Looking for text-based group

Hello, I heard there are some text-based servers out there. I am new to texted-based game play. I really want to give it a shot. Not looking for anything specific. Hoping to see what is out there. :)  Thank you in advance.
I may have something for you, 5e (proper 5e, not the new thinly-disguised 6e). Here's a few details... 1)  Text Game.  This is usually the main deal-breaker for a lot of folk, so getting it out of the way first. I run my games by text, not voice/video. Sounds like this one won't be an issue for you... 2)  Alternate  Saturdays at 11:00 AM Pacific Time (So I think 2PM Eastern?). Due to my schedule this game runs every two weeks. I used to run five games weekly, but I'm six months post-stroke and still recovering; I've been forced to cut back, so my two Saturday and Sunday games were dialed back to every other week. Next game, Feb 1. 3) Home brew game, but set in the published setting of Tal'Dorei, from Critical Role. If you're familiar, we're about 13 years past the Chroma Conclave, with enough of our own history that most of the later events in Critical Role's games won't happen, or at least not the same way. I don't expect extensive knowledge of the world, but there are a few details characters can't not know, so I expect players to use google to get up to speed on if they don't know. For ex, everyone knows about the Chroma Conclave , so a player needs to look that up if they don't know, and decide how much/little they may know, and what - if any - experience they had on the edges of that situation. I call out those details in  Bold Italics  so players know they are things to make sure they're up to speed on. Googling these terms should bring a cornucopia of data to pick and choose from. 4) Shared World. This game is one of three concurrent games I run in this setting. Events from one can and have affected the other two, and likely will again. Some of the crews have even met in rare crossover sessions! 5) The above-mentioned stroke recovery CAN mean missing a session on short notice. That hasn't happened in months, but I'd be a fool to discount the possibility. It also means I type slower, with a few more typos. Text is a slow medium, and we all accept or even prefer it, but I'm a bit slower than that. 6) Also the usual disclaimer: All my games AND my discord server to support the games are as inclusive as possible. Anyone with an issue with that should find elsewhere to be. If all that hasn't turned you away, LMK with a DM. I'm happy to further discuss  The Brass Dragon Circus and Traveling Sideshow .
Hello! Same issue here, I'd like to join a text-based game as well, but haven't found anything yet, so if you're successful in your finding, can you invite me, please? Or we can embark on this journey together lol
