I run a epic sandbox in the Middle Earth using Adventures in Middle Earth (5E). Currently I run 5 groups in the same time line 3 video and voice and 2 voice. This has been running for 9 months aprox, the sessions are a result of journey tables and encounters are random, groups tend to advance between 6-9 days in game depending on encounters and RP. Sometimes groups can traverse months. Session length varies between groups but is anywhere between 3.5-8hrs, you would expected to run sessions of a minimum of 3hrs, but be open to running longer with personal confidence and player desire. All groups and players are pleasant and patient. (though I'm biased). Essentially I'm looking to move one of groups to production for twitch and content creation. This will require time and investment, that make it difficult to ensure quality across 5 groups while working. As a result I'm looking to work with DM who is willing to learn and operate in the world within the home-brew rules and respond positively to feedback.This opportunity is suited to a DM who strives for strong RP and challenging combat who is open minded about how they can improve. Knowledge of 5E and sandbox games or sandbox epics will be beneficial but not required. It is likely that I will provide the over arching themes and such, though as I become more familiar with you, I would expect to give the co-DM more control and jurisdiction about what they do (villians etc). Though of course consistent implementation of rules across groups is key in a sand box epic so this is likely to be the initial focus (some players are in multiple groups). Ok im interested how do I know if this is for me? the ideal candidate will; 1. have a good knowledge of middle earth and the Simarillion (we operate in the 3rd age 2944 atm) games are lore accurate 2 have a desire to DM in a magic muted world 3. have an understanding of Adventures in Middle Earth by Cubicle 7 4. thrive on the unexpected and have a passion for RP and challenging combat 5. respond well to feedback, and be keen to adopt house rules. 6. desire to engage in monthly dialogue about whats working etc. 7. be willing to run 1 session per month with the goal of moving to one session per week. 8. be passionate about Middle Earth. 9. be comfortable with video and voice Dm'ing Ok so what do I get? 1. the chance to run a group in a sandbox epic, creating a dynamic and fluid world that feels incredibly real 2. the chance to affect alter and tailor the rules and mechanics with experience 3. membership of a friendly community that loves both DnD and Middle Earth. 4. the chance to grow as a DM maybe a person too(?) 5. help co-produce and maybe even stream content from your group when its ready. 6. the chance to sit in on my sessions give feedback and influence DM style across groups. 7. meet new friends :) please note, though I'm currently looking for a co DM. At present the community is not desperate for one, as such it is possible depending on applications I may decide to continue running on my own. Though it would be nice if possible to work towards having a Co-DM over a 3 month period. application process; apply--> voice conversation --> watch a group --> meet a group --> start running sessions once accepted and a group decided upon, you will then run 1 session per month or so depending upon confidence and availability. Then move towards running the same group weekly which will be a voice group. You will have the opportunity to sub for me when required. I expect we would speak regularly (weekly) about how things are going to ensure everyone is happy, in fact weekly or monthly meetings conversations should be expected. Please apply below, and focus on why you want to DM in a sand box epic, why you want to DM in Middle Earth. Why this opportunity appeals to you. Kind Regards Georgia
