We are trying to have a one-shot today to start building some chemistry, and we are a few players short! If you want to join, please join us on Discord:

https://discord.gg/FW7MMX 

Game: D&D 5e
Group preferred: Online 
Experience: A few years (5ish by now? Ran my own homebrew campaign for ~1 year with weekly meetings)
Location/Timezone: Central Standard Time
Availability: Evenings and weekends. 
Preferred role: DM 
Game style: I would like to lead a RP-heavy game where we can have some laughs but also explore issues that matter to us. Whether that may be gender expression, diversity, xenophobia/stereotypes, overcoming adversity, I want to create a safe space where we can challenge ourselves to grow through shared storytelling.

If you are interested, please join me on Discord: https://discord.gg/7TG3jp 

A little more about what I have planned:

I want to start with a "session zero" with my players where we can decide the type of campaign that we want to run, and agree on some basic rules/homebrew. It is also important for me to have a group that is safe and starts to develop some chemistry, so we will have some time to play a one-off introductory adventure and see how we get along.

My DMing style favours RP, but I try to throw in enough fights and challenges to keep the story lively. Many of my encounters can be resolved non-violently, but sometimes a gelatinous cube drops from the ceiling and there's no arguing with it! I also like to keep my world "alive" as the players adventure within it. If they get side-tracked dungeon delving on the way to fight off a rampaging red dragon, they may arrive to their destination to find it charred! I also like to play with the "Rule of Cool". As long as it is not game-breaking, I am willing to bend the rules a little to let my players do awesome and creative things.

I am open to players of any skill level, newbies and vets alike. I do ask that my players are 18+ and willing to use a microphone to play. I would prefer webcams too, but that can be negotiated with the group.

So, if this sounds interesting to you, drop me a line here or join the Discord server and answer the following:

• Name and pronouns:
• A little about yourself: (share as much or as little as you wish!) 
• Experience level:
• Availability (please include time zone):
• How long is your ideal D&D session? (2ish hours? 6+ hour marathons?)
• Would you prefer a homebrew world, or a pre-made adventure? (and if so, which?)
• What over all tone would you prefer for our shared story? (whimsical, serious, horror, mystery, etc)

Best regards,

Char (He/Him)

• Name and pronouns: Hannah (she/her)
• A little about yourself: (share as much or as little as you wish!)  I’m a new player that just wishes to start a campaign and enjoy myself. I am disabled and it allows me to play at any time of day for as long as I so choose. If you would like to get to know me better just ask questions as I’m very bad at introducing myself and anything
• Experience level: beginner 
• Availability (please include time zone): all day everyday
• How long is your ideal D&D session? (2ish hours? 6+ hour marathons?) doesn’t matter to me
• Would you prefer a homebrew world, or a pre-made adventure? (and if so, which?) any!
• What over all tone would you prefer for our shared story? (whimsical, serious, horror, mystery, etc) any!

Hi Hannah, nice to make your acquaintance! Since you mentioned you are a beginner, have you played any D&D before? (no problem if not, I just want to know where you are at)

You are welcome to jump the discord server (https://discord.gg/7TG3jp  ) as  I am likely to answer faster over there than here (though here is OK too for now). 

I have many years ago. Was in a campaign that later fell apart. Never played again until now

• Name and pronouns: Connor (he/him) 
• A little about yourself: (share as much or as little as you wish!)  I've recently got into DnD I've played two campaigns  that fell through because of life/attendence and I'm looking to keep playing, super into the RP and just wanna see one of my character's through. I work a 9-5 during the week and I'm usually very available during weekends
• Experience level: beginner/novice 
• Availability (please include time zone): PST weekday nights/all day weekends
• How long is your ideal D&D session? (2ish hours? 6+ hour marathons?) I'm good for max 6 hours on weekdays weekends i could go all day
• Would you prefer a homebrew world, or a pre-made adventure? (and if so, which?) Im up for any adventure
• What over all tone would you prefer for our shared story? (whimsical, serious, horror, mystery, etc) any I've never done a horror or mystery one so those might be interesting

Glad to have you here Connor, feel free to hop on the Discord channel (https://discord.gg/SjWt9s6 ). Once we have a couple more people, we can chat about how we want to run this further.

Greetings,

I am currently looking for a long-term group to join consistently on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule, that has reliable players and a talented DM. I am in Vancouver, PST, free weekdays after 6pm, and weekends all day. Mostly I'm interested in having fun, with dedicated roleplay and detailed characters a close second, and am alright with streaming as long as it doesn't negatively affect the game. I have several characters you can choose from, with backstories I can adjust to fit your scenario, including a twitchy gnoll druid who speaks basic common.

D&D is high enough in my priority list that I will always work my schedule around it, or at least be available with a portable mic and my phone when traveling. My work does involve occasional travel however they are extremely flexible and I pretty much call the shots, hence my portable Youmic lapel podcasting mic. My setup involves a suitable PC with dual monitors, a Neewer mic with boom stand, pop filter, and power supply; which I purchased mostly for roleplaying and gaming through Discord. I have played a number of sessions only using Roll20, and have very decent knowledge of 5e mostly thanks to years of listening to podcasts like Critical Role.

I hope to increase voice acting experience as much as possible, as my diversity of voices & sounds is not extensive (I do a really good crow). I'm male, in my early 30's, and hope to attend a mock-session or meet-up to see if I mesh well with your group. Thanks for reading my 15 min long dissertation on joining your group! :P

• Name and pronouns: Jonathan (He/Him)
• A little about yourself: Hello, I am a still newish player, I have played a few campaigns but fell through because of simply life. Been a long time fan of the game and really look forward to getting a fun bunch of people together!  
• Experience level: Noobie, I have 6-8 months of playing lower level characters.
• Availability (please include time zone): EST free on Saturdays but Sunday nights 6PM Midweek evenings.
• How long is your ideal D&D session? (2ish hours? 6+ hour marathons?) I am fine with 4-6 hours
• Would you prefer a homebrew world, or a pre-made adventure? (and if so, which?) I will Leave that to the DM i am happy with either or!
• What over all tone would you prefer for our shared story? (whimsical, serious, horror, mystery, etc) Mix of everything I guess as long as we are having fun!

Well, I hope I qualify as a talented DM! I do understand that life gets in the way at times, but I definitely appreciate your willingness to work around issues to play. Hop on Discord and let's have a chat, and see how we all get along.

Also, I don't know if this is an issue, but I don't envision streaming our game at this point. I would prefer to focus on the people at the table rather than trying to create (and promote) a podcast/twitch stream. -- as much as I'd like to make it big and meet Matt Mercer --

Hi there Tom, I've heard really good things about Hoard and Rise of Tiamat so that's definitely in the cards.

Why don't you join our Discord and we can talk more there?

• A little about yourself: (share as much or as little as you wish!)  42yo Black guy who loves DnD.  Always had interest in it but never got really down to playing it until the virus hit.  I will say CR really got me wanting to play it but I also know all DnD games aren't like it and I don't expect them to be.  I just want to have to fun and make some friends.

• Would you prefer a homebrew world, or a pre-made adventure? (and if so, which?) I've only have experience with homebrew but I seem to like it a bit more because it seems open wor;d and not a set goal or possibly less railroady but I'm willing to do premade to as long as it's not totally on rails.
• What over all tone would you prefer for our shared story? (whimsical, serious, horror, mystery, etc) a mix of it all 

Good to have you here Chris, hop on over to Discord and meet the folx who have joined already. For what it's worth, I'm a huge CR fan and while I'd rather have a game that's true to myself and my players rather than a CR clone, I do hope I can find that kind of camaraderie and fun!
