DM Seeking Players (West Valley / Goodyear)

I'm looking for three players to join a weekly in-person campaign that's been running for months. Experienced players are welcome, but I especially love brand-new players. Never rolled a die? Perfect. I'll teach you everything you need to get into roleplaying.
The world: Aether & Empire. Think Altered Carbon meets Dune, in high-fantasy D&D. An immortal Emperor rules a world where the rich never die. They buy clones with pearls, and those pearls come from one place: an island in another plane, where tears in reality spill out monsters and treasure. Great noble Houses scheme over who gets to rule it.

You're a crew of rift-closers in Threshold, a cramped, overpriced colony city where everyone came to get rich or die trying. Above you is a whole ladder of power: veteran crews who've bought their way out of death, the casters who sell immortality, the guild that controls passage between worlds, and at the top the Gilt, aristocrats who've been alive for a thousand years. Every rung is within reach, if you survive the climb. Most don't. Expect monsters, politics, heists, and choices that matter.
Details
• Saturdays (Sunday possible), starting at 11am, about 6 hours (some flexibility)
• Weekly, in person at my home in Goodyear
• D&D 5e (2024 rules). New characters join at the party's level, and I'll help you build one
• Tone: dark humor and mature themes. The setting's sharpest edge is the gulf between the immortal rich and everyone else, and the game doesn't look away from it.
Interested? Send me a message with a bit about yourself and what you enjoy in games (or movies and books, if you're new). We'll start with a casual meet-up, then you can join in on a few sessions to see if it's a fit.
