D&D 5E, looking for group, any night

Hey, I'm 24, looking to join a group that plays 5E. I'm learning 5e currently, and have played a few one shots with friends, now I'm hoping for something more long term. I'm game for any night except Saturday nights. I live in the eastern time zone. Also willing to play almost any class and race.

I am in the eastern time zone and would love to play in a 5e group seeing as my current one is essentially suspended indefinitely. I'm in the eastern time zone and can work my schedule around yours. I usually prefered role tends to be that of a spellcaster, with wizards, warlocks and bards as my favored classes. I don't have the time to DM, sadly.

I'm also looking for another group to play with. My only experience extends to a couple one shots, not too story intensive. I prefer playing characters with mighty thews! Fighters, barbarians or paladins! I am EST based and can play pretty much any night. School starts up on the 12th, but I only have classes earlier in the day. I can be really flexible based off what we need. Edit: On a side note if we have us 3, we only need one or 3 more PC's based off what we want and a DM. I'm really interested in a more open game with nice story bits.
I'd love to join, personally, as a player. However, we have the seemingly eternal issue of too few DM's.
Dm'ing looks like a lot of fun and I wouldn't mind trying it. My biggest issue is not having enough experience with roleplaying in general. Until then I lack the confidence to make it a fun experience for the players if you know what I'm talking about. With all the pressure on the DM to make it interesting, I can see how there is a lack of people stepping up to the plate. On a side note: What type of game would you guys be interested in playing? same thing with characters.
I enjoy roleplay, so anything involving character development, political intrigue perhaps, that sort of thing. I'm usually a wizard/sorceror, but I've been enjoying Cleric/Druid builds recently.
I'm new to the D&D world and would love to get out there and give it a shot. Almost any kind of character is good with me, as I don't even have a one shot in my play history. But I'm eager to learn and play, hopefully to become a DM eventually.

As stated I tend to also prefer spellcasters. Mainly wizards and warlocks, but I also enjoy bards and in some cases clerics. I'd highly prefer wizard, warlock or bard, though. However, let it be known that I highly prefer dark/sinister options if avalible I.E. Necromancer wizards, fiend-pact warlocks and even Death Domain Clerics(If the point buy is high enough to get at least 14 cha.), and have a very big affinity for morally questionable PCs. I almost always play an evil PC if the option to do so is on the table, my prefered alignment being Lawful Evil. However, I can swing a netural character as well(and possibly even a good one, though I tend to not to enjoy good alignments all that much), and am willing to compromise. So if you are all overwhelimingly against an evil PC I am quite willing to play a slightly less sinister character. Either way, my background will almost certainly be noble and this is non-negotable, I just enjoy playing nobility too much not to take that background. Also note I have a strange RP quirk in that any character I play must have at least 14 charisma, which inevidbly draws me to cha-based classes. Thus if your playing with a low point buy I'll almost certainly be playing something based on cha. Game wise, I do like there to be a role play element but I usually don't do "voice over" unless I'm playing an evil-aligned male necromancer/warlock/"black magic" caster(about the only voice over I can do "good,") or the game is meant to be a pure farce/comedy.(As any other voice I try and do will either suck to hillarious degrees or be purposly ridicilous.) I do enjoy combat, but I am not a fan of "meat grinders" and have a tendency to take time crafting my characters, so games that are so difficult encounter-wise that I am constantly rolling new sheets are not my cup of tea. I guess I tend to like a good mix of combat and RP, with a slight leaning towards RP. I do enjoy having some degree of comedy at the table, ethough, even if it's entirely OOC....I just prefer a light-hearted, low-pressure atmosphere. Puzzles I am netural on. I tend to not be all that great at them, but usually somebody else in the party is so I just let them deal with them. So feel free to use or not use them, I have no preference on that one. Pretty much every game I've ever played, in any edition, has been your typical adventuring party out to complete X epic quest/defeat X villain, with a combination of dungeons, wilderness adventurers and the ocasional stay in cites. I've honestly never played a heavy political or urban campaign, nor have I ever played a villain campaign despite playing almost exclusively evil PCs(I'm pretty much always the "token evil teamate."), but that dosen't mean I'd be appose to such things. I'm open to pretty much any kind of game setup even if it's unfammilar to me as long as it's not a plotless hackfest or character-slaughtering meat grinder. Finally, let it be known I do not like being forced to roll for ability scores. I will only play in a game if there is some alternative to rolling for determining your ability scores. I don't mind games where rolling is an option, I just don't want it to be the only option as I tend to have terrible luck with ability rolls. While I do highly prefer point buy for ability scores, I am certainly fine with using the default ability generation rules for 5e and simply taking the array in place of rolling. However, point buy would certainly be a nice option to have. ;)
I got a lot of my interest in TRPG's from watching ItsmeJP's solum lets plays. Seems like a lot of fun having a set group go through a long and winding journey. I don't have much experience yet but I have always been partial to paladin type characters. Fighters, monks and rangers are also really cool. More martial type characters. I also like playing the good guy. Being a villian is okay, but only if your DM and the rest of your party is cool with it. One of my biggest pet peeves that I got from playing games with my brother is that I hate when it seems that one player is just out to ruin a good time for the rest of the party.

