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

So we are a group of 6 people who are interested in playing 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 4 pm EST (10 GMT) (slightly flexible) Must be flexible with homebrewing Must be good with communicating with players MUST BE AWESOME!

How much homebrew are we talking about besides the races?

That's hardly a helpful attitude; me, I love text-based games for various reasons, and I'd be willing to DM if my Saturdays weren't already occupied and I was better-versed in 5e. Bubu, you might find more luck if you joined and advertised here: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/18465/knights-o" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/18465/knights-o</a>... It's a loose group that deals mainly with text-based games; you might well find a suitable DM in there. Good luck, either way.

You said they were silly for being shy... But DualKatanas is on the right idea, there is a small market (as opposed to none) for text only games. &nbsp;And the fact that you let the GM do voice (some remove this aspect...) makes it much more appealing to GMs then text only for everyone. &nbsp; You might have to wait a little while for games to befit each of your criteria, so I would recommend maybe letting some of them be more flexible. &nbsp;Also, worse case scenario, one of you should maybe run a mini-campaign for the others, just to pass time until you find a GM.

I understand, we will try to figure something out. I think that there wont be a problem with GM using voice. Sadly half of our group including me aren't native english speakers. Im confident enough to communicate with written language, but Im afraid we would slow things greatly if we had to speak. I'm not saying this wont change in the future but for the starters text would be preferable. Thank you for your help :)
