[LFM][D&D5e]First-Time DM Looking for Adventurers!

Hello, Given that you're reading this, I can only assume that you're interested in joining me for an amazing adventure! Providing full disclosure, I'll tell you that I have never DMed a game before. In fact, I've hardly ever really played the game. My interest arose weeks ago and I have since purchased the Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide. I have some knowledge about how the game works and I'd really love to try and run a game with a few of you in hopes of not only learning more about the game, or increasing my experience as a DM for future games, but also to have an exciting time full of laughs, tears, and cheers. If I've held your interest this long, let me begin to tell you the further details of the game I'm trying to run. Adventure/Campaign: Lost Mines Of Phandelver (If this is sucessful, I'm more than willing to continue on to different adventures and keep this campaign going!) Number Of People Required:       4.      I regret to inform that it would simply be too chaotic evil (Heh heh, Alignment joke) for me to run a game with more than 4 people, as well as being completely overwhelming. Times Available: Tuesdays and Wednesdays work best for me seeing as I always have those 2 days off from work. I live in the CDT timezone, but I'm able to wake up early or stay up late for accommodation of my players, so any time during those 2 days. Also, I'd like to make this a weekly event, but I'm also open to making it fortnightly. How You Can Join: If you would like to partake in this adventure/learning experience with me, all that I ask is that you leave a comment on this post with a brief description of your own experience, your schedule (So that I can better work out an exact time), and also just about who you are as a person ( Just because I'd like us all to continue playing as a group of friends if everything turns out golden). You can also PM me with the same information if that works better for you. Requests: I ask that you please do not use homebrew characters or try to multiclass. I'm trying to get the base game down first and then I'd be able to better handle the more advanced things, haha. Also, everyone will be starting at level 1 with characters they roll for with me in the VTT, just for my own piece of mind that no one is trying to play a character with 18 for all of their ability scores (If you roll that in front of me, I will commend you with a slow clap and a lone tear rolling down my cheek in approval). Extra Notes: Again, I'll reiterate that I am still fairly new to the game so I may slip up on something, but I assure you that I will give this game my greatest effort in hopes of having a great time and building stories to tell to my grandchildren years from now. :)
I am actually running the mines campaign starting tonight at 11:45 pm pst(late nighter) If you would like to sit on on the game to play a npc, play a character or just want to hang out you are more then welcome. I have been dm'in for a bit now and I can share some tips I have found to make a game run a bit smoother.
I'll put my interest here as well as on the reddit thread. I have experience with 5e, Pathfinder and GURPS over about 15 years, (earlier D&D editions previously) though I've only recently gotten back into it. I'm good with Tuesday, though I work Wednesdays so I wouldn't be able to play then. I'd like to play a Warlock, have been playing with a character idea for a little while now. As for me, I'm in my mid 20s and like to play with similar age groups, simply due to roleplaying. Younger players tend to just want to kill anything and everyone, story or character driven decisions be damned. I'm happy to help with the rules if we run into hiccups, I'm pretty familiar with the system.  If you think you have a place for me let me know, thanks!
I would be interested in joining. I hvae always been interested in D n D but have very little experience actually playing it though. I have watched videos on youtube and understand how the game works. I am based in the UK so time difference may be an issue.

I'll play an NPC so as not to mess with your campaign. :) Tanz said: I'll put my interest here as well as on the reddit thread.

You seem like a fun person to play with as well! I'll send you a PM with some contact information. :) Tony R. said: I would be interested in joining.

The list is filling up much faster than I had expected and as much as I'd love to play with all of you, as I said before, it'd be too difficult and overwhelming for that. So I will be conducting Skype Interviews (Or Discord) to get a better idea of who I'm playing with. I want to make sure everyone will be kind and treat each other with respect, above all else. :)
Sounds great! Look forward to the PM and next steps.
Hey man im a newbie but i will join to if i can
Elijah G. said: Hey man im a newbie but i will join to if i can Hey man! Thank you for your interest. I personally know how hard it is for newbies to get out there lol. Send me a PM with your contact info. (Preferably Skype or Discord)
I'm not a newbie, but I'd love to join. I'm available all day on Tuesdays. I can play whatever class you need to fill in a gap. Never have completed this campaign.
Hey Darius, good luck tonight.  I just saw your reply in my thread from a few days ago.  Thanks for that.

Hey. I'm interested in joining. I have a lot of DM experience in Pathfinder, but no experience in 5E. Do you have a time slot in mind?

At the moment, I have so many people interested that I have to conduct interviews to narrow down my selection and work on a good time. PM me your contact info? :) Matt E. said: Hey Darius, good luck tonight.  I just saw your reply in my thread from a few days ago.  Thanks for that. Hey man! If you're available to play at the available time on Tuesday, I'd love to have you! Of course, you'd have to be interviewed along with everyone else. :P PM me your contact info if interested? :) Kyle K. said: Hey. I'm interested in joining.

Hey there! Welcome to the GM community! I'm looking for a game to join and yours looked like a good one to start off with. I'm looking to try out a Fire druid, but I can play anyone you need me to.

I'm looking to try out a Fire druid, but I can play anyone you need me to. Hey Hog! Thank you for the welcome man! At the moment, due to the simply incredibly unexpected interest in this game, I'm going to have to cease to accept applications. (Although if someone doesn't work out or things go south, I will be looking through all the applications again to see if anyone will still be interested.)  There is talk in the works of possibly running a second campaign, but I don't want to make any definite plans.  I'd like to say thank you to all that applied and I am truly sorry that I couldn't accept all of you. Best wishes, and happy gaming. :)
messaged you my skype info
