Game: D&D 5e Group type: Online Experience: Veteran DM of many TTRPGs still learning 5e Location/Timezone: Texas/CDT Schedule: Weds 6 pm to 9 pm. Roles sought: full Game style: mix of RP, combat
I am looking for a group of folks and a place to start DMing again. I'm retired, so I don't have a 9-5 job. This isn't an ad for pay-to-play. If you have to pay me to run the game, you won't be able to afford me. I do have other commitments. I have source material and basically everything else I need to run the game except for a group of folks that are interested in playing. I used to run all kinds of TTRPGs and I enjoy playing and running the games. I had the 2e stuff memorized, as well as lots of the older content. And it was easy because there were only a handful of books. 5e is over two dozen now. I haven't memorized them all ... yet. So I'm still working on becoming comfortable with the new 5e system. The group is currently 6th level and our tank just had to drop because of work conflicts. It is ToTM with a Webcam feed for maps and miniatures using Discord for voice and DDB for players rolls. I am a veteran and I fully support acceptance and personal choice. I would prefer 18+ players but might make an exception if a parent or older sibling is also playing in the group. Young, old, newish player, veterans, and in between. This is a magic heavy world.
Rules as written except for:
(1) No customized origin for racial stats. - no longer an issue with MotM releases.
(2) No content from books I don't own, or if I do own it, haven't had a chance to read yet. So no, if you buy me a copy of the book and hand it to me that doesn't mean it's suddenly legal to play. No unofficial content. There are some things that I might never get around to reading. This doesn't stop me from using mobs from books you don't own and have never read. This is the content I currently own either physically or on DDB. PHB, MM, DMG, Volos, Sword Coast, EGtW, TCoE, Essentials Kit, Starter Set, Tortles. I have the new Monsters of the Multiverse book as well. I also own the Grung on DDB, but in practice, you might find it is an unplayable race. I also have the Warforged and the other races from that Eberron book.
(3) There is what you know as a player, and what your character knows. Sometimes I don't care. Sometimes I will.
(4) Natural 20s on a roll won't allow a bard to seduce a dragon. Natural 20s work like they are written. So do Natural ones.
(5) As far as evil characters, races, or classes or subclasses. Assume every single quest or mission you get will be from someone that is Good, so they just won't hire you. The city guards and people will not trust you. You will face disadvantage(s) on almost every roll in town. It will suck for you. Since you have been warned I won't feel sorry for you. So just say not to a anything evil, or is associated with necromancy or the blacker side of magic. Fallen Assimar, Tieflings, spore druids, Way of the Long Death, assassins, phantoms, and most of the warlocks subclasses. Technically I don't disallow them. You just won't get hired. So it's really not going to be as much fun to play.
(6) Make something interesting to play. If you build a one-dimensional character. You will get bored and more importantly, I will get bored with you too. You will run into mobs that can challenge you, or attack with stuff that requires stat saves in Wis, Int, or Cha so pure damage is not going to work all the time. If you want to trash my NPCs, burn down taverns, steal from shops, you will get famous. See (5) above.
(7) Be a team player, high tide raises all boats. If you want to run a party of all damage and no support you will die. It's boring. I don't care. I don't have shops that sell a ton of healing potions. Yes, you can try and long rest a lot. Try, being the operative word there. I was often the person that also created a healer or support character in many groups I played in. There were groups that just made my gaming experience boring, and I left the groups. I also have had experiences where I was invited back after a while and found out they were still playing my old character as an NPC.
If you get thru all of this and are still interested then comment with just a class and race and the name of a spell that doesn't exist. I don't always answer DMs from unexpected sources.
I'm retired with no schedule limitations. I'm an experienced player, but I'm still learning 5e Looking for a group that has a healthy mix of hack and slash and Roleplaying. enough RP to make it fun and different from MMORPGs and enough hacking and slashing to so I don't feel like a bought a bunch of dice just to have them collect dust.
My Mondays are spoken for though, so if you opt for that over Tuesdays I wouldn't be available

Thanks for your service. I took the oath when I was 17. It was during the cold war and I spent the time serving the TXARNG. I am well aware of the risk of 'stuff' happening.
If you don't mind goblin catching some occasional crap. Being in the military, I'm sure you have had your share of crap from people you didn't deserve. If you live long enough you can become famous enough to take less crap from folks. I also am keenly aware that I didn't specify that the class and race you listed was required to be the one you wanted to play :P
I'll add you to the PM I have started.

The person that responded that they couldn't play Mon hasn't responded to my PM. Joined the Discord server or my DDB campaign. If he doesn't respond and we have the flexibility to go back to Monday. So you might be sitting pretty on the waitlist :P I reached out to someone that posted LFG that is hoping for it to move to Weds/Thurs that is also has a spot on the waitlist. We will lock down a day once the dust settles.

Hello. I'm not sure whether to write here or on your facebook page. While I'm somewhat new to D&D, I have over 15 years experience in an ongoing Fate-based TTRPG group, and would love to branch out.
