Sorry for the late notice, but one of my players for this game suggested I post here so I am giving it a try, I think this would also be my first Forum post in general (not comment).
I have recently set out into the world of Professional DMing after a half dozen years of DM practice with friends and folks and for my first campaign, I am running Mines of Phandelver via Startplaying Games at $15 dollars a session. The Session 0 will start at 4pm Pacific Time, but that is still lots of time to get setup for this Session 0! I host the game through a low-key community Discord by making private channels and tags, and make use of 2 Webcams, Minis, and Whiteboards to facilitate combat and some exploration parts.
The Community is open to all regardless, and the game is sure to be a fun one for those both new and old to the game. If folks like my services enough through these few sessions then we can discover if a longer campaign might be worth looking into as well! If the 4pm Pacific start time doesn't work for you, then reach out and lets see if we can't find other adventurers for a different group, some free one-shots in the server, or even other folks to inspire to start or play a game.
I'm the player who has joined this game. Techno is enthusiastic, helpful with character creation, and has set up lots of tools for playing on Discord. Check out the details (including live camera views of the battle map and miniatures!) and Sign up for Lost Mine of Phandelver at startplaying.games.
I appreciate those thoughts! I try my best! Learning takes curiosity, but teaching takes passion, luckily I have both in spades!
I have also been honing my craft of writing for about twice as long as I have been running games, but playing DnD helped me to connect to my characters more and really let things take off with the scattered ideas I had before. The "game" is just that, a living story where we shape a reality together, and it's beautiful. It's artful and dynamic and holds potential as entertainment as much as catharsis or even as training for powerful teams (in some corporate environments) - the possibilities are are many!
The characters and experiences with other people is really where it's at. In the end we all do it together; whether that be the experience at the table (or online) or how we all intermingle as people.
Philosophy aside, I do hope you check us out and would love to have you in community or in game. All the best!
Had this in my OP, but this is a $10 Credit to Start Playing's website. It doesn't have to be used for this session or game, but can be if $5 sounds better to see if the group that forms is for you for this shorter adventure.
