Greetings, Our Circus seeks one or two players for some tier 3 play.
I'm returning to the GM Screen after about seven months away due to a
serious medical issue, and have had trouble keeping the group coherent after the time away. More than one player bowed out or found something else to do while I was out of commission. The in-game situation will need finessing to get
new characters in, but we're
eager for any arcane or divine aid you might bring. System: D&D 5e (2014) Format: Roll20 every other week (written word only; no voice). We use Discord for OOC discussions and communications between sessions. Timezone: GM is in Pacific (currently Standard) Time Zone Schedule: Every other week on Saturdays (11:00 AM to ~3:00 PM). Next game Feb 1. Game style: Heavy on story and character development. Smaller Combats, when they occur, are role-played with descriptions, dialogue, and realistic choices Major Battles do use the map and turns, etc. Slow advancement, not for power gamers. Set in the Critical Role's Tal'Dorei. Long-term series has been running since 2019. A little more about us: I'm
an experienced DM, who returned to D&D six years ago after a long
absence where I played a lot of other stuff. My players are all
experienced and mature-minded. About you: You are “mature” (probably over 25, but I gauge on behavior, not calendar). You have time, energy, and enthusiasm to at least check in on the game's discord between sessions. You can be happy role-playing scenes, and can read and abide the more detailed guidelines found here . 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 netspeak such as “ur” instead of “your” when in-character. Use all the slang you like OOC :)
You appreciate complex, dynamic, well role-played NPCs who will act and
react in a 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' poses 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 might be interested, go here
to learn more. There's more detail there, and a forum post with how to
apply. This game is ongoing, so fitting into the existing structure will
be important. I'm more than happy to answer questions as well, here or by PM, but per my guidelines in this thread , all applications must be in the forum so all players can review.
