    Stamets, if you’re legit putting together an online D&D group I’d be super interested. I’ve never played but I vow to not be that guy in the group and to try my hardest.

      I have no problem with new players provided you’re willing to learn, listen and be cooperative. It’s easy to fall into a bit of main character syndrome but as long as you’re willing to receive feedback then you are genuinely already going to be better than like… 60%, minimum, of other online players.

      I’ve been fleshing out a world, nations, factions, gods, and various potential plotlines for the past year or so. Should be done in the next 1-4 weeks, likely sooner than later. If you’re actually interested (or if anyone is), just shoot me a message. The only thing that I actively require from my players is a DnD Beyond account, a Discord account, a sense of humor, a spark of imagination and a goal to both play your story and uplift others in theirs.

        Kind of interested, playing in two games but been having scheduling issues with one so may be in the market, and would love to play in something beyond a module. Despite having two games, only been playing a couple years, these are my 2nd and 3rd ever.

          Definitely not a module. I’ve got a little voice thingy to like… “sell” the world or whatever that is a bit vague. At the time I was still planning a lot of stuff but a buddy wanted me to run a one-shot for him on his birthday so he could play instead of DMing for his group. So I came in as a guest DM. I made this really quickly and slapped it together but the type of vibe that I go for. The voice was also a single recording, normally not so… stuffy and ridiculous sounding. The writing was also slapdash because I had like 5 hours notice for the whole game so don’t sue me too much lol

        Shit, make sure you take good notes. Share that stuff with lemmy.

        I’m too damn paranoid to join in a lemmy related game like that, but it does seem like it would be relatively easy to find a decent group here.

          If you want to join in a game, I’m probably as safe as you’re gonna get. At least all things considered. I’ve got a reputation riding on it lol that and the fact that I am AGGRESSIVELY protective of my players because they’re also my friends. I don’t tolerate people being a dick but I’m not the dude to just attack someone. Chats are more productive. And I run session 0s, or just little hang out sessions, to see how everyone vibes.
