Hey there! I'm Raid and I've been DM'ing a bit for the past few years. Now, I wouldn't call myself a veteran 5e DM, but I know my way around! I currently have two different groups going, one is a regularly scheduled Sunday night long running campaign, while the other is on rare occasions when everyone is able to get together I.E once or twice every other month. With that being said, I'm looking to DM for a few other groups to try out a few other campaign ideas!
TIMES: I'm fairly flexible, but the following start times are preferable
Sometime between 4 - 9pm CST Saturday
Sometime between 4 - 9pm CST Monday
Sometime between 4 - 6pm CST Tuesday
Sometime between 2 - 9pm CST Wednesday
Sometime between 4 - 6pm CST Friday
Sometime around 3pm CST Sunday
The length of each session is still in question
MUST HAVE A WORKING MIC AND ACCESS TO DISCORD
Now, before I throw you a pitch for the different campaign ideas allow me to give you a bit of information on myself and what I'm looking for with each group!
Name: Josh
Pronouns: He/Him
Age: 19
DM Experience: 3+ years
DM Style: (can fluctuate depending on the campaign) I'm a fairly RP heavy DM that enjoys building elements of the campaign around the PC's background and stories. I do of course include combat, but it's generally much more impactful than regular grinding missions. I like to have impactful events followed by smaller more menial tasks that can allow for some growth and character development!
About Me: I'm a college student and a tutor that works a few jobs! I'm a big ****in DnD nerd that also used to be super into the Warhammer universe.
What I'm looking for from you!
Name: (your name of course, or whatever you'd want me and other players to call you)
Pronouns: (pronouns obviously)
Age: (getting self explanatory at this point)
Experience: (whether it be DM'ing or playing, both 5e and any other rpg game)
Playstyle/Preference: (what type of playstyle/DM style do you prefer?)
Campaign: (tell me which campaign you're interested in and a bit about why, if you can!)
About Me: (small little blurb about yourself I can get to know you a bit by!)
Campaigns
Here come the campaign ideas! Each will be different with different age parameters, what the DM style is going to be like, etc.
Feel free to read the bold blurbs at the end to get the TL:DR of each campaign if you don't want to read through each pitch.
1) Rifts of Alera [18+][High Fantasy/Horror/Apocalyptic][RP: Heavy Combat: Medium][3-4 players]
Crooked crows and twisted stags cry betwixt the cracked deadwood trees that sit atop the blackened corrupt hills. A cold wind laced with foul arcana rolls over the dips and rises of the scarred plains. The sky is blotted with dark grey smoke, acidic rain falls from broiling storm clouds, and sun rays are considered nothing more than a children's story. The world wasn't always this way. By Gods and Devils alike, Alera was considered a jewel amongst the Terrestrial Realm. Elves, dwarves, humans, and various other races lived in harmony for thousands and thousands of years without much more than menial conflict. As Gods of virtue and celestials looked upon the crowned jewel that is Alera with protective eyes, Devils, demons, and Gods of Tempest and violence looked upon Alera with prospective eyes. Wanting to claim the jewel for themselves, creatures of the Abyssal realm lied in wait to pounce and claim Alera. Opening a rift that served as a connection to the Abyssal realm, the monstrosities that emerged from the tear instantly set out on a conquest of destruction to corrupt and kill the inhabitants of the Celestial's beloved land. A war between creatures of the Celestial realm and creatures of the Abyssal realm tore throughout the land of Alera, demolishing the land beneath them as cursed and holy powers alike shattered the fabric of reality surrounding this very planet. Centuries passed and the war continues to rage. Areas specifically cordoned as warzones with a potent atmosphere enough to kill any mortals that stumble upon it. Communities of the original inhabitants of the once crowned jewel, now roam the plains in search of a way to halt the ongoing war that decimates their home. But beware, the chaotic influence of Abyssal creatures runs rampant upon Aleran lands. You never know what may happen, never know what is real, what isn't, you may lose your conscious, you may lose your sense of self, but never forget the one rule. Stay alive. (TL:DR horror fantasy setting with monsters, demons, and celestials constantly warring across the lands. Violence, gore, horror, religious references, and mature content. Think of it like 5e Fantasy Doom Eternal)
2)Ride the Winds! [16+][Mid Fantasy/Magitech/Steampunk][RP: Heavy Combat: Low][3-4 Players]
