Hello fellow adventures. I am looking to form a long term group. I have never played any of the published adventures and am looking to build a group around doing so. My two years with 5e have all been homebrew. TLDR: Looking for a long term group and DM to play Lost Mines of Phandelver / Storm King’s Thunder in 4-5 hour blocks on Sundays every week. EST, time to be determined. I am looking first and foremost for a DM, and secondly for players. I want to start with a session 0, build characters, and begin with the Lost Mines of Phandelver, transitioning those characters into Storm King’s Thunder. Player Characters should be built with a backstory of the players design such that elements can be weaved into the established content. Don’t sweat not knowing the material (I don’t), just make an interesting backstory. Mine is below. This will allow 1-2 week periods devoted to character development in sections of the campaign that allow for a little side story telling. Once the campaign concludes the group will vote on which campaign to play next: Tales of the Yawning Portal Princes of the Apocalypse Curse of Strahd Tomb of Annihilation Out of the Abyss Hoard of the Dragon Queen and Rise of Tiamat The DM can either continue to fulfill that role or become a player. A player can then assume the role of DM, or we can search for a DM to host the next adventure we’ve picked. If we are searching for a DM, we can then spend 2-4 weeks finishing character backstory loose threads and “settling” those characters. This will allow us to continue to play. When starting a new campaign, a player can either play a new character, or play the same character (starting at level 1) again. If you join, you should be able commit to the campaign in full, but are not obligated to play subsequent campaigns. Though the hope is to find people who would like to continue. Looking for 5, possibly 6 players (including myself) and a DM. Missing an occasional week is ok, we all have lives, things come up, but it should not be a regular occurrence. I am looking to have a consistent game on Sundays. A 4-5 hour block. We can work together to determine what time works best for everyone, but will start no earlier then 7am EST, finishing no later then 5pm EST. Once we nail down a time, we should play at that time every week to ensure consistency and make it part of each persons schedule. I would ask that no one under 25 apply as I would like to find individuals around my age (36), though there will be no cap. All Official content and UA will be allowed. I have the legendary bundle on DnDBeyond, so anyone who is part of the group will have shared access to all published material, so no need to purchase any module you don’t have. I have a discord channel we can use for communication. As for me: My name is Aaron, I will initially be playing Ryder Arawn, a High Elf Rogue (Arcane Trickster) (7) Ranger (Gloom Stalker) (13). Ryder has spent his life as a Redscar Jackal, a guild of roaming hunters who travel the wilds and from town to town, taking bounties on dangerous creatures, bandits and all manner of troublesome fair. Within this band Ryder, though skilled in survival in the wilds, specialized in the urban aspects of the guild’s activities. He has made contacts far and wide, he has an ear to the ground in every city. This life has given him a lot of friends, and possibly as many enemies. Ryder, as of late has been looking for a change though, and rumors of trouble in a mine has sparked his interest. Anyone interested in being part, please post. Thank you.
