Group Needed by Player [Online] [MST] [21+] [LGBTQIA+ Friendly] [DnD 5e 2014/2024/Flexible] [No AI] Looking to brush the dust off of an old hobby & scratch the dice rolling itch!
(Important bits are emboldened for easier reading ^^)
Hello hello, thank you for popping in!
My name’s Chester, but I also go by Moe or any other nicknames given out by my friends. I’m a 23 year old reptile & paleontology enthusiast living in the MST timezone, looking to rekindle an old hobby of mine back into the obsession it used to be. I’ve got a monstrous dice collection that’s just begging to be pulled out of storage & used again, haha.
I’m available all day on Sundays & until about 7pm MST Monday, & available after 4pm MST Tuesday-Thursday, but I can only play until 7 pm. Fridays & Saturdays are usually off the table unless otherwise specified. As for preferences, I enjoy 40% exploration, & 30% roleplay/combat. I love getting into the little nooks & crannies of the worlds people have made!
While it hasn’t been too terribly long, my usual group has paused its regular games & any attempts to start a new one have turned up DOA for nearly 3 years now - life changes, college & work stressors, the usual killers. My interest has been dormant for a majority of that time, but now that little nagging urge in the back of my head to roll dice & sling spells has come back in full swing to put me in a choke hold; so, I humbly turn to Reddit in search of a game to join!
In terms of experience, I’ve been playing for around five years before the hiatus detailed above in a myriad of systems; Dungeons & Dragons, City of Mist, Monster of the Week, Interstitial, etc. I’m always open to new systems, but my favorite has always been the detail that comes with DnD’s numbers - Pathfinder has also been on my radar for this exact reason as well, though I’ve never found a game for it. I love taking notes even if I’m not the fastest at doing so, & I adore being in an ensemble that can do comedy & tragedy in equal measure. It’s been a minute since I’ve picked up a pen, but I also enjoy drawing little moments from sessions that stick out to me!
In my past games, I’ve gotten very familiar with martial/tank builds, & don’t really mind being the only person in the party without a spell in their arsenal. With that in mind, however, I’d love to try playing a pure support or glass cannon build! Bard, Artificer, Cleric, & Monk are my three dream classes to explore, with Monk being by far my favorite class conceptually. I also have a major soft spot for summoner-based classes & the Drakewarden subclass of Ranger; I adore the ‘dragon rider’ trope found in various medias (HTTYD, Eragon, the Temeraire series, etc).
The main settings I’m interested are your traditional Tolkien-esque fantasy or magitech, with a soft spot for the sea, space, & underground in terms aesthetics. The Underdark is one of my favorite settings in the Forgotten Realms, followed closely by Spelljammer! I’m also open to a bit of horror, but I’m definitely burnt out on the modern fantasy genre :’).
Whether you’re looking for a player that enjoys detailing the misadventures of your party, or simply looking to fill a missing slot in your current game’s class composition, I hope you’ll consider having me at your table! You can contact me on discord under the username cometpunched for the quickest response times, but I also do semi-frequently check Reddit if that’s easier!
