We are a group of 3 who have been playing together for about a year now. Unfortunately, our current DM is having some RL issues which prevent him from DMing and playing for the time being. We want to give him the time he needs, but we also want to play. None of us mind temporarily taking up the DM seat, but that obviously only leaves 2 players and we do prefer playing together anyway.
This does obviously raise a few questions. How long will we be playing with you? Will we go back to our current DM when he can DM again? Will he join us and play? Could he take over as DM so you can play for once? As much as we would like to answer those questions, we can’t answer them right now. It is a bridge we will have to cross when we get there. We do all have some DMing experience from running one-shots for our group here and there, so we can do a one-shot every once in a while to give you more time to prep the next session and just take a break from DMing and enjoy the game as a player.
We are in the age range of mid-twenties to mid-thirties, so a DM in the same age range would be nice. We are LGBTQ+ friendly and live in GMT and GMT+1. We are available to play on Sunday, all day, and on Monday and Tuesday in the evenings. Evenings only starting mid-March/early-April. We have been playing using roll20, Beyond, and Owlbear, while using discord for voice and video. Yes, we do prefer playing with video so we don’t talk over each other too much.
We are an RP heavy group and don’t mind a session where it is just character interaction and no combat at all. We don’t mind two PC’s or a PC and an NPC talking to each other for a few minutes if it grows the relationship between the characters for better or worse. We do enjoy combat, of course, but there is no need to force an encounter for our group.
Our preference goes to someone who wants to run a few one-shots (with the same characters or different ones. We are all character creating machines.) for us to see if their DM style fits our play style and possibly grow that to a short or long term campaign. We prefer homebrew, but don’t mind a module either.
Last but not least, we are not looking for a paid DM. Not because we are cheapskates, but because we want you to enjoy DMing for us and not consider it a job.

Hi Anna25, if you are happy to work with a fairly new DM (I've been DM-ing for about a year) I'm free to run some sessions for you. Sundays would be great for me if that is a day that works for your group and we can have a chat about what you would like to play. It is OK for me if your group aren't sure about how how things might go forward in the future - I'm happy to DM for you for as long as you need :)
I've borrowed your list from above to provide a little more information about the campaign I've been working on in case it is helpful. It is entirely up to you if you'd like to play the campaign through and see how you go (though it might be a bit long!), if you'd like to play a section of it as a mini-campaign or if you'd prefer to play one-shots. I'll likely draw scenarios from the campaign I've made but can try something new if you'd prefer a different style to mine. I also prefer to run a one-shot with a new group to see if you like how I DM, so am more than happy to do that for your group. If you'd like to carry on after that, we can talk about what you'd like to play.
System: Homebrew D&D5E
Group Type: Online (Discord for voice and video) I use Discord to run games, plus screenshare for location maps/battlemaps as needed. I'm not the most high-tech of DMs, but so far this seems to have worked quite well.
Timezone: GMT/GMT+1, based in Liverpool, UK
Schedule: Monday/Tuesday evenings I can do from 7:00pm-10:00pm; Sundays I am available all day, though I may have to request a different day to play if Life things come up at weekends, as I work 9-5 Monday-Friday.
Game Style: High Fantasy exploration/roleplay. Combat included, but I tend towards only putting it in if it fits with the story.
EXP System: Milestone. I usually start players at Level 1 so they can build their characters up right from the start, but can be flexible with this if you'd prefer to start at higher level.
Language: English
Paid: Nope, I DM for free
I've taken your Discord and will ping you a request, so if you'd like to have a chat about things, please do let me know! My Discord is TrevvicusRex#8336
