Hi, I've been a DM for most of my DND career, and I haven't even run a game in a while. I don't have a group anymore, and I don't really have a predictable schedule. I just want to be a player for the first time in a while, and I am hoping to find someone willing to run a one shot. I'm not entirely familiar with all of the updates to 5e, but I like what I've used so far. I would prefer just a traditional fantasy and not anything like cyberpunk or scifi or something like that, but I am cool with anything within the fantasy realm. High rp and low action or vice versa, political game, heist, dungeon crawl, whatever it is, I'm down. I just want to play, and I don't know that I'll have the time to play more than the once. Friday evening this week on 10/10 if possible? Thanks for anyone willing to satisfy my minor itch!
Hello. I read your post and wanted to respond. I have a long-term campaign that I am running and would like to offload an NPC that I have been running for the group. We play every Friday night, and the game is set in the World of Greyhawk.
1) What time zone are you in? I am in the US CST. 2) Would you be interested in getting your feet wet by running an NPC that I created to help my long-term group? It would be a probationary, probably temporary/ possibly permanent membership. The character is a 6th Level Variant Human Druid.
Sounds like you’d fit right in with our 18+ LGBTQAI+ friendly community! We’re all about giving players a chance to jump in, even if it’s just for a one-shot, and we run a Westmarch-style setup where each DM runs their own world — plenty of options for traditional fantasy campaigns.
We use the 2014 5e ruleset with all official content, so you won’t have to worry about missing updates, and there’s flexibility for high RP, dungeon crawls, political intrigue, or heists — whatever style fits the table. You can also try out Play-by-Post/TRP sessions, which might help with unpredictable schedules like yours. Campaign links on D&D Beyond are shared too, so it’s easy to follow along.
Since we’re a global community with sessions running every day, there’s a good chance a Friday evening 10/10 game could work. You can check us out here and see if there’s a DM running a one-shot that fits your itch.
If you can find a few more folks - I can put something together for you that would run 3-4 hours starting at 8:30 pm. EST. I'd prefer experienced players so I can have you all start at lvl 4 or 5.
Hi, Cheez. I'm in US EST. I am very interested in trying to take on the NPC you run! I always loved helping out a fellow DM with trying to run their game. If a little weight lifted off your shoulders is what you need, we can chat about what the character is like, and maybe I can fill in this Friday. Just the once maybe. I will have to confirm the time for tomorrow if that is likely, but I am definitely interested.
Hi, Shokar. I think this sounds like a good idea. I'd like to take a look. I have enjoyed a little bit of play by post in the past, but I get so far behind when it gets active, and it doesn't hit the itch quite right when we're not acting it out, but instead typing. Either way, I'll take a look! Thanks!
Hey, sorry for the late response. Clearly we missed the window, but if you have any ideas, let me know. I'd be happy to talk about a potential one-shot with you.
