Seeking a DM

[Endarire]

Greetings, all!

I'd like to play a very specific character for D&D 3.5, but not by post. Y'all seem to have the skills to handle this request.

The character is here, and, in short, is a Gray Elf Telepath/Mindbender who grows up to be the leader of his very own swap-in party, akin to Chrono Trigger or Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

This build inspired me to jokingly call it "Spreadsheet Wars," due to the large number of materials I prepared just in this planning stage, and how much I may need to run this 'party.'

Any takers for GMing a 'solo' campaign or one with few other party members?

Remember, Roll20 and Skype exist! I really don't want to do play-by-post due to the tremendous sluggishness of this game format

Hello There GM/DMs We are needing a Master for our Game, We would be willing to us just about any system, but some have asked to not use a D20 based one. We all hope to play in the Fallout Universe, here is our Thread.

Howdy, prospective GMs. I'm seeking one for this adventure on the high seas! (Skull and Shackles)

EDIT:
ATTENTION! To Whom it may concern, we are still searching for a a GM. All the players are present and want YOU to run our game! Visit the link below for more details!

Hi there, all interested DMs!
We have a prospective 5th Edition group here in great need of a game master, 2 are new to RPGs, the other two (myself included) have more experience under our belts. If needed, I can help the team out as well with any question 5e related!

The idea is that one way or another, each one in our party wound up in jail. Now either we would look for means to break out of prison, or perhaps a shady opportunity or fateful event would knock at our cellblock, giving us a chance at earning our freedom. alternatively, we might already have busted out, and would have to struggle to earn a name better than "criminals" while running from the law. It's really up for our DM to decide what to do, but those are our ideas, and we'd love a DM to help us get more people into the hobby!

Contact me if you're interested, or reply to the link above!

Complete newbie looking to learn the ropes! Yea, I haven't played any tabletops before, though I've been in freeform roleplaying for a while.

I suppose I'll be spending most of the time figuring out the mechanics of whatever system we use.

I'm more used to hack and slash video games, if you want to know my style.

I don't have any physical books, so I have to rely on free online sources for rules.

Easy systems such as Dungeon World or DnD 5e would be nice.

Im going to post this here as well as in the recruiting thread...
Twice in the past month, a PC concept of mine has failed to make it into a game, and the thing is, I like the backstory and the character concept, so I am looking for a game to play her in. This the story:

Spoiler: Backstory

Show

Zarabeth started her life as an exotic dancer; however unlike all of the pampered and defenseless girls of the “trade”, she was more than willing to defend herself, as any of her clients found out when they tried to take unwanted liberties with her. She kept at least one dagger hidden in each one of her boots, and even had taken martial arts training, making her dangerous even in unarmed combat.

