Are you an experienced D&D player (any edition, not just 5e)
who likes both to play and occasionally DM? Our group of five is
seeking a sixth to round out our numbers. This is not for a single
campaign; this is for a long-term group whose main mission is to have
fun. We play every Friday night starting at 7 p.m. E.D.T. If this sounds good, please read on! Who we are seeking: Since we are a long-term group, we are looking for someone who is
willing to make a commitment to playing every week. We want a solid,
lasting band of adventurers, so a commitment to regular attendance is important. The ideal person will have a
familiarity not only with D&D but with playing on Roll20, be
comfortable with role-playing, and have a strong preference for
cooperative and challenging play. The abilities to devise tactics and
employ strategy as well as using improvisational skills are a plus. The ideal candidate will also be prepared, informed, creative,
courteous, and respectful as well as also having a strong sense of
humor and the desire to have fun with D&D. We do want someone who can/will DM, has experience, and
will treat players as partners in the campaign, but they will
not be the only DM in the group. This role will change.
Currently, we have two very experienced DM's, another with some
experience, and yet another wanting to learn in the future. Who we do not want: Rules lawyers, would-be gods, those encumbered with their own ego,
those unwilling or unable to make a commitment to regular
participation, and anyone who puts their experience above the group's
welfare need not apply. What we play: We play D&D 5e story-driven campaigns, with a mix of tactical
combat and role-playing, where your actions or inaction impacts the
living world around you. Character deaths will happen, though they
should never be the DM's goal. Campaign lengths and settings will
vary. Although sometimes the game setting might have some
restrictions, most content is usually allowed. We are a flexible
group and consider both player and DM input as to what we play. In
this and all other matters, we have a strong preference for group
input on decisions. The DM does, of course, have a greater sway, but
they are not treated as gods. Cooperative play involves the entire
group and campaigns should be viewed as collective story-telling
endeavors. We want everyone to enjoy themselves. We use Discord in addition to Roll20. Taking the next step: If you are interested, please take a moment to tell us something
about yourself either below or via DM as you like. We are interested in
YOU, not your character. The character you play will change, but
*your* character should be stable. Should you have a particular
concern or question, or would like to know more about us, please ask. If you are selected initially, I will send you some questions to
answer. You may then be asked to speak with either me or another
group member. We are
trying to find the person who will be the best fit. If you are not
selected, please do not take it personally. It may be that it is just
not the right fit for now.
