What: I have
returned to D&D and tabletop RPGs after an absence of 20 years, and I have been assembling a group of mature D&D players, aged 30+ or 40+. We are looking for like-minded
and mature adults who played D&D during its earlier versions and are
looking for a similar experience with the new 5E system. This will be a casual
and relaxed group, but we want to be serious about making a commitment to a
regular schedule and hopefully enjoying a long-term campaign.
In our recent recruiting effort, we assembled a fantastic
roster of potential players, but session days and times proved to be a
deal-breaker. So, currently, we have two veteran players and a provisional player
who is new to RGPs and D&D.
When: Bi-weekly
Saturdays at 10:00 am PST for up to four hours. However, you must have consistent availability on
Saturdays from 10:00 am to 6:00pm PST. We do not want player absences or
cancellations, and players need flexibility in case we need to move a start
time, run back-to-back Saturdays due to holiday conflicts, or potentially move
to a weekly game.
NOTE: If you have
any uncertainty about being free on Saturdays or your ability or willingness to
make a commitment, please do not apply.
Requirements: We
will use Roll20 and the digital character sheets for D&D 5E. We will use
the built-in Roll20 interface for live audio, and video is optional.
Start Date: To be
determined. We plan to hold one or two initial sessions to validate our group
and make sure that everyone is familiar with the 5E rules.
Desired Players: All
players will be vetted before officially joining the group. Adults of 30+ years
of age with an established career and suitable free time and flexibility would
be ideal. You must be mature, extremely reliable, willing to make a commitment
to the group, and able to get along well with other people and personalities.
NOTE: If you are
an intensely competitive gamer, if you tend to dominate sessions, if you focus
on min/maxing rather than playing a unique and compelling character, if you are
into comedy campaigns with constant joking, or if you are a stickler about the
rules and pointing out anything that you find disagreeable, then this group is
not for you.
Rules: This group will be using the new D&D 5E rules. I will
keep things simple and manageable, relying mostly on the basic rules as a
starting point. We will use the Player’s Handbook and other books as needed to
round out character creation and to help our campaign grow and evolve.
We will be generally faithful to the 5E rules, but I will
reserve the right to make judgment calls, interpretations, and adjustments in
the interest of fun, fairness, keeping things moving, and maintaining realism.
NOTE: Evil
characters or transformations into evil characters are outlawed. All characters
must be neutral or good, and we are looking to form a cohesive group of PCs who
are compatible and will not have seriously conflicting interests or beliefs.
Campaign Setting:
We will be using a custom campaign setting, and it will likely evolve and grow as
we move along and as we need to meet the group’s needs. This will be a PG-13
group, so we will not be doing anything particularly dark or controversial. Our intention is to feature a good balance between role
playing and roll play. This is not a sandbox
game where anything goes, but we also want to leave room for improvisation and
flexibility.
How to Apply: Post a message here or send me a PM with your age, an introduction, and some background
to help us understand why you are a good fit for the group.
