Many thanks to everyone for your interest and very enthusiastic responses! I currently have a full group for my game at this time.
Happy Questing (and Holidays) to everyone! - Kas
Game: D&D 5e Group type: Online Experience: A few years or veteran Location/Timezone: EST-EDT Schedule: Sessions to run 4-5 hours between 4 pm to midnight on Saturdays. Roles sought: Looking for 3-4 players. Game style: A good mix of roleplay, combat, and exploration.
About myself: I started playing Dungeons & Dragons in the early 1980s, mostly as the Dungeon Master, beginning with the Basic D&D 'Red Box' through 3.5, then had a lengthy hiatis just before 4E came about. I returned to D&D in 2021 and have since run a two year 5E campaign set in the Forgotten Realms at a local shop. With the arrival of D&D Maps I am now starting an online campaign.
My feeling is that D&D is a team based game with each character providing their own unique strengths and abilities. No matter if the party is predominantly Good, Neutral, or Evil, when you're five levels deep in a slime filled dungeon, or that horde of demon-ogres is about to come swarming through the city-gates, if you dont have each others backs, it's not going to end well for anyone. In plain terms, no backstabbing among the players.
I encourage roleplay and character growth as well as healthy dose of combat and exploration. Character backstory will be worked out between the DM and player, subject to DM approval to fit the campaign world (and DM's evil plans). Character romances with NPCs are acceptable, but anything past an R rating happens 'offstage'. Combat can be carnage strewing mayhem if they party chooses a direct path, but, finding a clever solution to talk yourself out of a fight, or setting up an ambush or trap to swiftly take down foes with no risk, may earn even more experience than simple slaughter.
I am most familiar with the Forgotten Realms setting, but also have experience running games in the World of Greyhawk, Darksun, Mystara, Spelljammer, and Planescape. Some worlds I've not yet run a campaign in but would love to are the Scarred Lands, Aventyr, Midgard, or the Lost Lands.
My expectations: Show up on time and be ready to play. Those who frequently miss sessions will be replaced. If you can't make a session, please give me as much advance notice as you possible.
While this will be a serious game, humor is encouraged when expressed appropriately IN CHARACTER.
Respect your fellow players. Out of character racism, sexism, LGBTQ-phobia, real-life politics, and religion have no place here. Also, at different times, one character may feature more prominently in a roleplay or action scene. Let them have their moment to shine knowing your character will have their own opportunities in the spotlight.
Respect your DM. In character you can argue something all you want, until who ever it is with throws a punch, breaths fire, or orders your head cut off. Out of character, rulings by the DM are final during gameplay. Rule interpretations and house rules can be discussed or modified between games if agreed upon by a majority.
Know the lore and history of the setting. Know how your character's race fits in. Learn the class you picked and what your abilities are without having to stop game play and consult a book each time your turn comes up.
There will be adult themes in this campaign. There will be BAD people doing BAD things to innocent helpless people (maybe even your character). Villains are villains for a reason, and the more I make you hate them, the more satisfying it will be when you take them down. That said, safety tools will be discussed during Session Zero before the campaign begins.
Be honest, if you're not having fun, or have a problem with something about the game, it should be brought up privatedly with me between sessions.
As I receive replies I would like to begin with a few one-shots scenarios as a warm up to see how everyone likes my style of play, and, how well everyone does, or doesn't, mesh together as a team. Once we have three or four solid players, we can begin a long term campaign.
Technical requirements: A stable internet connection and a working mic that we can clearly hear you with no background. Play will be through Discord voice chat. All characters must be made on D&D Beyond. I will be sharing official and homebrew materials.
The next steps: If you're interested and have your Saturday evenings and nights free, post a reply to me here with your Discord for contact and I'll reach out.
If your still looking for players, I would love a chance to play. My name is Curtis, 37 years old, male and with a bit of experience playing. I’ve been playing for around …. nearing the two year mark at this point?

Hello, I played D&D in the mid-80's a few times and just started playing again in August of this year. I do read Forgotten Realms books and am familiar with a lot of the species, classes, lore, etc. I'd love to play! - Steven aka bardic.pisces on Discord
Greetings! I too started with AD and D in the '80's and still have the original core rule books. I recently rediscovered my love of this game and have been playing a bit with friends and on the twilight realms discord server. I have a basic understanding of the 5e rules (also have copies of the core rulebooks) and have been using the Avrae bot and DnDBeyond character generation. Will you be using a dice bot in discord? I am happy to play any class to benefit the party but am partial to Paladins. I am based in the US (EST) and Saturdays work well for me. If you have slots open and would like to discuss please contact me at uglak#9987 on discord .
I'm interested in joining your campaign. My name is mason and 33. I have been playing for a few years. Currently, I am running my own homebrew on Wednesdays. I'm just looking to play. My discord is gamble9697.
I'd love a shot at a one-shot with you; the campaign teaser you crafted is just what I've been looking for. I too have a long but intermittent history with RPGs - as player, as DM, and simply as one who admires the creative realms available. Thankfully I have a fiber optic feed, decent hardware and a flexible schedule - as well as a reasonably active imagination and generous character.
