Looking to start a Sunday Night game to broadcast on Twitch. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

Edited 1380054047
I'd like to start up a Sunday Night D&d 4th edition live stream game on Twitch. I would be acting as the DM so there is no worry about that. What I would need to find are 2 things. The first is a player that would act as the host for the twitch account. While I would do it myself I have noticed that it looks better from a players perspective as opposed to the DM's as you see a lot of the stuff going on in the background that take some of the magic out of it. The second thing would be additional players to make up the rest of the party. Now with that said any potential players would need to meet some requirements. A webcam would not be necessary as I find it takes away from the play area and some days I don't feel like shaving or looking prestentable lol. What they would need is a decent internet connection (preferably not a wireless connection), a decent or better mic seeing as audio quality matters. With that said they would also have to have little to no background noise as that distracts and takes away from the sound quality. Last but not least would be the willingness to rp, I am not a fan of players that don't say a lot during a session or whom merely blindly follow the rest of the party. While it is possible to have a character that is a follower they tend to have a pretty interesting personality and not just "some brooding loner" type. The group would start off with a published adventure so that we could all get used to each other and the like but then would branch out into homebrew stuff. Now many may be reading this and asking themselves "Why should we let you run a game?" That is a good question, which I will answer by stating I have a power level over 9000. In all seriousness I've been a DM/GM for over a decade, I love to joke around and keep a semi-serious attitude during the game (I'll probably be the first to de-rail the session in a joke). I also love to create stories that not only draw the characters in but also reflect on their characters past / stuff that happened in previous sessions. I would like to stay away from players whom are rules lawyers as some creatures/events/situations in my game will not follow the conventional rules and having to stop and argue/explain why stuff is happening this way just takes something away from the magic of the game and of course slows it down. So if this appeals to you let me know. Once I get a group put together the game would start two weeks or two Sundays later.
Oh I should note that the reason it would start two weeks after the group is formed is because I prefer to have the first session be dedicated to character creation and to serve as a meet and greet.

Hrmm it ate my post. I am hoping to have the game start around 7pm EST
I'd be very interested in this. I'm a bit rusty and know 3.5 but it seems like exactly the kind of game I've been looking for. A game that can be mostly serious but doesn't mind letting the crazy dwarf do something really crazy and fun sometimes. What kind of timezone and time are you looking at for Sunday night and how long would the sessions be?
It ate my post but I delved into its mouth to retrieve it once more. I am not to certain how well someone that doesn't know the system would fit in but I am not going to say no right away. Also for an example to those interested on the kind of player I am looking for please take a moment to check out this informative link. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/361876/10-ways-to-be-a-better-online-gamer#post-362189" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/361876/10-ways-to-be-a-better-online-gamer#post-362189</a>
I'm interested and have the time to play. Have rolled up a few characters in 3.5 before. What books are you allowing/disallowing?

Well i would be up for playing if you want a brit :D. Edit: Should say pretty nooby but have played a bit of 4e, also what books are allowed/disallowed?
I think 1-2 weeks is plenty of time for me to study and learn the 4e system and your rulesets. I use voice coms on a nightly basis through mmorpgs and other games I play online and com discipline and politeness should be expected from players in my opinion. Using a push to talk program over skype(which picks up everything) makes it much easier to manage as well. Having a fun but well mannered group makes me even more interested. I'd love to play with you.
Ok just so there is no confusion this is not a 3.5 game but a 4th edition game. Also we would be using skype to communicate as I've found it provides the best quality for recording.
I would like to play but i have actually never played before lol but if you don't mind that then i would love to join youre world
Still interested, even if it's 4e. I have a bit less experience ith that one but I have rolled up a character once or twice in it. Campaign never got off the ground though.
I'd like to get in on this. I'm a brand new player but I have the player's handbook 1, a headset with mic, and I've been studying up on gameplay and the rules for a couple weeks now. I have a level one character rolled up already, but I can make another, especially if y'all are going to do it together.
Alright so I have the host/player as well as two other players picked out. That means I am currently looking for 2 more players that have experience playing 4th edition but as mentioned are not rules lawyers.
Again, would love to play. Have some experience playing 4e with a home-brewed version using PHB 1-3. I have an old character that i can nerf to a starting lvl 1 (Half-orc monk), but that would be up to you
I think he culled us Tom

I am definately interested in this. I DM'ed two 4e campaigns, but never participated as a player outside of a couple of one-offs. A couple of questions though. First question, How flexible can you be on missing sessions? I travel for work occasionally, so I might be traveling on a sunday night. I can usually guarentee a weeks notice at least. Second Question, how long are you planning on sessions lasting? 3 hours? 5 hours? until the sun comes up? I am in Chicagoland, so 7pm Eastern works great for me, but I also need to get up in the morning. -Ken
Did you guys check your site Pm's? That's how he contacted me about my questions.
We get the -2 penalty for being male unfortunately.
Totally interested. but i really want to know ur timeline im on CDT. Im not rule-lawyer and im really open to everything that will allow more RP. I like combat but i prefer going deeper into characters role. Whatever makes the session flow and easier for everyone is fair.
Sorry guys, was recording my podcast game. Sessions would run for 4-5 hours 7pm-11pm or midnight EST. I also understand that people have lives and if we miss some sessions for that reason that is cool. Shit happens man. I will be answering questions in PM's now. :D
Little more information about the game. The players would be starting out at level 1 as it is nice to hear a story of how the group comes together and rises up. I would also like to try and have the game be one in which the players are playing good characters. All to often games turn into a bunch of adventurers trying to become powerful or rich but you don't see that many in which the characters are genuinely good. I think it is always a much better story when the protagonists have moral conflicts about stuff rather than the "kill em all and don't care bout nothing" mentality that unaligned characters have.
I still have the two spots open so it is still a first come first serve kinda basis.
Only one spot left!
i might be intrested
ahh nm actualy sorry i dont have a good set of 4 e books
I'd like to express interest in joining this if there is still a spot open. While I have only been the DM of 4e and never took the role of a player, I am very interested in the same things you are looking for in a session, such as character development through means of RP, as well as being a bit lax on the rules. My only concerns are the following: I run a session every Saturday night, sometimes we move the night to Sunday due to RL issues from my players, so there would be potential for me having to miss a night or two every blue moon in order to lead my session. My other concern is that you may hate halflings. :P
I have filled all the slots. Those that have been selected will be receiving a message from in regards to the info. Those that don't I thank you for your interest.
