Hey there, we are looking for a great GM to help us test a set of 1e AD&D rules (OSR cloned). Will share link in DM. We have 2 players plus a few that show up on occasion, so we will also need to find 2-3 more players. Roll20 Info. We use the new 1e AD&D sheet and a ton of ScriptCards automation. So most of the complex stuff is automated. There is also a library of scripts for common GM tasks. We can get you a server set up (so no Pro account required if using ours) or you can use your own and grab updates from github. Will share a test server link in DM. If using your server, we can help load the monster sheets. Testing Criteria. We’re not looking to produce any testing material or create specific test cases. Given the ruleset, the intent was to produce a playable game reducing rule vagueness and toning lethality down by a notch (ie. “some”). We do want to see how the rules operate outside of our group who helped design them. We are very interested in feedback of course and all rule change requests will be considered. In any case, the GM always makes the “table call” no matter what is written. Campaign. Does not need to be custom (ie can use pre-made adventures). Does not need to be a 1e adventure (but should be converted). Greyhawk is great, but not required. Basically, anything the GM knows will be fun for the players. We’ve previously done Slavers, TOEE, and Giant series (in progress still) so perhaps not those. I find low levels work best if new to the rules. I'm happy to help shoulder some of the work load where it makes sense. GM Requirements. Being able to conduct a fun game, familiarity with Roll20, and computers in general is more important than a deep understanding of 1e. The rules are fully online and in most cases streamlined. Our players have all been 3e/3.5e/Pathfinder players as well as some 5e. There is a learning curve, but if you are familiar with D&D, that’s a great start. In terms of age, there’s not really a hard requirement, but consistency and our ability to rely on this is important. So some professional (work) background is preferred. Frequency/Timing. We have some flexibility but Tues or Thurs evenings with a 6:30pm CST start time would work best. Can be flexible on day of week if other players are joining. Start time is also flexible — expectation is a game around ~4-ish hours (a little less or more based on all the normal factors). Frequency would be once per week (with the occasional skipped week of course). Start date would depend on player availability. Total number of games is open ended if everyone is having fun. Rules have been tested previously by 12 players over two groups and multiple campaigns with 2 GMs (begun ~2018; rules in dev since 2016-ish). We run a separate game Saturdays with 5-7 players (just got to the Giant series after TOEE; open to adding a player!). Hopefully you can help us out. I’m happy to answer questions or do some screen sharing to give you a better idea of the game. If you’re reading this and would rather be a player (or want to learn more), please DM me! Responses. Just send me a DM with some info including thoughts/comments on the above categories. Any additional info is great. Let me know your ability to bring in extra players. Add any initial questions. Payments. Flexible in terms of payment vehicles. Open to pre-pay once we establish things. Happy to discuss more. Assuming there is some interest, once we have someone chosen, I’ll communicate to all and will provide an update after 4 games. Given the holidays, I may !bump this thread once we get into the new year. Cheers! ~D ...I did consider StartPlaying, but the few folks I reached out to there were not available. So I figured I would try here before going in blind there with a custom game request.