Spoiler

“Are you free for a dance?”
Zarabeth did not even have to turn to know who was talking to her. That nasally tone of voice could belong to no one else but Kravchuk, a small time local merchant who had recently become smitten with her. He tipped poorly, his hands were far too frisky, and he went on and on about how poorly his wife treated him, how corrupt the local police and council were, and in general how bad his life was. All in that voice that Zarabeth had learned to despise.
“Actually, my shift is just ended, Kravy”, she replied. “I’d dance for you, really I would, but Petrus, his rules are very strict about that, I can’t take another appointment right now. It’s not fair to the girls who are just starting their shift. Come back tomorrow, I’m starting just after supper.”
Zarabeth turned to walk out of the club, hoping against hope that she was rid of him. Luck was not with her on this night, however.
“Can I at least walk you home?” he was practically begging. “The streets aren’t safe, even this early in the evening and I wouldn’t want you to come to some harm.”
Zarabeth sighed inwardly, rolling her eyes as her back was to him. Kravchuk was so ineffective with that ceremonial dagger he was so proud of, she was likely far more able to defend herself than he was.
“Fine” she sighed. “But just as far as my door, Kravy. You know I don’t date outside the club.”
Kravchuk was practically beaming as she turned to face him. Already she was regretting her decision, she would have to listen to his voice for at least half an hour, and the look on his face told her he was up to no good.
Zarabeth walked in silence, only half listening to Kravchuk alternately complaining about some new apple tax that the council was planning to adopt and how the new constable on patrol in his shop’s area was taking so much more in “protection” money from him. Zarabeth half hoped that the drain on Kravchuk’s money would somehow reduce the number of visits he would make to the club, but doubted she would be that lucky.
As they turned down the side alley that lead to her apartment, Zarabeth felt the grab on her arm that she had expected would be coming.
“I want you, Zarabeth” he said as he dragged her to his body. “More than you can ever know.”
Zarabeth twisted easily out of his grasp, “I should have known there was more to this than chivalry” she replied. “Get out of my sight, and don’t come slinking around the club looking for me anymore”
Kravchuk merely laughed as he brandished his dagger, clearly thinking she would surrender to save her skin. Zarabeth would have laughed in return at his clumsy lack of skill, but resisted the urge, hoping that this could end without bloodshed. She produced her own dagger, seemingly out of nowhere and leveled it at him. “Don’t make that mistake” she warned, “Turn around now, and I’ll forget this ever happened.”
“You think you can take me?” he boasted, “I’m going to enjoy this almost as much as I will when I take you, right here and now.” He rushed forward, hoping to take her down by his bulk alone.
With a deft move, Zarabeth sidestepped him easily, and for good measure, gave him a slice down the forearm, hoping that the warning shot would cool his attitude. Instead, it seemed only enrage him, and he turned on her, attempting to grapple her to the ground. Zarabeth struggled, trying to get free, but he somehow managed to keep a grip on her, tugging at her clothes and trying to knock the dagger from her grasp. Zarabeth finally twisted free and took a step back, with an oath “Don’t force me to kill you Kravchuk, because I will, I swear it.”
Kravchuk replied with a snarl, rushing forward with his dagger in hand. Zarabeth tried to dodge again, but he was on her too quickly. Without thinking, she thrust her own dagger, hoping just to keep him at bay. There was a sudden warm wetness on her hand, and Kravchuk’s face suddenly took on an ashen look, mixed with pain. Zarabeth stepped back with a shocked look on her face, and Kravchuk slipped to the ground, clutching at his chest. With a shock, Zarabeth suddenly realized that her life had changed forever.

Unfortunately, one of her more insistent clients eventually would not take “no” or her warnings for an answer, and in a protracted dispute one night outside the club, Zarabeth had ended up having to kill him after he attempted to assault her. Knowing that the word of a dancer would not be believed in any court, she had to leave town, and quickly.

Zarabeth knew she had to act quickly. There wouldn’t even be time for her to return to her apartment, nor could she risk being seen with blood on her hands and clothes. The patrols would find Kravchuk’s body in short order, and there would be plenty of witnesses who had seen her leave the club with him. She knew there was only one place she could go, and she headed there as fast as she could.
Alatair was signing off the last of his paperwork, when he caught a glimpse of someone out of the corner of his eye. Nodding to the last driver, he went to investigate, warily coming around the corner of the last wagon in his caravan. He was shocked to see Zarabeth, covered in blood with her clothes half torn off.
“What in the world happened to you” he asked, “You look a fright.”
“I had a run in with a merchant named Kravchuk” she replied, “and he wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. Alatair, I know you don’t have any real reason to trust me, you don’t know me, you just met me in a club and had some dances, but I need help. No one is going to believe that this was self defense, but I have to get out of town. I swear this was an accident and self defense, and I’ll do anything if you can smuggle me out in your caravan. You’ve already had last inspection so I can sneak into a wagon, and I really need this.”
Alatair was not one to make rash decisions, but Zarabeth was in luck. It just so happened that Alatair had done some dealings with Kravchuk himself in this last trade mission, and he had already had formed just as negative an opinion of him as Zarabeth had. He didn’t know for sure that Zarabeth was trustable, but he knew Kravchuk wasn’t.
“Get in that one there” he motioned with his finger. “It’s my own personal wagon, and won’t be checked again. You can find a change of clothes in there, and I’ll bring some water for you clean yourself up.”

