DM Looking for players (Please read the post before responding) (18+)

Welcome to Arivand, a quiet and peaceful World… or so you’ve been told. Rumors of dark times coming have begun to spread through the small towns and villages like a wildfire, igniting panic and fear. Are you willing to pack your bags and journey to unravel the mystery?  Gear up and prepare to be an explorer, warrior, diplomat, and all around adventurer. After all you might be Arivands only hope in stopping what’s to come.

Hey Everyone, my names Gavin and I’m planning to run a mid to long term DND campaign in my home-brew world and setting. I have a little bit of DM experience, but this will be my first time running a full home-brew campaign. Role-play, lore, discovery, and combat are the main focuses, as you will be leaving behind the small town you’ve called home and venturing off into the great unknown.

While this is home-brew all DND races, classes, etc are welcome. I only ask that players have a understanding of the game and rules, and an openness to learn and portray their character. And that players are 18+.

Lastly sessions will be held on Saturdays from 6-9 PM PST, either weekly or bi weekly just depending on players availability and what’s going on in life, so expect a little flexibility every now and then. I have tried to put together a party before but received a lot of messages from people who were asking for completely different days and times to play, so please ensure that my timezone and availability will line up with when yours.

If your interested in playing or have any questions please respond to the questions below in a message on here, or on discord Bront3oh3#4169.

What kind of setting would you be looking for: Anything is cool with me. I do tend to prefer either super fantastical or grim dark fantasy. (I know they are polar opposite xD)

Any character ideas?: I have been stewing on wanting to play one of three characters. A divination wizard who is slowly losing his mind. A cheerful young "bard" who made a pact with a fey in order to be a bard like his dad was. Or a circle of spores druid who is a goblin. 

What do you expect from me as a dm?: I just expect you to do your best and hopefully have fun!

How talkative are you on a scale from one to 10?: Most of the time I'm probably a 4 (I tend to listen more then speak) but if I feel comfortable I can easily be an 8 or 9.

Hi, I don't know if you are still accepting applications to your D&D Monday campaign, but I decided to apply just in case.

name: Em

age: 18

experience: around 2 years of actual play for D&D as well as about 5 years of watching and listening to online games.

what kind of setting would you be looking for: I am looking for a world that allows for full character development and allows the players to explore aspects of the world that they enjoy. I personally love a more fantasy aspect mixed in with normal adventures. I love personal intrigue and connecting backstories to the world.

favorite part of dnd: Roleplay and exploration.

any character ideas: a couple, but my favorite part of dnd is creating a character that fits in with the world, so I like to work with my DM to create parts of my backstory.

what do you expect from me as a dm: I expect my set boundaries to not be crossed, and I expect you to take into consideration every players feelings and happiness. I personally, love when different aspects of a world are explored, like politics. I want to make sure everyone, including the dm is having a good time playing;

how talkative are you on a scale from one to 10: with people I am comfortable with, 8. I do like to let people have their moments though. I wouldn't interrupt people, as that is one of the things I hate to have happened to me.

are you familiar with roll20: yep, around 2 years of experience, although I am by no means an expert.

Any other questions or comments: I would love to learn more about the world and what you have planned, but overall not off the top of my head.
