Nice to meet you. I'm one of the many Dungeon Masters that are around on the D&D Beyond boards. Unfortunately my games are a little full up around the place, but there are ways you can try and drop into games.
If you narrow search by "Recruiting", you can see where Dungeon Masters are looking for players for the PbP groups. There is also the Looking for Group boards if you are wanting to find a group that may not be necessarily play-by-post.
Hope that helps, and maybe see you on the boards in the future.
i too am looking for a PbP game to join, it seems like there are more players than dms on these forums, cause every time i see a dm post a recruiting thread, there are 5 people already asking to join before i can even type something.

list of my games/characters in the spoiler
DMing "Gallia Campaign 1".
Looking for a new game, if you need a player private message me.
If you can't find a campaign to join into, there are also public threads that you can join. They are usually less about the major stories and linear plot and more for people to roleplay together in. For example, I run The Quest In The Rest, which is just a place for people to bring their characters on a hiatus from their campaign for a bit of a chat with other characters. You're welcome to join in there if you want while you are looking for a campaign.
Depending on how the next couple of weeks go and if I'm able to keep up with my current workload (in running games, playing, and IRL), then I might start up another campaign.
There tend to be more players than DMs because the DM side requires more planning, organisation and time to get sorted etc. I pretty much started DMing from the start and have only ever been a player once so far. I would suggest actually giving DMing a go, maybe something little where you get a group of newbies together, have a base of opperations (AKA the Tavern) and then have "contracts" to go out a kill monsters to start with, then recue someone, maybe go out and protect something. Each of you take a turn with being the DM and the others as players.
This way you each get a turn being in both shoes, you have some little stories and can work on your RP and story telling, build some memorable moments up. you can even do it round robin style some each week or so it changes to the next person and they add their bit to a story.
Thanks again pokepaladdy and thank you Malal, both things to take into consideration. EmperorKarino if it's something you'd be interested in I would consider at least trying to DM something. Let me know what you think
I’ll help out 🤔 as this would actually be entertaining. If you look at the monster manual look for a low cr rating monster, I’d possibly go with an animal or maybe even a few for you to hunt. Roll up your characters as well
Likewise, if you want any help with anything, just send me a PM. I'm around most days on here, so should be able to get back to you not long afterwards ;-)
i am planning on dm-ing but i want to dm my own homebrew world, and im in the process of building that world. so i probably will dm down the line, but for now i want to play some PBP games.

You can subscribe to the main PbP boards, that way you can get notifications when a new thread pops up on here as well. Though given the fact that there are so many players, many DMs seem to have a recruitment period now allowing a week or so to allow many to apply, then they can pick their players.

This post is currently looking for a player to join. You can always attempt to jump in before the DM decides on a player: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/play-by-post/24813-looking-for-a-player
