Looking for a GM to show us what they're proud of!

Adult
Greetings weary traveler, I hope this post finds you well. My fellow adventurers and I are looking for a lovely DM to take us on a daring tale of intrigue and joint story telling!
We’re a group of four friends with varying levels of D&D experience looking for someone who wants to run a campaign they're excited to show off! We love meeting new people, and want to find someone we can connect with and enjoy our time playing with!
We know it can be daunting to join an established group of friends, so we’re more than welcoming if you want to invite a friend or two to join the party! That just means more pals for us.
The important game information:
- Our preferred play time is 1:30-5pm EST Wednesdays, but we want to stay a little flexible on a case by case basis.
- We're looking to play 5.5e/2024 as it's something we haven't gotten to sink our teeth into yet, but we're amenable to 5e/2014 if need be.
- While we don't like to go crazy with it, we enjoy having the freedom to pitch and discuss homebrew, and would love to see it from your end as well!
- Foundry is our strong preference for VTT, but we aren't opposed to Roll20 or something else if absolutely necessary. We by no means ask for visual for every scene, but battlemaps for planned combat is our one requirement.
- D&D Beyond is our preferred way to do character sheets. I personally own most of the sourcebooks, and am able to share them with you and the group. We do enjoy and would like to make use of the third party books on website as well.
- Our group’s preferred content ratio is something along the lines of 60/40 roleplay to combat.
Now, a little about each of us so you can get a general vibe for the players to see if you think you’re a fit for our group.
Nora:
Hello! I’m Nora, 25, and I use she/they pronouns. I’ve been playing D&D for about six years now and ever since I started I’ve been hooked. It very quickly become one of my biggest hobbies and is very lovely escapism. I love fantasy a lot, I love a good book, I’m a big fan of the Percy Jackson franchise and the Cosmere. I play games like Fire Emblem, Halo, XCOM 2, Valorant, Baldur’s Gate 3, Lethal Company, etc, etc my taste in games is all over the place. My top 3 movies are Train to Busan, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and Inception. My music taste is all over the place, but I’m really into Beach Bunny lately. I’m also a writer and streamer, I could honestly yap for awhile, but we can get to know each other more over some D&D and hopefully some games :)
Arlo:
Hallo! I’m Arlo, I’m 23 and use they/he pronouns. I have veeery little experience with playin’ D&D (so expect a lot of questions) and I truly want to change that with my friends! I’m currently getting my D&D fix through the “Dungeons and Daddies” podcast. Games that I enjoy include the entire Ace Attorney series, Undertale/Deltarune, Hades and much much more! My comfort movies include Everything Everywhere All at Once, 13 Going on 30 and Up. I pretty much enjoy every kind of music genre but my favorite artists are Laufey, Twenty One Pilots and Sleep Token. I’m always down to parallel play and create new friendships with the help of questions that span from super silly to seriously thought provoking. Talk to you soon, future bestie!
Isaac:
Hey! I’m Isaac, 25, he/him. I’ve been playing D&D (with Nora!) for ~6ish years as well. I’m a 5e DM myself, about to hit 3 years of my first campaign this month, which is crazy to think about. Stories and narrative experiences have always been a love of mine, and I’m always trying to broaden my horizon when it comes to art as a whole - whether that be physical art, books, video games, music, or anything else you can express experience with. A few of my favorite games, in no particular order, include Halo Reach, Rimworld, Risk of Rain 2, Dark Souls, and Minecraft. I’m looking forward to meeting a new friend or two!
Ashley:
Hii! I’m Ashley (Ash works too), and I go by she/her pronouns. I’ve been playing tabletop for about 3 years now, but not too much D&D. I tend to play World of Darkness and homebrew, custom systems more often. Despite that, I am still familiar with 5e…I’m just not too privy to metas nor an expert! Apart from tabletop, I love competitive reality tv, reading, writing (especially world building),, and of course gaming. Dead by Daylight, Divinity, Borderlands, you name it, I’ve probably heard of it or played it. In the fall I’ll be in my final year of game design, and the hope is to become a narrative designer one day, whether that be for digital or analog games! I’ve been itching for a new campaign to roleplay in with a setting that has room for compelling storytelling, so I’m looking forward to the new adventure!
When it comes to RPGs, we all love to be invested in roleplay and enjoy any opportunity to engage with the world and the characters within it. We also like having the chance to just sit around a campfire or a table and chat in character!
For combat, we enjoy strong, important fights that have meaning and weight to the story. While we aren’t necessarily looking for anything super gritty, we don’t shy away from the occasional character death should it happen and makes sense.
For a setting, we’re really hoping to find someone who wants to show off their passion and hard work they’ve put into crafting the campaign. Whether it’s completely your brain child or a pre-existing setting doesn’t matter to us. We just want to see what you’re proud of and are excited to share. You being excited about your world will just spread that excitement to us. If you've made it this far into the post, make sure to mention your favorite subclass in the last box of the form!
Like it was said earlier, we’re really looking for someone who’s not afraid to just hang out! Talk to us about your favorite D&D character, or the book you’re currently reading, or an anime that you just watched, etc. If you’re going to be completely radio silent in-between sessions, I don’t think you’re going to find the right group in us.
This is a very inclusive group, bigotry of any kind is not welcome. If all that wonderful information sounds just right for you, go ahead and fill out the form below and we’ll contact you at some point during the week. I’ll make sure the post is marked as closed whenever we find the one, so if it’s not, help yourself!
