One of our players recently had to quit playing, and so we are now looking for a new player. The party is currently lacking a beefy melee character, but it's certainly not a must to play one of those. Everyone is welcome, no matter their experience level. Just don't be a jerk to the other players and it should be fine. We currently use Skype for voice during games, but it's not set in stone, and the sessions are weekly, and about three hours a piece. It's a homebrew sandbox-type campaign set in a standard low magic fantasy world without many odd twists so far. It's currently very player-driven with no requirement to follow every plot hook, and it's more of a pointcrawl than a hexcrawl. As far as content goes, there's not been anything 18+ so far, and I would like to keep it that way. I am a laid back DM, and I still consider myself a novice -- especially to 5E -- but I haven't had any major complaints so far. I prefer a mix of RP (especially party banter) and combat, but I am fine with sessions being either only RP or almost only combat every now and then. I try to reward thinking outside of the box, and will mostly just present scenarios to the players, and it is up to them to find a solution. I prefer more shorter dungeon romps, so don't expect any megadungeons. The adventuring party, now down to four members, has just reached level 4 and is in a city for some downtime after an adventure. Coming up with a way for a new character to join the party shouldn't pose a problem. We use 27 PB for stats, and feats are used. I am open to homebrew classes and backgrounds -- barring gunpowder-based classes -- but I can't guarantee that I'll accept everything.
