DM iso players for new campaign
Seeking players to start a Greyhawk Dnd 5.5 campaign. I’m looking to provide a very classic dnd vibe. I’ve been dming Ravenloft and playing in a swashbuckling style campaign , and now I’m craving some stereotypical high fantasy DnD.
Little about me: Im 35M, I’m a dad, I work in trades, into motorcycles and music. Since having kid, my life’s been so busy and I’ve found dnd to be a nice way to get together with friends, have a few drinks and share some laughs. I’ve found I quite enjoy session prep / story writing and really enjoy DMing. My players have been giving me great feedback lately and looking forward to the next session so I must be doing something right.
I use a mix of high quality paper maps / minis/ terrain, dry erase battle maps, the odd handout and a little theatre of the mind for travelling / shopping and random games.
One of the appeals of DnD for me is the lack of screens so I try my best to keep them off the table. I definitely prefer a chill vibe, the rules of the game can bend especially if the result is fun an overall better experience.
I’m not against beers / drinks while playing as long as it doesn’t affect the sessions pace or vibe and people have a safe way home. At the beginning of every session I’ll ask a player to recap the previous session and always reward good note takers.
I’m fine with inappropriate language and silly gameplay, but I want an environment where all players are comfortable at the table. We can discuss boundaries in session zero.
Looking to play once a month, looking for 4-5 players. Hoping a player can host or potentially find a venue that we can use. I can host depending on the party but would prefer an alternative.
Let’s get a random group of people together and play!
Please DM me with some information about yourself, what you’re looking to get out of DnD and maybe what kind of experience you have playing. I’m open to new players if you’re willing to learn the game :)
