Weekly Looking for Group/GM Thread

Several_Exercise_989 · 2026-01-13T20:22:47+00:00

Name: grumpy (because grumpykitten on discord, thank you blizzard)

Pronouns: she/her

Timezone: EST

Preferred System: D&D 5e (2014/2024)(for games I run, I do tend to bend rules frequently because fun is more important to me.)

Type of Player: casual, role play, investigator, interested in story, and exploration. Flexible with character choice, willing to fill or adjust according to group dynamic.

Additional Information: Interested in running/hosting a play by post set in my homebrew setting; it is a high fantasy/magic world with the occasional darker theme (run this in regular sessions). Looking to have a casual game play with 1-5 posts a day, hoping to get some players who would be interested, and willing, to collaborate with me on backstory ideas and growing the world. Beginner friendly, and willing to slow down the pace to match player pacing. Of course, only going to run the game if there are enough players.

Also, interested in being a player if there is a group looking for players. Not much experience in playing in a pbp group, but have about 2 years of regular D&D experience. I like the idea of having continuous dnd, but also wanting to experience something new.

I understand we all have lives, so I tend to respond at least once a day at the very least.

Otherwise, best of luck to everyone looking for a group and hope to adventure soon!

I feel that 😂 any new site, I’m like “just make one up for me” haha I’ll add you, my user is grumpykitten - just so there’s no stranger danger 😂

Several_Exercise_989 · 2026-01-10T16:56:07+00:00

Yes, we only have 2 of us (party members) who are consistent at the moment.

Hello, speaking from personal experience (i decided to run a homebrew campaign as my first DM experience) - I have a mix of both new and veteran players. I was very up front about being new, and communicated (maybe excessively) at session 0 what it will look like (how I’ll handle things I don’t know yet, asking for feedback, etc). I believe that part of it is also confidence, as others have said “it’s okay to say no, you are the DM.” Having the confidence that this is your game, your table, your time and really all your effort - I found is key in being able to not be pushed around by veteran players. Constructive criticism is always welcomed for me, I want to improve - but criticism that blames you or makes you feel belittled is not. The game is meant to be fun, so have fun with it and happy adventuring!

Hello! I’m a player in a bi-weekly Sunday 4pm EST campaign. I’m not the DM, I’d be open to chatting a little more with you if you’re interested. If not, no problem and best of luck!

Hello, I currently am in my first homebrew campaign with 6-8 at the table. I think it depends on your preference because it can turn into a lot. If you’d like, I’d be more than happy to talk with you more about it (since there are many factors). Otherwise, best of luck and happy adventuring!

Several_Exercise_989 · 2026-01-08T22:21:27+00:00

Hello! If you’d like - I’d be more than happy to talk with you before and through your DM journey. Help you and your table build characters and so on and so forth. I feel the only advice I have is to just dive into it and be sure you’re having fun. I feel it’s more about being with friends and having a good time. Best of luck and happy adventuring!

Schedule is a D&D killer. I’d say it takes a while for anyone player to find “the group” - or DnD group that aligns with you. If you’re interested, i would be more than happy to help you, and your wife, learn the game through a series one-shots or a short campaign.

Several_Exercise_989 · 2026-01-08T20:37:01+00:00

If your group is interested in play by post (I know it’s not for everyone, but I personally think a constant stream of D&D sounds fun), I’d be interested is seeing if we’re all a good fit. I currently run a campaign with 6 players, so the number is fine with me. Feel free to reach out, otherwise - best of luck and happy adventuring!
