looking for a DM for my family $$

Hi, I want my family of five (my wife and I and 3 boys) to play a few games of D&D or something similar (must be 5e) to see if they like it. In this Covid world options for family fun are limited and I used to love to play as a kid.  this will obviously be a learning experience for us so patients is a must. If your interested please respond to post  or pm me with experience and desired rate of pay.  my boys are 11 12 and 14.  we are looking for an every other week but a one off to start with. if they like it and we like you we would like to do something longer term.  thanks so much. 
My name is Shouray, I'm a 20 year old Law Student, and I've been DMing D&D for around six years at this point. I have experience with D&D 3.5, 4e, 5e and many other RPGs. My games have ranged from casual to ultra-serious, from Comedy to Horror and from level 1 to level 20. I love RPGs and I love storytelling, so I should be a good pick for your group. I have approximately 1000 hours of play on Roll20 alone, with experience DMing in real life as well as on a game called "Tabletop Simulator", where I have a further 1000 hours. Roleplaying is an escape for me, and in hectic times like the one we live in today, I think we all need an escape.      My Playstyle: There is a range to my playstyle. I can run a railroad story based game just as well as a sandbox go-anywhere-do-anything type game, and I'm decent at homebrewing settings of my own as well as playing already established modules. I own pretty much all released D&D books and can import in spells and information for you to peruse. For groups that like maps, I can provide battlemaps as well as city-maps for ease of reference but if you like theatre-of-the-mind, I can do that pretty well too. I can run Paranoia, D&D 5e, 4e, 3.5e, Shadowrun(bit rusty with that one, ahahaha), Call of Cthulhu 7e, Delta Green, Dungeon World and many more. If you have a game in mind, you're welcome to ask!          What to expect in a game I run -> A long term game that runs consistently every week for a long time. -> Rewarding of unique solutions and deviations from the story based on your actions. -> Your actions actually changing the world around you. -> Going entirely homebrew if needed. -> Rule of Cool being honored. -> A serious enviroment for roleplaying and yet having fun as much as we can. -> A memorable time that you will hopefully enjoy. -> Lots of Roleplay.        What I provide in my games: I use animated battlemaps when the chance arises I have Syrinscape and Music that I load into Roll20 individually with a curated playlist depending on the game you're playing I'm always available, at any given time I import any and everything that you may need I will homebrew classes, races or subclasses with you to make sure you enjoy the game I always have Dynamic Lighting based battlemaps for any combat that you might go through I consider myself a decent storyteller and also decent at improvisation I own all the modules available on Roll20 and have put alot of my own money into them I will make token macros for anything that your character can do to make things easier on you Hope you'll consider me for your group! You can contact me on Discord at  OriginalUsername#4148 if you're interested.

Hey Kevin, I love DMing for younger people, because I really enjoy being able to draw them into the game and give them the chance to just have fun. When it comes to D&D I prefer to bend the rules if it will give people a cool moment or have a chance to try something interesting. With the age of your lads, I would definitely want to run a game based around a small town, with some of the classic D&D creatures and monsters to meet, interact and fight with. What's Dungeons and Dragons without the dragons? Probably some sort of homebrew campaign so we can work out what they most enjoy and then do a lot of that! I've been DMing for 3 years now, and in a paid capacity for the last year. I usually charge $10 USD per session, per player, and I run my games using Discord for voice chat. Also patience is something I definitely have in regards to games, and I don't think I've ever ran a game without at least 1 new player. Also I am no stranger to running new players through character creation and helping them build something that they will enjoy. I would love to work something out to help your family have an awesome time together. So please let me know if you want to chat more!
My name is Dwain, i am 65 years old. I have been playing and DMing D&D for a very long time. I am not the best but let's see what kind of home brew i can come up with for your family? I see a farm house out in the country with a mother and father and four children....3 boys and a daughter...only the daughter has been kidnapped by a terrible troll. And the family bands together to rescue their child/sibling. While i would most likely make this story battle driven along with conversations in a town getting skills and weaponry, i believe that true role play comes from immersion into the world and into the character you are playing. When u understand that this "character" might die the bond u gain with it makes it come alive in your mind. Then actual role play can happen. I have never in my life charged for a game but i could see being gifted a book i don't have on roll20 or a module or even an art pack. That would add to my ability to run other games as well as yours. I hope you and your family find a great DM and learn to enjoy the endless delight and possibility of D&D. :) dwain
thanks so much everyone. I got a lot of responses and picked a DM for the near future. but i really really appreciate the community response. d20 and their community should be proud.
