Creating a new long-term group for all kinds of weekly games. I'll DM at least the starter game and we'll see who runs the next one. This is when the future long-term group is forged too as we get to know each other and our play styles a bit better. Longer campaigns are possible too, although I probably can't run them myself with my current time resources.
I've ran this particular adventure for a local group of first timers before. I expect it to take around 4-5 x 3 hour online sessions, depending on the newcomer/veteran-ratio.
How to join the group:
1. Read this entire post carefully. There is some crucial info in there.
2. Reply or PM me with whatever you feel is important about yourself / this group / playing. This is not a job interview, I'm practically looking for friends. So you don't have to impress me, that's why I'd like to know what you consider important and what you value.
Group preferred: Online (Discord), maybe 3 players + DM. Why not four? 4+DM is the optimal party size from a mechanical point of view, but when the amount of players increases by one, the difficulty of finding a suitable time for everyone increases exponentially (well not really exponentially, but kinda...) So I'm thinking logistically.
Preferred kind of people: Kind people. :) Preferably 25+ overall age for the group, but a younger player in the mix is fine. Any political view, any ethnicity, any religion, any culture, any orientation, any gender, any neurotype etc. As long as you want to spread understanding, kindness and joy to those around you.
Experience: Newcomers are welcome too, although I do need at least one other who either can be a DM too or is an experienced player who would like to try DMing .(I'll help you, don't worry)
Location/Timezone: GMT/UTC +2, Finland (Europe). All members of the group need to be within a few hours of this. The further you are from UTC+2, the more flexible your schedules need to be, because -> see Availability.
Availability:
My schedules are both flexible and not flexible at all. The day can be -mon, wed or thu- and doesn't have to be same day each week. Weekends can be arranged, although we do go out of town occasionally. So preferably weekdays. If we miss games, we can occasionally arrange double games to catch up if needed. Sometimes my wife goes out of town with the kids, so I can sometimes play longer weekend games too to catch up.
Now the tricky part on my behalf: I absolutely cannot play before 6PM and on a regular basis I'd like to only play after 7PM. I have 3 small children, with one of them being a toddler and another one having special needs - so my wife is pretty tired too. Our kids go to bed at 8PM. So with a regular weekly game, I'd like to minimize the time that my wife has to take care of them alone to make sure that my hobby doesn't cause her too much distress.
So my playing hours are typically somewhere between 6/7PM-10/11PM (+-3 hour games).
Preferred role: DM / Player
Game style: I enjoy all aspects of roleplaying, so I enjoy balanced games. I'm a heavy roleplayer so when in character, I like to speak as the character etc. I'm a bit bored with levels 1-4 because game-mechanically the characters are so simple and I've played lots of games within that level frame.
Thanks! I hope we can find an awesome group of players! :)
Hello there I would be interested in joining. I am on GMT time. After 6pm suits me perfectly as I also have children who have a lot of after school activities. I know how to create the basics of characters and understand some of the rolls but havnt grasped all the ins and outs of playing yet.
This post looks like it could be mine. Seriously I'm from Finland, my kid goes to bed at 8 and I've been a dm and a player - althou just now I'm looking for a player role. Also, I'm bored of levels 1-4, not strickly against it, but preferably 3+, ideally 5+.
I am up for dming one shots, but I currently have one campaign going, and because of my kid and well life, I can only dm one group.
Would love to chat more to see what happens!
There was no info in the post, but if you use discord, you can add me Vapaalla#9297
Edit: Forgot to mention, 36 years, been playing since 2018, homebrew DM, starter and in total 10+ campaigns deep. I have over 100 character's ready to play - backstories need fleshing out of course. Also, I've been around long enough to know that kindness is the way to go, in all situations.
I actually got an idea last night, because many seem to have limited time for DMing.
The starter game's setting is very generic. Basically I haven't fleshed out anything except the valley where it takes place. So outside of that valley, there are no limits, no existing lore. Nothing is off limits.
So if we get a few DMs, then we could expand from there. After the starter quest, the party could continue their adventure to the next place.
And the next short adventure is made by a different DM. The previous DM just creates a PC that matches the party level.
And keeping an open mind, the next region and adventure can be completely different despite of being part of the same world. Maybe some sort of a consistency/story/theme develops, but it's not necessary.
That works. I have suggested something similar to one of my groups. My idea was to have one shots prepared by all the players/dms. Then if the main campaign would take a turn which had to be prepared for a while or dm could not make it, we could play someone's one shot instead.
