Link:   D&D Classics | Roll20: Online virtual tabletop I am seeking a team of enthusiastic adventurers who are eager to embark on a thrilling journey through classic modules. With over 5 years of experience as a DM/GM on Roll20 and a passion for D&D that dates back to the 80s, I am well-equipped to guide you through an immersive experience. Our goal is to assemble a varied and diverse group of players, fostering a strong emphasis on exploration and roleplay. I wholeheartedly welcome newcomers, as I am a firm believer in promoting and nurturing the love for the game. Join us for an unforgettable adventure and let the dice roll! Dates:  Starting June 13th, playing every week or every other week, depending on the group's availability. When: Tuesdays or Wednesdays, starting between 5pm and 7pm CST and going for 3 hours, again, whatever works best for the group.   How Long: At least 4 to 6 sessions to go through the first module, and then we can call it from there.   Who: New players are welcome -  Ideally a diverse group of fun individuals looking to work on their roleplaying.   How: Via Roll20 of course.  Historically I've tried used discord, but would love to give Roll20's new Audio/Video system out.  We can always revert back to discord if it is too cumbersome or glitchy.   A fun little quirk: You'll be starting out as zero-level characters, with only a race, sex, physical description, and simple backstory.   A class will not be initially selected and you'll have very little in the way of skills.  Almost like you're starting out as one of the NPCs you commonly meet up with at the local tavern.  You'll roll attributes, but they won't be assigned initially.   Promo In a world where legends are forged, and treasures are buried deep, a group of bold adventurers embarks on a journey like no other. Prepare yourselves for an epic odyssey that will test your courage, your wits, and your resolve. This summer, enter the realm of danger and mystery, as you delve into the heart of the adventure of a lifetime.  As the storm rages and the waves crash, you find yourselves shipwrecked on a desolate island, far from civilization. Stranded, with only the skills you possess and the gear on your back, your survival depends on your ability to uncover the secrets that lie hidden beneath the sands of time. A cryptic map, ancient riddles, and untold dangers await you in this thrilling tale of exploration, courage, and camaraderie. Will you be able to decipher the clues and claim the fabled treasure that lies buried deep within the island's heart, or will you succumb to the perils that lurk around every corner? From the darkest depths of the island's treacherous dungeons to the towering peaks of its highest mountains, every step you take will draw you closer to the ultimate prize. But beware, for the island is not as deserted as it seems. Fierce creatures, cunning traps, and powerful adversaries stand between you and your goal. Gather your party, steel your nerves, and sharpen your blades. Coming soon to a tabletop near you. Unearth the adventure, seize the treasure, and write your names in the annals of history.

I would be interested.  I am very reliable and mature.  I have been playing 5e since it started and I love the old modules.  I would definitely be a team player, never causing and problems.  I am pretty flexible too.  Edit I am Eastern time, so 5pm CST would be perfect for me.

Thanks for responding - I look forward to playing with you.  I'll add you to the list.
Thanks

Hi there. I would be most interested to attend and partake in this group if you would have me. I have a good deal of experience both playing and running games. Playing a survival-based early game sounds exciting and fun. Let me know if you have a seat available.

Hey! I'm interested in the group as well. I don't have a lot of experience with D&D, but I'm willing to learn and experience this type of thrilling adventure where we begin from nothing and see where the world takes us. Please message me if there's a seat available. I'm extremely available and flexible when it comes to scheduling with almost little disturbances.
I am also interested. please let me know if you have a seat available.

When do you think you will determine what the starting time is for this?
Probably in the next week or two I'll schedule a time for us to meet on discord or Roll20.    I'll also Setup a Discord Channel for us on my server and we can at least get the discussion going.  We aren't really scheduled to begin till June 13th for a variety of reasons, namely, I've got the complete building out the module on Roll20 (Text, NPCs, Maps, Macros, Tables, ...)  and I'm taking a week off for vacation.  I'll probably send out a weekly progress report.   
I've created a new Channel on my Discord server for D&D Classics - I've sent each of you my personal Discord handle.   Once we are all connected I'll schedule a quick meeting, lets call it a session -1.  My session zeros tend to be more agenda based, going over house-rules, expectations, rolling up characters and areas we might avoid.  I don't tend to run evil campaigns, but chaos can be fun. Session -1 is  a bit more loose, I'll let you know what I'm thinking as far as to the theme.  You already know we will be going through some of the classic adventures of the 80s and 90s which may mean you might get a little whiplash as we jump from pirate islands to desert pyramids to spaceships to dinosaur-infested jungles.  Y'all let me know what you are wanting in a campaign and I'll try to accommodate.   As a side note, I knew my next campaign was going to be either a classics-based journey, or 100% sandbox, relying on ChatGPT to help me with creative story lines and NPCs.  Maybe this will be a little of both.   At this point I only really know the first module, and am currently leaning toward a fan favorite for the second.  I won't tell you the name of the module till we've completed it, at which point I'll give you a short summary of the author, artists and where if fits into the history of D&D.   From time to time, we may take a few multi-session breaks, maybe even a month (or 6 weeks).  We all have lives and sometimes I like to find a small corner of this amazing world and just chill for a week or eight.   Finally - I'm hoping we can get the Roll20 Audio/Vidoe working.   I myself am from the business world and got very used to remote work and video calls.  There is just a better connection when you can actually see the people you are talking to.  If not Roll20, perhaps another service.
Not sure if there's room left, but if so I'd be interested! I'm new in general, though admittedly have been learning about DnD and playing around with fun character creations, backstories, etc., for a couple of years now, so I understand most of the rules and idiosyncrasies.  I totally get that good chemistry and vibes are important between people, so if any GM/DM/Group wants to chat or 'vet' me, I'm always down to chat!  A little about me - I'm a 35 year-old guy who loves video games, especially RPGs. I'm happily married, and new to tabletops, but very interested in playing some DnD 5e, especially in a more long-term campaign where characters really have a chance to develop! 
Hello, if this game is still looking for players I and my friend would be interested in joining! We have been playing DnD together since around 2017 and would love the opportunity to play in your game. If there is still a chance to play you can message my discord illann#2065.
