Looking for a Critical Role style D&D 5e campaign! Critters!! Answer the call!

Calling all Critters!!! alrighty so i'm brand new to table top pen and paper RPGs. I got into a group for a 3.5e monster hunter homebrew campaign as of right now we've only played our first day a week ago. that's the extent of my actual personal experience. I've watched quite a bit of Critical Role and find it looks a lot more fun than what i'm currently playing, even tho that monster hunter version is pretty fun. i was hoping i could find some critters who would want to start up a critical role style 5e campaign with me. I'm no DM so we would need one. my schedule would be any day other than friday from 6pm EST to 2am EST

I have also started watching them and it has been amazing! I would love to join a group with that kind of passion and play style, any particular night/time you are looking for in particular?  I have most weeknights open besides Tuesday but Tuesday during the day is free for me.

my schedule would be any day other than friday from 6pm EST to 2am EST. edited the post to pop that into there. forgot xD

I'm also down for a few games. A relatively new player, but i'm ready to learn.

I'd be interested as well, but the key questions are when you'd aim to play and if you have a DM.

Looks like Monday, Wednesday or Thursday night, and still no DM yet

i'm glad 3 people already interested! this is awesome. lets hope maybe 1 more person and someone who would be willing to DM this comes around :D

I love Critical Role. I'd be very interested in being a part of a critical rolesque type of a game. I'm not a GM either but am Interested none the less. I would be available mon-thurs.

Does any of us know how to make a group finder posting? i've tried in the past but i did it wrong and a mod messaged me having me delete it lol

Hi, just wanted to throw in I'd also be interested. I'm new but I've been reading the guides for both 5e & pathfinder, a feel like I'm getting an idea of things. My free times right now are kind of late Wednesday & Thursday majority of the day. 

Playing and finding a DM such as Matt on Critrole would be rather challenging as he is a talented voice actor and has played DnD for years and knows the system very well very few that I have seen have a knack for that kinda of DM skill. Matt does a ton of RPing and slides in a bit of comedy not to mention the PCs are just as skilled if not more so of actors and are quite skilled at improv and coming up with voices. Not saying this is an impossible feat but you will have to understand the game fairly well to get that kind of game started. In addition, all of you as PCs will need to do a fair amount of RPing yourselves and find a DM who is evermore skilled at this style of RP story telling. If you guys try the LFG option and this post your chances of finding a DM like that would increase especially if they know they have good RPers and comedic PCs. Happy gaming!

Thank you for that comment SARCknight. i'm definatly down to go ham on the RP. though i am still very new to the game.

What exactly do you expect out of a "Critical Role Style" campaign?

i'd like to use the rule set they use, a similar mix of rp exploration and combat. i'd love for everyone to have microphone and face cam, i dont want to have to communicate with typing and reading. i feel like that would remove some of the immersion. definatly 5e

I think I can make one. Key word is think.

I have a couple campaign ideas which could fit what you might be looking for. I've been watching the show for quite awhile and try to give my players an experience that is their story  as opposed to the story of the world. Do PM me if you happen to be interested and we can discuss a few details. I work off of Eastern Time and am currently free the entire week. I'd have to dig out my webcam, but I have a pretty sure idea on where it is.

I didn't look at the author of the topic when I clicked on this but it looks like we meet again, Curtis M! XD If you've got room for one more I'd love to join. Typically free nights after 9pm EST, I tend to do art streams on weekends but I can shuffle things around if it's needed. Don't have a webcam right now but might get one soon.

Hey guys, love critical role and if this campaign is indeed happening i have a character i've been wanting to play, hopefully she'll find a home soon lol.

Looks like this is really starting to come together! So just to clarify, are you saying you would be willing to DM Rocky?

To reiterate, I would be willing to DM for this, I'd just need to speak with the main one asking for such a thing, a few details which would need to go over due to some circumstances on my end, is all.

