Game: D&D 5e
Group type: Online using Zoom and DndBeyond
Experience: A few years / veteran. 35 and older. Strong role players preferred.
Location/Timezone: US Central from 6pm to about 9pm every Saturday starting February 12 
Schedule: Every Saturday starting February 12 with occasional weeks off 
Roles sought: A balanced party of 4 players for an urban campaign settings
Game style: Theater of the mind using Zoom and DndBeyond. A good balance of role playing, exploration and combat.

The campaign starts in Waterdeep with the story arc of "Waterdeep Dragon Heist". Therefore, if you have played Dragon Heist before, this campaign is not for you. Characters will advance from 1st level to 5th level and gain significant influence in Waterdeep shaping the Dragon Heist story. If we decide to continue past that point, the party will venture beyond Waterdeep in pursuit of goals that can take them to 12th level or beyond and to world-wide renown. Overall, the campaign will have a good balance of role playing, exploration and combat though individual sessions may focus more in one area than others.

The campaign will run every other week on Saturday nights from 6pm to about 9pm Central US time starting February 19. We may skip weeks from time to time based on group preferences.

About Me

I've been DMing since first edition in the 70s. Over the last couple of years I've moved from in-person to online gaming. I play Dungeons and Dragons for fun. To that end, I play a rules-light style with a strong focus on putting story first. I play 100% theater of the mind so I do not use a virtual table top. I do not debate rules or go searching for them in game. When in doubt, I will make a ruling to keep the game moving.

I accept players from diverse backgrounds and allow them to be the character of their choice. The players are the heroes of the story we tell and so I empower them to accomplish heroic deeds. However, heroic deeds do not come without risk. Therefore, death is a real threat and resurrection is rare and incredibly difficult to obtain. Note that if you character dies and cannot be resurrected, you will be able to create a new character at the same level to replace the character that died in the next session.
