Greetings to those all interested in the adventure! I go by Xenothanes here and I am currently looking to start another group for a certain idea to kick off my first 5e game! [Self] I have been a DM for a while then went as a player on for a while, and then tried to be a DM again then back to player, and now DM again, but life and work has interfered on more than one occasion for my self as well. The longest campaign I ran was about 2-3 years? Which I homebrewed everything and honestly my only success so far . Since then I haven't had the same passion to DM the same way as then until I saw the Rise of the Runelords AP and started having fun again. I'm having a lot fun so in my first group for it (I've added a little homebrew and mythic rules as well) and pretty good first few sessions in the second group. As far as my DM style, I couldn't tell you. I try to do unique voices for some but not all npcs, and I do love a good set of roleplayers but I don't try to force some rp unless it's entirely bland (my character does this, or my character does that. never really embracing the character as their own in any sort of way). I try to keep a good balance of rp and combat. This will be my 3rd current group for GM/DMing. [Themes] That being said, there can be a lot dark themes in this AP (primary reason for the 18+) so if that is not your cup of tea, I would recommend looking elsewhere. I am also no stranger to swearing, but I don't go about it excessively and I'm not forbidding it. As long as it kept in a rational manner i.e. "That bastard got away!" or "Well we're up shit's creek". Cussing out another player is also frowned upon in or out of game. In game though I would keep it at a reasonable level. Once again, i.e. a party member blows up a friendly(?) store for no real reason or accidentally= -Acceptable: "Blimey! What you do that for you asshole?" "Gods be dammed Jerry! What in the 9 hells you do that for?" but going overboard on the berating and slander is the no go I'd be watching out for. Anything else that comes to mind feel free to PM or ask here, I don't mind. [Players] I am looking for TWO players* EDIT: Forgot to clarify here. Currently consists of 3 players: a wizard, a cleric, and a warlock and have not started yet. New or old, doesn't matter as long as you haven't done Lost Mine of Phandelver/Tomb of Annihilation (to avoid spoilers and metagaming obviously) and punctual people. Have interesting ideas or need help with character creation, or just new to 5e in general? I can make time to help with you with what you need, and I love making unique things for or with my players. EDIT 2 [7/4/2022]: party consists of a life cleric, fathomless warlock, bladesinger wizard, and a paladin (leaning to Devotion). Currently level 2. The time I am looking for is Thursdays at 7 pm EST, with the first session 0/1 being this Thursday if we have enough people, otherwise we can always do next Thursday. For those interested, Id be willing to play until about 10-11pm (some may like to roleplay more, some may want to do stuff in downtime, all cool with me. I'm pretty flexible when it comes to amount of hours playing). EDIT: Forgot to note, backup days would be Monday or Tuesday (if majority can't make it Thursday, we'll attempt another day or have a skip week) For punctual things, please if you cannot attend, kindly let me know in advance, at least a day or two preferred. I know irl can spring surprises on people but if you have something else scheduled ahead of time and wait until after to either tell me or not tell me at all, I find that kind of thing a bit a little disrespectful to not just me, but also to the people you're playing with. I'm not going to kick someone the first time it happens, but if it becomes a bad habit I will remove you if you don't wish to sort things out. Voice required as we will be using my discord, which if selected to play, I will PM game link and discord. Pretty much a first come, first serve basis. [Free] As noted above, I'm doing this in my free time and for free. No monetary payments required to play, the only payment I require is punctuality.
