why ?

Why is it so hard to find a d&d 5e game for Friday nights   WHY ?

Start running one rather than looking for a game. You'll have a pool potential players throwing themselves at you in two days.

Quite right. And you can put in the descriptions that you're looking for or at least hoping for someone else to DM. Anyone willing to do so will likely move to that position.

You'll find a lot of players looking for a game and if you get a group, a Dm may be more willing to come.

As this has been answered, I'll go ahead and close the thread. Don't hesitate to start a new thread in the appropriate sub-forums if you have any other questions or issues.
