FG License: Ultimate (FG free demo is all that is needed)

Day of week and time: Sundays 7pm - 11pm
Planned start date: July 29th
Planned Duration & Frequency: 3-4 hr session weekly
Term: Long-term (All the way to the end of the Dungeon of the Mad Mage, possible epilogue planned as well depending on how the story goes)
Text or Voice: Both, plan to use discord server for optional in-between session roleplay
Voice software used: Discord
Roleplay & Combat mix: 50/50
Number of Players in game & needed: 6-8 signed up so we always have at least 5-7 playing
Character starting level & equipment: 1st level
Character restrictions: None (I have all official modules, you can use any combination to play who you want)
Details of your scenario: Our long-term campaign will begin in September with the release of Dragon Heist and go all the way to the end of the Dungeon of the Mad Mage. Between now and then I'd like to run a short-term campaign to test out some new systems, get everyone comfortable with FG, and work on my DM skills. I'm new to DMing in Fantasy Grounds and haven't been a DM for another game in several years. I really love the 5e system and I'm looking forward to trying a lot of new stuff using VTT/Discord. I am considering broadcasting the game over twitch also once the long-term campaign begins, so please only apply if you're okay with your voice being broadcast on my channel.
I like to play games with characters who have a lot of depth, so please be willing to write a nice backstory for your character. The more detail you include, the more I can work into in the story. I don't yet know the details of the dragon heist or mad mage story, but I have a separate subplot for the characters to weave into the published stories.
My ideal players are not necessarily power gamers but can learn how to play their class effectively so that I can plan appropriate challenges. I use some added/modified rules that players might not be used to, so rules-lawyers may not be a good fit if strict adherence to the original rules is important. I don't ever fudge the dice-rolls, but I do like to use the dice tower in order to keep the player's meta-knowledge under control. For instance, the player may think they made a good argument but their deception skill check was a natural 1. I like to play this out without the player knowing they failed immediately; they'll find out through the actions of the NPC.
Regarding language: I'm no sailor, but I am known to use bad language every once in a while. If you know you're sensitive to this then you should probably not sign up. That being said, I have no tolerance for any language that can be considered sexist, racist, or LGBT phobic.
If this sounds like a good game for you then sign up before Saturday July 28th. Let me know what kind of character you'd like to play (race / class / background / alignment). I will send out invites Tuesday the 24th.

Edit Note: Everyone here is so awesome that I've received more than enough high quality applications already in just one day. I originally set the date of invites and last day of applications for the 28th, but I changed this date to the 24th to give anyone seeing this post over the weekend a chance to apply. This will also give the people chosen more time to think about their character decisions and review their options.
Cheers : )
