Psst, any DnD fans watching me?

EDIT: Oh wow, that's a pretty big amount of responses I wasn't expecting, haha... plans are underway for that! I'll be letting yall know when I have more details for who I wanna invite (I unfortunately have to be picky, I'm picturing only a group of 4 or 5 players at a time) and when we can arrange for the testrun oneshot :D

I floated the idea around of being a DM for a DnD 5e campaign for a bit and I'm becoming increasingly convinced that it might be a thing. I thought about doing a "test run" in the next coming weeks of like a one-shot just so I can get the hang of DMing (I've played it before, I've just never hosted a game though I think I'd be good at it with practice), as well as just online play in general (I've only ever played IRL up until now lol)

To be clear, I don't intend on making any "content" based on it like recording for an actual play series or adapting it to a comic or something, I just wanna do something for fun. I'd like to be able to do some art for assets and general, but I just wanna try it out as a casual, private-ish hobby thing and see where it goes as that.

If there is enough interest, I'll see to like contacting folks I think would be rad to play with for just a test run, may do some quasi-session 0 discussions to lay some preparations in place and properly scheudle a time to run it. If it actually happens and the venture shows promise, maybe I will do a campaign -- I spent all day brainstorming a pretty fun concept for it already lol -- but we'll just see how that goes! Lemme know what yall think if this interests you!

For my campaign idea: slightly dark but overall lighthearted and funny, has some room for TG/TF elements but is rated PG-13-ish (I dunno how comfortable folks are with doing saucier roleplay around other players who might be strangers lol). Focus on roleplay and developing stories, but aiming for a combat encounter or two each session.

Also, preferably with voicechat at the least. That might sound like a real dealbreaker as I know a lotta folks around me are private and sensitive about their voice, as am I! However, I can't imagine DnD without the in-the-moment social dynamics coming from speaking to each other with voices, and feel PBP would kill the flow really fast.

High pitch: an isekai/Digimon/Tron-style affair of getting trapped into an in-universe fantasy RPG because of a fourth-wall-breaking villain and having to adventure your way out, among other things!

The players take the role as playtesters who were invited to try out this new, experimental metaverse fantasy RPG, only to find the studio deserted, and upon stumbling into the dev room where the game is, they end up sucked into the game world, becoming their avatars in the process.

It turns out what happened is that one of the mini-bosses was given super-advanced AI, became self-aware, learned of a hole in reality, and has been ripping through and manipulating the game's code to not only corrupt and take over the in-game world, but drag the real world into it. It's up to these gamers becoming their adventuring avatars (their DnD characters) to navigate the world, find the lost developers who also became trapped in their own creation, slay the fourth-wall-breaking final boss, and patch up that hole in the metaverse.

Think it's like DnD but by way of Amazing Digital Circus mixed with the new Jumanji movies with Dwayne Johnson lol

(If I end up stumbling or screwing up any rules or plot holes I can't resolve, just explain it in-universe that the metaverse be glitching out lol)
