[LFP][D&D5e] Weekly Friday Game 5:00 PM GMT+0 (British Time) New DM

1477137401

Edited 1477623815
Greetings Adventurers! The game setting is the typical medieval setting running D&D 5th edition. We are currently playing at  17:00 GMT+0 . I am also up for doing bonus sessions if the entire group are up for it. I wish to stress this is my FIRST time DMing ever so please be considerate it will take me time to get better at this kind of thing. I will be taking advantage of asking players what their likes/dislikes were of the session and what they thought could have been better at the end and making sure to hand out inspiration. I also don't strictly follow the book and may rule things a little different or if we are not sure what the rules say in a certain situation and I must rule on the fly I will do so. I prioritize RP I am not going out of my way to follow every little rule or slow down the game because of it unless I can quickly look it up especially if it is minor. You may use any race/class you want I will not be restricting you in that sense. I'm also running a sandbox game. I require you have a microphone as well as we will be voice chat RPing.  It is important to note that I am a new DM running my own world and lore. I am using a map that someone has created using a 60 mile hex map but I have added my own towns/villages/cities to it. I'm going to be running a serious and deadly experience while also trying to accommodate comic relief when I can and when appropriate. I will also be running this game as an 18+. This Game may include violence, drugs, sex, racism, rape, slavery, insanity and any number of other taboo subjects. If you are easily offended, or under the age of 18, this probably isn't the right game for you.  I also want to point out that it is likely your characters you create in my world may die and you should proceed with absolute caution. The game is as hard or as easy as you make it be. We will be starting at level 1.  Information about the campaign "Agents of Chaos" and the continent of Yaumiki This campaign has a central tension about the struggles between Chaos vs Law but if the characters wish to actively seek out and engage with that narrative is up to them. There will be opportunity for the adventurers to involve themselves in this struggle, or to go about their own business, though regardless of what they choose to do there are consequences and benefits to their choices either way. There are various nations in this game that all have their own information, governments and ways of running things. There are many villages, towns, and cities you can visit and go to as well. There may be other struggles going on in this world for the players to involve themselves in as well but the main central tension is as prior mentioned Chaos vs Law. The Hadora Empire has banned the worship of God Nerual of Chaos throughout their lands. The King has stated and believes that chaos is the root of all evil and what poisons the minds of criminals to not follow the right and just laws of the land. He has declared and made it law anyone within his borders who worships this "cult" shall be executed. The new king has revitalized the economy of the nation and unified the people once more. The last king was unfit for rule and was a horrible tyrant who devoutly followed the religion of chaos, and often went against the culture and principles of the people and was also named a "Tyrant". He did this by humiliating his servants, often in public, and would kill or humiliate those who did not agree with his ideas or bend to his will.. Often public execution, or making those who went against him his "pets" and treat them literally like dogs till they learnt their obedience once more. The current King swore upon taking the throne after the last king died under suspicious circumstances vowed to his people he would bring this country back to its prior glory and to restore the nation once more and removing the chaos religion from these lands and declaring it a religion of true evil and corruption, and would therefore place a big priority on enforcing the goddess Astair of Order and Law as the one true god. The Kingdom still allows other religions and paladin orders to operate within his nation but he has completely outlawed Chaos throughout his country. The God of Chaos wishes for justice for this heinous crime which nobody has been doing anything about and therefore has been taking actions unknown to most in order to rectify this issue. Through his anger he has taken action as his well being and power as the other gods gather their power from the consciousness but he also gains power through the act of chaotic action (that doesn't mean evil chaos but more just in general) of the people and without it he is powerless and relies on his followers to do what it is he requires or must take drastic and extreme action. I will be using the stock races in my world BUT you can create your own race and work on it with me. You cannot be from the continent though and must choose how you ended up in this continent and why. Perhaps you ended up here from another plane of existence or you are a merchant or traveler from another island or continent. It is entirely up to you. PLEASE PM ME YOUR APPLICATION. APPLICATION TEMPLATE: How old are you? (being under 18 isn't an instant denial): What is your experience with D&D? (None is fine): What character do you want to play generally speaking(A brief description is fine)?: Are there any issues that you wish to discuss with me about my game or any questions? You can join my teamspeak server at "ts.cozen.nl:9000". I am called Eddy Bravo on there and will be on one of the "Chat Rooms" in an open channel for a few hours at least. Please feel free to come talk to me. It will be a requirement to have a working microphone and I suspect to be using either skype or teamspeak. I would prefer to use skype when playing our D&D sessions because I can use a webcam (I don't expect you to do so) which could help better describe/show what I need a bit easier.