A crisp refreshing wind brushes past your face and through your nostrils as you take a deep breathe atop the deck of your Winds Ship, Valkyrie. Coursing through the air and sailing the clouds you feel a sense of freedom as you look down upon the world below you, the lands of Navili. Wide and tall mountains ranges, glistening flowing rivers, lively green forests, and vibrant wildlife make up the environment of Navili. You are a crewmate on the supply ferry for the Herulor Republic, "Valkyrie". You and your crew are tasked with supporting the Herulor Republic with their battle for secession against the oppressive totalitarian government of the Western Union. They have expanded their sphere of control and influence all across the western continents, now setting their eyes upon dominating those in the East. Colonies and settlements dot all across the western boundaries and islands of the eastern continents, the Union exerting their desire for total and complete world domination. The Herulor Republic is one of those many colonies settling on the eastern front, one of many colonies that was less than pleased under the Union's control. Citizens under the Union on the island of Herulor came to a boiling point in which they revolted against the Union, eventually forming the Herulor Republic. Adventures in the sky filled with comradery, airship battles, pirates, flying beasts, political strife, and some good ol dinner with the crew chocks this campaign full with content and characters. (TL:DR mid fantasy steampunk adventure campaign in which you fly in a steampunk supply airship as a group of rebels against a big government. This will be more of a fun campaign with a few serious twists on it)
3) Ember of Hope [17+][High Fantasy/Communal/Apocalyptic][RP: High Combat: Medium][4-5 Players]
Dry frostbitten tendrils of wind lick at the tip of your nose and ends of your ears. The snowy wastelands of Glacian are no hospitable place. Beasts, hunters, and fanatics prowl the lands in search of food, laborers, and converts. It is a free-for-all battlefield for all those outside of communities and marked peace areas. Fresh and accessible resources are often fought over to the death, eventually leading to the entire demise of the losers. This way of life was considered average, normal by the standards of the wasteland. Hope, humanity, and decency were deadweight for those attempting to survive in this frosty hell. For decades many people lived like this, until one little boy was born. Rumors spread like a wildfire of a town that was self-sustaining, a town that had access to a farm, usable water, live grass and trees. This town very quickly rose as many inhabitants of Glacian picked up the broken pieces of their hope and travelled to this rumored town, with the revitalization of their crushed hearts. Whether you, members of the party, are already established members of this community, or if you're wandering adventurers and Wastemen, as you arrive in this town you will come to know that the source of this life is but a young mute boy no more than twelve-years-old. The elders of this town speak of a vision their prophet had, that if brought to the Temple of Uslameth, told to be the center of Glacian's creation, that this boy could use his strange powers to save the lands once again bring back the green that it had been lacking for so long. (TL:DR high fantasy ice age apocalyptic campaign in which you must trekk through a frozen wasteland in order to deliver a mute boy with the powers to breath life into the land, to the Temple of Uslameth for the sake of Glacian)
4) Paradisum: Land of Wishes [16+][Medium Fantasy/Video game-like/Isekai][RP: High Combat: Medium][3-5 Players]
Many dreams, aspirations, and goals seem almost entirely unattainable. Yet we still seek after them, why is that? Do we hold on to a shred of hope that maybe there's a very slim avenue in which we may see them come to fruition? Is it the driving factor to our continued existence? Many people are aware they're dreams will never come to be, yet still get depressed when it doesn't. But what if I told you there was a land in which your dreams could come true? Unimaginable riches, immeasurable power, near-immortality, and many many other gifts can be claimed in the land of Paradisum. Thousands upon thousands of people from the modern twenty-first century find themselves resting their heads against their soft pillows to sleep, and dream about being able to ascertain their aspirations. That feeling festers and culminates until, that slim avenue to the end, to their desires, becomes presented to them. Arriving on a vast completely barren black wasteland that stretches indefinitely in front of a gargantuan mysterious black tower that extends up and up towards the black sky. The Tower of Periculum, or the tutorial to Paradisum. The gate to the land of dreams is locked, and the key rests at the top of the mysterious Tower of Periculum. A series of mental and physical trials alike await at each floor of the ginormous tower to weed out the weak and determine those worthy of Paradisum. You will be required to work alongside or betray those beside you in order to make it through this hellish landscape. Will you survive and see yourself at the gates of Paradisum? Or will you fall to the pits of the Black Plains cursed to forever travel its barren wastelands? (TL:DR medium fantasy isekai-esque campaign with video game like elements. characters are all from modern times and transported to the Tower of Periculum because of a strong to desire for something leading them to seeking out Paradisum, a fantasy world where anything can come true. !! GREAT FOR BEGINNERS !!) (note: inspired by both Tower of God and Second Coming of Gluttony. Different, but similar concept)
Alright! That's all of em! Apologies for the long read. If you really did read ALL of that I really commend you as it is quite the read. But, nevertheless thank you very much for your time! Feel free to comment responding to this post with the aforementioned information or DM me! Thanks and have a marvelous day!

