Looking for Weekly Game Master. Paid. Group has been playing together forever. Daggerheart or 5e (2014) ok. Mondays 7:30-10PM CT.

Salary dependent on experience and qualifications but starting at $100 per session (4-5 players weekly). Send me a bio/resume if interested. Happy to connect over Startplaying, Discord, or another channel for ease of communication/payment, but want to play in Roll20 as we are accustomed it. Game time for us is specfiic and non-negotiable. Monday Night 7:30 to 10:00 PM CT is our slot. We are open to a custom campaign and modules.  Thanks and looking foward to meeting you. 
Hey there, I'd love to hear more about the group. Some questions to start: What types of players are they? Rules lawyers, power gamers, theater kids? Are they proactive or reactive to the DM setting the scene? Do they want to drive the story, or do they want to be walked along a railroad? What type of game are you looking to play? High fantasy, pulp adventure, cosmic horror, political intrigue, etc.? Do they enjoy combat, or are they looking for a more roleplay forward experience? Are your players tactical or cinematic? Do they enjoy grid combat with battlemaps, or prefer a looser, theater of the mind experience? Do they work together to overcome challenges in encounters, combat or otherwise? In previous games, if there was a tense moment and the DM had to make a ruling on the fly, did the players roll with it, or did the game grind to a halt to argue? Any pvp or party conflict? Can all players commit to the majority of sessions? In previous games, have people made the majority of sessions or have you had a lot of callouts? Would you consider your previous games to be closer to "drama with some jokes" or a "comedy with a few serious moments"? I think that's enough to get us started.
I am interested. Private message sent.

This is hilarious as I came here to post about the exact same thing.  Only difference is we start 6:30EST Monday.  Have you had any luck?
I've sent you a message. :)

Answers to DM Ryan questions, though I have a strong suspicion I may be in fact responding to a standard list or AI generated list: What types of players are they? Rules lawyers, power gamers, theater kids?         I don't think anyone fits neatly into a category like that really. One of our players is great with puns. They are all pretty creative. Certainly have players that enjoy build-crafting though I would say it's historically been more niche or gimic oriented that power gaming per se. Are they proactive or reactive to the DM setting the scene? Do they want to drive the story, or do they want to be walked along a railroad?         Our players prefer less railroady adventures and enjoy more freedom as a rule .  What type of game are you looking to play? High fantasy, pulp adventure, cosmic horror, political intrigue, etc.?         Fantasy for sure. Forgotten realms type setting, though it does not have to be that. Do they enjoy combat, or are they looking for a more roleplay forward experience?          They do enjoy combat but certainly enjoy roleplaying too. I think both. Are your players tactical or cinematic?          They are accustomed to more tactical play. They have no objection to cinematic. Do they enjoy grid combat with battlemaps, or prefer a looser, theater of the mind experience?         They are accusomed to battle maps on Roll20 but have no issues with theater of mind. Do they work together to overcome challenges in encounters, combat or otherwise?          Yes. In previous games, if there was a tense moment and the DM had to make a ruling on the fly, did the players roll with it, or did the game grind to a halt to argue?          The crew is definitely of the "roll with it" vibe. Any pvp or party conflict?         No. Can all players commit to the majority of sessions?          Yes, but people will have to miss on occasion for work travel. In previous games, have people made the majority of sessions or have you had a lot of callouts?         We tend to punt and not play unless the whole group is available.  Would you consider your previous games to be closer to "drama with some jokes" or a "comedy with a few serious moments"?         I would say that our party cares a lot about the plot and also makes plenty of jokes. I reject this binary.
Answer to Scot A.: I have had several responses. Working through them.

Hey Hunter, thanks for taking the time to respond. Unfortunately due to some of those answers, I'll have to pass. 
Hello there, my name is Dalon. If you are still looking for a DM for your Monday adventures, I have just the setting for you and your friends. I am even willing to go lower than your recommended rating if that helps! I can send you more details in notes, but please let me know!

Hello HunterS, I'm André, a Dungeon Master for 20+ years. I've taken a look at your answers to other posts, and your preferences work great for me. My DMing style is very laid-back; I tend to set the tone of the game based on the party's needs. Your preferred game time fits my schedule. Your roleplay-to-combat ratio is also a good match for me. Regarding the need to skip some sessions due to other commitments, that's completely fine. (Though I am highly consistent and rarely ever miss a session as a DM, I would just expect the same understanding if I ever need to cancel a game). I have experience running both official modules and homebrew adventures. I'm not sure if you have a preference, but based on your style, an open classic campaign with heavy modifications (using Storm King's Thunder or Tyranny of Dragons as a core base) could be a great fit. Even better, we could do a homebrew adventure tailored to your characters, set in the Sword Coast. I'd be happy to prepare any of these campaigns for you guys. However, there is one detail we would need to discuss. I have very little experience running games on Roll20 (I've mostly used it as a player), as I am way more experienced with FoundryVTT. I would highly prefer running the game on Foundry (keep in mind, Foundry is completely free for players, you wouldn't need to spend a dime or even create an account). But if Roll20 is a absolute must for you, I just ask for a bit of patience since it would be my first time DMing on this platform. My discord is: Thibes6077 feel free to send me a msg or add me there if you want to discuss further
