D&D Beyond
Game: D&D 5e
Group preferred: Online / Face-to-face / either
Experience: A few years, but way back in the 2nd edition days. No experience with 5th edition beyond reading the books. No experience with virtual tabletops, but I want to learn.
Location/Timezone: US EST.
Availability: Available weekdays after 7pm until about 11pm. Available Saturday from 8am until midnight+. Available most Sundays 8am until 11pm, but first Sunday of the month not until 2pm.
Preferred role: Player. I would like to learn how to DM and think I'd probably be good at it, but I need to be a lot more comfortable after such a long break and learn VTTs first.
Game style: Something regular, ideally weekly. I would like to experience some significant combat and maybe exploration using a VTT. But, of course, I do also like the roleplay elements and have time to develop my character and the collaborative story we're creating. I don't mind mature themes and tend to prefer more serious over silly, but I like a little humor too.
Other Info: Obviously having played 2nd edition, I'm a bit older. I don't mind playing with a younger player or maybe two, but I don't really want to be the only ancient one in a group. My times are a little flexible both ways, but if we're playing weeknights I do have to be well rested for the work I do. I also have a family and there will probably be times (not too often) that I cannot make a weekly campaign, but I am very good at keeping my commitments (in general) and I am good at communicating when I cannot. I'm open to playing just about any race/class, and I have more character ideas than I know what to do with. For now, I would strongly prefer to be playing in the Forgotten Realms setting, as the familiarity will aid me in reacclimating to the game.
Randomly I know one of the guys who works at Myrtle Beach Games and Comics and he says they have games evey night and that Wednesday is their big D&D night. I hope that helps in finding a game locally.
Thanks! I'll definitely check them out. I've been there before, but not specifically for D&D.
Cool.
If you go. Ask for Chewie and tell him Poet sent you.
I'll do that and post results LOL.
😂 can't wait.
I intend to start a weekly online 5th ed campaign in the next month or so, although it is a homebrew setting that has some Forgotten Realms elements. My campaigns have a little of everything--RP, combat, exploration, puzzles, riddles, etc. I especially like to world build and create story-driven campaigns where the characters' backstories are integrated into the narrative. I would describe my campaigns as high fantasy, somewhat dark. I play fast and loose with the rules, the story is always more important to me. I also started playing during 2nd ed and prefer playing with older players. I have DMed mainly in 3rd and 3.5. I'm currently reading up on 5th and learning Roll20. I am on CST.
I might be interested in joining. I appreciate incorporating character backstories into the overall campaign. Right now I'm talking to a few different groups about joining, and going to go visit the place JediPoet suggested and ask for Chewie (with as straight of a face as I can muster), so depending on how those things play out, I may or may not be able to join another group. I'm interested though :)
Cool, I'll bookmark this thread and get in touch when I'm ready to move on the campaign.
