Looking for 4-5 players for a D&D4e game

Let me start off by saying I'm a fairly experienced GM with tabletop games, but this will be my first campaign run online. If you are fine with that, then on to the details: I will be running once a week, probably Monday evenings (GMT) (though that isn't definite so if you are interested but unavailable at that time, still feel free to reply). Haven't really decided how long the game will run for, but it will be at least until September. We will use roll20 for the tabletop and dice rolls, but probably Skype for communication (because it's easier). Out of game hours I will arrange some other place to role play by post (either a Facebook group, if everyone is comfortable with that, or a mini-forum if not) if people want that. I don't mind if some of the players are new to RPG's (hey, we all have to start somewhere), but I would want at least two of the players to be experienced, to help keep the story flowing. Finally, the game format isn't really decided yet. Current thoughts are Forgotten Realms (because I am fairly familiar with it), starting level 1 (because I want you to grow as characters), and with a roughly even balance of role-playing and combat (because, you know, both are fun). However, nothing is definite, and I'm open to any suggestions. If you have kept reading all this time, I'm going to guess you are at least mildly interested, so REPLY TO THIS POST, PATHETIC MORTALS!!!

Hey Adam, I'm fairly interested in joining your campaign (mostly because i am currently not in one) because i am both an experienced player and i would like to become more familiar with the way the online game plays out. I'm usually available between 3pm. - 1am. (EST) but I'm willing to try and be available for a time that works out for us both. I like your idea of using skype since it is much easier and also a mini-forum for player if questions need to be asked. Send me a message if you're gonna get this game going and need a player.

I'm interested but, I have a game on Mondays from 6-10ish(PST), though if we could reschedule that'd be nice, I'm also pretty experienced.

To both of you; how about Thursdays, 20:00-00:00 GMT? I believe that would make it 15:00-19:00 EST/ 13:00-17:00 PST? At the moment I can do other times, but if we continue after September I would have to change the time because of uni and stuff. Thursday or Monday evenings are the only times I can do indefinitely.

I'm interested and I'd be able to play at the times you suggested. I'm also fairly experienced in the 3.5 system, but switching over to 4e shouldn't be too much of a hassle.

sounds good, how about character creation how do we generate ability scores and what books are allowed?

Well since this is a 4e campaign, you could look in the Players Handbook and all the info needed to create a character is in there. Alternatively, I'm sure that the host could explain that in more detail prior to the start of the campaign.

I'm also pretty experienced. I know how to make a character. I just wanted to know which method we would be using and what supplements were allowed.

I was planning on using the 4e character builder program that Wizards released a few years back (if you don't have it, I can send you it when we get started). It's a great program that keeps track of everything for you, including things like modifying your abilities when you take feats that improve them, keeping an inventory, and modifying your stats as you level up. For race I would like to stick to Players Handbook 1 and 2, but if you really really want something from a different book, so long as it is on the builder (and if you can give me a good backstory to explain it) I'll allow it. For class, I'll allow anything that's on the builder, and for stats, it's anything the builder says is legal. If we can find another player or two in the next hour, would you guys like to start today? For the first session we will just do character gen, and then I have a short, basic, combat-based map made out that we can do to check the characters work well (and if they don't, I'll allow you to make a few changes at the end of the session).

I'm fine with starting today.

I'm in if you're still looking for players!

I'd also be interested; I can fill any role pretty well, just let me know if there's room.

Okay, with Faber Alarcon, Adam Winbigler, Joseph Garrison, and a friend of mine who wants to play, we have enough people to play. If Jeremy Duncan or Trohnics replies fairly soon, then they can join too. If not, well, 4 is enough to play with! Joseph, I'll pm you the details now.

I'd like to play if either of them don't respond.

If someone can't make it and there's a player spot left, I would very much like to join.

I too would like to register interest. I'm a keen player of 4e, have a fair bit of experience, and live in the UK. Ive been dying to find a group in forever.

I am interested, but would prefer something during the weekend. I am in EST. I have quite a bit of experience in 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and multiple other series as PC and GM.

We just played our first game, and we may be looking for another one or two players to join us, but I'm not sure yet. I will post here if we need more.

Much appreciated. I also wouldn't mind just observing to check out the system a little more.

why didn't you message me if we just played you sent me a link then never responded.

I'd be interested but I'm new to the whole RPG pen and paper game type deal. Would you be willing to accommodate me?

wouldn't mind joining, im semi expeirenced havent played in like 8 months but ive layed quite a bit

Sorry guys, I've already filled up with players (more people from my university RPG soc wanted to play than I expected). I'll post here if anyone drops out, or if I decide to run any other games (I might be starting a game of Dark Heresy/ Inquisitor in a few weeks time; depends how much work/ how successful running this DnD turns out to be). Sorry.
