Group looking for GM Weekly Looking for Group/GM Thread

3 Upvotes

If you are not a full party looking for a gm or a gm looking for a party, you may no longer post an ad looking for a group. The reason behind this being most everyone on this subreddit is in the same exact boat as you! It is beginning to clutter up our subreddit for the people wanting to look for actual games to join.

To be clear, this rule is directed to those that are marketing themselves and/or their friends as players, saying they are looking for 1 on 1 games and any new or already running group to join. This does not include the players taking active measures to actually form a group themselves. Please comment if you do not understand the posts I am referring to.

INSTEAD! We are going to be making a stickied thread for those expressing interest in finding a group to join. We encourage you to comment within that thread and to be specific in the system you are interested in and any other information you may have to market yourself to others. A general "Hey I'm looking for a group and I wanna play a whole lot and I've had no luck!" does not suffice usually.

If you are looking for a group to join, comment in this thread with as much information as you'd like to market yourself with! Some suggestions are, but not limited to:

Discord [PBP][Masks a New Generation] [Discord] Where Once There Was: Magic

10 Upvotes

In a world where spells once weaved into the air and Myths roamed, the rot of its fall has been Ill managed, and the small team once managing what little they knew of magic has fractured.

You are being hired as apprentices and replacements to handle the problem of rotted magic, for a struggling company. It specialized in magic, but its aims to contain and study made it less popular as things took a turn for the worse.

I Am looking to run a masks game for 5 players, set in the town of Yon, some of the remains of a crashed island onto the Ohio area. There are many flashy heroes, but they don’t quite know how to handle this problem, and handling magic is a dying art.

The game will be masks a new generation, a game about young supers and high emotions, would especially love those interested in building out the world, While I want to run it for some fairytale influences, and a company squeeze box, the players and their Characters make up a lot of the game.

Discord [Starfinder 2e][Asynchronous] Blood Beyond the Stars

7 Upvotes

There are only two truths in the universe: the Blood Star, and all life beneath it. The Blood Star is a cruel, unfeeling god, an immense cathedral of bone and flesh suspended among the stars. From its distant moons flows Red Nectar, its blood, a miraculous substance that has allowed civilization to survive and evolve.

From the Blood Star are born the Beasts. They are not demons or servants of the god, but animals - vast, savage creatures driven by instinct. Some are large enough to destroy cities, others capable of wandering between worlds or devouring entire ecosystems. They do not hate life; they simply destroy whatever stands in their way.

To survive, ordinary people are transformed into Hunters, augmented with holy technology and infused with Red Nectar. They are humanity's answer to the Beasts, warriors capable of standing against creatures that would otherwise be unstoppable. But every drop of Nectar changes the body, and the line between becoming mortal-kind's greatest defender and becoming something monstrous grows thinner with every augmentation.

You are newborn Hunters, standing at a respectable Level 3 and relatively unscarred save for the augmentation you've gone through. Your mission is to investigate a Beast wreathed in shadow that has been terrorizing Sector Pi-7.

Hello all and welcome to literally sci-fi bloodborne. This idea's been rattling around in my head for a bit, wanted to advertise the game that I will be GMing. If this sounds interesting to you, feel free to apply here:

Discord Offering advice to run Pathfinder 2e play-by-Discord

5 Upvotes

I'm about to wrap up a 2.5 year long asynchronous play-by-Discord campaign of Pathfinder 2e's Season of Ghosts adventure path. I've been a DM since 1991.

For any GMs who have any questions about or need advice running Pathfinder 2e through play-by-Discord, please feel free to ask.

I'll be running the Dead God's Hand adventure and the Jewel of the Indigo Isle adventure path next. The same players who play in my Season of Ghosts game wanted to play Dead God's Hand next, so they've all signed up for that.

Please know that this isn't a promotional post for my games, which are paid through StartPlaying. I'm merely posting to help out existing GMs who have questions or need advice on running Pathfinder 2e through play-by-Discord.

Discord [Pokemon 5E][Asynch][Discord][GMT]

6 Upvotes

You want to be the very best, like no one ever was?

I’m looking to run a one shot Pokemon 5e adventure using Discord and Avrae.

