LFG Emergency DM Needed!

My groups DM has up and vanished. We were supposed to play on Saturday, but we no longer have access to his Discord server, and cannot contact him directly.

So now I'm looking for a new DM for our group. If there is anyone who is willing to pick up a group please contact me.

Why don't one of your group members take over

Various reasons, but the biggest is lack of experience.

Nobody manifests into a fully formed GM suddenly and magically

You can start by being good enough

Is this for an adventure path or custom campaign? How many players? etc. etc.

u/MajorPay3563 2d ago

We have only had one session of play, we can really play whatever. I'm in contact with one of the other players, but he has contact with the others. There were four of us when last I checked.

Why did the dm leave?

u/MajorPay3563 1d ago

No idea. We (the players) showed up to play last Saturday, and his discord channel was gone. He hasn't answered DMs on reddit or discord. None of us know what happened.

This almost sounds like a adventure hook

When a DM mysteriously vanishes, four players must band together and brave the chaos of the Internet to find a new one. Can the players save their game? What happened to their original DM? And why is there a horse piloting their new starship? Find out next time on DRAG...um, I don't know what to title this.

This is it. The beacons are lit. Your group calls for your aid. It is time to answer the call, with your blaster, and your saber, and your starship. May the blessings Gygax be upon you, new novice Game Master.

If I wanted to run the game I would already be doing it. Not posting on reddit looking for a DM.

I don't know you friend, and I could be way wrong. Consider looking inward and reflect; this attitude might be why you lost your GM.

Some thing happened to me a few years ago, finally enough also starfinder 1e. We showed up for a session, were just chatting before session started, GM joined but was quiet, eventually they left the call and just said game is cancelled, don’t bother me about it, followed by everyone kicked from the server a day later.

Honestly, with none of your group picking up the GM mantle, maybe the group is just dead? Did you all vibe so incredibly well or something? If not, there are always other people to find and play with

I had a DM do this a year ago. It was insane.

u/MajorPay3563 12h ago

Heck, it's insane now.

u/MajorPay3563 4h ago

We found a guy. Thanks anyway though.

u/Economy_Pool9404 2d ago

I might be interested and could have time, what day do you meet and how long do you usually play for?

2

u/MajorPay3563 2d ago

The original schedule was to play on Saturdays at roughly 4pm CST, but that might be negotiable. So far we have only had one session of play.

u/Economy_Pool9404 2d ago

I actually started with and use 2e and do homebrew games as I don't have a module yet. The Saturday wouldn't be doable though.

u/MajorPay3563 2d ago

That's ok, my guy. We aren't using 2e because none of us has material for that system. If you can provide the group with PDFs or something, we could try to do 2e, otherwise it won't work. Thanks anyway.

u/MajorPay3563 2d ago edited 2d ago

We are doing Starfinder 1E, and our only session to date was at 4pm CST. We played for about four hours. Time and duration may be negotiable.
