[Online][5e][GMT+2] GM-Player seeking GM-Player for collaborative world-building-story-telling experience

tl,dr; looking for a GM to co-create, narrate and play in a duet-format home brew game with an emphasis on story telling and an intention to create short-run story focussed podcasts.

===========

Why do you play TTRPGs? Really really? For me it’s the story. It must move me, it must move my players.

As a GM, I became increasingly frustrated with the inability to tell cohesive stories and explore character story arcs with large groups.

I started reducing my game size, until eventually I got to the duet. Single player, single GM.

I read a lot about them, and all of it excited me. Take a read through some of these posts. If they don’t excite you, don’t apply.

Having recently run a short duet, I love the format. It allowed me to craft a world around my player and have her decisions be the primary focus. In 6 hours of player, I experience more joy as a GM than in the countless hours I’ve played with other groups.

I’d like to repeat that experience, and experience it from the other side as well.

While my player and I talked about her running some games as well, it never happened. Perhaps that’s because that expectation wasn’t set up front.

I’m setting that expectation here - I’m not only looking for a player. I’m looking for a GM who can play in my world, and GM for me to play in it as well.

This means co-creating, co-story telling. Maybe it won’t work, but I really want to try. If you’re not excited to try this, don’t apply.

As a habit, I’ve always recorded my sessions to take notes later. I’ve always longed to share these recordings with others, but poor recording quality and lack of up front expectation (again) lead to that not being a reality.

I would like to podcast these games. Not as a long form podcast akin to the one created by those crazy talented voice actor people everyone’s trying to copy. Shorter, edited versions that are all story with a bit of production behind them. If this doesn’t intrigue you, don’t apply.

I also appreciate an attempt at voice acting. You don’t need to be good, I’m not. But you must want to try. If not, don’t apply.

Due to my time limitations, I’ve also found that short sessions work for me. Like, one hour short. It works well for the duet format as well, as the GM and player both have more ‘stage’ time than regular games. I can’t find time anywhere for 3-4 hour games, so if you’re looking for that, don’t apply.

If you haven’t run away by now, then maybe you’re the person I’m looking for.

If you think you are DM me and tell me why.
