LFG [5e] Group of 5 long time friends looking for a DM for the longhaul. We are all NEW players with 0 experience.

    So a little background.  For starters, we all have no D&D experience so we need someone with patience and willing to help us learn.  If this isn't something you're interested in, you can stop reading now, if this you're still here thanks!  On to the rest of our story.        As i stated we all have no D&D experience.  I have about 3 sessions of tabletop experience on another platform about 20 years ago.  Other than that we are all fresh as can be.  We're a group of long time friends all going back at least 10 years.  We all served together in the military.  Since then we have been gaming together, i.e. WoW, Minecraft, LoL, HoTS, and many other games.  We're laid back and like to have fun, but we're all in our mid thirties so maturity shouldn't be an issue.  We got turned on to D&D watching critical role and we all found that it would be something we were interested in persuing.     We're looking for something every other week, possibly once a week.  Approximate day/time Mon-thurs starting 7-8 EST, but we're flexible.  We don't mind if you're an experienced DM or a new one.  We're just wanting to get our feet wet in this exciting new world.  Obviously, an experienced DM would be best as we will need some guidance on the way, but we're open to all takers.  We do have players who want to play a goblin from the D&D homebrew site, and another who would like to play a drow elf.  It would be preferable to have a DM who will allow those races, but they're not opposed to drafting up different characters if need be.   We're willing to put in the work.  We've been working on our characters/backgrounds/back stories and how we all met in the universe for months now.  Please drop us a line if this is something you're interested.  We'd like to start sometime in the new few weeks.

I'm a very experienced GM and Roll20 user. I've got two long-term campaigns and a monthly Fiasco group going now. I think a group of 5 people who are very comfortable together because they have known each other for 10 years could make for a very high energy, dynamic game. I am intrigued ... Questions: Including a goblin and drow in the party means you probably want to play an evil party. Why? Do you want to play in the Forgotten Realms or another world? Has anyone in your group read the 5e Players' Handbook? If I DM for 4 months and then want to turn DMing duties over to one of you and leave the group, is anyone in your group willing to read the Dungeon Masters Guide while I am DMing? Cheers!
Thanks for the reply Sterling! I sent you a PM but long story short, we don't plan on playing an evil party and we've written a backstory into how these characters developed into non-evil versions of their race.  The rest of the questions are answered in the PM.  Thanks again!
