[LFG]/[LFGM] Group of four looking for replacement GM for Pathfinder

Edited 1516443350
Notice: [Game Availability would be for either evenings, starting at around 10 p.m./12 a.m.EST, or subject to scheduled days off. I, personally am the only one in the group with a variable schedule at this time.] This is fairly straight forward. We had a group of five people, plus a GM, and were scheduled to have our first session on Friday a little over a week ago. Everybody showed up in the Discord channel except for the GM(although he was online on Discord), who gave a single sentence reply a couple days later about apologizing for missing the session. A day or two after that, without any contact since the prior message, he spontaneously left the channel. A day or so after that, the fifth player left the channel, too. There are still four of us looking to play, and we already have our characters made(currently a Cleric, Kineticist, Monk and Samurai), but may need to discuss a few things about them, as one or two character elements are non-Paizo content. (one class archetype, one race, and an alternate-ruled class feature, on different characters, I believe?) Everyone should be willing to do pure-Paizo content if necessary as well. Alternately, we would also likely be willing to run with certain accepted house rules(feat tax, etc.). Well, that and adjusting our stats to accommodate a different point buy(prior GM had it at 25). It would be a simple matter to transfer the character data over to a newly hosted roll20 game. We didn't have a set campaign to run, as the GM was planning on a sort of homebrew-sandbox type of thing, so there are no particular plans there to be accounted for. Lastly, we do have room, possibly, for one last player character. Preferably not a martial, of course. Five seems about the upper limit, more or less. ----- I would be glad to discuss this in voice chat over Discord, or simply through messages if preferred.

Well. Our newest GM pulled the same trick, more or less. Everything ready to go, players ready, GM seemingly ready, with our first session going to happen soon... then he spontaneously leaves the Discord channel in-between gatherings, and doesn't reply to an inquiring PM. So, uh, it looks like we're looking for a new GM. Again. If anybody is interested, I would gladly send you my Discord I.D., or a server invitation to talk with the players. I promise we're not cursed!
Believe me I feel your pain. I've started dozens of games and players unfortunately don't call and don't show.  Everyone is gung-ho before the game session, post several times about custom rules, spend hours asking me for clarification or exceptions, and then they all commit to show.  I have spent hundreds of hours prepping campaigns, importing, writing macros etc... I've even purchased and imported custom modules on request. I have set up games for GMs that never get to play...because I love gaming.  I have some campaigns that literally have run decades in real life.  But Roll 20, especially over the past couple of years has changed... Because now on game day...Same folks didn't even move their token in the Roll 20 map from "will be there" to "won't be there" something that literally takes 10 seconds. Real life happens I get it...but not having 10 seconds every 2 weeks to move a token?  Or to send a 1-liner PM "I can't make it sorry!" I don't use discord as much but zip in discord, no posts, no PM's, nothing.  So now I work with a 2 day before game RSVP. If the table doesn't have enuff folks we cancel.  If the campaign goes 2-3 sessions with a majority of no-shows, I drop the campaign. If I get the same results from a player in two campaigns, they go on permanent blocklist. It's not fair to the folks who wanted to play and didn't get in before the flakes who chose to take their spot to grief the campaign into non-existence.  I'm PST so timezones won't work but I wish you the best of luck!
