Game: D&D 5e Group preferred: dndbeyond sheets on Discord PBP w/Avrae and/or Voice w/TTS mebbie Experience: Somewhat new to 5e, but decently-studied and comfortably familiar with ttrpg systems. Location/Timezone: US EST Availability: Morning (for me, at least) or early afternoon for live sessions preferred, but extremely flexible. Preferred role: Player (Have some DM experience. Can fill that role if no other available.) Game style: Decent balance of rp/combat/explore. Classic casual adult setting on the lighthearted side, starting at level 1. Either homebrew or a published module is fine. I’ve never ran through one yet and haven’t seen any notable spoilers.
Looking for a medium to long campaign with other players and DM who are either just starting out or at least still want to enjoy the early levels when you can kinda learn the ropes in application. Would rather bumble along at a casual (yet consistent) pace, ask dumb questions and laugh over our screw-ups than try to keep up with a powergaming numbercrunch tactical precision experience that’s best left to veterans. I’m not knocking that style of play. Years down the line I will most likely play a round of that style, but I still look forward to the humble level 1 rite of passage of cleaning the spiders out of grandma’s attic. Ain’t been there or done that yet, knowhatimean?
I “picture” a small Discord server or even just a channel with a group and live DM, processing at least one play-by-post turn per day on average, with live sessions a couple times per week. Voice would be nice. Videoconference would be great in theory but I run off of satellite so my up speed is junk and it might not be feasible (I’m curious though, so wouldn’t mind giving it a shot). A VTT would be awesome as well and my personal choice would be Tabletop Simulator since I’d rather blow $20 once than deal with paying a subscription on one of the others. Also, Discord bots are wonderful tools but no soulless fully-automated character processing centers, pls.
This is my first foray back into ttrp since the mid eighties, so I can only speculate what works and is common in practice compared to what I imagine. I don’t expect that this specific-yet-somehow-vague picture in my head is 100% accurate to how things actually go down out there. I’m flexible. Someone want to just run a couple voice sessions per week and not deal with the pbp? I’m cool with that. Can’t sit down long enough in one sitting to host a live event but you love running pbp with layered Gimp images as your VTT? I’m down.
A good amount of my money and time is already invested so I’m not planning on flaking. Just want to play some dnd and have some fun while learning the system. If anyone is planning on running something with some odd combination of some bullet points here, or you're looking too and just want to network to join the search, feel free to hit me up on Disco: Clemp#9354
