Hello everyone and welcome to this thread! All are certainly welcome, but there is a particular group of people who might be most interested in what I have to offer.
If you are a fan of Critical Role and have been inspired by those wonderful people, then we have something in common! Perhaps you were already drawn to creative fields like theater, writing, or voice acting. Perhaps you had heard of D&D but weren't quite sure what it is all about and what it could be. But Critical Role, or shows like it, have opened your eyes to a wonderful world of creativity and communal story-telling. You now find yourself curious about the world of D&D and all the possibilities that await.
I too sat on the fringes for a while. I was first exposed to D&D fully by watching the Heroes and Halfwits series by Achievement Hunter. From there, I eventually heard about Critical Role. I quickly became enthralled by what I saw. The fun, the voice acting, the great story-telling and role-playing by everyone, and at the center of it all, Matthew Mercer tying all these threads together and pushing forward a narrative that kept players and audiences engrossed for years. I'm no Matthew Mercer, but he is my North Star. Now I'm constantly creating characters and backstories. I'm constantly thinking of encounters that could be interesting for players. And I'm fascinated with the Gordian Knot that is creating an evocative story that the player's are motivated to partake in.
I need to create. Perhaps you're the same way. If so, I'd like to build a community together. A group of creators who can come together and tell a story through D&D.
Here's the nitty gritty, I want to be a DM for a group of creative people, But I need your help to do it. My financial situation is "looking rough" as Mr. Mercer might say, but I'll manage. All I ask from the group are purchases that benefit the group. Things that help me get started as a DM.
I have the PHB, DMG, Monster Manual, Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, Xanathar's, Volo's, and Mordenkainen's on DnDBeyond. We can use that for character creation and campaign management since I can share my content to you when I host the campaign. We'd still need a table-top, for which I'd like to use Fantasy Grounds. However, I own none of these on Fantasy Grounds. To get the most out of Fantasy Ground's features, I want for you to be able to effortlessly drag and drop what you want from the books into your sheets so that everything can be automated and we can focus on the fun part. To that end, I'd need to be able to purchase, again, the core rule books on Fantasy Grounds.
Also, I have a decent microphone right now, but it's prone to cutting out mid sentence which tends to knacker dramatic tension and my efforts to describe the situation to you and your characters. I'd like to get at least a Snowball iCE so that I can be heard clearly and consistently.
Finally, to get us started, I'd like to purchase a physical copy of the D&D Starter set, as well as the Lost Mines of Phandelver module on FG to run as our first adventure.
Depending on how everything goes, and if you all enjoy it, I'm interested in the future in running Storm King's and or Curse of Strahd as well as Waterdeep when it releases.
As for my DMing chops, I've been playing since February and have DMed on three occasions as well as co-DMed. My player's have seemed to enjoy it and I've been called a great DM by...three separate people now I believe. They say they loved my dedication to the worlds and experiences I created and that they enjoyed my narration.
From you I would also ask,
Age: Be 19 years or older. I myself am 23.
Timezone: Post in UTC. I am EDT [-4], and would prefer to have no greater than a 3 hour time difference.

I want to present a canvas for you to tell your stories and the stories of your characters. You are the stars, but I will also tease out your motivations, ideals, and flaws. I want this to be a dramatic journey for all involved.
Thanks for reading!