The World of Pokémon is a dangerous place, full of wonderfully unique creatures and determined trainers who raise them for battle or companionship.
Headquartered in his laboratory in Pallet Town, Professor Oak gets word that an important package has arrived for him in Veridian City. Much too busy with his own work, he seeks out the help of a few up-and-coming trainers to fetch it for him.
The road to Veridian is paved with difficulties, however. Strange beasts hide in the trees and the tall grass - and an evil lurks in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to reveal itself…

I’m looking for 1-4 players who are keen to get going, happy to read some rules, and raring to throw some pokeballs. We’ll be using the D&D adjacent homebrew rules, Pokemon 5e.

If all goes well following the end of this adventure, I may be tempted to continue with a badge collecting campaign, so we’ll see how that goes.

Players will be expected to manage their own Pokemon stats and inventory accurately, but I’m more than happy to help if ever needed.

Minimum daily interactions required.

Please feel free to DM me with any interest or questions.

Discord [D&D 5e 2014] [Discord/Avrae] [Asynchronous] Lost mines of Phandelver

3 Upvotes

While provisioning in Neverwinter, a busy city in the Sword Coast, you met a joyful dwarf who was looking for a couple of extra hands to aid him in moving a cargo full of mining equipment to a nearby village. He mentions he has found something big, and needs to hurry. He pays good and you and others accept the simple job. Unknown to you, this cheerful dwarf and its straighforward task hide forgotten secrets soon to be uncovered...

hello everyone! I am a DM who had run LMoP IRL a couple of times some years ago and I got a bit nostalgic remembering it (It was my first IRL adventure as a newbie DM). I'd like to run another time, now in PBP format.

Therefore I am looking for three people who are active. I am in GTM+1 and can post multiple times a day and answer small things quickly, since I work remotely. The adventure might take a year, always depending on activity levels.

For anyone not knowing about LMoP the first paragraph should be a good summary, but here comes a more official introduction: First adventure published for 5e, it is set in the Sword Coast and begins with the group of adventurers accepting the quest from the dwarf called Grunded Rockseeker. He has found something big in a nearby mountains and is in need of mining equipment. His brothers are waiting for him and since he is in a rush, him and his personal guard will go ahead and move to Phandelver, the closests village to the final destination first. You are paied to scort the cargo with all the material from the city to this village.

Adventure starts at level 1 and any official material is more than welcomed. Again, we would be using 2014 rules.

I consider myself to be an easy going DM, open to discussion and above all, want to relive this memorable adventure with people who has been playing for years or who are new to 5e or PBP (Newbies accepted, of course).

If you are interested, fill the form here:

PAY [Discord][Asynchronous][Paid - $5/week] Looking for 2-5 players for the Dungeons & Kittens Starter Set!

0 Upvotes

Every kingdom has its ruler and it could be said—honestly—that cats aren’t lucky. King Walter is enormous, bad-tempered, unfair, stupid, and bone idle, unless it comes to plotting and intrigue. He made it to the throne by cheating and trickery, and ever since has remained in power through the help of his faithful Royal Guard, who blindly follow his every order. And to ensure that he wants for nothing, he rules by fear. Taxes are excessive and cruel, the Royal Guard is all-powerful, and juice is swift and merciless.

King Walter’s most unfair law is surely the Exile of Kittens. Under the false pretence of an initiation quest, the exile is in fact a punishment for families and a danger for every child who is sent far away.

Following a calendar that only he understands, King Walter organizes a draw (which everyone knows is rigged) in order to pick the Kittens who will be cast out. This is followed by a sham celebration, during which a quest is assigned to those Kittens. After that—good riddance! The mission given to the Kittens is to return with treasure—amazing treasure—if they want to see their loved ones again and return to reside in the relative security of the kingdom. But the instructions given by King Walter are imprecise, incomplete, and misleading.

You are one of those Kittens. Cast out from the only home you’ve ever known, you must brave the unknown, try to find the treasure, and earn your way home.

Hello! My name's Maggie, and I'm an experienced GM now offering games on StartPlaying! I'm looking for players for the Dungeons & Kittens Starter Set adventures. The game is $5/week and will take place through my private Discord server.

The game is lighthearted and fun, with no PC death at all! Since we'll be playing the Starter Set, you'll be playing a pre-generated character. If you'd like to continue adventuring after the Starter Set ends, I'd be happy to help you create your own character and keep the adventure going!

I hope to see you soon! https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmtdss7ku000gla04ut6f7m4y?ref=cmkyn1v5t00afjo04bglq6hhd

Closed Mythic Bastionland: What Remains [Discord] [Asynch] [EST] [18+]

0 Upvotes

This application is now closed!

