ABOUT ME I'm
Grass/Grasswalker, 19, from the UK. I don't think I'm the best DM ever
or anything, but having approx 1 year DMing experience (5e) and 6-9
months player experience (also 5e), I also played on a World of Warcraft
Roleplay server for 5+ years and ran a guild + events for them. Up to
date with Critical Role too, and my biggest inspiration as a DM would be
Matt Mercer. WHY IS THIS PAID? Firstly
I'm a relatively poor Uni student who could do with some spare cash if
I'm going to be spending considerable amounts of time creating
encounters, NPCs, a world, a story, items for you, finding maps and will
be available almost 24/7 for questions/discussion/general banter. Secondly
is basic economics, there are more players than there are DMs, and a
majority of DMs are either new, inexperienced, or just kinda shitty.
I've made posts before looking for randoms and had 50+ replies, so I
figure this is a way to both make money and also need to filter through
less PMs. TELL ME ABOUT YOUR CAMPAIGN AND STUFF Honestly
the campaign is most likely to be heavily fantasy based, lots of magic,
and heavily reminiscent of a big mixture between; The Witcher 3 The Elder Scrolls (Oblivion/Skyrim) World of Warcraft My past experience playing DnD The
campaign will not be ran out of a module book, I won't just be reading
from a script, you will have borderline 100% free agency to do anything
as a group, travel anywhere and encounter anything. It will be a healthy
mixture of general combat, "larger encounters" (e.g boss fights), and
Roleplay. Your imagination is the only limit. I WANNA DO COOL THINGS If
there's anything you're dying to be included (e.g Gunslinger
class/Goblin race), twisted, adjusted or involved, just say and I'll try
to incorporate it somehow. I am all ears and actively supporting of
homebrew, though my one condition is that I will remake/restyle and
rebalance it *with* you, so you can't just hand me your link to DnDWiki
and run it exactly as it says, I will work with you to create something
that is relatively balanced and fitting to the campaign. Session 0 where
everyone meets up and creates characters and things will probably be
best to bring these ideas up with the party and see how they like it. EXAMPLES OF MY NON-STANDARD RULES Every
DM has (or should have) a few rules that differ from the handbook, I
have a decent number that I think make sense over the recommended
material. I will give a few examples so you know what you're in for that
might be changed if you do know all the rules already- "Success":
You have to BEAT things in DC/armour class, if you attack and get 13,
and their AC is also 13 you have equally matched their armour, not
beaten it, so I judge these as failed attacks. Should be balanced since
the enemies also have to beat your AC. It's more of a personal
preference thing to be honest and should have minimal if no impact on
life in the game. "Stat checks": Instead of calling
for some checks such as Strength, I will simply ask what your
characters strength stat is and judge the result accordingly - e.g a
barbarian pulling a door off of it's hinges and he has 18 strength vs
making him roll and he rolls a 2(+4). A similar situation exists with
proficiencies and expertises, if you have an expertise in medicine and
your background is based on you being a doctor, you might auto-pass
checks involving stabilizing friends. "Attunement":
Instead of having a total maximum of 3 items attuned you can have any
number of items 'attuned' but each one requires a 'slot'. For example
you cannot be attuned to two different cloaks, or three different pairs
of boots. THAT'S ALL SUPER NEAT, HOW DO I JOIN? If
that all sounds nice and dandy, I would like you to effectively fill in
a form and send it to me if that's alright with you. Don't feel the
need to lie on any question, a lack of DnD experience will not cost you
at all. Try not to make answers too lengthy, I will be skim-reading
these. If you're interested I require from you - Your name/nickname/alias: Age: Your time-zone: Your DnD experience: Your favourite class/race (if any): What days/nights you are free to play: I'm free Tues/Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun. Your ideal magic item: What kind of split you enjoy in a game: RP (30%), Combat (40%), Party Downtime/Chatting (10%), Looting (20%) Your
Skype username: (So I can add you to talk, though I'd be open to using
Discord or Teamspeak or something for games Skype is ideal for me) How much you'd be willing to pay per session/timeframe: If you'd prefer to play weekly/fortnightly/monthly: Your favourite animal: Themes inside the game you would like to avoid: Any other preferences/notes you'd like me to know: You can also send this to me on reddit, /u/Grasswalker, but if you don't know what that is send it via Roll20. "This game will
require payment for my time as a Game Master at a rate of (?). Be advised that payment will occur off site via
