I tried to send a PM, but for some reason I got an error alerting me that I didn't have the right permissions. Thus, I'll post here: Heya! I saw your post that was looking for players for a short campaign and thought I'd see if I was the type of player that you're looking for. :-)
Please see below for the answers to your specific questions.
> Your experience with DnD 5e or any other ttRPG
I started playing D&D in the early 90s, starting with 2nd edition. D&D was a bit of a fad back then and I loved the cartoon. My sister was dating a guy who gave me his D&D books, and that's how I got into it. Reading through the DMG was just an amazing experience, as I imagined all the adventures that could be had.
I convinced a few of my friends to be players, and we just started making stuff up. The entire adventure was homebrew, and extremely ad-hoc. We played all through high school before going our separate ways.
Went away to college in Atlanta and discovered Dragon*Con. There I met a bunch of local folks who were playing, including another guy who liked to DM. We took turns running campaigns for about five years before I moved out of state.
I moved to WA state for a job out of college and dropped D&D for a bit. Eventually I learned about a local group that one of my friends was in and joined. Played in that campaign for a few years, then took a turn as the DM. Ran a 4e campaign, a 13th age campaign, and am currently running Shadowrun.
In between running those games other folks took turns as the DM, which I love. They've run Savage Worlds, 5E, and one of the superhero systems but I don't remember which.
While I love DM'ing, I also enjoy playing, and would love to scratch that itch with a short campaign.
> Your experience with Roll20 and Discord
I'm using roll20 to run the Shadowrun campaign. Honestly I mostly use it for the battle map and rolling dice. I haven't used it much at all for things like character sheets, player handouts, etc. Mainly my experience is much more logistical - setting up macro buttons for common things like soak rolls, uploading and tweaking (and tweaking, and tweaking) maps and tokens, dynamic lighting, measurement tool, etc.
We moved to roll20 in March due to the pandemic, so basically just took the game and moved it online. We already had character sheets and such, so as mentioned only really using roll20 for the dice and the battlemap.
My discord experience is pretty limited. I'm on a few discords, but I use them mainly for text chatting about video games. > Your preference for combat/roleplay ratio - heavy combat, heavy roleplay, or equal
I'm super flexible. I love puzzles of all forms, which can include tricky combat. I am _terrible_ at voices, so my roleplay is more in the content than the delivery, but I enjoy it as well. As long as the players at the table are having a good time, then I'm cool with just about anything. The whole goal of the game is to have fun, so if that's happening then everything else falls into place.

Thanks for considering me for your game! I'd be honored if you selected me, and if not then I understand and hope that everything runs smoothly for you and your group!