Thanks for all who applied. I'll likely make my selections some time tomorrow so if you don't hear from me by Wednesday evening then I hope we get a chance to play together some other time!

The Seers have given you a holy quest — travel to the distant realm of Dozmarch and collect the relics of the Gravel Knight. Return the relics to the Continent so they may be interred in the Crypt of Oathbearers.

Along the way, you will honor your Oaths. Seek the Myths, Honor the Seers, Protect the Realm.

---

This is a game of Mythic Bastionland. I'm looking for 3 Knights to join a fourth.

In Mythic Bastionland you play one of 72 Knights. There is no character creation, and you will roll to select which Knight you will play and roll their stats.

Mythic Bastionland is a hexcrawl game. Your company of Knights will explore the land in search of the Gravel Knight's relics, but you will also be expected to uphold your Knightly duties to seek out the Myths — strange events that can change the shape of the realm if they come to fruition — and to see to the needs of the realm.

This game will be heavy on exploration. Narratives will emerge and play out over the course of your trekking across the land.

This is meant to be a shorter game of MB, so I will be using a 9x9 grid with 2 Myths on the board.

I'm fairly new to the system, so I ask that you be patient with me as we play!

Note: We'll be using a few of the game creator's suggested rule amendments for balancing combat.

What I'm looking for in Knights:

  1. You'll post at least once a day on weekdays and chat with us OOC. No expectations on weekends, though you're free to jump in and post if you want.
  2. You'll understand that this game is NOT going to to play like a DND5e adventure. This will be closer to an OSR-style hex crawl and exploration game, though there will be narratives that emerge as you explore.
  3. You'll be respectful of everyone else in the server and communicate if you're going to be absent for a few days.
  4. You'll lean into the Arthurian myth-inspired setting and be willing to read the player-relevant pages of the game book, of which there are only a few.
  5. You'll be within a few timezones of EST. Pretty much anyone in the Eastern Hemisphere who can communicate fluently in English will be considered.

CONTENT WARNING:

This game may see Knights battling with dangerous animals. Character death is possible.

If you have questions, please ask them below. If you're interested, please fill out the application. I'll be recruiting for the next couple of days.

Discord [Mutants & Masterminds 3e][ASYNC][DISCORD] Brand New Heroes, a game inspired by OPM

5 Upvotes

Brief Worldbuilding

Every month or so an apocalyptic interdimensional rift tears across reality forcing superheroes to come to the rescue. But before there were superheroes, there were only militaries and mercenaries forced to fend for themselves against the savage Riftborn. Cosmic monsters wanting to devour you whole. Little did they, or we for the matter, knew that the interdimensional rift unlocked latent powers within humans. Several attempts have been made to recreate the effect a rift has but each time has only resulted in the disfigured and mutated.

Who are the Players?

YOU are new superheroes! Whether you gained them dubiously or through a rift, or through inventions, you have been registered by the Superheroics United as a D-class hero, handling low-level threats. You were given room and board, and you've been adjusting to the new super-life with maybe a small fanbase.

The Plothook

One night you were relaxing normally after a long day of superheroics until you get an alert! A mid-level threat, something the city has been investigating for a few months now. A strange ooze-type monster that duplicates itself. It's not really something you can handle solo so you and some others have been gathered as a squad and sent to investigate the situation, and maybe take down this monster.

Logistics

- Discord for everything game-related.

- PL 2, with the ability to improve adding +15 Power Points each 'level up' as the book suggests.

- I don't want any minmaxing weirdness, if you have a powerset stick to it BUT if you wanna expand, the setting gives leeway to do so, as long as you run it by me first.

If this sounds interesting, feel free to apply here: https://forms.gle/pKACwZBh2ErWYXGs8

And while I am not the GM, any questions should go in the comments or in my chats.

Discussion Ran a pbp to completion, wanna share some advice for newbies!

53 Upvotes

Every so often a post comes up asking for advice on how to run games and/or keep players so after finishing one about a month ago, I thought I'd write up how I ran and completed a recent one. I have written this type of article before on this subreddit with similar advice, but it was a few years ago and I've added a little more to it.

Also, we gotta highlight the good things that can come from the format too, right?

This was a homebrew pbp Tales From the Loop game that was played asynchronously over about 6 months. 

