Looking for 4-6 players for an online game taking place in a dedicated Discord server where voice chat is not required but is definitely recommended as the music bot will be an important storytelling tool.
The game does not use any particular system as the story I want to tell as well as the setting it takes place in would fit best in a theatre-of-the-mind environment with occasional contested dice rolls and a simple turn-based combat format with initiative similar to D&D 5e.
This game will be mostly roleplay-oriented to begin with but combat will have great importance later on in the game. It should be noted that I am a relatively new DM, though I have been complimented by my players each time we ran a game like this. Those games only ended due to external circumstances and not due to internal conflict. I like to tell stories, especially with tight-knit groups of friends who want to explore a setting of magic and adventure.
The setting is a near-future alternate timeline of Earth where magic suddenly reveals itself to the world, uniting all of North America to combat what they see as a threat to national security. You will be playing as a group of magic users in a resistance effort to settle the conflict. More details are available if you DM me for them if you like, so feel free to hit me up for more details about the setting. There will be a blend of a variety of fantasy elements ranging from Lovecraft to folklore to fables to Tolkien mixed with a Fallout-esque attitude towards technology and the real world. I prefer to leave real-world politics out of my games.
The games I run are LGBTQ+ friendly and medium to light in tone with twinges of some darker themes that will be discussed with the players before encountered before they are of consequence to maximize player enjoyment.

In late 2021, the world was forever changed when supernatural forces from cultures around the globe revealed themselves to humanity. While it initially caused great deals of conflict, the world settled into an uneasy coexistence with these magical beings. Magical creatures were seen as subhuman, or often as outright animals. The entirety of North America united in an attempt to drive out magic from within. But in the year 2025, what was known as The Seal was broken, revealing an entire new continent full of magical creatures that had been hidden from humanity's view for centuries. As the world was halted by this revelation, tensions began to rise. Many feared the unknown, while others saw the opportunity for great discovery and exploration. Borders were redrawn, alliances were made, and the stage was set for a massive conflict between those who sought to control the magic of this new continent and those who sought to explore and learn from it. It is now the year 2027. The fate of this new world and its magic rests in the hands of those brave enough to take up arms and fight for what they believe in.