I can totally understand that and, don't worry, I don't play evil PCs for that reason. In my current pathfinder campaign we have a Lawful Good Paladin and a Lawful Good Cleric both from the same church and I'm playing a Lawful Evil Magus who has yet to give the Paladin a reason to detect evil on her. There is a reason I have LE as my favored alignment.....I tend to prefer well-played, intelligent and ocasionally genra-savy villains who don't go and backstab their partymates, steal from them etc...which LE is a great alignment for. I mean, you can't obtain power if your dead or incarcerated and all the tales told show that evil empires, no matter how mighty, tend to fold to that plucky band of hero freedom-fighters that always comes along. So why cast your die with the loosing side? If your an unscripilous noble looking to seize power, what better way to do so then by teaming up with the heroes and letting them do all the heavy lifting while you safely cast spells from behind them and quietly use your reputation as a "hero" and the wealth you gain from adventuring as political leverage when you finally go back to the courts and start your power plays? Heck, killing the emperor of the empire of darkness even works in your favor as it means your main rival has now been eliminated!...not to mention that being one of the people to bring him down gives you one heck of a reputation that can be used in your favor. People who play evil as "I am a dick to everybody, even my party members" are not only playing the alignment wrong, but playing the game itself wrong. It's partly why I believe Chaotic evil and to a lesser extent Netural Evil tend to be poor alignments for PCs and why I tend to stay away from them. While I am all for evil PCs, I am not for evil stuiped PCs or "villain" PCs in the sense of being an antagonist even to the party. That kind of character has no place in a cooprative game and is not fun, peirod. An evil aligned character can have a reason to aid the heroes or even be something of a hero themselves. They can be that selfish, hedonistic noble who acts as the financeer and legitiment political side of the rebelion or the sociopath/psychopath who limits his murders to the wicked who are truely deserving. I like to play evil PCs, not villainous ones, and that is an important distinction to make. ..and as stated, I am perfectly fine with netural characters as well, so if your all really appose to LE I am fine with ANY of the netural alignments too. Also note that I am not only open to, but actually enjoy a good redemption plot. In my last PF game, for example, the party's cleric/paladin mannaged to sucssessfuly turn my LE mind control-obssessed sorcerer from LE to LN, and if the game went on longer could have very well shifted him all the way to LG the way things where going. Don't think I'll hand redemption to you, but if you actively work for it the possibility of making my lawful evil PC less evil is a VERY real one. :3
I don't mind any alignment so long as it leads towards fun sessions. If say we had a group of CE guys and the DM was okay with it... well it would be kind for the PC's to create these awesome evil plots almost like they are playing as the DM, while the DM throws "good guys" at them out to stop all their evil deeds. Either way, what's fun is fun. What isn't, isn't.