Fortunately for her, she had danced the previous night for a merchant, who had mentioned he was leaving town with his caravan the next day, and she was able to track him down. He agreed to let her accompany the caravan and she was able to slip out of town before the authorities caught up with her.

Zarabeth finished her last ‘cool down’ stretch of her routine. Truth be told, she had no idea if the town they were headed to would have a club she would be able to dance in, for that matter, she didn’t even know what town they were going to. All that she knew was it was not where she came from. And that was what mattered most. And being a dancer was what she was. If not in a club, she would just have to figure something else out. She always had and she always would.
Looking around, Zarabeth noticed one of the caravan guards, a woman she vaguely knew to be Elinon, watching her. Zarabeth was used to the men of the caravan watching her practicing her routines but this was the first time she had seen Elinon watching. As she began to towel the sweat from her body, she approached her.
“I’ve never seen someone move through dance routines quite as fast as you do” she said. “And up until now, I’ve never come across someone more flexible than me. What’s your name?”
“Zarabeh Sanitar” she answered, finishing up with towel, “And yours?”
“Elinon Domar” she said with a smile, “And I happen to be a bit of a dancer myself. In fact, believe it or not, I even use my dancing to protect myself in battle. I’d love to do some training with you, maybe I could show you some new moves, because I know I can learn from you.”

At first, Zarabeth didnt mingle with any of the caravan people or guards, but she did attract the interest of one of the caravan guardians, a woman named Elinon. Elinon was a battle dancer, and she noticed Zarabeth practicing her routine one day. The two of them struck up a friendship, connected by their dancing skills, and began training together. Zarabeth taught Elinon some new moves to use in her dancing, and Elinon taught Zarabeth how to use her dance skills in battle as she did. By the end of the trip, Zarabeth had mastered the basic arts of being a battle dancer and ended up joining the party, taking up the life of an adventurer.
At this point, Zarabeth’s training was taken over by the leader of the group, a warrior named Alleron. Under his tutelage, Zarabeth was able to refine her skills, and begin to develop her own style. Taking advantage of the fact that her dexterity outweighed her strength, Alleron trained her to be a finesse fighter, relying on quick, darting attacks.

”How many more of them are coming?” screeched Clylious. “We’re going to be overrun. You have to do something.”
Zarabeth tried to ignore Clylious, concentrating on watching the gnolls. She had never seen so many of the beasts together, and despite Clylious being hysterical about the situation, she had to admit that he might be right. Her sword was ready in her hands, and she shifted to the balls of her feet, preparing to go into her defensive dance routine. She might not be able to take enough of them down to survive, but she wasn’t going to go down without a fight.
From behind her, Zarabeth heard some chanting coming from Clylious. She had never seen the sorcerer in action, truth be told, she had never really seen any magic in her life, but she just hoped that the sorcerer would be able to do something.
Zarabeth was just tensing for her first attack, when the tingle struck her body. With a shock, she suddenly realized that the sorcerer has cast his spell on her. What sort of treachery was he up to? Then the magic took hold. To Zarabeth, the world seemed to slow down. As she tried to understand what was happening to her, another spell and then another was cast on her. She felt as if she was on top of the world. The gnolls were moving as if they were stuck in molasses. She charged the battle, body parts flying as her blade flashed. The gnolls could not touch her, their weapons either totally missed the mark or seemed to bounce off some arcane guard that moved with her in the fight, and then they fell to the deadly slice of her blade. With a shock, Zarabeth was suddenly staring around, the bodies of the gnolls littered the field, and none more were present. The rest of her party was just staring at her.