I too had some time with D&D back in the mid '80s. I took a long time off and just got back into this about a year ago. Your day (Sat.) and Time (4-12) encompass my goldilocks time. If selected, I look forward to discussing this further. Please reach me at phylor13. Thank you for your time.
ey homie, if ur still lookn this all sounds great. and even if ur not i would super appreciate maybe keeping my discord in ur pock in case u need a new player. my discord is darkmagicjohnson

Time Zone: EST
Little about me: I’ve been playing DnD 5e since I was in 8 grade, but I’ve only really played with one group of people. I really want to play with new faces to experience DnD with a different subset of people. I want to see some new playstyles and meet some like my own. I like a gritty, more serious tone with a bit of weird and wanderlust. I also really want to try a battlemap for once (very experienced with theater of the mind) and finally get into a long running campaign.
[Player Description]
Inspiration for PC – I try to pick out a combat style for my character then fit the character around it or vice versa. It feels like an interesting process, but I generally try to make out of the box characters, for me inspo can simply come a picture or even a line of dialogue. (It’s all about the flavor for me!)
Preferred Role – DPS; Most of the time my characters are damage focused. I won’t be upset if I’m not doing the most damage in the party and support roles aren’t of the question, I just tend to play offensive characters.
Motivation to Play – Serious roleplay really excites me especially if it is meaningful. I enjoy exploring others’ characters as much as my own (including NPCs) and high stakes battles really get the heart pumping. I try to find different ways to interact with the DMs story as well (DMing before myself I know a lot of things go undiscovered). Icing on the cake is always a world with a kickass concept I’m willing to explore. Backstory is also very important to me, not just mine but discovering my fellow players’ stories as well.
Play Style – My playstyle is often times flexible depending on what character I play. However, I will often ask the DM questions naturally due to my obsession to flavor things. In summary, DM is the rule (whatever the DM will allow I will abide by).
What I may want out of a group: Consistency, Cooperation, Roleplay, Combat, Communication
Discord: iconic_nobody
If you want to any feedback about your games as well while I’m your player don’t be afraid to ask!
I also am looking for 2 if you have an extra slot open, thanks for reading.
I'm unsure if you're still looking for players or not, but I am interested.
I'm a new player that's a late teenager & I'm searching for an adventurous high fantasy campaign with a good balance of combat & RP. I wanna play a Variant Human Barbarian, but I have a couple of other characters I have made if you need something different.
Again, I'm new so some assistance in things I'm not all too familiar in would be appreciated (Especially knowing what each monster looks like.)
Unsure if your still on the look out for active players. I am looking to find a constant group to join for some fun. I have been playing D&D casually for a long time, though still new to 5E.
Otherwise I meet all of your expectations and I am very active! My discord is linyvine please let me know if you have room.
I've been looking to join a group of dedicated individuals in hopes of finding a long term campaign. I'm also an old school gamer and my background in the hobby has followed a similar path to your own. I also enjoy using D&D beyond character sheets and I'm excited to see D&D maps in play.
I believe I have a lot to bring to the table and I would love to chat more about joining you! If you're still looking for a player, please hit me up on discord!
If you wanted some info, Im relatively newish still. I played dnd twice a month for about a year and half before our group disbanded and have been a DM once a month for about a year.
I've always used Roll20 for maps and combat and personally never used DnD beyond for maps or character creation, I have always used an app with all the books my old DM showed me so I would need to look into it more and buy specific races/classes I would want to use.
I haven't done much serious gaming and have always been more laid back and play my character a little before deciding on they playstyle and attitude, but I've also never done a session 0 or an actual session of finding out what kind of character I want.
If you still need people and would want to see if I fit here's my Discord: beaches55
Sounds like a hoot. Here is the requisite information:
Game: D&D 5e
Group preferred: Online (Discord/Beyond/Roll20)
Experience: Veteran (old, crusty grognard)
Location/Timezone: EST
Availability: ANY time
Preferred role: Player, though I have a lot of DM experience
Game style: Relatively casual; let's not take ourselves (or the magic elf game) too seriously
Preferred class: Sorcerer or Bard
Discord: malinthas
My background is similar to others' here. I am 45 years old and have been playing D&D since my spotty youth. I started when stats meant you'll roll 3d6, 6 times, in order, and like it! I have played every version of D&D out there, including the blighted 4th edition. My heart lives on Krynn. Also a bunch of other systems, from Pathfinder to GURPS. I am cursed as a ForeverDM™ and looking to play again. By Mordenkainen's moldy merkin, I want to play again!
Hello Kasrendy! I would be interested in a spot in your campaign if there any room left. I recently have been looking to join a long term campaign I should be available any time Saturday for the sessions that you plan on hosting or most days besides sundays. I have previous experience with dnd 5e from couple campaigns that were hosted by my friends.
If your interested please contact me at my discord at sheogorath_
If you're still looking and the group is okay starting after 8pm, I'd like to throw my hat into the ring. Looking for a stable group with good story elements. Only been playing 5e a year but am a veteran of 3.5 and 4e having mostly DMed in the past. Discord is HobGungan (#2626).
