Hi, I'm looking to join a game that runs on Tuesdays evenings, 3-4 hour sessions in the 5pm-10pm(EST) slot. Weekly is preferred by every other week is also ok. I am ok to join a fresh game or one in progress, as long as it's not been running super long. I have webcam and mic and would prefer to join a game with other players using both. Game can be paid, free, streamed, whatever. I'm looking for a story driven game with a solid mix of role and roll play. (details below) Discord: nan0tubes#3289 Stats: I'm 34 years old male(he/him) and a software developer. I don't tend to have technical issues unless it is completely beyond my control. Experience: I've been playing D&D for almost 20 years, with some breaks, Starting With AD&D, then 3.5, Pathfinder and now 5e. I've played a handful of other systems but never really got into them. I've ran(and am currently running) several games as well, a couple short games or 1-shots, and a couple longer running games until adult lives cause scheduling to become impossible. I try to do "voices" and my in character role play is improving, but I will drop out of it to get my point across if I cannot think of the words. Character: I don't currently have a specific character in mind, and enjoy playing a wide variety of roles in a party. I always start with WHO not WHAT when building up a new character. After WHO usually comes WHY. I like to let backstory build more naturally as I feel the character out rather than writing half a novel up front. Aspects of D&D I really enjoy, And what I'm looking for: I like D&D combat, and would like to see a healthy dose of it in the game, going more than 2 sessions without turning something to blood paste or ash tends to leave me looking for a fight. I also really like getting to know other players and the world/story through role playing, I like talking to key NPC's and asking good questions, routing out lies with the odd insight check, etc. (And i'm 100% cool with other players using the "jist of" or throwing dice to achieve this) I enjoy treasure hunting and dungeon delving, I'd much rather find and quest for magic gear than simply buy them with gold. I enjoy following up on a character centric story quest, like finding the bards lost grandma, or restoring the dwarfs honour by returning his families heirloom sword. (as long everyone gets their turn) Aspects of D&D I don't really dig, or things I want to limit: I dislike excessive or longterm city content, I'm not much for politics or playing detective. (outside the odd quid pro quo) I don't like a lot of book keeping, so not a fan of tracking things like (food, water, ammo, spell components, encumbrance, etc) I'm not a big fan of survival for the sake of survival or 'realism', unless the players actions lead us to an unexpected severe hardship we have to work our way out of. I'm not much of a fan of dungeon crawling and "optimal play", I don't mind a romp through a dangerous & exhausting dungeon every once in a while, but I shouldn't feel like I need to optimize every turn or lose. Let me know if you have any other questions, i'd be happy to answer. Or if you have a game in need of a player, hit me up here or on Discord(id at the top)
