It looks like all player slots are currently filled - if any open up I will message any who were interested. Thanks for your interest!
FG License: Standard
Game System: Dungeons and Dragons 5e
Time Zone: US EST
Day of week and time: Based on the current responses, it looks like: Thursdays - Starting around 8pm US EST (UTC - 5h)
Planned start date: Approx 1 week after finding group
Planned Duration & Frequency: ~3 hour sessions, weekly
Term: Long-term
Text or Voice: Both text and voice
Voice software used: Discord
Role-play & Combat mix: Dependent on player preference, but likely 50/50
Number of Players needed: 4-6 players needed
Character starting level & equipment: Level 0, no equipment (see campaign details)
Character restrictions: Standard array, Classes From PHB: No Monks. Multi-class: Only max 1 other class. Races: No Dragonborn, Tieflings only with good reason and acceptance that horns/tails must be concealed in most circumstances. Sub-races: from any official source except those specific to a particular campaign setting (e.g. Drow). Backgrounds: Any except those specific to a particular campaign setting (may require slight flavor changes based on the starting campaign scenario). Alignment: Those who murder party members or random people indiscriminately would not be a good fit.
Details of the scenario: The campaign planned is a hybrid homebrew/sandbox/published material campaign. I like to remix shorter published scenarios and various adventure hooks into a custom setting, allow players to pursue whichever of the plot threads that interest them most, and mold the campaign, over-arching story, and future scenarios based on which threads were followed and the player's actions during that time.
This particular campaign will start off with a converted 1e module in which players start as commoners/apprentices/novices (level 0) captured by slavers. As a result, they start their journey as accidental adventurers and during this adventure, end up emerging as level 1 - whatevers and resume standard progression. If interested in playing in such a starter scenario, I will gladly explain how the mechanics and character creation would work in regards to creating the type of character you desire.
XP is awarded in a hybrid milestone/challenge/player reward format.
My Background: Played and DM'ed Redbox, 1e, 2e for many years before drifting away for a while. I am looking forward returning to the hobby with 5e. Fantasy grounds experience consists largely of creating campaign material so there will be (a hopefully brief) learning curve when using it to DM with that material. While I have experience DMing, I have not yet done so with 5e so there will be a bit of a learning curve there too. A certain amount of patience in both these regards is likely a requirement for an enjoyable time.
Wishlist for players: Friendly and respectful of everyone. Everyone is looking to have fun and treating everyone with respect is required for that to happen. Rules-lawyers are probably not a good fit as I tend to err on the side of entertainment and moving the game along when possible. Min/maxers are probably not a good fit.
Novices to Dungeons and Dragons or 5e are probably a good fit (let's master 5e together).
Old-school players looking to return to the game (like myself) or wishing revisit some classic scenarios as well as experience some new ones are likely a good fit.
Experienced players who can be patient during the initial learning curve would be a good fit.
Kind, friendly people are always a good fit.
*If interested and our schedules align, please let me know what type of class you would likely want to end up playing (e.g. fighter, bard, or warlock, etc) so we can ensure a certain amount of variety in party makeup.