Playstyle/Preference: I prefer a solid blend of roleplay and combat
Campaign: Interested in Ember Of Hope or Rifts Of Alera, Ember of Hope cause it feels both serious and lighthearted enough for me though I wouldn't mind a darker setting such as the one described in Rifts Of Alera
About Me: I'm a kind of weird dude to be honest, usually quiet until Im comfortable with folks and then my...well let's just say I may have a slight issue with how much I cuss but I often incorporate this issue into my characters which I love making. I'm an amateur writer working on a few things rn while also being a broke college student so that's nice but yee

Pronouns: He/Him (I don't really mind what you call me)
Age: 17
Experience: I've been playing for 3 years and dming for 2.
Playstyle/Preference: I like heavy roleplaying moments when a DM brings something lore-based from a character's background into the equation and makes things either serious or sad. I do like combat and mechanics, but RP is something I've grown comfortable with.
Campaign: Ember of Hope because of the whole landscape idea, not to mention the story sounds pretty interesting. As well as Paradisum: Land of Wishes, it has a very cool concept that I would love to play.
About Me: I am a sucker for a good story and people to enjoy the story with. I got into dnd when a friend introduced it to me, and I was hooked ever since. If you need to reach me, my disc. is Kyadius #1822
Experience: i haven't actually played the game before, but i always read/watch way too much about anything im interested in so i think i have a decent grasp on the basics
Playstyle/Preference: im not too sure yet, i think there should be a healthy mix of roleplay and gameplay
Campaign: Ember Of Hope sounds really interesting to me, especially since i love snow and icy landscapes and that whole aesthetic
About Me: I'm a trans girl, i love to write, read, play games, and listen to music. i really really enjoy fantasy stories, my favorite book series are the lord of the rings and chronicles of narnia, so my love of fantasy eventually catapulted me into wanting to play dnd, now here we are
my discord tag is jessie#1977 if you'll have me :)
Experience: Have both played and DM'd in the past however it has been a couple of years since college and military work started so it has been pretty crazy the past few years.
Playstyle/Preference: Lean towards combat, however, I do not mind roleplay...due to the extended period of time away from DND I am probably a bit rusty at both but especially RP.
Campaign: I am interested in Ember of Hope. I loved the ice aesthetic and really only like to play in a high-fantasy setting
About Me: I am a senior in college and a current military member. This, unfortunately, puts some time restraints when I am available to play. I cannot put a desired time as each day is way different however, I am willing to work with people to meet a desired time. Evenings are usually better for me. I tend to be a pretty outgoing guy and am pretty personable. I enjoy all kinds of fantasy and sci-fi and love sports and working out. Hope this gives you an idea of who I am a little bit!
My discord tag is Nova#8732 if you have any other questions. Thanks a lot!
Playstyle: all around. More ranged magic/crowd control than anything. I like rp and battle, I try to be my character as much as possible.
