LFG: Older Gamer wanting a long term campaign

Edited 1721058323
About me: So I prefer to go by MrRe online pronounced Mr Re (aka Mystery) a pun on itself. But I'm 40. I've got several decades worth of experience. I have dmed off and on in my time. Mostly homebrew campaigns. My favorite system is Pathfinder 2e or Dnd 5e ATM so I'd like a game for either of those. If it's PF2e I'd prefer foundry over roll20. While roll20 is great its not really designed for pf2e without having to manually enter a TON of info which I rather avoid Availability: My preferred game time range is 5pm-10pm CST on Mon, Tues, Wed, or Sat. Is what I have open ATM if any of that fills i'll adjust that since I'd love a game or two more. And I definitely need something weekly. It makes it easier to stay in character with their personality as long as there isn't more then a 7 day gap. Free to play only. While I have no problem with people who pay for games and I get the appeal I am on disability and cant afford a play to pay game unless its like 5-10 bucks a month which I know no dm will ever go for normally. Why Me: So at this point I know a lot of dms want to know what I bring to the table and such so here I go: I tend to be about 40-60% range for rp and then the same for combat. I like to be creative where I can try to find a different way or unique way to do things sticking to that character I'm playings personality so I immersive myself while in that character so they can change and grow based on the experiences they have. If my character gets maimed or killed it happens I don't get upset and lets face it sometimes the dice gods just don't like us. I cant tell you how many times in the past 20 plus years I've died due to the dice gods. Of course my own stupidity at times gets me killed at times too but that's fine. I'm very laid back and open minded. While I enjoy crafting and magic stuff the most I am open to play whatever role is needed its interesting to push yourself in new unique ways, And got to remember what stuff happens in game stays in game. Shouldn't effect you outside of the game or how you see people. They are just playing their characters. Favorite Moments in TTRPG: So like everyone we all have lost characters over the years and I for one am not the most liked by the dice gods. But it can lead to some interesting ways events. Like for example on Pathfinder 2e I have literally crit failed and killed myself with a medicine check trying to first aid myself. That was amazing. Another game I was playing a rogue and had stealthly stolen a bad guys bag of poppets and began training them to become all killers. The wizard had found out and I managed to convince and bribe them to join in and we were well on the way of training a mini army of rogues and casters for a long time till I accidentally got possessed and controlled by me multiple rolling 1s in a row. And ended up having to turn on the party because of it. And it of course there was one time while invisible and horriblely failing a perception check with a 1 roll to play a makeshift bomb I had crit succeed on making and including a few things I REALLY SHOULDNT have put in there. And well it got found and messed with right away before I could even get out of the room creating a massive explosion blowing myself up and well a GIANT CRATER with the team funnily having to perform multiple athletics rolls to get away in time.  Final Notes: I love playing tabletop games and exploring worlds and such. It's a great way to meet new people and make friends along the way. I love to discuss and bounce ideas for stuff and characters with people. If you are interesting in me joining or just want to chat feel free to message me here or dm me as well. We can swap discords to talk and such. Thank you all for taking the time to read this and have a good day.
Hello Sir! If you have any interest in Mythras (d100 based), Call of Cthulhu, Savage Worlds, Stars Without Number, or a DND edition other than 5E, there are some games starting up on my crew's server both this month and next:  Join The Gang   It's a small server for now, but it's all older folk with stories similar to yours, it's just not 5E or PF2 (for no other reason that there exists a billion servers for those 2 games).
I might be interested after a chat. I have been playing/DMing since early 80's. Started on box edition took a pause at 3rd edition came back on 5th edition. Ran two campaigns for a little over 2 years +/-, first attempt at online D&D. Took a break for rl stuff and the dynamic from my players was causing undue stress I didn't need. After a years sabatical with me constantly thinking about D&D while i fooled with WH40K, I decided to come back and go for a LONG campaign. We are going old school meets new school with a lot of homebrew. Everyone starts at 1st level, everyone gets a dwelling in or around outskirts of the City of Greyhawk. Our campaign will be heavily focused on every players backstory and wants and desires. This will be a story we all build together. Now the caveat or catch or whatever. I'm only  going once a month starting in August, most likely, on Saturdays but (the possible problem) the time will be 6p-12p CST. I work 2nd shift so I am a night owl. The once a month is because my rl is most precious to me and I learned from the last 2 years that more than that isn't conducive to being a father, son, husband and grandfather. I have a pretty decent discord setup, everyone has their own private rp channel for your backstories any all communications outside of regular sessions concerning your character, etc. So far I have 3 (4) players, one newer player from my work and two of my old players who were great at the game and with people in general. As far as characters go their party needs a Magic User type or Ranger type. So to explain, I am VERY free with character creation, it is 80% homebrewed, basically Build a Bear for D&D. I say type because of this fact.  There is a lot more, but this has been long enuf, it your aren't interested by now then you probably won't be with anymore info I provide.
