Looking for a group D&D 5e - beginner friendly - My timezone: GMT+2

Hello there :) I'm Janus, 51 and looking to get back into D&D. Have played quite a lot of AD&D 2nd Ed years back, and am now looking to join a group to play D&D 5E (open to AD&D 2nd Ed as well). Even if I have experience, it is so long ago, that I would consider myself a beginner again. I prefer a group around my timezone (GMT+2). Otherwise I also prioritise: - Friendly, relaxed and inclusive environment - Focus on story, combat, fun and campaigns - Playing in English - Can play over video or voice only

What time in your timezone are you available and what days?

Hi Nicodemus. Thanks for asking, I'll just send you a PM.

Hello Janus! This may seem like a strange way to approach D&D but personally once I tried it out I was hooked for two years straight so far across a handful of campaigns. We have been working on this project now since May 2025 with no signs of slowing down, I'd love to introduce you to the West Marches style of D&D! The Aurora Point Institute is a West Marches styled campaign that has been running for the last year and a half with over 70 active adventurers. We have an overarching World Story that updates every 2 months with 'World Events' and each chapter ending with a 'World Event Mission' that includes as many adventurers as possible over a series of games played over a weekend usually. Outside of the World Story there are dozens of DM Run Stories & Plotlines throughout the world of Aspirion, the stories interweaving and working together to build a wild and flourishing world for you to explore through an expansive text-rp world. So even if you only have 30m to play during the week you can Roleplay your character interacting with others, purchasing gear, progressing plot points, or just sitting back and enjoying a drink at the Institute's all-inclusive restaurant. A player-driven game listing system allows you to post a game listing for a time and a level that work for you and let others join up! We have games during both AM & PM all week long with investments into both PBP & roll20 + Discord VC as mediums. I think that the flexibility of finding games and roleplaying your character will be a massive boon for your playstyle! You can use our forum post here to navigate to our discord server as you wish!
