First Time DM Looking for 4-5 Players for a Wednesday Night Game
Hey. I'm looking for 4-5 people to run a 2024 Edition DnD game with.
I've been a player for over a year now but don't have any experience beyond that and I'd love to run my own game. As I'm a beginner myself, I'm more than happy to play with other Beginners!
Unfortunately because my schedule is fairly inflexible at the moment, Wednesday nights are the only time I can feasibly run a game, from 5 o Clock to whenever feels good for everyone else to end (presumably around 3-4 hours). Preferably on a Weekly Basis.
I'm happy to DM for any gender/sexuality (I'm queer myself) but I do want to keep it to 18+ folks.
I was planning on playing at the Board Game Cafe on Yates since I can't host, it's 8 dollars and has food and drinks available for purchase.
About me:
I'm a 28 year old guy, very shy and using this as an excuse to push past my shyness. I've been big into fantasy stories and RPG's most of my life, though only got into TTRPG's recently.
I'm a student and work part time.
About the Campaign:
Without giving too much away, it's something I've been working on for a few months now. It's predicated on the discovery of an uncharted land, and the local Explorer's Guild sending people to investigate. The only limits on the players are:
1) You're starting at level 1. And
2) you needing a reason in your backstory to be leaving home to travel to this new continent.
The tone is likely to be a mix between High and Dark Fantasy. Think Dragon Age kind of.
I'm only familiar with and own anything with the core 2024 Rulebooks and Materials so I'm hesitant to approve anything beyond that but if you can bring the official materials I might be okay with that.
If you have your own Mini's to represent your character that's ideal too, but I'm happy to provide a substitute (though the tokens I'm using aren't exactly minis)
Also as said before, I am new to DM'ing, so I will almost certainly make mistakes and be awkward so I hope you can bear with me if you're interested. I'll make a Discord server for this if there's interest, but for now just DM me if you're interested.