Well it seems we're only really missing a DM, or maybe not if Kyle M. Decides to take the reigns. Which is the reason why I want to play as a PC this Time around and not DM. I'm already doing two campaigns, and not in the mood to DM a third campaign. character talk: Anyways, I love role playing my character and throwing voice in game. My character is generally neutral good but sways towards chaotic good or even chaotic neutral depending on the situation. I'm willing to play a healer, fighter, spell caster or whatever is needed. Class for me isn't so much of the focus for me, but personality and story telling is what wins me over.

Good to know. If we are doing voice over, then I'm pretty much locked into either necromancy wizard or warlock as about the only "D&D voice over" I can do even remotely well OTHER then monsters(I can do good voices for lizardfolk and Hags) is your "typical evil spellcaster/user of dark magic/evil overlord" type. I suppose in a pinch that same voice could work for a more refined Oathbreaker Paladin or perhaps even a charismatic evil fighter with the noble background, but for the most part is best fit for classes like Warlock, Necro Wizard and perhaps even death cleric....and I never play pure melee anyway(Though spellswords such as the valor bard and blade pact warlock are certainly picks I'd play if we're in desperate need of another body to shore up the front line.) However, IF you allow me to use my fancy little skype voice changer, I can easily get around the whole "the only voices I can do well are cliche villain and monsters" issue by playing a female character and using a voice changer to make my voice sound female when speaking IC. Yeah, thats kinda cheating, but it does drastically alter my voice as to separate my IC self from my OOC self, and it would open up more class and alignment options for me which would allow me to play, say, a bard, and cover the healing for all of you. So if you'd be ok with that kind of thing I'd certainly be happy to use the voice changer. Or conversely I can play a dragonborn and just use my lizardman voice because dragonborn are kinda like lizardfolk. I'd rather do the voice changer, TBH, though.
Hey I was just reading about your voice changer for skype! Could you possibly send me a link for it. I DM fod games in 5E (Europe sorry) and I love voices but I can be quite bad at them. I would much appreciate a link.
playing a game now would you like to join
I wouldn't mind playing now. I don't have a character prepped though

How many open slots are there? I'm just curious since we have six interested players and if this is a game that has already been going on I find it hard to believe you have five openings. Was that comment aimed specifically at the OP or does your game happen to have a lot of openings for some reason?
1420566681

Edited 1420566805
we only have 1 opening atm sorry ryu (re edit: full)
Well that sucks. I guess you whee specificly targeting the OP, then?
Sorry Drey, I really am not planning on DMing at this point. I would have no clue on what to do. It's just fun to start up conversation. It's boring enough looking through forums and seeing the constant "I'm looking for a game" posts without any real community discussion. Either way... I want a DM :(

Same here, I am so desperate I actually put up another thread out of fear that this thread would die now that, apparently, the OP has a game. I really love this edition, but can't seem to find a stable game for it, so I would very much like it if we could get a DM as well. Maybe if we just keep this thread alive....something will happen.
All this demand makes me feel obligated to start DMing. Maybe eventually.
Oh, I'm still looking for a game, don't boot me out so quickly. We are still looking for a dm in that case

Ahhh, ok. I was under the impression that Steven W. snagged you with his game since it had one opening and then got filled. Usually it is common courtesy in these kinds of threads to give the OP preference, so when he said he had a game with one opening and it just got full, I assumed it went to you as a result of that. However, I guess I shouldn't assume. So it still looks like we're still all in the same boat here. I apologize for the mistake and resulting confusion.
Should check the LFG.. a group I started here has 3-4 games going as far as I noticed..
Believe me I checked and none of them have anything with openings, at least for 5e. I found ONE that has openings, and I've already applied for it, however, there is only two openings and three apps for those two openings, so I may get in or I may not...so I'm going to keep this thread alive in the name of finding another game in the case I don't get in that one.
