I’ve been playing since 1st edition since the early 80s. I am a DM and a player. If I run something, I prefer my homebrew campaign. It’s inspired by some video games I love. Fallout and Horizon Zero Dawn. It’s a post-apocalyptic world, with a viking-esque culture. Pockets of magical energy cover areas of the world, killinging or transforming life. There are ruins of an ancient culture, mostly underground. The society is fiercely anti-magic. For example there is one group whose purpose is to hunt down and kill those who use it (or were born with magical abilities.

There’s custom rules, races and classes. It’s 5e ready. Been working on it since 2020 lockdowns. It’s brutal and death is always possible. Players who discover new races/classes can roll new characters as those if their current char dies. New chars are the last char’s level -2. You could be a twisted one (aka ghoul from fallout) or a magic hunter, for example.

I prefer a play by post, all text method using Discord, AboveVTT and Beyond D&D. With this method, each player makes one action post each day and we progress after every player has made their input. This is done in a 24 hour cycle, so basically you play every day for a short time that works for you instead of once a week at a specific time. If you skip a day, you do nothing that turn. It’s a slow game style. Not for everyone.

Im US on the East Coast. Also open to playing any game through Beyond D&D, as I’ve become comfortable with it.
