Looking for people who haven't had a chance to play D&D 5e and are interested in the game. I am looking for 4-6 people who might be interested in running a pre built campaign Lost mines of phandelver. It is a short campaign to get people into D&D and help them understand how the game is played ect. I am open on pretty much every day but sunday.

​I am the DM, I have been a DM for 4-5 years now. I am not Matt Mercer lol so do not expect that type of game. Each session will be 3-4 hours long and you will go from lvl 1 to lvl 5. This game should take roughly 3 1/2 months meeting weekly for the set amount of time soooo around 12-16 sessions.

​Again I am looking for newer players who haven't had a chance to really play to help them get into the game. IT IS A INTEREST CHECK so if you want post a reply or send me a PM. we will be using discord.
​ I do not need character back stories or anything save that for if we launch the game. But I would like you to put-

​1. How many players you are. I.E. I have 2 friends that want to play with me.
​2. age
​3. interest in D&D. People who are not really interested tend to drop from games. and once a game is more than 1/3rd the way through its near impossible to recruit replacements.
​4. pick 2 classes you would be interested in playing. sublasses aren't needed I just need to know palladin, fighter. warlock, ranger. wizard, cleric so on so forth.
​5. WHAT DAY AND TIMES YOU ARE AVAILABLE!!!.
​6. do you have any D&D experience?

1) 1
2) 42
3) I love D&D though I haven't played in quite some time.
4) I have been wanting to play a Divine Sorceror, maybe with first level in fighter. Otherwise maybe a wizard.
5) I am available any time on Saturdays. I could also do Sundays, but looks like that is the one you can't make.
6) I have played a lot of D&D 2nd edition, but it has been a long time. I recently picked up a 5E PHB

I work a semi high-stress job through the week, so am looking for a group I can chill with and have a fun time. I get along with most people, but if it turns out some of the players are nasty I will let the DM know and drop. Otherwise you can count on me to reliably show up, be friendly and be on time.

Edit: fixed typos

1) 1
2) 45
3) Played D&D for years, but stopped shortly after 4e came out.
4) Bards, or any magic users are my goto... but I can play anything
5) Primarily nights (5-midnight PST)
6) Played the Gygax pamphlets, the 1e red box, 2nd, and ALOT of 3 and 3.5. Learning the ins and outs for fantasy grounds currently have the PHB, DMG, and Tales from teh Sword Coast. Played mostly in Forgotten Realms

My history is in heavy RolePlay games with fewer pre made adventures. I tend to not be a war leader for any party I am in but will actively try to make encounters with non killy npc's fun and useful. I work a random schedule so there may be times I have to bail on a night because the gods forsaken computer the generates my schedule decides to turn against me.

Not entirely sure what timezone you're aiming for here but here goes :)

​1. 1
​2. 26
​3. High - I've been looking for a group for ages. However, with not that much of luck - managed to get a couple started but they just never went anywhere beyond 1-2 sessions. Love RPGs in general, and have done some mmo RP with adapted dice rules (though they were either homebrew rules or adapted from different tabletops)
​4. Ranger, Monk... I'm generally very open on what the overall group setup needs.
​5. Weekdays from 6pm GMT on most days. Weekends, anytime during the day (GMT+0)
​6. Only about 3 sessions of, and as much as listening to a singular podcast gives you

Hi, i just purchased fantasy grounds and am interested in giving it a try. I'm a old school d&d player, early 40's. I like playing a variety of classes, but prefer fighter / rogue roles. I was very active when 2.0 was around, and have 0 experience with 5e. I'm also semi-retired , so any time slot can be arranged.

1. 1
2. 42
3. I am interested. (I'm an avid Critical Role watcher, Im on episode 77 of season 1, and caught up on season 2)
4. Fighter , Bard (I could be talked into rogue, ranger or Paladin)
5. Cant do Monday evening, Tuesday evening, Sunday or Saturday morning. Any other day/time I can work with. (not really a morning person tho.)
6. Have played many tabletop games, Savage worlds, Rifts, a little pathfinder. But havn't found a D&D game to play in started one but it fell apart. Have not played on FG I just bought it on sale. I have had the 5E book for along time. Ive also watched a lot of Crit role like I said earlier so familiarity wont be a problem but i will have to get used to FG.

1. Just me
​2. 25
​3. interest in D&D. I'm pretty interested. I've bought the PHB and read it all except the spell lists. I don't know if I can handle super long sessions, because I've never done this before.
4. Rogue, and Druid are the classes I'm most interested in.
​5. I'm on disability so I basically have all the time in the world, the only problem is when I take my medication I get drowsy so if it stretches really late I might have a problem. I'm CST which I think is GMT+5 I don't know much about GMT or how to tell time using it.
​6. Do you have any D&D experience? Never played. I've created a character on a character sheet following a guide. I've read the books and have loved the monster book since I was a kid, but I've only watched a few shows. I've browsed a Web DM's channel on youtube. I've seen most of Acquisitions Inc. Harmon Quest, and very little of Critical Role.

I used to play d&d 3.5 about ten years ago and I really want to get back into it, I’m easy to work around any time, I’d like to play either a paladin or barbarian or even have a go at a cleric if the party needs the heals

2. 53
3. I enjoy D&D and have played 1st Edition through 3.5.
4. I'd be interested in playing a cleric or rogue.
5. Evenings after 6pm Eastern any day works well for me.
6. Have been playing D&D and other RPGs since 1979. Been a player and DM for 1st & 2nd editions as well as 3.5. I'm new to 5th edition but I'm picking it up. I'm new to FG. Have the standard paid license. Looking forward to actually using FG in an actual game.

1. Me and 2 others
2. 41, 35, 33
3. All have been part of a pretty constant weekly group now, DM would just rather play and some other players are not as consistent.
4. Any class, prefer fighter, cleric(or other healer type), bard, monk. But all 2 players can do any class well
5. Thursday nights around 8pm CST
6. All have been playing 5e for some time. only the DM has played LMOP but can just play support if needed, completely understands meta-gaming. So wouldn't be just new players but would be experience in how the game runs to support other new players in the game and on FG.
