Greetings! I'm RPG_Steve and I've been running games of D&D with a group on Discord for a few years now. We have enjoyed many fun campaigns, but recently several players have had to leave the group due to changes in their schedule; life always gets in the way of a good game of D&D! Now I've come to the forums to seek out players to join our group to play on Discord Saturdays from 8 to 11PM.

We are starting a new campaign in a homebrew setting that is very open-ended to allow players to contribute to worldbuilding by bringing characters that can come from a wide variety of fantasy settings. Whoever you want to bring, wherever they are from, whatever their goals are, I want to work it into the campaign. The idea is, the world our campaign takes place in is so vast that any fantasy concept can exist. For example, maybe there is a kingdom of wizards who used magic to create a city that is almost futuristic in one corner of the world, but far off in another place people have only heard of magic in legends. Your input will allow us to build a world as we play. As DM I will reserve the right to ultimately have creative control over the campaign setting, but I want to run a campaign that is very player-driven.

We play the games on Discord over voice chat. We use D&D Beyond for character sheets and dice rolls. I don't use a VTT, mostly theory of the mind, with the occasional dungeon layout/map sent as an image over discord. Over the years I've built up a good amount of digital content on Beyond, including the new Players Handbook and DMG. Character build rules for this campaign are: Start at level 3, use any published content, and use point buy or standard array for ability score. Be able to have your character answer the questions: Where are you from? Why are you adventuring so far from home?

We play pretty casually. I try to hit all 3 pillars of gameplay: combat, exploration, roleplay, but my campaigns tend to focus on combat and dungeon exploration.  I don't mind power characters. I tend to balance things out with homebrew monsters and giving out magic items to underpowered characters. I like to be flexible as a DM to cater to the party's needs and wants; i.e. nobody wants to be a healer? Then you'll have plenty of access to potions, no problem! Ultimately our games are about having fun playing D&D together. 

Typically we play two campaigns, with two DMs, and alternate campaigns every week. Currently I am the only DM, and we are playing every other Saturday, but one player has expressed interest in trying out some DMing, and if anyone out there is interested as joining as a player and a DM, there could be opportunities to DM with this group. 

So if all that sounds good to you send me a message on Discord: @RPG_STEVE#9055 we can chat and see if you are a good fit. You can send me your answers to these 3 questions:

1. What are you looking for in a D&D Campaign?

2. What is your experience level with D&D?

3. How will you be able to meet consistently Saturday nights from 8 to 11PM Central Standard Time?

I look forward to hearing from you! I'll be able to answer any of your questions when we chat. Thanks!

I would be interested in joining your group. I sent you a friend request on discord to talk about joining my discord smokedturnip.

1. What are you looking for in a D&D Campaign?

Im looking for a long running sandbox world where player actions matter. I’d like for character backstories to be apart of the world such that they become apart of the campaign. An equal amount of RP and combat, dependent on party actions would be nice but I have no issue leaning towards a little combat heavy. I’d like to be our characters and have their personalities influence their decisions and actions. I have been working on a character for sometime that would fit great in a custom world as you described.

2. What is your experience level with D&D?

New to dnd, I’ve have been watching Critical Role for over a year now and have been wanting to join a campaign for some time. I have a decent grasp of most things. I love the idea of voice acting but since this will be my first campaign it might not stick well, but I’m willing to give anything a shot.

3. How will you be able to meet consistently Saturday nights from 8 to 11PM Central Standard Time?

I have no plans on Saturday’s mostly spend time watching football, playing games, or working on my car. I’m in EST but those times work perfectly (I’m a bit of a night owl).
