New Player - 5E

Hey, I just started an account here and I wanted to check if anyone is going to be kicking off a 5E game and is looking for a player. i have a decent amount of experience with 5E, playing in one home-group and DM'ing another but i really wanted to try out this format.

Thanks for your consideration ;)

Welcome to the gaming community. You can check out Gametavern to see new games that are starting or search through join a game.

Have a blast!

Welcome Dm_Meyner! Actually, whipstash just started a DnD 5e game, though they haven't added details on it, so I'm not sure if it's invite only or not. Regardless, there's a lot of 5e here, so I'm sure you'll find something soon!

Either way, glad to have you with us!

Welcome!

Welcome DM_Meyner, and hope you find some great 5e action!

Welcome!

Don't forget when you go to the 'Games' page, on the right side where it says 'Looking for Game', hit 'Edit' and update your game preferences. I wasn't sure what that did at first but you will get an email anytime a game of one of those types starts up. It's a really nice thing. I see every 5e game as it gets started up.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys, i sent a couple requests out but now that i'm getting more familiar with the layout i'm seeing that they are probably inactive. I just sent one over to whipstash so hopefully hes got room!

I heard great things about the site on DM's Block, can't wait to get into a game.

Welcome to the fold from a fellow Blockhead! Sounds like Keleth needs to subscribe to the DMB Patreon considering all this traffic. :P

With all the new people I'll have to check out DM's Block. YouTube series or Podcast?

Hi! DM Sam from DM's Block reporting in!

Podcast. Idea farm and discussion session of all things DM/GM. There is a D&D emphasis, but most content is pretty system agnostic.

Already found it and I'm checking out the GamersPlane episode.

Yeah it's a great show, i'm listening to the interview with Aram from Godsfall (another great Podcast) this afternoon.

Hey, welcome!

Yeah, it's got my curiosity piqued as well! :-) Anybody have the link to the episode everybody's talking about?

Gotta pay attention to the Site Discussions forum Jabes! I try to link to all mentions of GP (barring social media).

Here you go: Ep 80

Thanks! Tuning in now.

Came from listening to DM's Block too. Seems like every game I apply for I never hear back from though. Is anyone actually running any D&D 5e games?

There are a good number of games running, and quite a few still coming up. The best place to check for new games is to look for threads in the Games Tavern forum. I have to think of a new way to present games to hide games that are unlikely to get a response to. Maybe just hiding games where the GM is inactive?

That'd be a good heuristic. If th gm is inactive, the game is probably not active either.
