Player In Peril Looking for a Group

[AtheistPaladin]

The title is a bit melodramatic, but hello! I am a singular player who is currently in the market to join a DnD group. I have played 3.5, 5e, and Pathfinder, and I have been exposed to Vampire the Masquerade but I haven't actually gotten a chance to play much of it because the campaign I joined for it never really took off. Summer has begun, so while I am usually in two campaigns, I am home from university. That means no more DnD, and I am s u f f e r i n g. :( I just wanted to put this here so that people know I exist. If anybody is looking to form a group, find a replacement player for an existing campaign, etc, please let me know! I am not a new player, so any level, low or high, should be fine.

@AtheistPaladin I know there's a market fpr D&D here, but most of our DMs are pretty busy. Ever consider DMing yourself? 5e is easy to pick up.

@JBRam2002I've very seriously considered it, but I don't feel I'm ready yet. I worry that I'm not quick enough on my feet to improvise the way I know I would need to, and that as a result I may get too controlling and rail-roady, causing a bad time. I'm looking to rack up more experience as a player in order to improve my improvisation abilities and get more ideas for campaigns.

@AtheistPaladin I might suggest that you try DMing a PbP game. Be upfront and say you're a newbie DM. People will probably forgive and help you along, and you have time to react without worrying about response time much. I think you might find it rewarding.

Hi there. I'd be interested in DMing for you. I have a group I'm starting to get together over Skype. We're fairly close knit but I doubt they'd object to another member. I run 3.5e although I'm also developing my own TTRPG and at some point in the future I may ask for playtesters.

Irregardless though, we play in Roll20. We tend to play exclusively through text although we're all comfortable voice and face chatting. The latter is strictly optional and if you aren't comfortable with it; no worries.

As far as the premise of the game, I tend to let the players drive the narrative as much as possible. I do extensive worldbuilding but I tend to selectively reveal it to players :-) The game hasn't actually started yet, I'm just kinda getting things together and I'm not totally sure who's going to be able to make it.

If you're interested, PM me.
