Hello!
Looking for a DnD group to join. I’m fine with either joining an on-going one, or an entirely new one.

About me:

21 year old trans man. Currently completing a Masters degree in psychology.
I’ve been playing DnD (and its derivatives) for 9 years.

Preferences:

•I would prefer DnD groups that are around my age, or mixed age groups.
•LGBT+ friendly groups.
•Left-wing groups.
•Campaigns that allow animalistic races. Unfortunately I only play as anthro creatures (I feel like symbolism and metaphors work better with them) and I do not enjoy playing anything humanoid.
•An actively involved DM that wants to create a story with the players and not just use the players as pawns in their own story.
•I don’t enjoy pre-written modules like Curse of Strahd and I prefer original adventures.
•I’m okay with any dark topics as long as they’re discussed respectfully and add to the story.

Example Characters:

These characters are just examples of things I tend to play. I can and will create new characters to better suit the tone and setting of the campaign. While two of these characters are semi-homebrew, I can create characters that align with vanilla DnD.

•Adar Llwch Gwin — Created years ago because I thought it would be funny to have a 7ft tall muscular Dragonborn druid instead of the typical magician twink. Ted Kaczynski-type figure, despises technology and progress and will sabotage it if he has to while maintaining a strict no-killing code. Appears like a typical brooding edgelord, while in reality he is just extremely socially awkward and doesn’t know what to say half the time. Overall a nice guy.

•Iggo — A terrible man who was turned into a goat by a magician he scorned, and told he will be turned back into a human if he commits enough good deeds. Iggo is still a jackass, and his benevolent actions come from selfishness instead of altruism, as he desperately wants to be a human again by whatever means necessary.

•Xelluth — Previously an elderly cleric who was kidnapped by Gnolls while protecting her town, killed and resurrected as one of them. Blind and mad, she regained her human memories and still thinks she is a cleric, not knowing that her magic became perverted into necromancy. She thinks that she is a powerful cleric that resurrects the dead instead of reanimating corpses… She is looking for her family who want nothing to do with her anymore.

Location:

Anywhere in London is fine. Can travel.

Availability:

I am less available in summer than I am other times of the year because I have to go visit my family in a different country sometimes. This summer looks less busy for me, but expect occasional temporary absences that will be communicated to you beforehand.

I’m looking into making my first ever Battle Jacket, but I faced a slight issue.

Denim is an extremely thick material and I am prone to overheating to the point it can become dangerous for me.
I understand that’s the standard, but I’d like to wear my Battle Jacket to summer festivals and mosh pits.

What types of lightweight clothing material would be acceptable to turn into a battlejacket/battlevest?

Any underrated extremely unpopular Japanese games out there on Steam? The genre doesn’t matter. Preferably something with a philosophical angle, or with deep symbolism. Needs to have a good plot, if it has good mechanics as well that’s great too.

No games where children are being portrayed in inappropriate ways for the creator’s gratification. No lolis, shotas or other child exploitation. Otherwise, pop off.