I have something readyish for this kind of playstyle. Something around 10 hours of playtime.
One cool thing would also be to have freedom yo change characters between dm's if one so wishes. This would allow players to try various characters instead of locking into one for years. Of course one could keep the existing one too. Not something that has to happen, but something we could discuss about. I'm fine not switching too.
How do we proceed? Where do we take this discussion from the forums?
Hello, I don’t realy have any of experience as a D&D player nor a DM but I'm willingto learn. I'm 22, hoping that its not too young to your liking. I live in GMT +1 and I would like to join your group. My dicord is Ravnica#3331
I'll get back to you on this when I get a bit better. Got the flu and not feeling well right now. Nothing serious, just a bit difficult to think/plan ahead. 😄
Hey! i might be a bit late to the party but I will still give it a shot.
My name is Even and i am 27 years old. i have been playing DND regularly/weekly for almost 2 years now.
i am looking to join a group to be able to play DND again, I am currently the DM for two other groups and am starting to feel a little bit burned out and just want to get the chance to be a player for once again!
But i do love being DM and would be more than happy to run One Shots or even Campaigns again. I have a big folder filled with One Shots to play and have probably 2-3 modules from WOTC that I would love to run at some point. So yeah I am happy to be in both shoes but would really enjoy being able to be a player for a few sessions before switching!
I live in austria so I am 1 hour behind you guys which is perfect for me. i come home from work around 16:00 everyday so for me sessions would start either at 17:00 or 18:00 and end exactly when i should get ready for bed :D
During the week I am very flexible with my time the only day I can never be available is Friday as i run my Strixhaven Campaign every friday. But of course if it ever occurs that friday is the only possible day I am more than happy to switch my schedule up for the group.
So maybe i will hear from you again and I am looking forward to that!
Oh i should add that this is not my main DNDBeyond account. I actually have almost all the content bought but I share it with a friend of mine and I don't want them to get spammed with messages while I try to find a game :D I also have the master tier subscriptions so i am more than happy to share my content with the rest if needed.
Edit: I should add the best way to reach me is on Discord. My Tag is Evenstarlights#6969
Hi there! I know I am a little late to the party but if there is a room I'd love to join! My name is Alex and I am 20 so I hope that is not too young for the group! I love long-term campaigns and making friends so that way we have games going around and around!
Experience/ Preferred Role: Player or DM I do prefer players but I am willing to DM the majority of my experience which is I may about 4 years is mainly as a player in tons of homebrew campaigns. I have Dm 10 one-shots and a three-shot campaign, I have also been a co-DM in a campaign, and what my friends and I call secretary. I organize the times, availability of every player, organization of the server, categorize information, keep track of health at times, keep track of initiative, add bots, play music, etc. So I am well-rounded and more than willing to DM at times.
Location/Timezone: My time zone is PST GMT -8 so I am 10 hours behind I am willing to be flexible but of course, as I described below I do work so see below for my restrictions.
Availability: My availability changes on days of the week because I am a nurse at an assisted/independent living facility. So I work four days on and two days off. So as of writing this on 1/2/23, I'm on my first day off tomorrow is my last. Then my next days off will be Sunday Monday 1/8/23 & 1/9/23 Then Saturday Sunday, Saturday Friday, and so on. I work from 2:30 pm PST GMT -8 till 11:00 pm PST GMT -8. I will be accessible before or after need a heads up if it's before so I can get up earlier
Game style: I love roleplaying it's my favorite part of DND I love roleplaying with my fellow players, NPC, dream scenes, etc you name it I love it. I was a theater kid in school so I attach myself to my characters. So FYI I may cry at times or even yell like my character cause I feel it lol. I also do enjoy combat but not too much cause then it feels repetitive to me at times.
Game: D&D 5e

Hey
That sounds really good. More then happy to take a turn at DM as well. I'm looking to learn all aspects.
That works. I have suggested something similar to one of my groups. My idea was to have one shots prepared by all the players/dms. Then if the main campaign would take a turn which had to be prepared for a while or dm could not make it, we could play someone's one shot instead.

Hey,
I am an experienced DM that would love to get some rotation between games for a change.
I am down to run some short character driven campaigns, as long as we come up with a healthy balance within the group.

Hi! I'm interested in joining!
I'm in EST time, and I'm also a student, meaning I might be only able to play on the weekends. I hope that will be ok.
