D&D 5e Community

I'm trying to start a community of D&D 5e games, but DM's keep disappearing without notice and I'm stretched too thin to keep all my commitments going, let alone take on more games. Anyone out there interested in DMing 5e?

D&D 5e Community

I'm curious why you feel that a board for 5e Community is needed? Specifically, what does this board offer to make it appealing?

The reason I say this is because I once did the same thing for Pathfinder games. There was a perceived shortage of PF games on the site, and new players to RPoL were having a hard time finding a game they could get into. So, I chose to create a board where multiple games could be run. I didn't know that there was already such a board, and I joined that one, too, but the GM eventually had to pass it onto someone else, and before long it faded and got deleted.

There's also a D&D 3.5 Forgotten Realms community, which actually has something like 7 separate boards. Participants have been declining over the years, however, and most of the boards resemble ghost towns.

On top of which, I've seen adds in the Players Wanted thread for several Lost Mines of Phandalin games, all on a separate board. I'm running a version of it myself, which I started 3 years ago.

I realize that, with multiple games on one board, that you have to assign each one to a separate Group to keep things organized, but that means anyone who might be interested can't go there and see how those games are going. I have that problem with my Pathfinder board.

I might be interested in DMing, so that's why I'm asking: what do you see as the benefit of multiple games on one board?
