We are full up. Sorry I didn't reply to everyone, there were a lot more applications than I expected.
DO NOT REPLY ON THIS THREAD AND ASK TO JOIN! Applications made in the thread below will not be considered. For instructions on how to apply, see below. Please do use this thread to ask questions about the game if you have them. I will update this post once all invites to the initial session have gone out. So if there's not a big "Full" tag at the top, then applications are still being accepted and the group is not finalized. (There's no need to ask "are you full yet" in the thread).
Hello all. I'm Mike (he/him) a longtime RPG player/DM in my late 30s, residing in California, and I'm looking to create an entirely new online roleplaying group. I have DMed many in-person campaigns with earlier versions of D&D and other roleplaying systems, however this will be my first foray into DMing an entirely online game and to DMing 5th edition.
About the game
Player Age Requirement: 18+ Game Location: Online - Discord + D&D Beyond (I can invite and share source material) + TBD for dice and maps (Whatever TBD is, it will be free to players) Style of Game: Narrative - with a mostly even mix of RP, dungeon delving/world exploration, and combat. Combat will typically be more narrative and less tactical, and will usually not use a battlemap/grid. We may use a battlemap solution like Roll20 for major set piece encounters. Day and Time of Game: Weekly on Thursday evenings 7:30 PM Pacific Time (USA) - 11:30 PM Pacific Time (USA). Hard stop at midnight Game Setting: Eberron (Beginning in Aundair with travels throughout Khorvaire) Supported Material: All official generic-setting D&D and Eberron material is allowed by default. Material from other official fantasy settings (MtG, Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, etc.) allowed with prior DM approval. No Rick and Morty or Spelljammer content please. Starting Level: Characters will start at second level. Players will be asked to provide a short (longer if you prefer) written backstory. Number of Players: I will likely accept 6 players for the game, and we will play each week that 4 or more are able to attend. Player Experience: An ideal player for the campaign has at least some RP experience, but experience with 5e/D&D is not required. Depending on the applicant pool, I may accept one or two brand new players into the campaign. Experienced players bringing a new-to-roleplaying friend with them is preferable to new-to-roleplaying players just joining solo.
Any campaign that I run is racially inclusive as well as LGBTQ+ and female friendly. Player or Player-Character behavior that I, or any other member of the group, perceives as discriminatory will not be tolerated.
How to apply to join
Please fill out this google form (https://forms.gle/G5FY7P67hRKLFXrm8) and ensure you keep an eye on your Discord (the form asks for your discord handle). If you want to join with a friend or friends, please fill out the form ONLY ONCE for the entire group. If you/your group fits with what I am looking for, I will contact you (via Discord) within 2 days of you submitting the form, to schedule a 15-30 minute conversation between you (and your friends) and I. We'll talk about your experience, what style of play you like, and what are the boundaries of the RP content you are comfortable exploring. I will get back you quickly after that conversation with an invite to an initial session (aiming for 9/15) to meet the other players, create characters, and form of party, with the game set to begin the following week (9/22).
