Hello!

I am curious as to whether there'd be anyone interested in playing in an RPG one-shot /maybe a campaign.

For those who don't know, tabletop RPGs are games where each of the players take on the role of a character, deciding its actions, words, history and motivations. The actions' success is decided (most commonly) with dice rolls. The players tackle the obstacles and add breathe life into the adventure the Game Master throws their way; but often times the story is entirely in the hands of the players, with the Game Master providing clues and rewards for the adventuring party.



As to some technicalities:

1. The particular systems I have in mind are D&D 5e, Dungeon World or, tentatively, Pokemon Tabletop United. Starting these games requires some preparation on the players' side, but I would provide all the necessary links via palpad/PM.

2. I am absolutely fine with being the DM/GM and leading the game for you, and I don't mind newbies at all. Newbies tend to be the best players anyway! If there is anyone that would be interested in taking over the role of the GM, I am fine with that as well.

3. For the Pokemon game, there would be no age restriction. May include mild violence (Pokemon battles).
For D&D or DW, the restriction would be 13+. The systems include combat, there will be moderate violence.

4. The game would be text based (although if the majority preferred to use voice, I can do it), and as much as it's NOT like a forum roleplay, where literacy means writing 5+ paragraphs per post, I would strongly prefer if you could write reasonably well:

- Capitalize when you're supposed to.
- Don't use chat speak.
- Be able to write at least one full, descriptive sentence. No, "I pick up my sword and stab the monster" or "Ash tells Pikachu to use Thunder" are not descriptive, thank you.
- Your grammar and spelling don't have to be perfect, but they have to be comprehensive.
- Think fast, RPGs are meant to be played in real time. You can't take 5 minutes writing a single sentence!

5. The game would be held off-site! The site I have in mind requires registration, and it cannot be accessed properly from mobile devices, so please keep that in mind.


I am basically looking for a group of 3 - 6 people.



Beyond that, you can ask any questions you want, I'll be happy to answer.