If this is happening I'd love to play! I'm a long time Critical Role fan and I DM regularly for a group of friends, but would love to get to play for a change! 

wow look at all the people!! BTW everyone, you dont need a webcam, its just something i would prefer. so yea rocky i would love for that to happen. everyone else thats keeping track of this thread here stay put dont think this isnt going to happen because obviously it is. i would like to talk to rocky a bit privately to figure out what shall happen with this.

Im going to be extremely bored since im going to be on Rear D while my unit deploys (im in the army) and i will also be recovering from surgery soon. Not the most expereinced player but i do rather enjoy the game.

I would be available weekly sometimes daily if need be. And decently flexible schedule Especially while ill be on recovery for surgery so I am defenitely down to play as a serious part of the team  

One question/request: can we do Homebrew?

After a little bit of discussion, it seems like I won't be able to pull together a campaign due to some recent real life issues. I'll keep my eyes and ears out on the forums for DMs and send them this way. Fingers crossed you get to finding what you all are looking for. Game on.

Hey, would everyone currently keeping up with this want to add each other on some kind of chat, talk about what we would want out of the game, and then maybe post to find a group looking for a dm? (Also if you're still checking up here, I hope everything's alright, Rocky.)

raven, we can just use this form if we need to.  Anyway, I'm going to post this to r/lfg to see if someone will answer the call there.

Is there a way I can listen in and watch?  I love CR but have never ever played pnp d&d I have zero expirience and wouldn't want to slow down your game play but I would love to listen and watch if that's even possible.

Okay, the statute of limitations on the other guys i offered to DM for is officially over. Dudes, I would love to DM for you. I have my own world for you guys to explore named Cael, I do homebrew within reason, and I'd love to put it live so everyone can watch it and stuff. I'll note that my stuff tends to be experimental, I fly by the rule of cool and let you do what makes sense/bad ass. I don't say "How do you want to do this," i just take the attack you said you did and crank it to 11. That being said, this group is already quite large, although there's enough people who claim to be DMs that there will be side games occurring. (One thing i know about DMs is that they cant help but DM; story crafting is in their blood) I'll note that any side game will reward full XP and items retained, plus rewards for the DM. My plan to DM this group is to (Okay, hear me out) have multiple calls to adventure at the start of a session; and although all groups are out adventuring, we only follow one. Consider it like watching Critical role, but with a chance to play. You'd play as members of an organization, the exact goals of which differ from member to member, and the theme and tone of the campaign vary depending on who's playing. So, the main take away is: when you come to a game, dont let yourself get upset if you're not in the story, and enjoy watching your teammates play. There will be a system in play that will have players who haven't played in a while get to play, and i'll try and make it as fair as possible (Similar to DKP). This is of course, negotiable, but its my favorite solution so far.  My best availability is Wednesdays, either after work or when i wake up: Noon or 8pm (I work nights) in the MST time zone. If what I offered sounds good to you, you can send me a PM and I'll invite you to the game.

I'm in the same boat as you! i've only played 1 days worth of 3.5e never played 5e and thats my only experience so we're both pretty much brand spanking new to this. i think you should give it a shot! dont have to just watch lol Also, i've been talking to another DM in private messages. so we definatly have multiple DMs to run campaigns and hopefully get everyone who's posted on this thread a game they can play. as for me i think im going to stick with this other DM, no offense to you John H. i just dont think this solo adventure style thing is for me personally, but i hope you get a group of people from this thread who want to give that a shot! good luck!! This other DMs schedule is weekends after 8pm EST and week days after 11:30pm EST. I'm aiming for a weekend so that we can start at like 8pm but that is all up to discussion.

Alright, the times are okay for me! Looking forward to it!

I am in if you guys just let me know when and how lol

Is there any DM interested in something like this around European time? :)

Hey, guys, a DM here. I don't know if this is tacky or not but my current listing is very heavily influenced by Critical Role and a lot of how Mercer Dm's is how I tend to do things. If anyone is interested in applying to a homebrew fantasy DnD 5e game you guys can definitely check it out here!

Id love to give this a go as well, im fairly new i have a tiny bit of experience with 5e but im no DM. But message me if we can get something together as im pretty free.