I had three players that stayed the duration of the game and 4 PCs. One of the players is a player and GM of other systems and the other two were newbies to the format. Firstly, I have to say that the players were great at engaging with the game in and out of character. It always makes a difference to the game to have players that are active and enthusiastic. Players created art, videos, websites and even created audio narration of our story. It's the most engaged anyone has ever been with one of my games.

Good players are paramount for running a game from start to finish. Finding good players is the first hurdle and to be honest I feel as though I lucked out with finding the ones I got; they asked questions about the setting, they found natural places for themselves in the setting, they engaged with characters, they threw themselves into the role-play and they knew what the game required of them.

As for advice about finding such good players? Persistence is the key. Keep friendly with the ones you enjoy playing with and invite them to your next game. Advertise your next game for new players to add to your pool of good players. Eventually you will end up with a good group. In this case I was just lucky though and will certainly invite these players again to any future games I think they would really enjoy. I will add; be a Good Player - you will get invited to play more games without having to be vetted.

GMs, love your game. Love your setting, characters and events, even the antagonists. If you are running a published adventure, make sure you enjoy it. If you aren’t running a published adventure, design one that you’ll love running. It seems like a really obvious thing to say but it really makes a difference to how the game is presented to the players. My game is in a setting that has been growing organically over a few years with a central mystery and I brainstorm things that happen due to that central mystery. I know the NPCs, places and the dynamics between them, and I’m always excited for the players to interact with them. Really. Love your game. It all starts with this. Conversely for players; engage with the setting, talk to NPCs, be curious about what is going on. If the GM has a story to tell then let them tell it to you by being a a proactive player.

You need to talk to your players. Pbp is a temperamental beast; it can be incredibly exciting in the same way any ttrpg can be, but it can quickly get stale and boring at the drop of a hat. That is where you need to communicate. If scenes stall, or don’t seem to have a payoff, ask your players if they want to continue or skip them and move on to something more interesting. Always move on to something MORE interesting. In my game the PCs were 14 years old, went to school, had dinner with parents, and unless I felt something was worth rping, I wasn’t going to run everything for them. We did talk about how certain days played out over a paragraph if they wanted to (Characters had cheer practice, doctor’s appointments etc), but didn’t worry if things didn’t quite match what we ended up with. On the flip side, players should not be afraid to talk to the GM about the game. Be honest about things. Tell the GM if you are enjoying things or not.

We played on Discord, so I could poke players individually if they were absent for a few days. With players MIA I usually just let them go and then we make a group decision on if we want to add a new player if one is needed. For this game that wasn’t an issue as they all stayed. 

A note about starting with players or adding new players; get them into the story as soon as possible, I cannot stress this enough. Character creation should be quick, entering the game should be quick and you should get to the ‘story’ straight away. Your players want to play the game you have promised them, so get them into it so their enthusiasm can fuel the initial gameplay. A note to players; get your character ready quickly so the game can start!

In the case of this game, the kids woke up Monday morning, got ready for school separately, and by the time they were out the door the mystery had started and had stuff to talk about when they met up at school.

Which leads to; make sure they always know they have stuff to do. A story will grind to a halt if players don’t have anything to do, can't remember what they need to do, or can’t make their mind up about something. Pbp takes months and players can’t be expected to remember everything just due to the nature of the format. Make a list and add/remove from it as they go, then remind them from time to time. 

Which then leads to; make the stuff they have to do memorable. Players may come to play mid conversation, say one thing and then stop until the next day so they need to be able to remember what is going on. One example of this in my game is the antagonist called The Smiling Man. The players knew instantly that he was a Bad Guy because I made him distinctive, melodramatic, and visually icky. They knew straight away he was one of the hooks of the game. I also ran the game slightly more over the top than I would in a regular game session to keep things more energetic and easy to recall. Make things clear for the players so it can be remembered easily!

The town the PCs live in a 'Twin Peaks' inspired town, which instantly helped me set the tone of things being slightly off, and gave me license to be about 110% with my characters. One of the players noticed this and it also helped her engage with the setting.

Finally, make sure you have an ending and stick to it. Stories only mean something is there is a definite conclusion and a change in the PCs. For this game the PCs uncovered the mystery and was able to make sense (within the logic of the setting) of what was happening. They made new friends, lost new friends and found out a small part of what was happening in their town. Things didn't run any longer than they needed to and all characters had a big enough experience that they were no longer the same. We Meta-reasoned it was the end of season 1 and the studio hadn’t decided on green lighting season 2 yet. 

