Hello, I often go by PUN, I am 23 and have been playing Dungeons and Dragons for about half my life. I have been a Dungeon Master for just over 5 years. I started out in 3.5 and quickly moved to 5e where I picked up DMing for my small group of friends. It has been one of my biggest passions and greatest joys being able to make an amazing story with those sitting across the table or, in more recent times, screen.
My GMing style is a bit more laid back than most I have experienced in my day. I am hate the feeling of the DM being against or "beating" the players. My goal is to build a story with and around the player in my game. If you are not having fun then I am not having fun.
I love a good roleplay heavy session. I have a couple of voice that I can do but don't make fun of me for slipping in and out of them! I am a super laid back and a "will of the players" type GM. The "rule of cool" is something I live by I may allow something to happen just because I deem it cool. I sometimes twist or bend the rules to make a game more fun for both the players and myself. I mostly run a homebrew game but love running more sandbox modules such as Out of the Abyss.
About the Game.
The main game I run is the homebrew world of Statera. A land torn apart by the balance it seeks, literally. Humans have been purged off the face of the plane as recompense for the killing of the creation Goddess Io, ages ago. As such human will not be a selectable race.
All races and classes in official Wizards of the Coast published book are free game to use. I am even open to allowing UA/Homebrew as long as it has been submitted and approved by me before session 1 begins.
We will be using roll20 for maps and combats and discord for voice chat, dice rolling, and most other things.
Players will be starting at level 1 with an expectation of completing the campaign at level 20, after some time of course.
Rolling the characters stats will be allowed once in the discord sever for the game.
What to expect.
Payment for games is as follows: $15 for one session. $50 for four sessions. or $100 for ten sessions. (Payment will be required before the session begins or you will not be allowed to join)
Once a day and time has been selected we will spend the week before session 1, introducing ourselves, creating characters, and going over general lore in the discord. We will work together to build backstories that tie into the world. This allows for more immersion into the story. We will discuss what type of game we are all wanting to play, where and how we wish to start, and if any of our character have connected backstories. With this completed we can go into the first session with a running jump. I have slots open every day of the week except Friday to play from 6pm cst to 10pm cst. 10pm cst is not a hard stop just a general stopping point for the amount of work I prepare. I can adjust times if need playing games from as early as 8am cst. Please add your availability to the message.
Parting words
I understand that paying money to play this game can sometimes be off putting. But when you consider the man hours I put into creating an immersive campaign story for you to play, DnDbeyond content, as well as other purchases I make to run a great campaign, it is almost nothing to pay for the numerous hours of enjoyment that you will receive in return. It not only assures my level of commitment but the other players as well.
I do prefer my players to be 18+, this allows for more mature topics to be discussed, but other than that all are welcome to apply. I can work with any skill level from the just watched CritRole and want to play to the old timers playing since before I was born.
If you are at all interested in playing a game with me please respond to this post with the following: Name(nickname is fine): Age: Pronouns: Timezone: How long have you been playing DnD: Prefered style of game: Availablity(posted time slots preferred but can work around it): Discord tag: Anything I should know: Questions for me:
Name(nickname is fine): Soap Age: 33 Pronouns: She/Her Timezone: EST *(Home is EST but will be in GMT+3 for Oct and Nov) How long have you been playing DnD: I'm completely new but I've binged a lot of Critical Role and read PHB thoroughly so I'm somewhat familiar with the overall rules. Prefered style of game: I would like a good mix of RP and combat. Storytelling and character building is where I'm most invested in Availablity(posted time slots preferred but can work around it): 6pm-10pmworks! I wouldn't mind even later. But I'd prefer weekends at least for Oct/Nov so that I have no problem staying up or waking up early. Discord tag: soap#5460 Anything I should know: I have a bit of accent that I couldn't quite shake off. So for immersion sake (and I also think it'd be cool), I would like to play a character with Asian heritage so I can play it up. Questions for me: Don't really have anything else. Would love to hear more about Statera
Name(nickname is fine): Eddie Age: 34 Pronouns: He/Him Timezone: EST How long have you been playing DnD: Off and on since Highschool, but it has been mostly binging content on twitch as of recent years Prefered style of game: Combat and exploration Availablity(posted time slots preferred but can work around it): 6-10pm CST works for me, but generally evenings as a whole would be good. Discord tag: Edlost11#4363 Anything I should know: Questions for me: I dont have any questions at this time
Name(nickname is fine): Buzz Age: 43 Pronouns: He/Him Timezone: EST How long have you been playing DnD: Was playing consistently for about 2 years, then stopped for reasons but really want to get back into a game. Preferred style of game: Mix it up. I'd say 70/30 RP/Combat. Availablity (posted time slots preferred but can work around it): 6-10 CST/7-11 EST is totally doable. Discord tag: BuzzNJ#5627 Anything I should know: 1) Martin Brodeur was the greatest goaltender to play in the NHL. Ever. Hard stop. 2) Since you're half my age I'll probably call you whippersnapper for no particular reason. It's ok if you want to call me boomer in response. 3) I'd say I'm 99% inclined to pay for the 10 session set off the bat. Questions for me: 1) Who shot first? 2) What is the first of the two classic blunders? 3) Any timeframe on when this kicks off? 4) Can I bring my Dragonborn?
Name(nickname is fine): Hunter Age: 22 Pronouns: He/Him Timezone: EST How long have you been playing DnD: 6 years on and off Prefered style of game: Something with a defined direction but freedom in how we wish to approach it. I love combat, but won't seek it out unless the story demands it or throws it at us. Availablity(posted time slots preferred but can work around it): Most times except Sunday/Monday 6pm Discord tag: Ruin#4285 Anything I should know: To Buzz's questions, Han shot first don't @ me, and never get involved in a land war in Asia. Questions for me: Damn man, did the humans really have to get deep sixed? Also, do you offer a free session 0 and session 1 to get a feel of the group/dm like a lot of other paid games I've seen?
Ok to be honest I deep sixed the humans cause I find them boring to play and brings some distinction to the world. I have added you on discord message me and we can discuss the session 0 and 1 there. Looking forward to hearing from you.

I'm seeking a paid DM. I wish to know your current schedule, free spots, and I tend to fill my schedule with games 7 days a week. If you are willing to open a game in the afternoons of tuesdays or wednesday. But give me your entire schedule, please.
