Hello Roll20 Community, My name is zerosius, and i would like to offer my services as a Paid DM specifically aimed at new players that find it hard to get into a game on the website to learn the basics of D&D and 5e specifically. I want to start a campaign utilizing the introductory adventure "The Lost Mine of Phandelver" , and open it up to any new players trying to learn the ropes. Next to actually playing through the campaign, i will be there to patiently explain the mechanics and basics of D&D 5e as we progress through our epic adventure, and will be always available to guide the players through their first epic venture into the world of D&D. My plan is to make this a learning experience for everyone involved, not only for the mechanics of the game, but also for advice on how to get into roleplaying and make the best out of your awesome character concept. About me I have started playing D&D 5e about a year ago after dabbling with other tabletop games for a while, and quickly fell in love with the online gaming capabilites of roll20 as a platfrom. Since then i have run multiple campaign both online and offline, including both official D&D 5e modules and my own homebrew adventures. I am a 23 year old student from Germany, and would like to use the funds generated by this game to partially fund my hobby of playing D&D 5e online on roll20 (buying official modules, map-packs, subscriptions etc.) The Details I am searching for 6 new players to join me on this venture! This game will be a Paid DM experience, with you as players reembursing me for the time invested in running the game for you each week, and preparing the adventure between each session. This is how the payment and organization for the game will be structured: A 5$ Initial fee will have to be payed after the first introductory session 0, but at the latest 72 hours before the start of the first official session. This fee will be used to purchase the official "Lost Mine of Phandelver Module" from the roll20 store, with the remaining money being the reembursment for setting up the game, planning out fitting music, adjusting the adventure to integrate your character's backstories if possible, and finetuning the campaign to the best of my abilities. This fee is non-refundable, and the session 0 is your chance to get to know the other players and the DM, and deciding if you want to commit to the campaign. After the initial setup fee, each weekly 4 hour session will cost 2$ per player, which has to be payed after the session the payment accrues for, but at the latest 24 hours before the start of the next session, or the player in question will not be able to continue playing in the campaign until the payment request is met. Payment can also be made in advance for multiple session, if the players feel like i have gained their trust. As long as 4 out of 6 players are present at the agreed start-time of the session, the session will happen this week, and we will continue on our adventure without the absent players. As a player you will only have to pay for sessions you actually attended, with me as a DM trying to find a good way to explain you character's absence. After you missed two sessions in a row without giving me any notice , you will be omitted from the campaign. The campaign will run in a moderate pace, and especially with the to be expected interruptions for questions and rules, it will probably take a few months to complete. If the party feels that the pace should be increased, i will try my best to meet that request. If you as a player violate the table-rules i will set up in the session 0, make other players feel uncomfortable by your actions, or otherwise negatively disrupt the game, I as a DM will reserve the option to exclude you from the game, refunding any possible payments made in advance for sessions, but not refunding the initial setup fee.
