Experience: 3ish years as a player, 2 years as a DM (I haven’t really been a player since around when I started DMing as my other group is on a hiatus)
Timezone: I am PST, but all timezones are welcome to apply!
Schedule:Weekly Friday 5PM PST/8PM EST for 4 hours (Please only apply if you’re able to commit to this!)
Roles sought: 3 Players
Game style: Long term (permanent group), weekly, casual, very silly and lighthearted, roleplay preferred over combat (but we still do a fair amount of combat)
New players are welcome! No preference for either new or experienced players as long as you can be flexible and new players ask for help when needed!
About the Group & Campaign:
The campaign is Strixhaven (magic college for those that don’t know, also not as similar to a certain wizard school franchise as you might think). We’ve technically already started it, so they’re level 2, but we’ve only done about 5 sessions, so there’s a very high chance we may just start over (although it hasn’t even been discussed yet. Waiting to have a full group to do that first). I plan on running it mostly as written in the book with one shots and other things added in, as well as focusing on player backstories/story arcs if they want that. The way the campaign is written is slightly sandbox-y, in the sense it gives you a few things that happen throughout each school year, so I would love if the players can come up with some stuff they want to do at times. Also just to note in case this is a dealbreaker, as written, Strixhaven is extremely combat light. There will be more combat in it just because of other one shots and such that will be added, but the stuff straight out of the module is mostly not combat.
We have an extremely lighthearted and humorous/silly dynamic which I know is not for everyone. A lot of Nicolas Cage jokes, chaos, and just dumb jokes in general. I do frequently have Nicolas Cage as an NPC (and/or someone else silly like Criss Angel or Owen Wilson…wOw). I honestly don’t think there’s a way for me to over-emphasize the chaos and silliness that is this group, so please don’t apply if you hate that idea as this won’t be the group for you.
About the DM: My name is Lexi (she/her), I’m a DM who prefers roleplay and silly moments over a ton of combat (but I do still have combat in my games). I am in my mid-30s, live in the US Pacific time zone, and have been DMing for just over 2 years. I started playing in 2021 but haven’t been a player in a while. I really enjoy Dimension 20 (especially Fantasy High and even more so the sillier moments such as ‘hilda hilda’ and the vultures), NADDPOD and the Balance campaign of The Adventure Zone, so that’s kind of the vibe I try to go for with my games.
About the Other Players: My current players are in the age range of 20-30 in different time zones (one of them is Australian), and have a variety of experience. Both of my current players either also DM sometimes or have DMed in the past. 5 players is the ideal amount for me, but I would be willing to run for 6 only under very few and very specific circumstances.
What to Expect:
-You would be joining an existing group, so I have an extensive application, interview and trial process to make sure the vibe/group dynamics are there and that you’re a good fit for the group. Since we are an existing group and it’s not just me looking for all new players, I am unable to “start 30 minutes later” or anything. Please do not ask.
-A laid-back, humorous atmosphere with a lot of laughing, inside jokes and weirdness
-Nicolas Cage (and my near perfect impression of him 😜)
What We’re Looking For:
-3 more players
-Chaos and shenanigan loving players that like actively roleplaying (talking to each other & npcs in character (character voice optional); more than just occasionally asking an npc a question and then otherwise just laughing at funny things other people do)
-Committed and communicative players (ie. Plan on playing weekly unless something unavoidable comes up; don’t cancel if “something more interesting” comes up; unless it’s an emergency or something last minute, try to give preferably about a week’s notice when possible, but a minimum of 3-4 days; don’t apply if something might come up or if you have personal issues going on that would cause you to miss frequently or quit)
-Respectful, collaborative players who can match an established group dynamic
-Lovers of an extremely silly vibe (we can be kind of ‘stupid silly’ sometimes; if occasional “deez nuts” or your mom jokes would bother you, this is not the group for you)
-People who actually want to be here! If you’re not interested during any part of the process, please let me know so we don’t waste each other’s time!
-People who are flexible with character creation and don’t get too stuck on something (without at least asking if that kind of thing is okay with me first)
Other Things to Know:
-I use music
-If you get an interview and I don’t continue with you, please remember that I can’t take everyone. I will let you know if we aren’t continuing with you in that case though!
-Please just be honest in your application and interview answers. If you lie or tell me what you think I want to hear in order to get into the group, I will find out about it sooner or later.
-I’ve seen people ask on my application before to be notified if they aren’t chosen for an interview. Unfortunately based on how many applicants I tend to get, I can’t do that. If you haven’t received a friend request on discord from me within a a few days of this being posted, (I typically send them out about a day or two (or so) after posting, but not always) it’s probably safe to assume I won’t be interviewing you (but you may want to check your messages just in case I wasn’t able to add you for any reason, and make sure you check discord in case you didn’t get notified. It definitely won’t take me a week from this specific post to send out friend requests). If you get an interview, I will always let you know if you were not selected (but usually after all of my interviews are done).
-If you come off as uninterested to me, you will not get in. I completely understand being nervous and shy (I have social anxiety so I get it, DMing and doing a ton of interviews has definitely helped lol) but if you come off as so stiff and flat to us that it feels like you would rather be anywhere else, you won’t make it past the interview. Also if you can’t realistically feel more comfortable within a handful of sessions, you may not want to apply.
Info For Couples That Want to Apply:
-Please only apply if you are okay with the possibility of me interviewing/trialing/taking only one of you! If you only come as a pair, no matter what, please do not apply.
-Please apply separately (and make sure you let me know who your partner is just so I’m aware)
-I’m generally not a fan of playing in groups with couples based on past experiences, but that doesn’t automatically rule it out (just please be aware of that)
-Please don’t reject my discord friend request, I expect to start sending them out pretty soon, I usually don’t close the post until after I have completed all of the interviews, not always though. It depends on how many applications I get and people I am interested in interviewing. (My username on discord is the same as it is on here and my discord picture is unsurprisingly Nic Cage if that helps)
If you have any questions (before or after you submit the application) please feel free to message me on here at any time
