Sage In the Making
So a group of my friends gather every Thursday to play games for a few years now. However they are generally the worst group ever because someone (or multiple people) call out nearly every week nobody ever has their characters leveled properly or the DM doesn't have a campaign prepared. I personally have never gotten to play because I work late on Thursdays. Right now they are struggling to even get together once a month because even if some people show up they do not campaign and so nobody even bothers to try anymore. Everybody wants to DM but nobody wants to put in the work. They will have one person running around causing mayhem and another spending 30 minute's talking to NPC's and so some people get completely ignored. We have attempted to introduce "new blood" to the group to rejuvenate interest but the new players get shunted by the fact that no game is ever actually played and they soon leave the group.
So here I am attempting to learn from basically nowhere how to play, and eventually DM a game. So that I can say "Game day is THIS day, I will be there with my campaign and we will play with whoever show's up." or something to that extent. We are all 20 somethings and frankly having a shitty time of life. ALL OF US. We need this. So help me.
I need someone (or actually a few someone's ideally) to teach me the ropes. I can read the books but without playing the game it all just seems too abstract. I obviously can't DM since I have never played so I have need of a DM and a couple of other players. Help me out someone?
