Looking for a DM that's able to run a Sword Art Online style 5e D&D game. I've a loose concept for it in mind. I simply don't have the time to run it my self but would love to play in it. I'm hoping the game can run from 1st level though at least 10th. Though if it goes beyond that I wont complain.

Looking for in a DM
5-10 years of gaming experience
Well versed in D&D 5e as both a player and a DM
Knowledgeable about SAO
Good story teller with a balanced approach to combat and story.
Creative and able to challenge their players to think outside the box

Just how attached are you to 5e?

I've been on a SAO kick lately myself and have been rolling around ideas for a couple weeks, but I not only don't do 5e, I've got a few custom rules I wanted to use.

Though, I admit to thinking something SAO-like rather than directly in the SAO universe.

In reply to DarkLightHitomi (msg # 2):

I'd like to keep it to a D&D style game. I'm open to other rule sets though. I just don't want to have a large learning curve for it though.

Setting doesn't have to be in the SAO universe but similar is fine. Its mostly the full dive VR game feel that I like.
