Currently we have six with a wait list of three but still waiting to hear back from two of the original six. Session 0 is this coming Saturday, June 22nd with session 1 a week or two after. If you're interested, know that you will go on a waitlist for right now but there is a lot of time between now and session 0 (and 1) where folks can drop. Please read everything below and if you're still interested, reply to the thread or PM me. I've already set a DnD Beyond campaign and we will try to do this through Discord as plan A. Thank you for your interest.
Game: D&D 5e Group preferred: Online (Discord/Google Hangouts/other chat options) Experience: Newer to 5E but gaming for ~10 years (3.5/Pathfinder/4E). 1st attempt at DMing a campaign in 5E. With regards to the players, wouldn't mind a few newer players either to 5E or online so we can work through the kinks together. Location/Timezone: EST Availability: Prefer weekends 9:30PM+ but could make weekdays work (same time band of later in the evening) Preferred role: DM (but will play if someone else has a burning desire to DM) Game style: Casual looking for balance between RP/exploration/combat. If a session slants towards one or the other that's okay.
Thinking of running a campaign in the Forgotten Realms setting starting with Lost Mines (haven't decided weekly, biweekly, other yet). Here's how this would work.
1. Once the initial group forms, we agree on a date/time and have session 0 over Discord (or other chat).
2. Session 0 will discuss cadence, play styles, expectations, etc. Here's the important part: combat that we can't do with theater of the mind would be a crude setup where I have my webcam pointed to a battle map on a table. This is the part I have to work out the practicality of and see how well it works. I've used FG but it's been too long (plus don't feel like dropping down for a license right now) and while I've played around with Roll20, don't know enough to run it competently. We would roll up (or you bring) 1st level PCs and we try a sample combat to see how well it works to close the session.
3. Depending on how session 0 goes, we either jump straight into the campaign or maybe do a one shot over the span of a few sessions where I further work out my setup while also taking a harder look at Roll20.
4. After Lost Mines (or the one shot), we take a check point to see if it's worth continuing (assuming we still have players lol).
So the nut of it is that I'm willing to DM (would be ok at not, not Matt Mercer but not a complete newb) but need to work out how I would do it online without a VTT (or going there later). If the time, style, and that learning curve are okay with you, go ahead and reply to this thread or PM me and we'll go from there.
Looking to have the first session next weekend (June 21st, 22nd, or 23rd).
I would definitely be interested in joining your group! I have pretty much exclusively played 5E, so I have experience there. Situated in EST here, so can definitely work with your time - I haven't used Discord before, so might need some help with that, but otherwise this looks great.
