We are seeking 1 additional player for a long-term campaign. The game has recently started with a great core group, but in the interest of long-term stability we’d like one more; it’s easier to add now in the early days rather than later. System: D&D 5e Format: Roll20 for weekly sessions + forum play-by-post between sessions (written word only; no voice ). We use Discord for OOC communications. Timezone: GM is in Portugal (GMT+0) with some players in the U.S. Schedule: Weekly on Sunday evenings GMT (~6-9pm) Game style: Heavy on story and character development. Combat, when it occurs, is roleplayed with descriptions, dialogue, and realistic choices Slow advancement, not for power gamers. Set in the Forgotten Realms. Human PCs are strongly encouraged. The DM leverages modules to provide foundational content, but the story is open to go in any direction depending on the choices and actions of the PCs. NPCs will act & react realistically according to their own motives and personalities. This is a long-term campaign that will run for years. A little more about us: Three of us have been playing together for many years, primarily various versions of D&D but other systems as well along the way. Our longest campaign (3.5e/Pathfinder) ran for 13 years. Most of us are over the age of 4 0, and the DM has been GMing for some ~30 years. He is an avid writer and a history buff. About you: You are “mature” (probably over 25). You have time, energy, and enthusiasm to at least check in on the game on a near daily basis, to keep up with the forum between Sunday sessions. You can be happy roleplaying a mere human existing in a fantastical and dangerous world; you do not need to be some wild creature or snowflake hybrid in order to find interest in your character or pleasure in the storytelling. You have a long attention span; it is okay to have entire sessions without combat. You like to write descriptively about your character, using complete sentences and refraining from the use of “ur” instead of “your.” You appreciate complex, dynamic, well roleplayed NPCs who will act and react in a realistic manner, appropriate to their own motives and personalities. You like to act in a dynamic world that you can affect with your own decisions and actions, rather than being guided down a prescribed path. You love to get inside your character’s skin, and you understand how to translate the numbers and mechanics on a character sheet into an interesting, complex, and enjoyable persona that adds to the story. You are not overly self involved; you give space, air, and attention to the other PCs, fully reading other players' posts and descriptions and responding to them appropriately. This shouldn’t need to be said, but sadly from experience it seems it does: You are polite and respectful toward other players and the DM; if you disagree with something, you will deal with it like a grownup. If you are interested, post or PM me. Please include info about yourself, including at minimum your age and location. The more you share, the better I can get a feel for you as a player. We've been doing this for many years and are fairly selective -- for everyone's sake! -- to create optimum chemistry in the group, especially since this is for the long haul. Of course, I'm more than happy to answer questions as well, here or by PM.
