Good day to everyone that took the time to come here and take a look! I'm a 44 year old male (he/him) that's been off and on playing a variety of tabletop RPGs since I was about 14 years old. I've played a variety of systems, but most of it has focused on fantasy based games. I tend to enjoy high fantasy settings, as well as games that give a good balance of the main pillars of TTRPGs (combat, story, exploration and role play). Currently I'm looking to find a table running either versions of 5e (2014 or 2024). I've much more experience playing the 2014 edition, but I'm familiar with 2024 but haven't had the chance to actively play any current campaign using the 2024 version. I'm open to either pre-made or homebrew campaigns, and in terms of pre-mades I've already played Waterdeep Dragon's Heist, Storm Kings Thunder and Lost Mines of Phendalver. In terms of availability, I'm looking for a weekly or bi-weekly frequency, running on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday after 8:30 pm Eastern, and ending no later than 12:30 Eastern.  In terms of the type of group/table I'm looking for, here are some of the things I'm looking to find. I prefer collaborative play and storytelling groups compared to groups that allow or favor Player vs Player combat. All the power to those that enjoy PvP at their table, but in my experience it has lead to way, way more bad experiences than good ones. I'm open to tables with new players, and I'm more than happy to help out new players as best I can to enjoy this great hobby of ours. I'm looking for a good balance of serious and silly. Additionally, as an adult with responsibilities and family, I understand that availability can be difficult, and try my best to be flexible with the other members of my group, and make sure to give as much notice as possible when my own availability might change. Furthermore, in the interests of saving everyone time, tables that enjoy adding rules to increase realism in the game, such as more severe combat, more in depth inventory management, realistic survival rules, and any rules of a similar nature, aren't really for me. I appreciate why people enjoy those kinds of rules within their game, but I find it tends to pull me out of the game than provide more engagement. Finally, while I know I'm posting in the Free games forum, I want to make it clear I'm not looking for a paid game.  Well, if you made it this far, thanks! If you've got any further questions about me or to see if I might be a good fit, please don't hesitate to reach out and I'll do my best to answer. Best of luck to those looking for groups, and good luck with your adventuring and storybuilding! P.S. I figure I'd throw in a bad DnD Dad joke, as I'm fond of sharing them.  What happens when you step on a D4? Your foot takes 1d4 damage.
