Does your party need two more reliable players who will put as much thought into the game as you do?
About us:
My longtime friend and I are men in our mid-thirties; for most of the year we're separated by thousands of miles, and playing this game together online is a fun way to regularly hang out.
We've played in one 5e campaign so far, and we'd invested a lot of time before that learning about the game (including the DM perspective, like from Matt Colville). You will not need to hold our hands and teach us about our character sheets, what actions we can take in combat, or basic D&D etiquette. I'm the kind of player who knows his allies' capabilities as well as his own.
We are grown-ups who know the value of clear communication and respecting others' time. We're not flaky.
I'm usually on Eastern Time, and my friend's on Pacific Time. We can be available starting as early as 4:30pm Pacific Time on Monday/Wednesday/Thursday, or 8pm Pacific Time on Friday (maybe earlier, but not every Friday of the month). I stay up obscenely late, so don't worry about it running late on Eastern Time.
My main goal is to make things fun for other players. I want to help get everyone immersed in the story. I will take notes, and I'll think about your world and about the other characters in between sessions.
Although my friend and I watch Critical Role, we don't expect you to be Matthew Mercer. But if you are running a game in Exandria, I should mention that I'm extremely knowledgeable about that setting: I'm one of the very top all-time contributors to the Critical Role Wiki. So I can help make the setting feel deeper for other players.
We have character concepts we can adapt to different settings. I'm mainly interested in playing a sorcerer (probably a very supportive Divine Soul, maybe a surprisingly well-adjusted Aberrant Mind), but I have some other ideas, including martial characters. My friend has concepts for a Life cleric (a reformed bandit), a Battle Master fighter (a naïve but capable young man like d'Artagnan), a Way of Mercy monk, and a Draconic sorcerer (a dragonborn obsessed with becoming a dragon), depending on what the party needs.
We have good microphones, bought for this purpose. We also have decent cameras. We have experience with D&D Beyond, Owlbear Rodeo, and Discord, and we can quickly learn whatever other software you're using (Roll20, etc.).
We can handle mature themes. That said, we're not looking to play evil characters.
About you:
Your game is usually live, not play-by-post. You're not purely running "theater of the mind" for combat.
You are not streaming your game to the world.
You expect us to show up no more frequently than once a week.
You want attentive players who appreciate the time and thought you put into running the game.
If that all sounds promising, I look forward to hearing from you here or on Discord (Durandal#7285).
Hello adventurers, my name is Icebreaker. I wanted to tell you about my Professional Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign happening on Thursdays at 6 PM EST. The time is somewhat flexible to accommodate for you and your friend's schedules. It is a brand new campaign that has yet to start. I would be happy to answer any questions you have here, or on discord. My discord handle is Icebreaker#6253.
