[LFP] For DND 5e long term home-brew campaign.

Looking for players to play in a long term home-brew campaign.  The world setting will very likely involve a small start in the material plane, quickly evolving into multiple planar travelings in order to solve (problems).  This will include but is definitely not limited to: the Feywild, the Shadowfell, the Elemental Planes, etc.  This campaign will be starting at 4th level in order to dodge some of the dredging of the early levels.  Levels will progress quickly in the beginning.  My rules as a DM are as follows:  1.) I am not out to kill players. That being said, I will in a heartbeat. Three reasons you'll die in my game are as follows: a.) The dice say it's meant to be. Meaning, if you've been saved once or twice and rolls still kill you, eventually it's meant to be. b.) The players themselves doing something stupid. If you rush into a room of enemies alone without a legit plan, I won't be trying to save you. c.) If there is a good story reason for your character to die. We're all players. SO, if you rush in to save 4 allies and die in the process, you're a hero. You get that death and should love it. 2.) I enjoy a solid 50/50 of encounters and roleplay(notice I said encounters, not fights). When it is roleplay heavy, I want legit roleplay. Some funny, some serious, play the characters and story out as it would. On the other 50%, encounters, do not always mean fights. You can talk between the encounters, you might be running from something you can't kill in a chase scene, etc. 3.) Most of my games are closer to the epic scale of games. You'll be running multiple missions like pieces of puzzles, that all come together and matter in a larger scale later on. 4.) This is the MOST IMPORTANT rule to me. Rule of fun. Meaning, sure, dnd5e has it's rules and they should be followed. But, we're here to have fun. If something out of the rules is a little more fun it will be allowed. For players, or my NPCs. 5.) The DM in the end, is right. Again, we're here to have fun, but for there to be a little structure, the DM is right. We can have conversations and talk about outcomes and thoughts, but the last say is the DM's in the end. OVERALL: WE'RE HERE TO WRITE A STORY TOGETHER. I'M NOT PLAYING ((AGAINST)) YOU, WE'RE PLAYING A GAME TOGETHER. I'm more than happy to DM for new players, though I would like people to have at least a little experience with Roll20 so I can help them learn quicker.  In the end, I want my game to be MUCH LESS POWER GAMING, and much more interesting, fun, and role-playee characters.  Come up with something interesting that you and everyone else will fall in love with. I plan to start this game next weekend, being 8-13,14 or 15 pending people's availability.  Friday nights are the most likely to work. and sessions will probably be anywhere from 3-5 hours.  If you have ANY QUESTIONS, message me. If you would like to play, please post here and give me a quick run-down of your experience.  

I would love to get a game going as a player, have played dnd for years now, I think my first game was 3.0 (though I have played 1st edition), but most of my experience is with 3.5 and 5e.  I've been DM for a number of 5e games recently so looking forward to playing a character for a change.   I certainly like having a focus on characters as roleplay tools rather than trying to max out what they can do stat wise, because then I would just play a video game if I wanted to max things out.   As far as class preferences go, I am very open as to what I like, and I typically avoid most homebrew races/classes (Matt Mercers stuff though is A-Okay by me, because he is a Golden God).   I have PMd you my discord info, feel free to message me there if you have questions and the like!

Hey Stefan! Im glad to see this listing, because I've been looking for a fun game to play with a group of friends. I like your DM rules, especially so because I love a Narrative game. I was introduced to D&D a long time ago through itmeJP's first Rollplay show, and since then I've followed that channel as well as games like CriticalRole and misscliks.  Since then, for almost 2-3 years I've played a lot of games ranging from OD&D, 4e, Pathfinder, Dungeon world, and various PbtA games since. I generally lean a lot more towards games that focus on the narrative side of Roleplaying and enable the Players and the GM to work together to tell a fun and interesting story If you wish, Id be happy to send you my Discord ID through PMs and continue the conversation whenever you have a moment. Let me know!

Hey mate, I'm keen to be apart of this, I have only played 5e and only on roll20 so I won't need assistance there. Only thing I may have missed in the post is the timezone, I can make it no matter the time it is here so it isn't the biggest concern.

Hello, would absolutely enjoy being a part of this. I started playing D&D about a year or two ago so not very long and sort of dropped for a good while. Was looking for a long term adventure to be a part of and this seems to be it. Though I might be a little rusty so I might need to be reminded once and awhile but that shouldn't be a problem. I do have a question of sorts, would you be okay with a homebrew class of sorts? Could send you the link and see what you thought about it. 

Jae- I would love your discord ID and very well may be starting a group soon.  Barry - the time zone would be Central time in America.  Water - you could PM me that if you wish, I’ll take a look at it. I’m open to lost things as long as you’re open to retconning stats if you become or seen a little OP. 

