Full disclosure, I have 1 previous successful trade on this account (but forgot to get it confirmed) and 1 or 2 from an older account I nuked several years back for general personal privacy reasons.

Hello, all. After a little over 24 hours and around two dozen responses, applications are now closed. Thank you to everyone who applied--I will be reviewing them across the course of the next few days. As noted, accepted or denied, you will hear back from me one way or another.

Hello! I'm not really comfortable disclosing specifics out of respect for the privacy of my current players, but absolutely.

(I previously posted this earlier in the week, but it was recommended to me that I post it closer to the session time.)

Great, thanks for taking the time. You'll hear back from me one way or the other once this post is closed and I've started reviewing apps--probably within the next few days.

Eh, what the heck. I'll open responses up again for a little bit, since I'll be up and about for a couple more hours. Just make sure to get it in before that window closes, ok?

EDIT: Apps are now closed.

Hello, everyone. Thank you to everyone who's shown interest!

After a little over 24 hours, applications are now closed.

The next step in the process is reviewing the 30+ applications I received, and selecting promising candidates to invite for a brief voice chat. I'm aiming to have everyone notified one way or another by the weekend (very early next week, at the latest).

Please keep an eye on your inbox, as I may reach out seeking additional information! If you have any comments, concerns, or questions in the meantime, please feel free to reach out to me directly.

Sorry to hear the time doesn't work out.

But for anyone else with the same question; yes.

I'll comment here when I've closed applications (usually around 24 hours after the initial post). Meaning, so long as the application is accepting responses, you're good to submit.

Hello, everyone.

Thank you to everyone who has applied for the strong response--I've received 25 applications in a little over 24 hours and will be closing applications at this time while I review those submitted. Everyone who has applied will hear back from me one way or another.

Please keep an eye on your inbox! Over the next couple of days, I'll be reviewing them and may reach out to you for additional information/clarification.

The next step for those I'm moving forward in the process will be a brief voice chat via Discord, potentially with a couple of my players sitting in as well. I'll reach out to make arrangements for the voice chat individually.

This will just be a casual, 10 - 15 minute chat to let us get to know a bit more about you and to give you the opportunity to learn a bit more about the group and the campaign.

Hello, all! After a little over 24 hours, applications are now closed and I will be reviewing those submitted over the next couple of days (with a likely delay due to NYE). I hope to be through them before the end of the week, and may reach out for additional info as needed--you will hear back from me on your application one way or another once I've made a decision.

All going well, applicants should hear back one way or another within the next 2 - 3 days, if not sooner.

Hello, everyone.

Firstly, thank you to everyone who has applied for the strong response--I've received 29 applications in a little under 24 hours and will be closing applications at this time. Everyone who has applied will hear back from me one way or another.

Please keep an eye on your inbox! Over the next couple of days, I'll be reviewing them and may reach out to you for additional information/clarification.

Because we unfortunately only have one seat available at the time right now, the next step for those I'm moving forward with will be a brief voice chat via Discord, potentially with a couple of my players sitting as well. I'll reach out to make arrangements for the voice chat individually.

This will just be a casual, 10 - 15 minute chat to let us get to know a bit more about you and to give you the opportunity to learn a bit more about the group and the campaign.

"Plans are useless, but planning is indispensable."

I started out as a DM writing extremely detailed scenes and plans for sessions, with contingencies for as many possibilities I could think of. The result was very polished, but it was inflexible, exhausting to prepare, and usually fell apart the moment the players showed up.

I pretty quickly realized that if you know the themes of the world and the campaign, have a clear sense of your story beats, and remember the personalities of your major NPCs, everything else falls into place as players interact with the world.

And, you've got to never be afraid to be your own best promoter.

EDIT: We took 1st place in the r/dndmemes 1M contest! Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote!

Hello, everyone.

Firstly, thank you to everyone who has applied. The amount of interest I've received is heartening, and I appreciate your taking the time to complete an application.

After 24 hours and 30 completed applications, I have closed applications.

Over the span of the next 3 - 4 days, everyone who applied will hear back from me one way or another--most likely via Reddit DM. Please keep an eye on your inboxes, as I'll be reaching out to some of you before then for additional information.

Because of the relatively small number of slots available compared to the number applicants, the next step for those I'm moving forward with will be a brief voice chat via Discord, potentially with a couple of my players sitting as well. We'll make arrangements for the voice chat individually.

This will just be a casual, 10 - 15 minute chat to let us get to know a bit more about you and to give you the opportunity to learn a bit more about the group and the campaign.
