So you want someone to run a specific game for you....
In the old incarnation of MW, we had a thread where people could suggest certain games: specific scenarios, series, storylines, seasons, or books. In the spirit of the ancients, let's do the same here, but let's lay down some ground rules.
- Bear in mind that under no circumstances is anyone obliged to fulfill your request: we're a community of volunteers, both players and DMs, and a request is merely that.
- State what you want to run, and why: "I like Descent into Avernus, someone run that in ALG rules" is fine and good, but there's a million ways to run a scenario. If you don't feel comfortable telling the DM how to do their job, that's one thing, but if you feel passionate enough to request something, you should have a reason why.
- Links are useful things! If you're linking to a specific scenario, or scenario series, link to it on the DM's Guild or AL website. Help your prospective DMs out, and we might be more willing to run the games for you, given how much work a game is for DMs. Naturally if it's a hardcover or a whole season, you have some grace here. As an alternative, if you've found reviews for works, or storyline breakdowns that might be useful for the DM, supply them: for example, Baldman Games has a lot of resources for DMs for their Moonshae games, and similar things are super helpful for DMs.
- Keep in mind current Season rules! Not all games were published with the same rules in mind, and some adaptation will be required; fortunately, there are guides for official AL stuff, so that can be helpful.
If you feel like you might need it, here's a nifty template you can use! All of it is optional.
What are you wanting someone to run? Name the game/series/whatever here.
What Tier is this? Tier-1 covers levels 1-4, Tier-2 5-10, Tier-3 11-16, Tier-4 is 17+.
What draws you to this adventure? As concise or long as you need.
What are your expectations for how long this will last? While many might feel reserved here, transparency is also helpful to some DMs: are you wanting just a single scenario, a whole hardcover, or just interested in seeing where things go?
What kind of character are you planning on running? Might help other prospective players.
May you roll a Nat 20 on your Persuasion!
