Experienced DM looking for players to run 5e SKT with

Hi! I'm JD, I've been playing D&D since 2017 and have spent most of that time as a DM. I recently moved and don't really have friends to play with here, so I'm looking for an online group to run the official 5e module Storm King's Thunder with, as I'm familiar with both the setting(Forgotten Realms) and the campaign itself and will be able to run it with ease.

I'm used to running games for newer players, so any level of experience is welcome. I can manage larger groups, but between 3-6 players would be ideal as this allows me to give each player due attention without feeling overwhelmed. Age also isn't a problem for me, and I'm used to younger players(13+) but ideally I would be able to play with people around my own age(18-25). I am available any night of the week from 5pm-10pm UTC(12pm-5pm EST for y'all westerners).

Storm King's Thunder, in my experience, has a pretty even split of combat and roleplay, however I am a huge fan of the roleplay side of the game so expect more focus on meaningful character relationships and NPC interaction than what would be normally expected from the module. I also like to run combat in more interesting ways, including environmental details that players will have to avoid or use to their advantage and encouraging interesting solutions. I will be using EXP-based levelling as the setting is quite open with lots of random encounters, but I award EXP for completing an encounter instead of defeating the creatures, so players can solve conflict diplomatically and will still get the EXP. Particularly creative solutions may result in extra EXP or inspiration. The campaign is designed to run from levels 1-11, but players may reach higher levels depending on where they go and the path they take.

If you are interested, please reply here(don't message me directly) with your name, approximate age, experience, timezone, and a short Lvl 1 character concept. The setting is Forgotten Realms, and material(races, classes, spells) from supplementary books such as Tasha's Cauldron of Everything will be allowed, although I would discourage particularly exotic races. Don't go into backstory in too much detail, I will discuss that with each player individually.

Thanks for reading!

Yo JD, im currently looking into playing another campaign, so i'd be happy to join

Name is Kenzie, discord is val_9153, and val is what i get referred to by friends. I am 20 with around 2 years of dnd experience and 2 completed campaigns. My time zone, is england GMT+1. 

The lv1 character i have in mind is a fairy artificer. The character concept is more built for level 3 as the subclass will be armorer, but i can work up to that. If fairy is too much of an exotic species i do have other character that can be discussed

My availability is limited to Monday, Wednesday, and the weekends, but 4/7 days is better than never :)

Hey JD!

My name is Monica and I’m still fairly new to D&D but have played before. I’ve been looking for a group/dm and this honestly sounds like what I’ve been looking for. I am in the rocky (MST) and this time would work perfect for me except on Wednesdays.

I created a character, Evelyn Rootwhisper, who is a wood elf Druid Warden turned spy.

I do want to mention that I am 35, so a little outside the age range you are wanting, but I still wanted to give it a try.

Hi there jd my name is bing, not real name but my nickname. I am experience in dnd for playing of 8+ years. I've mostly played in homebrewed settings or in the world of faerun. I have a few characters in mind one being a half orc ranger, and or a teifling fighter. As for aviability I share that viability as you except wednesday in particularly and weekends. As for my age I am 25 exactly my discord is zechandilier should be a picture fo a dog in a nice pair of sunglasses. Also central time zone for me 

Hello jd my name is Tihomir from Croatia, have 30+ years. Love to play with you. 2 years exp. Love any but love the most is ranger or wizard. I use CET; UTC+01:00

msg me on discord: Brx (brx#2012)

Hello, JD! Call me Anomaly for now; I can share my real name in the campaign if you choose me. I'm in the US Eastern Time Zone (currently GMT-4).

I've played 5e/5.5e for almost nine years, though my first TTRPG experience was Pathfinder 1E.

First, I will admit I'm quite a bit older than your range (I'm in my 40s -- don't feel bad, Monica! 😂), though I am used to playing with people younger than me. That said, you should know that I also love roleplay and love the idea of potential non-combat XP.

I have a number of character concepts that could work in the game and will be happy to discuss which fit (I've been wanting to play a Eldritch Knight Fighter for a while), but you should know I can cater to the party and am glad to play supporting roles -- I've come to be rather fond of clerics.

My Discord is the same as my name here.

Anything else, please feel free to ask. Thank you for considering me!

hello!

i'm a pretty new player to DND and would love to play a campaign with you and anyone else. for ypu can call me hamster or ham (childhood nickname)

 I am 12 yrs old . you can contact me over discord. my username is: hamster_bro (Hamster_bro#3481). 

i am in germany so playing wont be a problem after school on friday or on any of the days on the weekend. But the rest of my schedule is pretty full.

character concept:

my character is going to be an infernal tiefling fighter(knight). his name is kell.

Kell used to be a soldier general in an army and is a very hearty person. he can be pretty stubborn at times but is is lawful good.

this is my first time aplying for an online DND campaign.  :D

Hello! My name is Noah and I am in my early 20s. I have been playing and running DnD 5e for about 2 years now with one short-term campaign completed and one that I am currently running (Aetherial Expanse it's a lot of fun). I am in the EST time zone.

The character concept I have is a Drow Tempest Cleric who behaves like a knight or a knight-in-training.

I'd prefer to play on Fridays or Wednesdays but I'm willing to work with any time that isn't on the weekends.

Hi there!

My name is Hana, I'm from Ireland [UTC +1] and I've been playing DnD since 2019 or so. I am looking for a fun module to play with my partner Tony, we are early 30's and prefer heavy roleplay games [Tony is usually the DM for games we are in so I'm trying to find something new for us both]

I can't give character concepts here as we have a number of potential characters [with art by myself] ready to play. We did play SKT some years ago and loved it but I don't recall if it was 100% as written, I am not sure if that is a dealbreaker, but if it is then no hard feelings! 

Hey there! My name is Bern and I'm in my mid-30s if that's okay with you. I've played a single session of DND back in 2017 and have been looking to play it again ever since, so pretty new and hoping to learn. My timezone is GMT/UTC-3 (Brazil) and I have a pretty free schedule, but I'd rather play on weekdays. If you're running an LGBT+ friendly group I'm open to joining. I'm more familiar with the 2024 edition but know a little about the previous 5e.

My character concept is a tiefling warlock with a gift for languages and a thirst for magic that wasn't able to cast. He'd work as a translator until he found a book where a fiend was imprisoned; he set it free in exchange for his warlock pact, so no stakes on his soul for now but plenty of space for shenanigans.

Hi, I'm toast and i would be happy to join your party

Hi JD, my username is PolarYt323, if you need to use names that can be discussed later, late teens, newish player, done some one shots before, timezone is AEST