In reality I haven’t thought through a second mystery well enough to build on what has happened already. I’m sure something will come along eventually, and if my players want to return then all the better. If not then it’s no big deal either.

I am in no way a great GM. I made frequent mistakes with details and I’m not even that great a writer, if truth be told but these ideas have helped my games chug along. I have been running and playing pbp for coming on 10 years now and have had some epic failures in the past mostly because of a lack of motivation or a lack of love for my story. This is some of what I have learnt so far for completing games with players and wished to share it. 

Please feel free to share your thoughts too about what works for you, if my advice is contrary.

Hello everyone! So, I started my D20 Modern game with a group of four a month ago, and the players seem happy, unless they're exaggerating when they express their enthusiasm. I'm trying to advertise to start more games, including another zombie-themed game like the one I've already started.

I welcome and encourage newcomers to join my games. I've meticulously prepared visual maps for each room and floor of the 77 story tower where the players will start, allowing them to plan for barricades, looting, rationing, and so on. I use a custom program for character management, and the rest of the content is shared on a Discord channel. I'm open to my players' ideas, and I'm genuinely looking to generate income from this, so I strive to provide exceptional customer service. I'm also open to creating custom games for interested groups.

Dont be shy if you have any questions im here!

Discord Icewind Dale [LGBTQ+ friendly] [Dark themes] [3-6 players] [Asynch]

6 Upvotes

For more than two years, Icewind Dale has suffered beneath an unending winter. The sun barely rises over frozen takes, travelers disappear on the roads between the isolated settlements of Ten-Towns, and something ancient stirs beneath the endless snow.

Hey PBP friends! It’s almost spooky season and I’ve been feeling a spooky game, and what dnd game is more spooky than Icewind Dale? This would be my third time running the adventure, but I always prefer tailor my campaigns to the players I wind up with, so it’ll certainly wind up as a different experience!

If you haven’t heard of Icewind Dale before, there’s a duergar plot, an ancient magic plot, and a vindictive minor god, Queen Mab vibes plot. And I love the campaign, but it comes across as a little unfocused, as it juggles between the 3 threads. So whichever plotline all y’all want to dive into will get a lot more support; the others can go unexplored.

Sound interesting? Great! Here’s what I need from you:

- DM me with your character concept and what excites you to play them!
- Tell me something about yourself! What do you like about DnD? How long have you been playing? Doesn’t need to be anything fancy, I just believe in having a dialogue with my players before jumping into a game.
- Answer these questions about your character as it relates to the campaign: how did they end up in this backwater called the Ten-Towns? What secrets do they have which could potentially be deadly to them if discovered? And what are their goals here, short term and long term.

I look forward to hearing from you guys!

Discord [Pulp Cthulhu][Asynchronous] Island of Misery

2 Upvotes

Hello all. Rittenau here. 46F, she/her. Newbie keeper/handler wanting to run some pulp Cthulhu. Pulp Cthulhu is effectively a less deadly, but still high stakes version of Call of Cthulhu. The rules are similar enough and you'll be taking the role of heroes - some say super - fighting against cosmic horrors. Think something along the lines of Supernatural, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Stranger Things, and You're Next to name a few.

~~~

You are all heroes, or maybe heroes in the making. But all that business is currently behind you, because you're about to go on a MASSIVE HOLIDAY!!! An all expenses paid, anywhere in the world of your choice. Regardless of where you're going you've found yourselves on the same plane - Maybe you know or knew each other, maybe you don't - but the plane suddenly goes haywire.

No one knows why but engines are failing, and you're on a fast track on crashing on some unknown unexplored island. And needless to say, there are things living there. Things that were stirred awake from the crash. And you're stranded together forced to find a way to escape.

~~~

Some Requirements & extra info:

- You must be willlng to learn if you're new to the system.

- You must be able to post once a day and able to communicate when you can't.

- Tupper (a discord bot for proxying posts) is a must! It's so much easier for me to discern between IC and OOC.

- NO AI GENERATION IS ALLOWED

- Most importantly, Pulp Cthulhu is slightly heavier on the combat but I encourage players to not minmax to make every possible great move! Drama is the stepping stones of roleplay.

To apply, message me with:

- Experience with Pulp Cthulhu.

- Experience with TTRPGs in general.

- Your preferred name & pronouns.

- A little bit about yourself.

And we'll go from there!

