About the adventure
Step into the vibrant and dangerous world of Naruto, where the setting will feel familiar, but the story is entirely yours to shape. The game takes place in the early days of Konoha, just after the 3rd Great Ninja War has come to a tenuous end. Tensions between the villages still simmer beneath the surface, and while peace holds—for now—how long can it last? What role will you play in shaping the future? As the dust of war settles, new conflicts begin to stir, secrets are waiting to be uncovered, and countless adventures lie ahead. This campaign invites you to create your own shinobi or explore alternative paths as a scientist, healer, or even a rogue ninja. Forge bonds with a colorful cast of original NPCs, solve intricate puzzles, prevent catastrophes, and engage in thrilling, high-stakes battles. Will you master devastating jutsu, become a taijutsu prodigy, or hone your skills as a master tracker or hunter? The choice is yours, and with over 500+ homebrew jutsu available in a finely crafted 5e system, the possibilities are endless. Choose your clan, pick your class, whether it’s the agile Taijutsu Specialist, the hard-hitting Hunter, or something else entirely and prepare to carve your legend into the history of the ninja world. This game features high offensive and defensive scaling to deliver epic combat and tense moments of survival. Roleplaying and combat are at the heart of this campaign, occasionally broken up by puzzles and unique challenges. Enemies range from disposable cannon fodder to formidable and intelligent foes that will test your strategies to the limit. Each session is a perfect blend of excitement, danger, and character-driven storytelling. To ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all players, Session Zero is free and includes safety tools like consent forms, open communication, and session check-ins. Whether you dream of becoming the fiercest warrior in the land, uncovering ancient mysteries, or building bonds that shape your path, this game will immerse you in a dynamic world where your choices truly matter. Adventure, danger, and the chance to live out your wildest ninja fantasies await, so what are you waiting for? The journey begins now!

About me
Hi adventurers! I'm Joshua, a Game Master with over 6 years of experience running and playing Dungeons & Dragons (5e), Pathfinder, and various other systems. Tabletop RPGs are my passion, and I aim to create immersive, collaborative, and unforgettable stories with every group I guide. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or brand new to the hobby, my table is a place for you to explore, learn, and most importantly to have fun! I prefer roleplay with challenging combat to create a balanced experience that appeals to you players. Expect vast worlds, NPCs with depth, and encounters that reward creative thinking and teamwork. I love seeing players bring their characters to life through roleplay, but I'm also there to cheer you on when you land that epic crit in combat! For new players, I focus on being approachable and patient. I’ll guide you through the rules, help you create a character that excites you, and ensure you feel confident and comfortable at the table. Inclusivity is the foundation of every game I run. I strive to make my table a safe, welcoming, and respectful space for players of all backgrounds. If you're LGBTQ+ or an ally, you'll always find a place at my table. If inclusivity isn’t something you value, then I kindly ask you to look elsewhere for a game. What i offer: Campaigns & One-Shots: I can run everything from quick, action-packed sessions to epic, long-term adventures. Custom Content: I often weave in unique story arcs tailored to my players' backstories and goals, plus i also like to work with homebrew when it makes sense. Player Support: Whether it’s learning the rules, building characters, or diving into roleplay, I’m here to help. If you want a GM who values your story, pushes your creativity, and makes the game accessible and fun, I’d love to roll some dice with you. Reach out, and let’s create something amazing together! ⭐ Safety Tools: Consent forms, open communication, and session check-ins
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation works by 4 books. The naruto 5e main book for feats and background, the orochimaru compendium for your classes, the tsunade compendium for your clans and specific clan jutsu and the Jiraiya jutsu compendium for your ninjutsu, genjutsu, bukijutsu and taijutsu. In session 0 we decide what kind of characters everyone is playing and if we are going to do point buying or rollen for your stats. We start off at level 2, as at level 1 every character is too squishy.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You need to have a roll20 account and have a working mic. It is good to scan the rules upfront, but you don't need to remember them by heart, as i already know the rules very well. Characters creation will start in session 0 and will be ready before the first actual session.
What Joshua brings to the table
We play in either foundry or roll20. I create custom maps and tokens based on what you want your character to look like. We can also generate a character for you together as I have midjourney. I like to utilize music whenever i play, and use character voices, but keep in mind, I am not a professional voice actor haha. Combat can change up with tactical combat which can be very intense or easy, it is depending on who you would face. Major rule is though: Rule of cool is always the most important rule on the table.
