Who am I? Hello all! I'm a 50-something DnD enthusiast that recently rediscovered DnD after a very long hiatus... "Very long" translates into "I haven't played since 2nd Edition and the THAC0 days". Needless to say, I had a lot to learn when it came to DnD 5e... so much was different from 2nd Edition (duh) and I'm not embarrassed to admit I had to rewrite my pocket rulebook and DM screen notes more than once.
What am I looking for? I'm looking for a group of 3 - 4 new players that can commit to a weekly game. And when I say "commit" I fully understand that life gets in the way sometimes and if we have to postpone/reschedule/cancel, it's honestly not the end of the world. Even if you're new-new-new, as in, "I haven't even created a character yet!", that's perfectly fine... our first few sessions can be dedicated to character creation.
What kind of players am I looking for? I'm looking for mature folks in a similar age bracket - let's call it 40s and up - from all walks of life. Anyone and everyone is welcome and I expect the same from my players. If there's even a hint of racism or bigotry, it means immediate and permanent expulsion from the group... do not pass the dungeon entrance, do not collect 200 gp.
What is my play style? While I do follow the core rules, my play style is extremely loose. I prefer picking locations/scenarios from books such as "Random Encounters" (for example) and writing an adventure around it. I do not enforce a lot of the rules and there are even some features I have yet to incorporate into my adventures (Feats is a good example), as my goal is for everyone to have a great time without being too rigid. I do my best to create a casual-yet-entertaining gaming session - for example mood music, LED candles, printouts of creatures/locations, etc. If you're a by-the-book, follow-every-rule, don't-deviate-from-the-campaign kind of player, this is not the group you're looking for. Absolutely no judgment if that's your playstyle... I'm just putting it up front that's not how I run things.
If you're interested, please either reply to this thread or shoot me a DM. I look forward to getting a group together!
First off, it’s always great to see another returning veteran from the thAC0 era—welcome back to the table! 🎲
Reading your post, I couldn’t help but feel like you’d fit right in with the community we’ve built over at Legends & Lore. We’re a group of mature adults—many of us in our 40s & 50s—who value connection, consistency, and the joy of storytelling just as much as the mechanics. Like you, most of us have careers, families, and full lives, so we prioritize people over perfection.
While we’re not a drop-in LFG group, we are a collaborative community that supports both players and DMs. If you’re open to getting to know us a bit, we’d love to explore whether this could be a place for you to launch your next game with a built-in group of like-minded folks.
No pressure at all, but if the idea of running a game in a community that shares your values sounds appealing, I’d be happy to chat.

Wishing you the best of luck pulling your group together either way—love your vibe and I think you’re gonna make some magic happen!
