Hey everyone! I am looking to put together an online group who is willing to give a new DM a shot! I have around two years of experience as a player, but I have never run a game as a DM before, so keep in mind that I will have a bit of a learning curve. Also, I am a teenager, but all of my previous experience with D&D has been with a group of adults, so I am willing to DM for any age. I do ask that we keep the game as family friendly as possible to make sure that everyone feels comfortable, so there will be some rules on things like that, such as no sexual content will be allowed. I would also ask that you keep cussing to a minimum. Also, I am a Christian, I don’t mind playing with non-Christians just so long as everyone is respectful about that kind of thing. If you are willing to abide by these rules, as well as give me a shot, then I would love to have you as a player!
My plan is to start with a shorter campaign so as to get a feel for the group and make sure everyone gets along and works well together, with the plan of then transitioning into a long-term campaign, which could either be a continuation of the shorter campaign where you use your same characters, or I might write a fully new campaign, I haven’t decided yet.
Here is a short intro to the campaign. Your world has been struck by disaster. The natural elements, Earth, water, fire, and air have simply ceased to function. The great spellcasters and heroes have their hands full keeping the world habitable, and so they can’t work towards solving the problem. You have been recruited to help solve this great mystery before it’s too late! Legend tells of the four great elementals, the sources of the elements themselves. It is your job to find out what has happened to them and restore balance to the world.
Perhaps you are a young adventurer excited to test yourself with a real adventure, or maybe you are just a humble farmer who would like to see the world restored. Whoever you are, the world needs your help!
The game will be text based, probably run in discord unless someone has a better idea. As far as scheduling goes, I am hoping that this will be a weekly game, possibly every other week depending on everyone's availability and how much time I need to prepare for a session. My schedule varies from week to week so I am not planning on having the game be on the same day every week, but I will try to work around everyone's schedules. It will probably be an evening game though. I am in Central Time (CT).
As far as my DMing style goes I don’t know for sure because I have never been the dungeon master before, but I will say that I will generally try to abide by the rule of cool. If you want to try something (as long as it is within reason) I will generally try to come up with a check for you to do in order to accomplish your goal, whether there is a specific rule allowing it or not. I also am planning on focusing on collaborative storytelling, rather than getting super bogged down in the rules. There will definitely be times where I take some time to look up official rules, but for smaller things I might just make a ruling that makes sense to me in the moment in order to keep the game moving.
As far as character creation goes, I am not going to ban any official races or classes. I haven’t home brewed much before so I probably won’t allow any unless you have it well thought out, and even then I might not allow it, but anything official is cool with me. I am planning on having you roll your stats as I personally think that is more fun. I will talk with everyone more in depth about character creation on discord during a kind of individual session zero, instead of having a session zero for everyone at the same time.
If interested, please feel free to send me a friend request on discord. My username is korinth17. I am hoping to go over things with each person individually so as to keep the characters a surprise for everyone else, as well as allow for any private discussions about content boundaries.
Thanks for reading and considering!
Note (If you do send a friend request on discord, please also post here so that I can confirm I received the request and know who is interested in the campaign)
Hello I am new to D&D and very excited to start. I sent you a friend request on discord. my discord username is UnluckyNights. I hope that you'll have me.
Hey everyone! As of right now I have about as many players as I would want for my campaign. We haven’t started yet so there is still time for someone to back out and a spot to open up, if that happens I will post an update here. Thank you all for showing interest, and I am looking forward to the campaign!
Hello! My names Void and/or Archer and I was wandering if I could join the campaign? I'm a newer player and only ever played in a homebrew campaign that's still ongoing. I'm fine with everything you stated, and I'm actually really intrigued on how this will go. My discord user is v01ds_r3turn. Anyways i do hope you have a wonderful day/Night !! (Also will like to note i am a teenager aswell !.)
