LF GM - Text-Based, RP Heavy 5e Campaign!

So I've gotten together with a group of 5 other people who are interested in forming a group to play a D&D campaign. Sounds basic enough right? Well this one may be a little unusual because we want it to be a text-only game. I imagine if the DM wants to use voice they may but the players would like to keep to text. This is due in part to some anxiety on our part as well as some of the players being foreign and not comfortable with their spoken english. We are for the most part new to D&D and some of our players are brand new so a patient, helpful DM would be very appreciated as well. We are all very strongly into character interaction and development and while we would like some combat we want mostly a story-driven game. Someone willing to homebrew something up for us and our unique, quirky characters would be the most ideal (we may have a satyr and a centaur as players!) If you're willing to work with us and keep things loose and fun I think we could get a really fun and interesting story going while still staying within the basic mechanics of the game. I think we are a really fun and very creative bunch We would like the game to be run on the weekend, preferably a Saturday evening. Reply below or leave me a PM if you're interested! We will of course want to talk to you as a group before making any decisions~ Summary of deets: DM needed for 5e D&D Game. 6 players Text-only (DM voice optional) Roleplay/story heavy Played on Sat night after 5pm EST (11 GMT) (slightly flexible) Must be flexible with homebrewing Must be good with communicating with players MUST BE AWESOME!

You should probably update with a timezone.

Sorry Philip, I don't think it'll work out. Original post now updated with time zone. Thank you, Brian.

Let me know if you don't find a suitable DM and want to get your game going. I will consider running a game for you if you can handle my requirements, which are: The Text portion of the Players I can handle but the players must be able to hear and understand me... Possible stumbling block would be odd character concepts, I would want to stick to the basics as far as character's races and classes... My timezone is CDT (soon to be CST), which is I believe GMT -6, I could start sessions at 4:00 or 5:00 PM my time... I run a highly narrative game with a lot of visuals but have not run a Text Based game yet, I my self do not type fast or well enough to go all text so I would still want to tell the story verbally... As far as experience, I've been running D&D games since the mid seventies and have vast experience with Roll20... I would also require at least 4 but no more that 6 players... I know that these are stringent requirements but it is want I am offering, I hope you find a perfect DM fit for your game but if not let me know... -Ajax

Hello Ajax, thank you for the offer, but I think it would be impossible to work out our time zone differences, also we do have some pretty unusual character concepts. It seems we just have to keep looking. Take care, Bubu

Hello, I'd be interesting in discussing a little more about your campaign. Would it be to contact you via Skype? Having a mostly text-based campaign doesn't bother me in the slightest, so that's always a benefit, and I'd like to think that since you posted an inquiry where you said you had an entire group ready that there would be no dropouts (which is always a pretty big deal for DMs ^.^). I've been a DM for about 5 years now, and prior to that ran many post by post roleplaying threads covering a vast amount of subjects.  I'd be very open to customization and homebrew, and would have no problems talking things over and figuring out how we can brew up those custom races your group is after. 5e in my opinion is a very very  good platform to do this on, and I've done it in the past with races such as a winged elf variant, kobolds and a snow elf variant. So I'd be more than happy to tackle any races you're after.  The timezone would be more than alright with me, if at all possible there's a strong chance it would start more at 6PM EST as I am running another campaign from 1EST to 5 EST, and while I'm always trying my hardest to do things on a weekly basis there are times where I'll have to skip a week, but I'd try my hardest to give a heads up if that occurs. I'd be a bit more comfortable with doing a mixture of talking and writing, just for the sake of keeping things moving at a nice pace, but as you mentioned I'm not sure how well your group members understand English, so we'd probably have to talk about that. I also have a tendency to do voice acting, so just a heads up. Get back to me if you're interested via PM. I'm mostly always on Skype, so if you want that just PM me. 

I'm late to the party on this thread but... If  you're still looking for text DMs or players check out our text group  here ! We're a group of text gamers nearly 400 strong. You're welcome to join and post if you'd like :)
