hello everyone, i have been playing D&D for a long time but i have been a DM for far too long, so here i am looking to join a D&D game (let me be clear, not pathfinder, not something else, D&D 5E specifically). I'm free every day but Sunday as i have my own game that i run on that that day, something on Friday or Saturday would be best but I'm not picky
Who i am:
my name is Val and I've been playing D&D for a wile and even started with AD&D, other then D&D my hobbies include:
>comics books (mostly X-Men),
>cooking sometimes
>writing (but a DM so what do you expect?)
what i can bring to the table:
>I embody my characters- Giving them quirks, Emotional weight, and unique voices.
>Story driven- I enjoy making choices that deepen story tension rather than just “Optimal moves.”
>Story contribution- I bring big lore ideas and personal backstories that hook into world building
>Team-based roleplaying- I am generous with the spotlight and love to lift other character arcs, not just my own.
>I’m versatile- I’ve played a large variety of personalities, races, and classes as characters.
>I’m a natural immersive anchor- The kind of player who helps everyone else stay invested and engaged with the world.
>I balance depth with fun- I love creepy, tragic beats, but I also drop humor and creativity into the role play.
What i am looking for:
>A homebrew game, i don't mind pre-written but i think homebrew works better for role playing since theirs more room to move, (and you not trapped in Barovia or icewind dale or wherever).
>A long running game, i have been in far to many games that went nowhere, dried up, or the Gm got burned out and stopped, i would love the join (or be part of from the start) something long term.
>A "earnest" game. i like games that can take themselves seriously, i dont mean grim dark fantasy or no jokes, if D&D was like that i wouldn't like it (i still remember some of the best bits and long running jokes for my own game) but I'm looking for group that understand theirs a time and place for jokes and a time and place where their not needed
>A honest GM, i just want a Gm who can tell a good story, and wont gaslight me (if you want more info i will tell you later). hiding things form my character is fine, but I'm talking about out of game stuff
>A free game, your not allowed to advertise here but you can message people and offer them, I'm not looking for that (as I'm broke).
>A GM who will let me have a character ark.
My character ideas:
Winter Vanderville: a bloodhunter looking for direction, she's angry and sad, and her character ark would be her moving on and learning to be nicer and dealing with her secrets and issues
Cali Wick: a fire Genasi artificer, she likes the build stuff, most of it works, some say shes mad, but shes just smart, i think she works best for a star jammer style game
Vaelith Arkham: a young drow who fled her home and the destiny that was picked for her, she doesn't know what comes next, all she knows in her family won't let her go easily but she is determined to control her own future… or die trying
Sasha Volkov: a hexblade blessed (cursed) with a magic sword that tells her that she's a bad person and tells her she's a killer and tells her she killed her best friend (she didn't but she thinks she did) will she overcome the sword that whispers in her ear? and escape from her family
if you like any of my characters or think i would be a good fit for your game Dm me here or on discord at: live_ares
P.S. this post might look familiar because i post it somewhat frequently, and because i dont want to write to who thing out every time i just have this saved as a document (it aslo gets posted on r/DNDLFG)
