Group type: Online with a dedicated Discord server and maps with AboveVTT
Experience: a few years (both online and in person)
Location/Timezone: Texas, CST (some players are in EST)
Schedule: We play every other Saturday, starting up again soon after holiday break
Roles sought:1-2 Players at 5th level in the classes of magic-user and/or rogue. We currently have: an elven Cleric, an elven Ranger, and a large centaur Barbarian. There is the possibility of a second centaur playing an Artificer, though that is not firm.
Game style: I'll be perfectly honest here and state that I am a relatively new Online DM. I have been a DM in the past, long time gone (back in the mid 1980s) and had never used a pre-written campaign before last summer, when we started Storm King's Thunder (SKT). So, sometimes I stumble, but have a good existing party which helps me and each other.
The other thing about my style that some might not like is I am not as descriptive of settings as some would expect of a DM. I'm more of "If it's on the map, that's the area of situation" and only give pertinent details to whatever might be happening next. Basically, I like to present players with a scenario and then they tell me what they see/sense.
SKT so far is a lot of hack and slash, but there has been some diplomacy involved. Our cleric has excelled at that skill and I'll probably add more situations in which the party can talk themselves out of hacking and slashing, and still get something good out of the endeavor.
Oh, I use Milestone for experience and leveling up because I like it better than trying to add up XP for each separate encounter. Less work for everyone.
---
I have no preference for either experienced or newer players. Just keep in mind that because we are getting deeper into the campaign that you will have to come in at 5th level, so I expect your character sheet to show that.
Game-time has been 2-2:30 pm CST on every other Saturday. We then play for about four hours with a short break halfway through. This may be flexible depending on the needs of the rest of the party. As DM, I am flexible to whatever the majority wants.
We will be using a server I have on Discord (chosen players will get the invites) and we use the maps for the game through AboveVTT. I have tried other VTTs and like this one best for ease of use and understanding. We use VC for play, and text where needed, such as private chats. I also have a VC channel for private chats with players.
It's a fun group, but still serious about playing. The remaining players have developed a good comradery and I expect any new players will meld in with them, depending on one's alignment. The group has only just arrived in Triboar and has not yet gone exploring of the town.
We need some kind of magic-user (sorcerer, warlock, wizard) and some kind of rogue. The latter isn't absolutely necessary, but I do feel a magic-user of some kind is. I will accept a player doing multi-class, so long as one of the two desired classes is part of their multi-class.
I will allow homebrew with the stipulation that I read it before you choose it and determine if I think it will work in the campaign or be overpowered. There is some good homebrew out there which can make a character that much more fun to play and for interactions with the others.
Consider this announcement and my choosing to be first come first served, though I will still be vetting potential players. Our hope is to start up again this coming Saturday, and then back to the regular schedule of every other Saturday after that.
I hope that isn't too long. Go ahead and ask me questions, and I'll fill in what I can for you.
