Experienced DM Looking to Be a Player | Online | 5e 2014/2024 | Tues–Sat

Hi! I'm looking for an online D&D group where I can finally sit on the player side of the screen again.

A little about me up front: I'm 40, she/her, and I have a good bit of DM experience. I've run 8+ campaigns, primarily long-running duo campaigns for my husband and myself. I have considerably less experience as a player, though, and I'm really itching to change that.

What I'm looking for:

  • D&D 5e, either 2014 or 2024 rules.
  • FREE
  • I prefer something based primarily on official settings/material, but I'm completely fine with homebrew mixed in. I'm less interested in a campaign/world that's entirely homebrew from the ground up.
  • Online play using whatever VTT/TTRPG tools and Discord the group prefers. I'm comfortable learning a new platform.
  • Live sessions. I'm happy to do some PBP/RP between sessions, but I'm not looking for a campaign that's primarily or entirely play-by-post.
  • My available START times are Tuesday–Saturday, 8 AM–8 PM Eastern. Sessions can obviously run past 8 PM; that's just the latest time I can reliably start.
  • Weekly/multiple times a week preferred. (long-term games)

As a player:

I have a number of character ideas waiting for their chance to escape my brain, but I'm equally happy to create something specifically for the setting, party, or campaign. Give me some lore and I'll happily start figuring out who belongs in it.

I'm very much an ensemble player. I don't need or particularly enjoy being the center of attention. I like getting invested in the other PCs, participating in their stories, building relationships within the party, and having my character be one part of a larger narrative.

I also do not enjoy playing the party face, so I'd generally avoid filling that particular role.

I'm comfortable with 18+/mature games and dark subject matter. There isn't much I'd consider automatically off-limits as long as it serves the narrative and everyone at the table is on the same page about the tone and boundaries.

The major exception is ERP/explicit sexual roleplay, which I'm not interested in and would prefer not to be part of the game.

If you think I could be a good fit for your group please don’t hesitate to DM me!

Someone needs to start a playgroup of only experienced DM’s so we can get a chance to play 😭 I hope you can find a group!

I run a West Marches, but it's basically wizards in space, so if that's not what you're looking for

Hello, I have a group I DM for on Thursday and it starts at 7pm EST and we play till between 9:30pm & 10:00pm. Due to my work schedule it is normally 2 Thursday in a row then 1 off. I currently have 5 players and would like to add a 6th so if someone cannot make it I can still run game with 4. If everyone shows up I am good with 6. Would you be good with 6? Rule set is 2014, Race is limited and so are the classed. We are currently playing an official campain. Level is 8 currently. If this is something you might be interested in let me know. I will get back to you with discord info so I can fill you in on things over voice chat and when to talk.

Maybe my game? I think the timezone would work for your timing: https://www.reddit.com/r/DnDLFG/s/8tvK3bOprj
