - sometimes even within the same day! 

Now let's talk about the process of joining your first game!  

If you're new to Radiant Realm, come join our Discord server (and carefully read and respond to the welcome message), then feel free to jump in the introductions channel to introduce yourself and what kind of game you're looking for.  Once you've found a game that fits your schedule and needs, you can sign up for a session over the Discord in the #sign-ups channel for that game.  It is completely fine to ask in a game's signup channel if there is room in a game, and/or to inquire in the #Questions-and-Answers channel for general availability.  In the name of each Game's Discord channels you'll find which day of the week and at what time those games occur. 

Sessions

Beginning in November, our weekly games will be $12 per player for one of our scheduled 4 hour sessions.

Additionally, we offer the option to have sessions outside these times for $20 per player for an extra 2 hour session, usually to catch a player up to speed on current events, to accomplish a goal that doesn't require the entire party, delve into backstory, or canonize a character on our World Anvil.  We like to think of these special, extra Sessions like a personalized, interactive two-hour movie. 

We have also just launched a new experimental format that you can read more about here.

Creating a character

Please consider bookmarking the Myzelis Player's Guide.  The Myzelis Player's Guide contains the Introduction to the setting, Setting Rules, and the Character Creation Guide, as well as the Campaign Calendar!

We update the guide each time there is a major change to the world or a new D&D book is printed, and have made sure that even uncommon questions you might have about character creation are answered there.  As always, you may ask your questions in the #Questions-and-Answers channel on our Discord for more information, and pick our GMs' and Players' brains for character concepts and advice in the #Character-Help channel.

Getting involved

If you can see a channel and have permission to post in it, you are welcome to do so, so long as what you're posting is relevant to the purpose of that channel.  We enjoy your participation, and assure you that a question asked in good faith is never unwelcome.  Besides, it might help someone else later on, joining their first game just like you.

If you are new to D&D 5e, this is also a good time to crack open the Player's Handbook and start familiarizing yourself with the basic rules of the game. 

We hope to see you soon!

SEASON ONE: ARMEA

Spring 2018 to Summer 2020

Armea was the world that started it all. Gods walking the earth, dragons hundreds of miles long, classic swords and sorcery, and a nation of warlocks that defied definition - our first season spanned two years, thousands of games, and spawned seven 12-hour world events featuring the simultaneous play of 50-80 players each. 

Our GMs are handpicked through an interview process, many of them from creative, local players who are excited to share their creations with you.  Some of them run two or sometimes even more sessions a week, racing back down to a local game store (or onto their computers) after school or work to get back into the game and roll some dice.

Most of these GMs have selected a Scribe from the community - someone to take down the notes of each session and compile the game's important info on our dedicated World Anvil, a wiki that chronicles the length and breadth of our shared world.  Many players take eager advantage of our offer to have their favorite characters immortalized in a Canonization with their GM, where we take down all the details about your character and dedicate a page to them on our World Anvil for all to see. 

Aspiring Radiant Realm GMs should be enthusiastic about our Code of Conduct and the continuous proactive process of nurturing a safe gaming space, prepared for a rigorous interview process, and expect to work in a collaborative, communicative team environment.
