You can read everything about the campaign, its settings, etc, below... And I can share a lot more lore with whoever gets to the Discord "face-to-face" interview :)
I will add that I'm looking for people with the ability to take charge and initiate role play and conversations - I want you to feel like you're in the world, and try your best to "live" in it :)
Last thing - I would prefer to find at least one more female player to balance the party out (as we're currently three males and one female). That said, non-binary or any other gender/pronounced identification is also great! (Sorry, I'm not fluent in all the terms, but I don't give a shit about definitions - I like people for their personality and actions; you decide what to call yourself, and I'll respect that and try my best to adhere to it ^_^)

Hey everyone!
This post will be long as I want to give you a lot of information, so bear with me :)

About me
About the campaign
About the world
Closing words
About me:
I'm an experienced DM (over 7 years), looking for a new group to DM for.
I want 4 players for the campaign. Don't need to be a veteran, but I prefer some experience at least.
The campaign is my homebrew world which I created for a fantasy book I've been working on for several years now.
I'm the head of a creative studio in a AAA-related gaming company.
I'm a fantasy lover, a medieval history buff, and a martial artist. So if it has capes - I'm IN!
I'm a father of 3, married, have a dog, and generally love dad jokes and word puns.
About the campaign:
We'll be using 5e with a lot of homebrew elements. All the races and lore are homebrew, but for ease of use - all of them are going to be based on edited versions of "normal" races (And all will be added to D&D beyond).
Start at level 3 - You're all roughly new adventurers.
This will be a balance between action, and role play.
You will have a lot of weight on the story and direction
Everything goes - as long as it's realistic within the logic and magic of the world. Just let me know what you want to try, and we'll see how to make it happen.
Death is final. Mostly. If your character dies - It'll be rare to bring them back. But you can always roll a new character.
I DM so you can enjoy it. I don't want to kill your characters. My goal is to give you a challenge, an interesting story, and a fun and immersive experience.
Weekly sessions, on Tuesdays/Saturdays (depending on the group's preference).
Sessions start at 22:00 +2 GMT (Though I'll be logged in from 21:30 for chatting, info dumping, etc...).
Discord Video Chat. I believe seeing our faces and expressions helps connect us so I want people who are not camera shy. No one cares how you look, what's your race or color or whatever - Be yourself (and your character) and that's great!
D&D Beyond + VTT for battles + Discord/Google Meet (whatever the group prefers)
YouTube/Podcat - I want to record our sessions and post them on a YT channel I'll create for it, and maybe later on stream them live as well... I'm not delusional in thinking we'll be big or famous - But who knows, maybe some people will find our game fun to watch and benefit from it. So you need to be ok with it.
English. I'm not a native speaker, and I don't do accents very well... But I do have great English. The sessions will be in English. You need to be able to speak it well. Accents are fine :)
No IRL politics or agendas, please
Age groups - around 30 or above please
About the world:
We'll be playing in a world called Alver, in the continent of Kronland.
This is a heavily Nordic-inspired world. Think of it as if the late Middle Ages/Renaissance era in Europe would have looked and felt if the Vikings had become the ruling influence instead of Christianity. So while there are different kingdoms, with different cultures, fashions, styles, etc... The Norse mythology logic is very much a part of the world.
The lore is inspired by Nordic mythology, but it is NOT Nordic mythology. It's a full-on pantheon and history I created. Some stuff will align and match, but many will not.
The continent is very large, and thus the distance between cities, villages, and civilizations is such that the world varies greatly between areas with rare magic and supernatural to cosmopolitan cities with mixed races, magic, and wonder.
The game is meant to be balanced between drama, grim, humor and epic adventure. It's not just grimdark, or silly. It'll be a mix of all.
You'll start small in scope - but the story is meant to go epic by the end.
There are 5 playable races (with some having sub-races) which I'll share the details of later, but these are the closest "D&D" races to them in racial traits:
Humans
Tabaxi
Dwarfs/Gnomes/Halfings
Goliath
Aasimar
Closing words:
That's it. If you read all the way here - My respect! I hope we can find a fun, friendly group to play, grow together, and have fun (and emotional support at times when needed lol). Feel free to ask me any questions you might have!
Its too bad the time zones are so drastically different, read through your post and I have to say one of the best ones I've seen. I wish you luck in finding a great party for this world you have built!
Hey Man! I love all the detail you put into this! It's so rare to find people dming for anywhere near my timezone haha! I'm so down to join! how would the sessions be run? through discord, roll 20 etc?
Hey mate I'm in timezone +2 GMT as well. I have played campaigns before and am happy to discuss playing with you. I don't know if you want me to contact you by email, but here is my discord: _cheekychops

Hey mate -
Generally discord/google meet with a VTT for battles

That said, non-binary or any other gender/pronounced identification is also great! (Sorry, I'm not fluent in all the terms, but I don't give a shit about definitions - I like people for their personality and actions; you decide what to call yourself, and I'll respect that and try my best to adhere to it ^_^)
We meet every Tuesday at 22:00 GMT +2 (I think that's GMT, give or take one hour if I'm mistaken). Sessions are two hours long, sometimes extra if we're midfight or something, and everyone is okay to go on.
The race is named Kettir - Think of a kind of tribal long-lived elves, without the posh and superiority complex and with some feline big cat attributes... More than that, I'll share if we go on to actually talk :)
*UPDATE*
*UPDATE*
We're opening up two new slots on the campaigns!

I would love to join! Please feel free to dm me on discord twiggybadger. I might have some difficulties doing saturday but it will depend on the time.
Greetings, very interesting campaign idea, i would be interested in joining. here is my discord tag: negastus_infernolich
Thanks everyone!
I'll try contacting you all later tonight so we can discuss, set up an actual "f2f" meet if all looks well :)
Definitly no one is late to the party - I've just started looking for players so nothing has been determined yet :)
Also - Feel free to DM me - it'll be easier for me to keep track lol
Hey mate -
Generally discord/google meet with a VTT for battles
I added my discord above - Feel free to talk to me there :)
Thanks to everyone showing interest!
The party has been filled!
I'll share the actual YouTube/Podcast links once we go live (which will take a bit as I want to build up a few sessions before going live) :)

What was the final day and time that the group meets now? Also, how long are the sessions? And, can you tell me more about your homebrew tabaxi race?
We meet every Tuesday at 22:00 GMT +2 (I think that's GMT, give or take one hour if I'm mistaken). Sessions are two hours long, sometimes extra if we're midfight or something, and everyone is okay to go on.
The race is named Kettir - Think of a kind of tribal long-lived elves, without the posh and superiority complex and with some feline big cat attributes... More than that, I'll share if we go on to actually talk :)
