FG licence: Ultimate
Time Zone: Central US
Availability: Weekends other than AM. May be available during week, depending on day and time.
Term: Looking for a short module not long term (explanation below)
Voice: Can use anything you would want.
Game system: D&D 5e
Game system experience: 5e, 3e, 2e, 1e(called it basic in those days) D&D.
Fantasy grounds experience: Not at all familiar, which is one of the primary reasons for the post. I have been taking FG academy classes and have an idea.
Character type preferred: I probably have a character concept I want to try for literally anything out there, so what do you need? I do have an affinity for spellcasters.

About me: I'm a player in his late 40's who first started playing what was called basic rules as a kid. I then played some 2e and 3e (very beginning) before shelving the hobby for something like 20 years (this seems to be a common story these days). Pandemic got me back into it. I know how to roleplay and I know the rules well enough; I'm not a rules lawyer and the DM controls the game. Game flow is important. I like a mix of everything - combat, social, and exploration, and don't mind if one of those pillars is dominant in a game session if it makes sense for the campaign and is engaging. I am now looking to get into DMing, but I need to learn the interface from a player's perspective because my assumption is that I will have to teach players in my game the software. Best way to learn that is to do it. I'm looking for a short adventure - something along the lines of Sunless Citadel or Dragon of Icespire Peak - which would allow me to pick up what I need to know (plus, it'd be fun). Lost Mine of Phandelver also fits, but I am in the process of learning the DM side of things by copying LMoP from D&D Beyond (where I bought it) into FG, and I probably know most of the module my memory at this point. I can play a game without metagaming but I admit it's easier when I don't have to. I have a video camera and am ok with using it. I'm very familiar with the forgotten realms setting and prefer it, but not a must have.

TL/DR: Wannabe DM wants group to play to learn FG well and have fun doing it.

Well if your interested I'm running a low level campaign where the PC are just trying to survive in an area filled with special goblins. Most likely not going to go above level 4-5 and campaign will end with the death of the Gobbo Queen.

My table meets on Thrusdays at 7pm est (so 6 cst i think) and we roll for about 3 hours. Campaign shouldn't last too long but will heavily favor combat and survival.

Sorry for not getting back to you; in short, I'd love to but my work is nuts right now (which is why I said weekends) and I'm not sure if I could consistently show up at that time. I'm also living in hotels frequently during the week and I'm not sure if that could work, even joining with a laptop through hotel internet. I'm guessing that doesn't work for you?

Indeed If there is on thing I require of my players it is consistency. I do hope you find a good group to play with. Good Luck!