Hey there, I'd love the chance to play in this campaign given the opportunity. As for experience, I'm about as barebones as they come. My only real game time has come from a short series of combat-focused DND 5e test runs DM'd by me for a friend to better understand how to play. I know the basics of gameplay, yet would more than likely require some help from time to time. Though I've never used Roll20 to play on, I know how it works, so that shouldn't get in the way. Personally, I lean towards the roleplay and character development/interactions aspect, and am eager to see firsthand how that will play out in a long-term game. Building focused narratives with whoever else is in the game sounds pretty neat. If you're willing to have me, I'd be more than happy to shoot you my Discord info and talk some more.

Biff - That’s no worries at all as long as you’re ok with the rules as explained. Honestly I’d rather newer players be a part rather than veterans.  Dm me what’s necessary, including Discordbif you’d like to chat regularly.  To everyone. I currently have 2-4 sure fits and I’m looking for 5.  Maybe 6 if we’re great. Thanks you. 

Hey, would love to play, Im experienced (about 2 years). I remember a lot of the rules, although I don't live by them. I would love to work with you on a character, although I have a lot of ideas already. The only problem would be my timezone (as I live in Australia) so that might be the only thing that might cause me to leave.

I’m not looking for people To leave. Ideally I need a group of 5-6 solid players, that will be there at least once every 2 weeks.  Meaning... once a week we can have at least 4 players. 

Hey! This sounds super intresting and alot in how I run my games. After now running my own game for over a year I devloped an itch I cant scratch. And that is joining another campaign. My experience so far is only 5e with SOME pathfinder in there, ive been playing on Roll20 for about 2 years now and DMing myself since a year back by now. Running a long-term homebrew aswell that seems very similar to ur setting.  A little problem might be timezones since Im GMT

Stefan T. said: I’m not looking for people To leave. Ideally I need a group of 5-6 solid players, that will be there at least once every 2 weeks.  Meaning... once a week we can have at least 4 players.  I understand, I forgot to mention that I would be good for the 8/15, which if that is the day we play, you can expect to see me every week. I have zero intention on leaving, all it comes down to is whether or not I can play on allocated day.

Name: Ryan Age: 27 I'd be interested in joining. I have 3 years of 5e experience, most of which was DMing my own homebrew campaign, as well as running Mines of Phandelver and Princes of the Apocalypse. I'm also a moderator on one of the largest discord tabletop RPG servers (10 000+ members) and familiar with a few other systems as well. Perfectly fine with using Roll20, not picky and availability on the specified days aren't a problem. I'm pretty easy to get along with and enjoy complicated plots in games.

Hi! I'm Sunny. I've been playing tabletop RPG's for years now, and I have ran and played 5e specifically more times than I can count. My play style is very character and relationship focused, so I feel that this game would be a great fit for me! My favorite part about RPG's is character development and watching the story unfold as a party. And I love in character interaction! I'd be delighted if you would consider me :)

If this is still open and it can be ran on sundays Id love to join but im not regularly available fridays/saturdays sadly, I am very familiar with 5e rules and have used roll 20 for a long time over multiple campaigns

if you still have room I would be interested. not super experienced but i've only played on roll20 so i'm fairly familiar with it. I'm 25.

Hello! I've just now got into Roll20 but I've played a bit of D&D. I was wondering if you have any spots available and if so, I'd be glad to join your game. I'm available pretty much all the time and I'm hyped for a game

Hi! I've been playing D&D exclusively as a DM and am just now getting into Roll20 and a long homebrew game sounds really fun, if the lack of experience is enough to discourage you from asking me to join, it's fine, I understand but I most likely will play a Druid and I can PM you my discord if you think I might fit in. and I'm available almost all the time and a longer game sounds like a lot of fun. 

Hola, your DM and game style sound exactly like what i'm looking for. I've been playing DnD for close to a decade now and have experience with other systems as well, warhammer fantasy/40k tabletop and rpg both, Rotted Capes and Starfinder. I enjoy playing with new players so it won't burn my patience. I'm also open when it comes to character design and story, picking whatever roles are needed and modifying my stories to fit into any world. Most of my Roll 20 experience has been with people I know IRL over long distances but meeting new people on the internet isn't as scary as they told me it was in the 90's. 

I am still looking for one player currently that can make (ideally both) Friday a 6pm central or Sunday at 5pm central.  We're leaning more towards Sunday.  If I haven't contacted you yet feel free to DM me, maybe send your discord, and talk us through it.

I like your DM style and rules. I have played warhammer 40k, 5e a couple times and mostly pathfinder. I am eager to join another group to start another game with. I will more likely play a rogue and go for an assassin like playstyle and I am available on Friday as well as Sunday. I am also looking for a longer game so that is perfect with me. I am 20.
