[LFP][Free][Monday][Eastern European Time/GMT+2] Ancient Greek campaign looking for a player!

We are looking for a player to join in a DnD 5e campaign, The Stars Are Falling , set in a high fantasy, pseudo historical version of ancient Greece, roughly pre-Persian Wars. The player characters are chosen champions of one of the Olympian gods, whose mission is to assist the gods in an ongoing war against eldritch gods from another world. Our game runs on Mondays, 21:00 pm GMT+2 We are running a serious, roleplay-heavy campaign with a lot of lore and some combat, friendly to both veterans and newbies; we are LGBT+ friendly and aiming to be a relaxed group. After initial approval, you’ll be able to join in a little interview with the GM, made through Discord, to make sure we’re all compatible and to discuss your character idea and plans, before we make our final decision.  As a note, sorry this readup is pretty big, I want my players to have agood understanding of what they're getting into.  Requirements for applying: Discord + decent microphone for voice chat; enough free time to attend a 4-hour session every week; an appetite for fun and adventure; a love for roleplay-heavy games with characters that can be adapted to blend in well with the world; a tolerance for memes and low humor, (heroic?) nudity, coarse language and impromptu mini ted talks about mythology and history; and a passing familiarity with Greek mythology.  Races permitted: This is a lore-heavy game that relies on Greek mythology and we're trying for immersion. Please take a moment to look over the list of approved races for the setting. The homebrew races also have racial feats available. If you want to play a race other than the following, and you aren't looking for something outlandish, we can sit down and discuss what could potentially work best as the closest possible approximation to your preference, but bear in mind that your choice MUST synergise with the setting. Details will be provided after recrtuitment. Demigod (Aasimar), Centaur (homebrew), Dragonborn, Lesser Nymph (Elf, female only), Half-Elf, Human, Minotaur (homebrew), Satyr (homebrew), Siren (homebrew), Tiefling Sources Allowed: The Player's Handbook & Errata Revised Ranger Xanathar's Guide to Everything Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes Volo’s Guide to Monsters Sword Coast Adventurers' Guide Eberron Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything Provisionally: Mythic Odysseys of Theros (we use a few things from it) Provisionally: Midgard Heroes Handbook Provisionally: certain FF14 Classes (can be found on 5etools) Homebrew classes and races will not be allowed for this game for balancing and lore purposes, sorry! Homebrew backgrounds, custom rulings and spells may be allowed, if they are balanced and fit the setting; contact your DM to talk about it first, though. Full disclosure: I don't own any of the books available on Roll20 yet so this is kind of a low budget production. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I will do all I can to help with inputing things and sharing. Important: We’re essentially creating a collaborative ancient Greek epic. Elements of the allowed sources may be disallowed to preserve the integrity of the setting and the immersion of all participants. Please respect this decision. Try to come up with character concepts that fit the setting. Don’t ask to be a nordic dwarf in an ancient Greek setting who worships Thor. The point is to play local people who are close to and chosen by the Greek gods.    Some disclaimers: Don’t worry if you don’t know Greek mythology or ancient daily life in detail. This is a game, not an exam. You are free to ask your DM questions OOC or make various checks IC to gain information about various mythological or historical topics. There is no such thing as a stupid question. There is no punishment for asking for information -- unless you’re asking the BBEGs. Then I can’t help you.  While this campaign uses consent forms, and the setting has been made more colorful and less rigid than reality, topics like death, slavery, war and its atrocities, crime, sex and nudity are major themes of Greek mythology and history; they’ll come up, through various perspectives. If at any time you feel uncomfortable, please remain civil, request a timeout and sit down and talk with the rest of the group for the best possible resolution. Before the game starts, everyone will be provided with a consent form and a one on one discussion with the GM about personal limits. After every session we’ll be taking a few minutes to debrief and discuss any issues. The views and opinions expressed by characters within the game do not reflect the DM or the players' own beliefs and ethics . Remember that this is fiction. We are here to play a game. There will be conflict and problems and content that might be difficult, but it’s there for your characters to deal with as heroes do, not simply to upset anyone. We are not here to solve real world politics and societal problems. Remember that your group are humans, not mere voices on the other end of Discord.  We are not running an explicit 18+ game, but bawdy jokes are part of the Greek culture and some might happen. Nudity is a prevalent theme, again due to the cultural background; you might be naked at times, it’s an inevitability in a setting where people dress in basically bedsheets and have nude statues on display. Please be chill about it, it’s fiction. Sexual themes will get the 'fade to black' treatment and any “creeper” behavior will first get a single warning, then a kick from the game if it continues. Please resist the temptation to re-create hackneyed pop-culture interpretations of Greek mythology for this game. Characters like Percy Jackson, Kratos or Kassandra from Assassin’s Creed will not make the cut. It’s ok to borrow art but we’re aiming for a more nuanced approach. At this time, our party consists of a human(?)Fighter, an elf Monk and an aasimar Sorcerer. APPLICATION: What should we call you: Age: Gender/Pronouns: Experience: Expectations of the game: Rough Character Concept (can be tweaked later) Name: Age: Race: Class: Personality: Brief Background:

Sounds interesting would you be willing to take 2 players? im looking for a game for myself and a friend?

Hello! I would be interested in joining if you are still looking ! APPLICATION: What should we call you: I'm happy to go by my discord name Zara, or my real name Brittany. My discord if you wish to contact me is Zara#8153 Age: 31 Gender/Pronouns: She/Her Experience: A little over a year of actual D&D 5e. Also 15+ years of single player D&D themed RPGs like Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale and about the same 15+ years of roleplay experience in play by post. Expectations of the game: An enjoyable experience with roleplay, character development and playing a character that can interact with the party and the world around them realistically and grow from it. Also having fun interactions out of character and maybe making new friends while playing the game. I'm here for story, character development and design, and the social elements of the game most of all. Rough Character Concept (can be tweaked later) Name: Lysander Age: 20 Gender: Male Race: Siren? Class: Ranger  (Either Beast Master or Fey Wanderer) Personality: Calm, a dedicated hunter of monsters who has a good heart. He swears not to get involved in the matters of men, but his kindness and gentle soul always sway him into getting involved one way or another. He hides his awkwardness when dealing with people behind walls of fake confidence and an aloof nature. If he presents himself as a surly hunter perhaps that will deter the masses from getting to close and seeing how terrified he is of social situations? But at the same time he is lonely and does like people even if he is terribly awkward and unsure how to handle them past his awkwardness and fear of crowds. Brief Background: Lysander was found by the sea his mother a siren who saved him from death by her sisters. His father had been noble but died to his siren mother at sea. He was adopted by a loving family and raised as a hunter by them, both his father ad his mother being hunters in a woodland that was rife with magical influence. he learned respect for nature and how to track unnatural beasts that could be dangerous to the locals. Though he was never good at dealing with said locals his nature became a point of fascination for some, and he was never sure how to handle that attention. So he wandered, his adoptive parents are still alive but they understand his need, he still has a trinket from his true father...an old ring that his siren mother left with him when she abandoned him on the shore a clue to his true parentage that he never bothered to look into much.
