Looking to hire DM for custom campaign

Hello everyone, I'm currently interested in hiring a DM to run weekly settings with the Adventurers in Middle Earth module, specifically in the fan-made world expanded version of middle earth (<a href="https://merp.fandom.com/wiki/Arda_Role_Playing_Wiki" rel="nofollow">https://merp.fandom.com/wiki/Arda_Role_Playing_Wiki</a>). I'm looking for someone who's familiar with Tolkien lore, able to run a large open-world sandbox with lots of exploration and roleplay, and isn't afraid to use some custom homebrew changes I have in mind. Apart from that, I should be able to afford any price, and although I don't have a complete group together atm, I have a few friends who might be interested in playing, and we should be able to get a group together through this site anyway. If any of that interests a prospective DM, please send me a DM here or on my discord at Gambit#XD0875. Looking forward to hearing from you all!

This is very intriguing. My CV first, then some preliminary questions: I've DM/GM'd since 1982, running D&amp;D 0E, 1E, 2E, 3E, 4E, and 5E, Savage Worlds, Dungeon World, Blades in the Dark, DCC, AGE, Call of Cthulhu, Rolemaster, MERP, HARP (I am credited in HARP), and I am a semi-professional designer. I am comfortable with Tolkien (not from the movies), and that expanded wiki is incredible. How many players so far? When (Time/Days)? I can run with just two of you, we can add more later. Finally, what do you mean by hire? I can provide a few sources to vouch for my DMing style/capabilities

hey there! thanks for the sending the reply ^^ At the moment, there's only me in terms of players, but I'm sure my dad and maybe a few friends would be interested if they're available. For time, I'm available for the entirety of the afternoon pst on everyday except monday, tuesday, and thursday. And by hiring, I mean having each member of our group (or just me, if necessary) pay a certain amount every week or session I'd prefer to wait a bit to start, as I want to get a group together first, so if you're up for it, we could start in a month or so ^^ I also have a bunch of fine tuning I need to do in terms of the game rules, but I think it'd be best if we worked it out over discord Does that still interest you?
