[LFP][5e][Free][BG:DiA] New DM Looking To Dive In

Hello all,

I am a new DM who recently started running a game of D&D for my co workers but am finding that we all have limited availability and am not satisfied with the amount of time I am getting to DM. I was looking to see if there was any interest for new or experienced players to play with a DM who is new (with some experience) and I am running the Baldur's Gate: Descent Into Avernus module. My priorities are to have some fun at the virtual table and to create an exciting adventure. I have regular weekly availability to run 3 hour sessions.

I bought alot of stuff to make the game easier on everyone. I have all the core books except for Volo's Guide on Roll20 and I have the Descent Into Avernus module.

Would anyone be willing to play?

My frustration with my work game is that they don't have any availability to dive into the game. When we do play it is a short 1 hour session once a week if we are lucky. The players aren't really taking it seriously. For example, we have a cleric with no chosen god they prey to.

I love DMing and want to play this module. I am new, so you may have to remind me of rules or help me understand some things. But if you can be a bit patient with me maybe we can have alot of fun!

I also am interested in other modules. I am highly interested in Tomb Of Annihilation and Out Of They Abyss. Maybe we will pivot to one of those if we get a good game in or we PKO.

I would like to join. What day and time were you thinking?

Hi Terry,

Definitely interested. What time zone are you in?

Veteran Player/DM here. I could be interested, depending on date and time.

Hello Terry,

I'd also be interested but like the others it depends on your time zone and slot. 

Hope to hear from you soon. 

I am in Central Timezone. Chicago time. I would have availability from like 5 pm to 8 pm weekdays and have much more flexibility on weekends.

Hey Terry,

I'm interested too. I'm also in CST and the times you have listed sound perfect.  I've played D&D many years ago but I've not played any on roll20

What is everyone's preferred playstyle?

I am getting some great initial interest. I don't want to have a massive party so maybe we can prequalify some people. Is everyone looking for certain availability? We could have a session 0 to iron out specifics. What characters do you all prefer? If we have a full party now and everyone agrees on the terms of this being a first time DM with some adjustment for people who haven't played roll20 much, then we may be good! 

I am not picky. But I would like to run the campaign Descent Into Avernus. I don't want to get derailed doing side quests in Baldur's Gate for prolonged periods and never get to the story. But I am also ok with side quests. Anyone have any thoughts?

A little about myself. 

I am 32, Male, near Chicago. I love satire and won't take the game deadly serious but will try to follow the rules. I love when people RP and typically will award some inspiration in moments of RP where people play to their character/backstory. I am new so don't like the idea of people going rogue and splitting the party. I always welcome feedback to help me improve. I promise not to railroad either ha. I am learning Roll20 fast .

I will do first come first serve as long as you are ok with everything here. So everyone who wants to play can. 

Hello

I'm relatively new to dnd and would love to play, I hope my  inexperience won't be a problem

Hey.

I'm based in GMT+1. I suppose I'm kind of a seasoned player (3 years experience, on and off). I did play the campaign for two months with a group before the DM had to cancel due to work. I hope to see how the story ends!
