[LFP] D&D 5E; Bi-Weekly on Saturdays; 7-hours of play w/ 30-minute break; EST; 3 to 5 players

Hello Fellow Roll20 Gamers, I've been switching off GMing duties for our in-person group with a friend about every six months for the last couple years. I'm not into his current campaign so my RPG time is open until June or July this year. I want to set up an online group to play on Roll20 for when I'm not GMing my in-person group. We would use Skype for voice. Any seven-hour block of time between 8am-11pm EST can work for me on Saturdays. This would be every other Saturday starting Feb 4th. Occasionally, I may need to reschedule due to family responsibilities, but I would always give advance notice. I've GMed for over 30 years in a variety of games. I lean towards a narrative style of play and enjoy a balance of roleplaying, combat, and exploration scenes. My preference is to play in my own campaign setting that I want to develop at the game table together with the players. I know this matters to some players, so here are the allowed races and classes/sub-classes for the setting from the PHB: Races: Human from Theylla (+1 all abilities and 1 Feat), human from Earth (+1 all abilities and Resistance to magic), half-orc, half-elf, tiefling, and aasimar. Classes: Barbarian, Druid, Fighter (no Eldritch Knight), Monk (no Four Elements), Ranger, Rogue (no Arcane Trickster), Sorcerer (only Wild Magic and wild magic surges on rolls of 1 or 2), and Warlock (the pact will be a roleplaying element in the game, usually to the character's displeasure). The World of Theylla I want to develop with the players is a mix of Sword & Sorcery and Mythic flavors of fantasy as mentioned in the DMG.  Thank you! Laz

Hey I am new to 5e but if you're willing to accept new players id be open! I have played pathfinder before so im not 100 new to RPings and DnD

Welcome aboard, Josh! One down, at least two more to go. :) The first session on 2/4 will be for creating the characters and talking about the type of adventures the group likes. What time frame are you available on Saturdays in EST? Thanks, Laz

Hello! I have little experience in D&D 3.5 and 5e (i've played one game, read the basic manual and watched others play it on Youtube). I live in Europe, but i'd be able to play until 9 or 10pm on Saturdays. The starting time does not matter, but earlier would be better obviously.

I would definitely be interested, I love long sessions! I'm free all day Saturdays within reasonable hours (CST), and I'm super familiar with DnD 5th edition both as a DM and PC.

Welcome Kaneever and ADDnD, Okay, so we've got three! :) I'm PMing with another three that can only play a four hour session. They want to chat with me first so I'll do that and see if our play styles mesh. If it does, we've got six. If not, we'll start with three and can keep slots open for a couple more. I'll keep you posted on this. For a four hour session we just need make the time like at least 90% playing. I'll send you both and Josh an invite to the game in PM later this week.  Thank you! Laz

Awesome, looking forward to the campaign!

Hey, if you're still looking for players I'm interesten in joining. I live in Europe (GMT+1), but your mornings will be my afternoons so it won't be a problem. I have played a few different RPGs in my time, 1st, 3rd and 3.5 of D&D, Vampire: The Masquerade, WHFRPG 2nd edition and a couple of obscure Swedish RPGs. I haven't played D&D 5E yet, but I've seen a few videos where people use the ruleset and it seems like a solid one. - Tore Nesvåg

Cool, i'm excited for the DnD! It would be great if we could get the long play sessions

Hey Laz, I'd be interested in playing if you're okay with another newbie to Roll20. I've played 3.5 for 2-3 years, and tinkered around with 5e. I've played a bit of pathfinder as well.

Hello Tore and Min, I'm waiting to talk to a group of three friends that contacted me earlier. If it doesn't work out with them, you two will be the final two for a group of five. I'll let you know. Thank you so much for the interest! Laz

Hey Tore and Min, Looks like I'll be talking to the trio of buddies tomorrow night so I'll let you know this Friday if I can add you two. Thank you! Laz

Greeting Laz i am a newbie to both 5e and to the site i have made character sheets for my brother when he was a DM so i understand some stuff

I will be available on the 11th of February. I will play any roll within the group and I am very cooperative and friendly. If you are able to fit me in, you will get an interesting character-both in and out of game-and exceptionally interesting stories of my time on the road. Thank you for reading.

Hello Fellow Roll20 Gamers, Looks like I got 5-6 players! I sent PM notifications accordingly. If there is any change, I'll post it here. Thank you to everyone that posted their interest. Laz
