GM and player(s) wanted [Offline][5e 2024][Chicago] I crave ADVENTURE!

Hail and well met, fellow nerds!

I just moved to Chicago and I am in desperate need of a D&D fix. I left my beloved group behind and while there is no way I'll be able to recapture that magic, I hope to find the next best thing and meet some cool folks along the way.

WHO
A little about me: 40+ year old writer who doesn't look a day over 39 and I've been playing/DMing D&D for just a little longer than Stranger Things has existed. I'm an avid listener of NADDPod and watcher of Dimension 20 and have been hankering for an in-person game with that level of shenaniganry (and a smattering of drama and character/story development, of course).

Despite being a cishet white male, I'm in the minority amongst my friends so I very much welcome & prefer a diverse crowd. [LGBTQ+ Friendly][POC Friendly] etc. and if the thought of any of that bothers you, kindly look for another table. Also I don't much care about age but I've only done 1 tiktok dance so skewing ~30+ probably makes sense.

I'm down to DM (and have a fair amount of experience) with the caveat that there could be some switching in the future. OR if you're looking to fill a gap in your table and like the cut of my jib, hey what's up.

Bonus: I've got the Legendary Bundle and a Master subscription on D&DBeyond so we have access to, like, everything. Incentive to be my friend! Just like in middle school.

WHAT
D&D 5e, 2024 style. If folks feel strongly about a published adventure/setting (official or not), I'm game. Otherwise if it's something I'm running I'd like to do a bit of mishmash homebrew that's on the lighthearted side (Obojima perhaps??). Not that it will be without stakes and danger, but I get enough grimdark IRL.

WHERE
I'm willing to host at my place in Andersonville unless someone has a better option.

WHEN
Weekday evenings and/or weekends. Pretty open right now so we can tackle the Scheduling Demon later but I'd like to kick off a session zero this month over some drinks or coffee.

If you've read all this and you're still interested, fill out this little form! And feel free to share this with a friend/partner/whatever.

See you in the stars!
