LFP D&D 4E moving to 5e

Hi there! Due to people not showing up (apparently life is something very important, who would have thought?) I've decided to try and recruit players to my group which I DM. we are currently playing 4e but we are going to switch to 5e soon. we play on Sundays  at 4pm/16:00 GMT+1. We tend to go for roughly 2h-6h depending on if the players want to. Generally we end up going for 4h. The story is homebrewn and so are some rules.  Its pretty heavily combat oriented for the moment with almost always a fight per sessions. I also make my players face moral decisions which are really fun to listen to. sadly the players are quite shy when it comes to rp so I hope that some rp veteran out there sees this and decides to join and help me get these guys out of their shells, I know they have the potential, they just need a little extra push. if you have more questions about the story or anything just post a reply or message me! :) yours truly Thepotatis/Simon :p

How story-focused is your game? In other words, is it more "the moon is falling" or more "Keep on the Borderlands?" What rules have you modified? Are any races/classes forbidden by setting or balance? What is the expected PC mortality rate? Are players expected to focus on survival or on pursuing a goal, if it comes down to it? What happens when PCs come into conflict? What is the current level range of the party? Are new/replacement PCs expected to begin at 1, 1d4 below, or on-level? What other requirements should new PCs meet, at this time and in general? What do you use for communications-- Text, Roll20's onboard voice, or a third-party program? What is the current/desired group size? As for me, I've only a small amount of experience, mostly as GM, because, as you've said, people not showing up. I'm afraid I can't fully recall my last PC, since the game lasted only a single session and was six years ago, but it was likely a wizard; I tend to prefer arcane classes, but am willing to fill whatever role a party needs. [[EDIT: I've just recalled that I did in fact play in a brief 5e game some months ago, in which I played an Aarakocra Druid named Sparra, who acted exactly how a reader of Redwall would expect him to.]] I'm on the east coast of the US (Eastern Time, -5; I believe your listed time is 11:00AM here) and have no qualms with the listed schedule. (Though I may need to mute for a couple minutes to eat.) For playstyle, I tend to prefer games that involve many options for meaningful choice (don't we all?) in non-combat situations, and ways to turn a potentially dangerous scenario in the party's favor, whether through negotiation, stealth, or other trickery. I am available on weekends beginning... well, pretty much immediately, though if I join I'd prefer to wait until the transition to 5e has occurred, so as to not end up playing a character for 1-2 sessions before having to rewrite them. I am of course willing to respond to questions, though it would likely be best to do so in PMs from here out to avoid cluttering the thread.
