Hello!
I'm a novice player looking for a group. I can build a character and play the game just fine, but I'm still learning and will have questions. I'm open to DND 5E or your homebrew game (I'll need time to learn it, and I will probably have lots of questions).
I'm currently free every night except Tuesday. I'm open to 1-shots, short campaign, or long campaign (fresh start or mid-join up to level 5). I'm in PST, so I can join anything from PST to EST.
I enjoy campaigns with some sandbox, but with a defined goal or mission. I enjoy DMs that can paint a picture in my mind. (These are not deal-breakers.)
I don't like DMs who charge through areas, or give us too much information: "If you were to look in that well, you'd see..." or "Are you going to check out this (unassuming) wall over here?" (Also not deal-breakers, but I will probably not start another campaign).
Bonus points:
- Zombies / Zombie homebrew
- PVP stat checks, but not PVP combat (when it's tasteful and not abused)
- Good improv and fun people
Deal-breakers:
- Unfair screen time or players controlling the campaign
- Extreme themes (Rape, slavery, child murder/abuse)
- Sex RP (I'm ok with PDA, romance, touching, etc. I'm not here for horny)
- Inconsistent playtimes and/or Frequent missed sessions (I'm totally fine with adjusting by 1 hour before or after, I'd rather do that than cancel or shorten a session. I also understand that life happens, and each person has their reasons for missing a session. I don't like when we miss 4-6 weeks in a row because 1 or 2 people have stuff going on every session. I have a hard time catching up and getting back in character when that much time passes.)
I'm also open to niche themes:
- Anthro / furry (or anything in-between)
- Anime
- Cyberpunk
- etc.
I have noticed the high level of political memes and threads and don't care for it. I didn't understand why they were so common, I thought we were all trying to get away from politics.
I will try a different instance and report back.
