Game: D&D 5e Group preferred: Online Experience: Veteran Location/Timezone: GMT+2 (Lithuania), but I'm fine with anything up to British (GMT) times, or even east coast, if for some reason you are doing games in mornings Availability: Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday evenings preferably. Sundays as a backup, but I am not available ALL Sundays Preferred role: Player Game style (TL;DR Version): A mix of roleplay and tactical play (but instead of taking the known power options, I tend to make a more weird concept as good as it can get), with a special note on leadership role (last paragraph)
Hello, I'm Lukas, 25 years old, and I am looking for a game, either new or in the middle of action. I have plenty of experience, both in 5e and other systems across years, starting with PbP games back when I was in school and had no capability for live games, to online games good 5 years ago (playing Dark Heresy and other FFG WH40K RPGs, however that ceased a long time ago and it was also done in my native language (Lithuanian)), to live sessions afterward. However, for the last two years, all I had to do was DMing, mostly 5e. So, especially with quarantine making me stuck in home, I'm looking to return to actually being a player for once, and only caring about a single character, their personality and voice instead of a myriad of them.
I could do any evening, preferably from 18:00 CET (soon to be CEST) or later, which is not Wednesday (I'm DMing then) or weekend. Technically I could do Sundays, but especially if quarantine falls and we continue playing, some of them might get interrupted by personal life, so that's more of a backup.
As for the style of the game, I am not looking for anything in particular. The more surprises, the better. However, if you are running either Curse of Strahd or Descent into Avernus, I will have to say no to them (as I am either running it right now (DiA) or thinking to do next (CoS)), unless either a) You don't mind if I take more passive role when it comes to deciding what the group does further, and focuses instead on supporting it, as I already know the story; or b) You stray away from written material by a lot.
As for my own playstyle, I tend to be somewhere in the flux too. I am what could be called "powergamer at a disadvantage". Whatever idea I come up for, it almost never is something (especially with how standardized 5e looks when you read up some people's experiences) generic and known to be powerful (say, warlock/paladin shenanigans and such), but I will tend to shape that idea into something that is as good as it can get. That doesn't mean that I forget roleplay, as I do care for it too. While I may not be a good artist (or be able to draw anything at all) nor voice actor (when DMing, most NPCs have only a selection of a few voices - which I instead vary through speech patterns and mild accenting), I try to make sure that my characters stay a true part to the world.
There is a special note on how I deal with leading. I have this love/hate relationship when it comes to taking up initiative and being the face of any group, both in game and real life. I tend to not seek it out, but subconsciously, I get myself wrapped into it and then have to work it out, and being a tad shy (especially outside of friends), this often is an interesting experience. If it comes to that, I tend to drop to what I'm referring as 'backup leader'. Real life example - in one of the summer camps we had the usual "we're splitting you into groups of 5, here's some tasks to see how much of a team you can make yourself of", and our group was unique in this matter. Instead of a usual sort where you either have active democracy or one authoritarian person, we naturally came into a sort of duality. One person was the leader, 'the face of the party', driving the ideas, whereas I gravitated towards making sure that those ideas were actually carried out and that nothing was lost in transition, often acting las and overseeing it. So I hope that's warning enough if my subconsciousness drives me in weird ways.

How do I join the campaign
Not to mention the fact that this was me looking for a group, not for players, this is also a year old post. How did you even find this?