Keep in mind my own timezone is GMT+2 so it may take a second for me to respond if we're of different timezones. If you really want me to reply faster you can dm me on rittenau on discord.

Discussion [Delta Green][Interest Check] PMC against Horrors of the World

4 Upvotes

Another interest check but this time my chats aren't closed (oops).

Instead of working for Delta Green, you work for a PMC that calls themselves the 'Agency' and they have SCP foundation-like resources and are extremely interested in studying and figuring out what makes these horrors both manmade and ""natural"" tick.

With highly specialized equipment and training, you are a squadron of 4 and your job's to either capture, neutralize, or study these things on the field while trying to maintain the Agency's anonymity. Should Delta Green discover you, baaad things are bound to happen. Namely, a war.

This is unlike a typical game of Delta Green already so I'm unsure if there'd be interest in it, either start a chat with me or comment here and I'll reach out if you are and we'll figure it out from there.

Discord Dnd 5.5e, Malandros, A world of a corrupted weave.

0 Upvotes

This is a world that I worked on for about 2 years. It's, basically my baby, and I figured I might as well throw my hat in the ring to look for players for it. The campaign would start at level 3, with no knowledge or information on the campaign itself, I would like to hear a character concept from the potential players after they had read the full overview.

The Star Children, our Gods, have all fallen silent after the Rupture war some 500 years ago. The Angels of the Celestial Gardens have retreated back to their cloudless realm. The Devils have gone back to making their deals... and, magic... has become... unstable. The creation of the Fae Courts has triggered the activation of ulfiltered magic. Magic without the assistance of a higher power. A spirit, celestial, infernal, fae, doesn't matter, without the assistance of one, the caster opens themselves up to the corruption.(Think dragon age's risks to magic)

Thats the gist of what I have written out. Although the rest is, far too long for a post. Just, message me if you are intrested. Comment even. Or just add me on discord at sh1ft3r7241. The password, is Krows.

Discord Something a little … *different* {DM in search of coven?}

3 Upvotes

Look, September is right around the corner which means ITS ALMOST FALL!! Spooky season is upon ussss!

Here’s my pitch: I’m looking for a small group (5-10 maybe?) Of literate, creative, collaborative writers who want to create something spooky and vibey together just in time for the crunch of falling leaves and the bewitching scent of pumpkins in the air\~

WHAT I DON’T HAVE IS A PLAN\~ that’s right this biotch is off the rails, we’re flying by the seat of our broomsticks! Cackling all the way. I’m not set on anything really other than I want something a little dark, a little dangerous, a chance for us all to dip our toes into the unknown, to peer into the void and have ancient, unspoken horrors peer back. There will be magic, there will be death, there will be transformation and not always the good kind.

WHAT I DO HAVE IS A TAROT CARD DECK\~ here’s the fun part. We’ll all gather, we’ll all chat over our cauldrons and come up with a very basic story/ framework/ universe to play in BUT THEN I’m going to pull a very simple tarot reading for each member and based off that reading I’ll let you create your character(if you want my help with that I absolutely would love to riff and co create characters too!! I'd love love love to even hand you the bare bones of a character and let you fill in the details, how ever comfortable you are with the give and take of creative power). I really want this to have a tabletop element to it where your character is your own but the world is mine. As the DM I’m going to interrupt, complicate, steer and bless your characters as they move through OUR story making the experience unique and engaging in a way that 1-1 RP just can’t do.

This could last until Halloween, this could go on for years, your character could die(but only with extensive collaboration and your permission!!!) or they could level up to a place you never imagined! I want us to focus more on world building than character building. If an element of the world pops up and intrigues you all you have to do is say the world and we’ll redirect to let you explore that!

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU\~ excitement, engagement, flexibility and curiosity! I’m thinking discord, I’d like for everyone to be on a similar page with style of writing, length matters less than ability to reciprocate and get along with one another. I really want us to be a community here! Please be able to commit to atleast a few replies a week. I would like(mind you we’ll see what everyone else thinks!) I would like to conclude each week as a ‘episode/ chapter’ of the story and have a kind of summery so everyone knows what other plots are happening even if they aren’t directly involved in writing them, this would mean that the ‘plots’ or scenes I give you would would need to be wrapped up at a pretty even pace and that might be something we have to decide (is an episode every week? 2 weeks? Every month?). We’ll figure all that out in time. 

If any of this has spoken to you, PLEASE hop in the DMs I’d love to talk to you more about this and we can find out if it’s the right fit for you!
