Scummer D&D: 5th edition

[FakeGod]

Hello, I've been considering putting together a weekly game of D&D 5th edition on roll20 with players recruited from mafiascum.

I'm thinking maybe games on weekdays after work, as my weekends are pretty busy.

Please let me know in thread if you are interested.

[ORAM]

Very interested! Weekday afternoons is good for me re: time. I would prefer to play but could DM in a pinch.

[FakeGod]

I can DM!

[DragonEater70]

I'm tentatively interested but very much anticipating I won't be able to participate due to timezones. What times (+timezone) would it be expected to run?

[FakeGod]

I live in US central time zone, and I think I woulddm maybe 7 to 10 pm or 8 to 11 pm?

[DragonEater70]

Yeah I'll be definitely asleep at those times.

[Mitillos]

So, time zones would also make it hard for me to always participate, but I could be an occasional

table

player or spectator.

Edit: Also, consider asking in the discord server, if you're in it.

[Gypyx]

i would not be able to make it at these hours but if there's enough interest maybe an EU group would be cool?

[DragonEater70]

It would!

[FakeGod]

I found players elsewhere so I think I'm good

[halfasleep]

i'd also be potentially interested in an EU group. i wonder if there's a case for a general TTRPG group-finding thread. i feel like there could be non-insignificant overlap between folks who want to play forum mafia and folks who wish they had people to play rpgs with.

You could open one!

And yeah, pretty sure there's quite an overlap because basically every single person on this site who I've asked either plays or wants to play.

maybe Mitillos

sounds like we got something here?

[DragonEater70]

Sounds like it

But do we have a DM?

[Mitillos]

Please note that I'm more interested if we're doing 3.5e.

And yeah, as DragonEater asked, is anyone interested in DMing?

[KayJayQueue]

Can an American with a terrible sleep schedule pretend they’re EU?

[Mitillos]

Don't see why not.

[halfasleep]

i'd be happy to

play

5e but if i was gonna be the one running/facilitating games i'd probably want to pick other stuff. my thought is we could start out playing a couple of short-form or single-session games, like fiasco or similar kinda stuff, so we have a chance to get a feel for the group, that technical setup and other stuff i'd wanna have a better handle on before i started prepping something more ambitious (in particular i need to know if my home internet is actually up to this lol). but if folks are okay with that i can start getting things ready and i'll post (probably a new thread like i was talking about above) when i'm ready to go.

[Gypyx]

I always wanted to DM but i get very stressed out doing it so idk if it's a good call

[DragonEater70]

Dunno what fiasco is. I would be excited to play something like Exalted (never played) or World of Darkness (played once). Or just D&D.

I think for most systems you can use roll20 which should work fine probably for your home internet unless you live in the middle of nowhere.

[Mitillos]

So, to put everything together:

Gypyx: Wants to DM but gets stressed about it.
halfasleep: Would run non-d&d games, at least for a while.
DragonEater: Not DMing, would play a few different systems.
Thomith: No info yet.
KayJayQueue: Might invade from the US.

I suppose I can also offer to run a d&d 3.5e game, since I brought the system up already, as a backup option.

Additional thoughts from everyone?

[DragonEater70]

Oh I'm not really against DMing. I have never DM'd before so if I do DM it would probably be a one shot 5e adventure for the sake of not getting complicated.

Fiasco.

anyway i'm basically down to try anything that's been suggested in the thread. i'm only gonna be picky if i'm the one running stuff lol.

Gypyx, Thomith, KayJayQueue (and anyone else interested): Additional thoughts?
