[Paid] Group of 5 players looking for an experienced DM.

Hey, we've got 5 players who use Discord and Roll20. We just need a DM to run the show. All new characters (published content) starting from level 1-5. Current plan for us is Friday nights. 21+ years of age. Pay is 10$ per session (total, not per person). At least 3 hour sessions.    We're looking for a DM who can essentially do three things: 1) Give players options to go off the linear story line (we'll find our way back to the overarching plot eventually), 2) Provide an experience that actually cares about specific mechanics such as weight management, rationing food, each player's known languages, etc., 3) A heavy focus on RP over combat. Probably like 60% RP to 40% combat or even 70% RP to 30% combat.  Leave a comment or message me if you're interested. I'll add you to the Discord and we can discuss details and see if everything would be a good fit. Thanks for your consideration!

Hey! I posted something similar to what you looking for the other day. If you haven't found a DM and are interested in Curse of Strahd, hit me up!

Professional DMs set their price, not the players.

20+ yrs experience, published ttrpg writer, several discord servers, official website/YT/podcast & more in production via an upcoming gaming/promotional co...if you're interested, I could definitely make things work. And pricing would be $10 per person, as DMs would set their pricing, as mentioned; unless otherwise agreed upon. 

Is the system 5E? Players Ages? I don't charge for my games, but do use a lot of house rules and home brew material.

I feel like I shouldn't have to say this but I'm gonna.  I'm a professional DM and if players want to pay their DM for playing with them? Then that's really cool because most of the time DM's don't get paid at all. Please do not go around smacking people down for offering to pay their DM for time and energy.  Be a professional about it.

Call up a plumber and tell them how much you will pay them then if you are so knowledgeable about how a professional works...

Depending on how urgently you want to start… A few weeks after Easter, I plan to start up a campaign to run over summer. I know this is a bit into the future, but a campaign is a long commitment and some planning might be a good thing.   I would define it as : More fairy tale than fantasy, more adventure than action. It will be semi-political, in the same way Zorro or Robin Hood is political. A lot of the game will revolve around local NPCs   Practical stuff -It is a local sandbox style. Meaning free options within a geographical region, a few days travel in all directions. -Levling is slow paced. Enjoy the moment. It also is less important because there is a focus on social interactions -I don’t charge for games (keeping track of taxes is more work than it is worth. Always get a receipt when you buy services. Tax evaders ruin fair competition). -The adventure is about level 1 to 5. I have no further material to continue after that point, but hey, that’s a later problem. -Personality is everything. I see it as an advantage that you are a group of friends, but I will need som sort of presentation. -TIME …what time-zone are you in?

If you  are happy to make and run a game for $10 then more power to you.  I charge more than that per person for the level of work I put in, and 90%+ of the professional DMs I am familiar with charge similar rates if not much more. I was trying to be helpful and let them know that a professional DM will let them know how much they charge and they can take it or leave it, but that offering such a low amount was akin to dangling a baitless hook and hoping for a bite. Remember kids, in D&D, as in life, you usually get what you pay for...

The DM is right - I am also a paid gm - and 10 dollars per person per session does not cover anything really- 4-hour sessions - so 4 players a group = 10 an hour just to run - not the set up not the books etc.
