[LFDM] D&D 5E Weekly, Sunday, 5 Players

A group of IRL friends and myself are interested to play D&D. Our problem is we all want to play and no one wants to GM. There are five of us; 2 are completely new to D&D in general, and the other 3 (myself included) have experience with 5e and roll20. I have a good amount of roll20 experience, as well as creating characters. In fact, we've already gone ahead and made characters – they're in my vault and ready to be imported to any campaign (27 standard point buy). As far as schedule goes, we're all free most of Sunday and all in Central U.S. Time Zone . As long as we can end by 9:00 PM CST, we're good to go. I was thinking 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM, but we can be flexible. As long as we can get a decently long session. I hate playing once a week for only two hours. Our party: Human Cleric of Light (me), Human Lore Bard, Dragonborn Eldritch Knight, Drow Thief, High Elf Ranger (Hunter) Here's what we're looking for: 1. A classic fantasy RPG feel would be just fine. Lord of the Rings-esque with knights and wizards and dragons, oh my! Wouldn't be averse to playing an adventure module, though I myself have already played through Lost Mines and Hoard of the Dragon Queen. 2. We'd like to start at level 4. This way our characters are a bit developed and we can have either a feat or stat increase- if that's okay. 3. No house rules. 5E is great, no need to reinvent an already sound system. 4. Trying to stay in character/in-game. Metagaming is lame. (But for the first few sessions its bound to happen as 2 players are brand new and need to learn how thing work; that's fine.) 5. Punctuality and reliability!!! I can't stress how important this is. I tried doing this before but I ended up with unreliable flakes. If you can't make a session, don't tell us the day after, give notice. 6. Someone who is willing to talk to us during the week, outside of the game. I know everyone has busy life schedules... but I like being able to chat with people more than just the scheduled time, who show up on time and leave on time and disappear until next session. 7. Prefer to use Google Hangouts. 8. Try and avoid the tropes of "you all meet in a tavern," you all meet in a jail cell," and "you all meet via shipwreck". It's painfully cliche :P TL;DR read the title, 5 friends wanting to play 5E on Roll20 every Sunday. Need a GM.

Shameless bump

Hey there. umm never used google hangouts but I can figure it out quick enough. I have a skype contact if you can use that for now to get ahold of me. I am a DM I need to go through some rules and refresh since I havent played 5E yet but I have all the books. I am very flexible DM and love teaching my skype is redzeckx if you would hit me up so we could talk the only big issue I see right now is that I have my only set day at work (Manager at Mcdonald's is Sunday doing inventory at night) If we can talk about a different time during sundays that would be great or if it can be later ... Like I said pretty flexible. Hit me up on skype and Ill talk to you about it. around 2 or so years experience DMing IRL and am a computer expert so using Roll20 will be easy. I actually setup something like this using other programs once before back during d&d 3.5 :)

Added you on Skype. We can chat on there for now but I'd prefer we use hangouts in the future. All you need is a google plus profile or gmail :)

This is just a suggestion, take it for what it's worth, but 5E kind of puts 'how you know each other' in the player's hands by leveraging the Bonds portion of character creation. Sure the book gives you generic examples, but you can really take it to another level, especially since you have contact in real life.

Yeah, we are going to talk with the GM and amongst ourselves about whether our characters know each other beforehand or if we meet in game. With this game, Jonah and I talked about doing basically an adventurers guild, where individuals from all walks of life join and go on quests/missions together as a team. We'd each come up with our own reason for joining and taking on the first mission, and hopefully develop as a party throughout. So, something very similar to Hunter x Hunter (anime) or the Pathfinder Society (Pathfinder RPG).