The next change in Zarabeth’s career came on a mission where the party had been hired to escort a sorcerer named Clylious. Zarabeth’s role in this mission was to guard Clylious personally in the case of an attack, and to make sure no monster got close enough to harm him. The mission had barely started when the party was attacked by a large group of gnolls, and Zarabeth promptly took up her position beside him. However, due to the number of gnolls, Clylious immediately thought that the gnolls would be able to get at him, and started casting combat-buff spells on Zarabeth, something that she had never experienced before. Zarabeth promptly became a fighting machine, and waded into the thick of the battle and ended up slaughtering over half the gnoll party single handedly.
However the magic triggered an unexpected, secondary effect. Somewhere, in Zarabeth’s ancestry, there had been a sorcerer, and whatever gene carried the power was awoken by the magic that Clylious had used on her. Zarabeth’s power in sorcery was raw and untrained, but for the rest of the travel, Clylious trained her in the art, and she eventually managed to harness the power and use it properly.

Zarabeth’s arcane shield snapped just into place as the ogre’s club came whistling down, and bounced off of it. She laughed as the brutish beast stared stupidly at what had just happened to him, and then danced lightly to his left, stabbing quickly with her sword. The ogre roared in pain as bright blood welled out of the twin marks, and swung his club in a huge arc. Once again, Zarabeth’s shield deflected the blows, frustrating the ogre to no end, and leaving him open to another set of her darting blows. The ogre staggered back, trying to measure where Zarabeth was going next and where her shield was, while Zarabeth took the opportunity to whisper another spell into her blade. Driving forward once she was finished, Zarabeth trusted to her shield to protect her, while her magic guided her blade. Both spells did their job, the ogres club swinging wide of the mark, while her true strike blade rammed home in the ogre’s chest, piercing his heart and finishing him off.
“Magic can be many things” Clylious remarked, as Zarabeth wiped her blade clean of blood on the ogre’s tunic. “You use yours as an augment to fighting. There’s a discipline for that, a ‘school’ if you will, they call themselves Abjurant Champions. Of course, if I’m not mistaken, they have rigorous standards for admission, but you probably just qualify, or might with just a touch more training.”
“Where can I join such a school?” Zarabeth replied as she rummaged through the sack the ogre had dropped. “And seeing as my last group disbanded, that’s another problem.”
“Your old group feared your new found fascination with magic” said Clylious. “You may find more of that as you continue in life. While they are fine with the magic imbued in weapons or armour, the actual wielding of magic makes them uncomfortable. You need a group that is already used to seeing magic used.”
“And do you know of such a group that would accept us?” Zarabeth asked, as she discarded the ogre pack.
“Us?..no, no, there is no us” Clylious replied. “The adventuring life is not one I would chose, I am too old for this sort of thing, and not cut out for battling monsters and such. I far prefer contemplative research and quiet study, as opposed to battling creatures bent on making me their supper.”
“Too old my foot” Zarabeth joked, “You don’t seem to be too old at night, at least that I’ve seen.”
“I feed off your..’enthusiasm’..my dear, but that’s something entirely different. My taste for adventures doesn’t run the same way as yours. But there many other groups that would jump at the chance to have someone with your skill set join them.

And so Zarabeth joined the with one of these groups.

The game can be gestalt or not, I know that a DM might be leery of running a 12th level gestalt game, so I can bend there. Mechanically in a gestalt game, she is a Battle Dancer/Fighter//Sorceress/Abjurant Champion, with a level distribution of 1/11//7/5. In non-gestalt, the same classes, with levels 1/4/2/5. Naturally, I prefer the gestalt version, but I can live with the other.
In all other respects, I am wide open to whatever concept the DM wants to come up with. I prefer 3.5 but as long as the Battle Dancer and Abjurant Champion are allowed into Pathfinder, I can play that one as well. I like slightly better than 32 point buy stats, but I'm not greedy on that, I just like the concept of the PC.
