Hi I'm looking for a new group to play 5e with over Discord voice with/without Roll20 or some other battlemap site, or a play-by-post over Discord if everyone is a decently skilled writer, any day past 7PM CST except Mondays. I'm usually the DM so I love to create a lot of homebrew for my characters with most games I'm in (subclasses/items/spells/races) so my ideal is a rules-light/rule of cool type game (but not low-effort) with lots of rp/exploration and a decent amount of combat; and I'd like a game where the DM gives the players freedom to explore characters' personal motivations, instead of the usual assumption of "you're all good aligned heroes so follow this quest and save the world because... thats the story"; and I would kill for a DM who goes above and beyond to collaboratively integrate backstories into the game or to plan out character arcs. I'm a decent writer/artist so I always appreciate some leeway when it comes to letting me do my thing creatively, since I'm mostly a forever-DM, I'm one of those players who kind of also DMs/is very good at helping the DM; I might insert an action or setting description by force of habit here and there if I don't hear one, or find art or music for the scene, or draw simple maps or effects on the R20.
I prefer module campaigns (would kill for a CoS game specifically) only because sometimes homebrew worlds are low-effort on the DM's part, but if you're an experienced writer who's homebrew world/story is awesome and can integrate my characters as I've written them, then I prefer homebrew worlds ofc. I particularly love high-sci heady cosmic horror, well thought out mysteries, psychological stuff, planescape/spelljammer-esque settings, old school TSR and fantasy/sci-fi books and gaming references, and classic rompy pulp action.
My Discord ID is Zionswasd#8143, message me if ya nasty.