Campaign: i like them all but Alera calls to me.
About me: I'm an old school fantasy nerd, I've read just about everything but Terry brooks. Figuring things out and doing clever things is just about my favorite part of the game. I'm willing to play any role to balance except rogue. I have a few prebuilds I'm more phb than homebrew so dm doesn't rip out their hair. Available 5pm onward all evenings but sunday
Playstyle/Preference: since im new i would like to expirience diferent styles
Campaign: Ember hope, it has a very interesting description and i think it could be intresting for a beginner like me
About Me: I love anime and mangas also i like watching people play games and recently been interested in d and d even if i dont know mutch about the rules. just about to graduate from universty.
Experience: maybe like a total of 5 days of actual playtime, but I have taken quite a lot of time reading about the game.
Playstyle: I don't really have one since I haven't been able to play much but I have looked like a monk a lot and I think I'd like to play in that class.
Campaign: Rifts of Alera seems the coolest to me without a doubt and the last line where it was like a doom eternal sold me 100%.
About me: I am a computer science major in college, and since I am going on winter break soon I will have plenty of time to learn and play this game so days and times aren't an issue for me.
Experience: I did a ton of roleplaying when I was in high school, but not so much since then. I've played a handful of shorter campaigns/one-shots with friends. I really want to get into something more serious, though.
Playstyle/Preference: I like playing with an emphasis on characters. I think it would be great to have a game where the characters' backstories are taken into account. While I like combat too, I wouldn't want it to be the main focus of the campaign. I'm excited about this post because it looks like your DM style matches really well with what I like.
Campaign: I really like the idea behind Ember of Hope! Out of all the prompts, it gives me the clearest idea of what to expect and is the easiest for me to generate character ideas for. I also dig the setting. I think my second choice would be Ride the Winds because it just sounds like a good, fun time.
About Me: I'm a college student finishing up my degree in art teaching! I've always liked making art and telling stories, and my love of the fantasy genre heavily influences my work. When I have free time, I either spend it crocheting or playing video games. I would describe myself as a laid-back person who's eager to jump into a new adventure. Also, I'm looking to join a campaign alongside my husband, if you'll have the both of us. Here's his profile:
Name: Erik
Pronouns: He/Him
Age: 25
Experience: I've played plenty of RPGs in the past, but nothing strictly DnD or 5e. I'm familiar with the rules, but will probably need some help with the details.
Playstyle/Preference: I always like it when a session gets a little silly. Seriousness is important, but I love the unorthodox.
Campaign: I think Ride the Winds sounds really fun. Unique game mechanics are always fun to try. I do think Ember of Hope has the coolest story though.
About Me: I'm a data scientist working full-time. I really enjoy puzzles and strategy games. I'm usually a lighthearted guy. I know a lot about dinosaurs.
Experience: 2 months 5e dnd but i have done some reading so i know the mere basics, rpg video games
Playstyle/Preference: I like a good balanced play between story/rpg and combat/exploring. Don't mind silly and chaotic gaming, and don't mind the serious type either
Campaign: I like all of em, but if you ask for preference I would go for paradisum or winds.
About Me: You know the quiet kid that always kept to himself in the corner? Thats me, trying to survive in a crazy world. Big sci-fi and fantasy nerd.I take my time meeting new people and try my best at talking although Im horrible at it. I got introduced to DnD through a good friend and we played awhile and liked it. Unfortunately due to irl issues we had to stop and never finished the campaign. Im a complete noobie but like to try again at it if possible. I work mostly in the morning so im mostly free after 6 pm EST. From there Im free on Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Experience: in College I DMed and played. DM: 3.5e and Dark Heresy. Played most of the whitewolf games.
Playstyle/Preference: Focus on making a good story as apposed to power gaming.
Campaign: Rifts of Alera.Sounds pretty metal.
About Me: Research chemist. Been enjoying RPGs since playing Baldurs gate as a kid. Pretty laid back, spending down time with games and painting minis.
Campaign and I have a deep thirst for D&D that has not been actually quenched in a very long time
