Hello, I'm Night, and I'm looking for a group to play with. I'm a D&D newbie, but I've read the 5e player's guide and such, and I've participated in other games with roleplay elements before. I'm 45, I live in the Eastern time zone of the US, and I'm looking particularly for games during the day, as I have a commitment most days from 8:30 pm onward. I do have Weds. nights free.
I prefer roleplay to combat, but am not opposed to a good mix of the two. I have a few characters that I've started, but am open to developing a new character or modifying one of my existing ones. My current characters are Enmeline, a human druid (CG) from outside a small town, who has left her mentor to seek out new knowledge and experiences, and Essalia, a half-elf monk who has had to flee her Way of Shadows Monastery because she learned too much sensitive information, and now she has a price on her head from the noble family she angered. I'm leaning towards playing Essalia, as she has more of a backstory in place.
I have a roll20 account, and I am on Discord as well, rugrat0ne#4652. I'm equally open to building a new group or joining an established group that's willing to include a lvl 1 character in their mix. I do not have the skills to DM, obviously, so we would need someone for that.
Hello Night. I am somewhat of a D&D newbie myself. I grew up in the 80s playing D&D versions 1 and 2 with my cousin and friends and have been looking to get back into the game with version 5e. I have purchased and read through most of the Players Handbook. My cousin has expressed interest as well. We are both in your age group (mid to late 40s) and in the same geographic area (I live near Chicago and he lives in Tampa - so Central and Eastern time zones)
We have both created a few 1st level characters and are looking for other people just starting out to from a group. We are also willing to start new characters for a campaign if that is what a DM would prefer to do. I am on Discord (ElderCharlatan#3071) as well. If interested in joining forces let me know. My cousin and I have had trouble in finding a compatible group since joining d&D beyond a few weeks ago.
Great! Added you in Discord. My cousin is in the process of moving from Tampa to another city in Central Florida. He is currently without internet but should be up and running by Friday. In the meantime I am trying to find a good DM that is interested in getting some beginners into a campaign. Feel free to let me know if you have any ideas.
I'm in my late 40s too, in Michigan, and would love to play some games with a new character. This isn't what you were asking for in this thread but I wanted to throw it out there in case you need another player later.
Hi there! Same age group. Here is my discord DumDum#9518. Ping me so we can see if we can set up a group. I am into a game that is player-character story driven as opposed to just mechanical combat. Good mix is key for me.
Great, another player is good. I've also found a husband and wife pair that want to play. Terwilligher, what kind of game are you looking for, and what's your experience level (the rest of us are basically newbies)
Hammersole, you slipped in there while I was writing my post! Also good to see you. Sounds like you're into my kind of game. What times are you available?
I've played three sessions of a weekly discord campaign that uses dungeonmastersvault, and a few one shots using discord / roll20 / dndbeyond.
Played in the 80s but then had a thirty year gap.
I prefer a combat / roleplay mix, maybe more on the combat side sometimes. I like to play true neutral characters and push forward thinking that my party is my family and if nobody messes with us we won't mess with them (this mindset almost never works for long)
Have been playing mostly humanoid non-casters but can play anything if we're starting up new.
Set up a group chat for all of us on Discord. NovaDuHeth, still haven't heard from you over there, just want to make sure we're still all on the same page.
Well, if you don't mind mixing in with a bunch of complete newbies, you're welcome to see if you mesh with us. I'll link you to the group discussion and the scheduler on Discord.
Hello NightflyerOne and everyone else. Yes I am definitely still interested in getting together with a group of beginners to 5e. Looks like there are quite a few more "mature" people interested as well which is great to see. My cousin and I have a very similar background to Terwilligher - were heavily involved with D&D in the 80s but took a 30 some year break but excited to dive back in.
Really wish I could. I cant commit to anything before 7pm (Central time) Mon - Friday as that is after my 2 daughters go to bed for the day. We also tend to eat dinner around 6pm most evenings. If things change and you and/or the group decide to start around 7pm Central or after then please let me know. Thanks.

Could be a good idea! I've sent you a message on Discord.

Day times mostly; I am PDT.

Sent you a friend request on Discord, I'm rugrat0ne.
It showed up and disappeared..
Take 2, then...

Oh I found your original post! I was trying to find the one I replied to earlier...
I forgot to mention my discord is Jarrish#4566.

The time slot that's working for most of us is 5pm Eastern/2pm Pacific on Weds. for about 3 hours. Can you do that?
