Hello there! My names Jessica and I'm posting here on behalf of myself and friend as we are very keen to start a new campaign where we can both play together as currently we take turns in our regular game to DM. I've been roleplaying for 15 years+, mostly through a written format, but have come to love the storytelling style that D&D encourages. I have been playing 5th Edition for just over a year now and I'm not too proud to say I'm still learning with every game, who isn't?, and I'm very interested in not only finding a DM to run us through a game but also make a new friend to tell a story with. Our timezones and work commitments mean that together we really only have Fridays at the specific time in the title free to play, 9pm GMT/5pm EST , and whilst we will always try to adjust if there's a bump in someone's schedule we are both very eager to find someone who is available at a regular time to play with us. Important Ideals Ashley & I are both very into the roleplaying side of this roleplaying game. We love deep lore, intricate backstories and rewarding storytelling. It's really important that we find a DM who is not only on the same page as us but is also looking for this kind of playstyle & enjoys it. We want to work with you to tell a story and uncover mysteries! I personally also enjoy solving puzzles, going with an ebb & flow of a campaign (i.e. not every session must have combat, sometimes a shopping montage is fun, a break in the tension for a moment of lightheartedness) and political intrigue. I'm not the biggest fan of combat but as long as it's dynamic and stays engaging then I'm more than happy to contribute as a team player. Knowing who we're playing with is and being comfortable with each other enough to play the game to the fullest extent is a must. We have discord and will be available to bounce ideas around and chat as much as you are. When playing ideally the sessions will be done with both video & voice, as this is the most engaging and fun way we find playing :) I want to feel as though my character is part of the world you're weaving, not just a replaceable piece that's moving through it. Finding a DM who is interested in the character story, both back and moving forward, and including personal plots would be truly wonderful. Have fun . No seriously, it's really obvious when a DM isn't enjoying themselves and just going through the motions. Your enjoyment when playing with us is just as important, open & fair communication is the best way to ensure that. This would be our weekly game as a group and 4 hours a week is a lot of time to spend not enjoying yourself. Campaigns At the moment we are just looking at having a very small campaign, we have both shared a character as the 3rd party member in the past and this has gone smoothly. If needed I think we're more than capable of running 2 characters each, as long as you don't get too weirded out with us talking to ourselves sometimes! xD We both have preferred play styles, I personally love full casters & support mainly, but enjoy challenging ourselves and creating new characters to try new things. We have played a handful of homebrew settings and campaigns and if you have a world you've been working hard on that you'd like to play through we would love if you wanted to share that with us. We are both avid world builders too so if you wanted to work together to weave a story we would be more than up for that. In terms of official campaigns we have both played Curse of Strahd, though not to completion, and whilst we did enjoy the campaign would prefer not to play it again so soon. We have both also played the very beginning of SKT. Ghosts of Saltmarsh is the most interesting looking official campaign, but if you have one you've ran a handful of times that you love please feel free to suggest them! Thank you to anyone who has taken the time to read through this, I hope to hear from you soon. :)
