Being a Dungeon Master is hard. But I love it. That is why I thought it might be worth a shot to get a full table of Dungeon Masters (or aspiring Dungeon Masters) together and run a campaign as a group! I feel like with this system it would alleviate DM burnout, and help keep the motivation up.
Obviously the logistics of this would be a discussion we would need to have as a group so I won't put too much here about it. My general thoughts off the bat are that we could run it as a continuous campaign, where the DM changes every month or so. Their characters could be run as DM PCs or just simply be off doing other things during that time. We could also just run month long mini campaigns. That is something we'll need to decide as a group.
**Some important things to note if you are interested**:
- Date and Time are placeholders. We will need to discuss schedules as a group. My availability is weekdays after 6PM CST and Saturdays if needed, but I would prefer not to play on weekends.
- This group is only for people who are willing to run games. This idea doesn't work if everyone doesn't take their turn DMing. This would be a great place to start if you haven't felt comfortable enough running your own campaign before. You'd have a lot of support and experience to learn from and the pressure is off because its just temporary.
- All ideas are good ideas, there will be a lot of brainstorming, teamwork, and collaboration involved to pull this off.
- LGBTQ+ inclusive table, if you don't like that stop reading and leave.
- I would like to use both voice and video, as role-playing to a discord icon is not super engaging. So having a working mic and webcam will be needed.
**Info about me**:
I'm a 28 year old gay guy who has been DMing for about 5 years. I've used most platforms at least once (Roll20, Foundry, Talespire, Owlbear Rodeo, etc.) My favorite color is orange, if you made it this far leave *your* favorite color in the application. Classic DM trick. I'm a creative writer and huge nerd who loves world building, I have a tiny YouTube channel that I post to sometimes: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFNR4Jft3t-pTUk16eraUig. Working on building it up, but its a side thing for now.
My games tend to be high fantasy homebrewed worlds, but I'm open to collaboration and seeing where we land for this campaign. I look forward to hearing from you, if you are interested please fill out this form: https://forms.gle/5ERm92oPRqyVLnuR9
