Anyone want an assistant DM?

Hi, I really enjoy DM'ing, but am struggling to commit to set times and the preparation needed for online play.  So what I am looking for is a DM who is running a game and who needs a hand with some assistance...plus someone who really wants to share the details that they just can't tell their players. I have a lot of experience with D&D 3.5, but am relatively new to 5th Ed - though my role as assistant can generally be sytem agnostic, but I prefer fantasy. I enjoy map making (world, local and tactical maps) & deep story arcs. I am newish to roll20 though, and just had a group that had really just started, but lost patience with me taking the time to learn and bailed (and i was just getting to grips with the interface and was going to get some main story arcs dropping in too...) - so maybe a blow to the ego - let me help someone who is more experienced...or hell, just shoot the shit about the plans and designs that you are just itching to talk about. I am 40 years old, and have been playing on and off since i was 10 years old.  Would prefer a mature DM to assist. Cheers Matt
Sorry to hear your first attempt didn't go as planned. Don't sweat it man, happens all the time. How do you feel about GURPS? It's the only system I bother with anymore. I don't have much time to play these days but I still write adventures off and on and am working on developing my GMing howto process that I hope to someday turn into a manual/book. I may be running a one-shot for a GURPS newcomer and could maybe use an accomplice. I am a 36 year old family man with zero spare time it seems and 26 years of roleplaying experience (since I was 10 also). If nothing else we can shoot the s**t if no one more interesting replies here for you. Either way good luck man.
Ive never had the chance to use GURPS, but it has a loyal fan base, so i'm guessing theres a quality there.  Likewise, i'm a family man with no spare time, so maybe a chat could work and we could put our heads together to see what is possible in collaboration. I'm in New Zealand, so about 7 hours behind EST, but a calendar day ahead.
Dang yes I am in EST Canada so that 7h time difference may be a killer lol.

Sucks with a group that wasn't willing to cut you some slack in the beginning. But I'm sure you will find more people here. :) This community is filled with good and friendly gamers. (And a few bad apples)
At the moment I have plenty of time during my day, but little time in my evenings - which works out pretty well for dealing with people on EST
