Alright guess I can run something if folks want - though I'm getting away from D&D 5E and fiddling around with other systems. 

 

 

Thank you!

 

My preference would be D&D, simply to try and make it easy for everyone to get started, but I can be convinced to learn another system, as long as it won't require me to spend any money. 

 

Also going to tag @nocoolnamejim so he can find the thread, and hopefully join us. :)

“I've always believed that failure is non-existent. What is failure? You go to the end of the season, then you lose the Super Bowl. Is that failing? To most people, maybe. But when you're picking apart why you failed, and now you're learning from that, then is that really failing? I don't think so." - Kobe Bryant, 1978-2020. Rest in peace, great warrior.

Done.

 

It's going to take me a while to get used to the idea that "going home from work" takes less than ten seconds now. :)

Since we have a respectable amount of people in Discord now, shall we move all D&D talk over there, in preparation for the campaign?

Addendum to our Supreme Deity (DM)'s thoughts.

 

Obviously he has final say and it is what it is. But these things are fluid. People come and go in campaigns. I am in no position to promise anything, because I'm a random schmuck in this thing, but chances are someone will drop out at some point.

 

No harm in "understudying" if you wanted to lurk and watch IMO. This is pure "me" speaking but I do feel a bit bad about someone who wants to play not being able to. No openings now doesn't mean no openings forever.

To Jim's point @Maggie-Miau you are welcome to join the Discord & chat, but I can't guarantee a place as teh gaming table when we start rolling there.

I've run with more than 6 and often it doesn't go well as D&D isn't designed with 7+ players and it is difficult to give that many folks proper character spot light during a session

I'm also about to run another, short 2 or 3 shot for 6 players (that I think have already expressed interest), but should we use the discord you guys have put together already as like our D&D hub with different channels for the different games? :)

 

If my one-shot goes well, I could also run another set of folks through. We'll have plenty of time. ✌️

That's because Discord invite links are only good for 1-24 hours or forever ... just a silly thing they do.
 

Here's a new shiny link - good for 10 new users

I am recruiting players for a game I am starting up, is there still interest from the folks here who didn't get in last time?

Oooo, what when were you thinking of kicking this off? My days are pretty busy with work, but I can take a look at fitting this in.

You know we really should set up a DM Academy for nerds to run their own one shots to try out DMing.
