Hello all,
Online I go by Nemo. I am likely here for similar reasons many of you are (may have skimmed over other introductions). I love D&D, but I just don't get enough it as a working adult playing with other working adults as we're lucky if we can two 2-3 hour sessions in a month. Over the holidays it has been especially tough as all we've had is the Christmas themed one-shot I ran this last Saturday.
I've been into D&D for a relatively short amount of time as I am among the many who were enticed by Critical Role. I jumped into a few campaigns that didn't work out before deciding that I'll just DM for the players who have been consistent. Being the genius that I am I decided my first DM experience should be entirely homebrewed. Eventually two of those members became increasingly flakey so I started a Curse of Strahd group with my wife, two of my co-workers, and a guy we met in our first D&D group who has never missed a session. When I started grad school I had to put Strahd on the back burner, but one of my players kept the group alive by starting up Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden where I played a bard. Now that I'm done and have time to DM again we also have a fun problem of we have two campaigns with the exact same players and not enough time to play them (womp womp).
Recently I began thinking about my first roleplay experience which was World of Warcraft in game and in the forums, which made me wonder if there was a way to play D&D in a forum like environment. I figured I wasn't the first person to think of this so a few google searches later I ended up on a YouTube video that referenced this site. My goal here is to experience a game, see how its done in such an asynchronous manner, and start a campaign with my main group of players through discord to help scratch that D&D itch over the weeks between sessions of our main campaign.
I look forward to my time here!