Start date it to be determined but I hope to start on the 4th of November. Also looking for a long-term group.
Got two people who are interested and are potentially joining so could still do with a couple more people.

Greetings, Sounds like a great setting to play in. Age: 30 Experience: I currently have no practical experience with tabletop RPGs, but have been watching Critical Role, Twitch streams and Youtube videos as well as pouring over the PHB and other material to prep myself for my first adventure for quite awhile now. What type of character do i want to play: I have a couple ideas in mind for some characters I've been piecing together for awhile now, most recently a Variant Human Light Domain Cleric raised by a clan of dwarves who left the deep dwellings of his adopted kin to seek out adventure, learn more about the ways of his human heritage and spread the truth and light for his deity Berronar Truesilver. I am also open to play whatever the party needs if we're going for a balanced party. First game, so I am game for anything. If you still have a slot open i'd love to join, looking forward to some RP and adventures with a group of fun people.

I will pm you my contact details and we can arrange to chat.
If you aren't a fan of puns disregard this application. When I play anything, I pun. How old are you? (being under 18 isn't an instant denial): 22 What is your experience with D&D? (None is fine): I have played exactly one adventure in Pathfinder and have planned out (but not yet run) an adventure of my own in 5e. I have experience running a labyrinth people roleplay through, but not in a D&D sense; and I want to actually play campaigns some time instead of run one, that'd be real swell. (Other than this I've only played D&D the one time, but luckily I'm a fast learner and have read the handbooks. It's enough to appear at least somewhat knowledgeable, right? Right??) What character do you want to play generally speaking (A brief description is fine)?: I'm willing to be whatever characters type is needed that hasn't been chosen yet; I want to try everything, and haven't tried anything, so it's time to start my list. Are there any issues that you wish to discuss with me about my game or any questions?: I like to be creative. I won't be flayed alive if I make dumb jokes and try silly things, will I? I realize the setting is 'adult' and some people prefer serious roleplaying, so I'll understand if you'd prefer to stick to a more professional atmosphere. (You can probably tell my narrative style just from my app so far, to give you a general idea.) I also have anxiety so I might be jittery until I get used to the group, but right now my desire to play a game is outweighing my fear of new people, so looking good so far. On the rare occasions I won't be able to talk on mic for brief amounts of time - my grandfather occasionally comes in the house to use the bathroom, and he'd have a heart attack if he heard me discussing wanton escapades and drug abuse with internet strangers - I am a swift typer (70-90 WPM is swift. I think. Probably.), and I'm generally funnier in text than out loud anyway.
How old are you? (being under 18 isn't an instant denial): 34 What is your experience with D&D? (None is fine): I started out with 1st edition and I've played pretty much every edition released, bar 4th. I have a fair amount of experience with 5E, but my intention is more to reserve that as a resource when needed (rather than bogging down the game with discussions about rules). What character do you want to play generally speaking (A brief description is fine)?: That really depends on the rest of the group. This is just my preference, but I like to fill gaps in groups by taking on classes/roles that nobody else has nabbed. That being said, I find the bard, cleric, druid and wizard to be absolutely wonderful classes in 5E. So I'm pretty confident I'd end up as one of those.

Thank you both for your applications and I appreciate your interest in this game; however I have unfortunately ran out of room and as much as I would love to accept each of you we would then have a 7 man party which is far too large I feel. Thank you for your time and I do wish you luck in finding a D&D game in the future. Kind regards Edward. 
I am interested in taking new players into the game. We instead will be hosting at 5:30 GMT+0 so for anyone interested please feel free to apply. I am interested in strictly taking in two players which will make the party a size of 4 (technically 5 including the NPC in the party).

Hi Edward- and maybe future party members. I enjoyed your world setting, and I hope to be able to join your game! Age : 25 Experience : [3 years] I've been Hosting my own games in real life, and on the site. Both D&D, Pathfinder and a Mass Effect game. Who knows? Maybe i'll even be able to help remembering rules, or roll20 app advice? Though i'm also completely fine with being hands'off- as it will be great not having to host for once. Characters: I have a couple of arc-types i'd like to play. An Wizard Enchanter:  Harris (Human) His big dream is to be a master weaponsmith / enchanter. His spells will be focused on relevant things such as buffing. Fighter: Sigmund:  An army deserter - or former mercenary, the kind of guy who is just unable to look presentable - even in a thousand dollar suit. Ever the optimist, therefore bad with money,always willing to sign a new contract. Cleric: Lawrence:  A man of civilisation (was a cleric to Erathis in another campaign" Tame the wilderness to make it fit for habitation" Dogma, A good looking guy, with a terrible lazy-eye.  I'm thinking all of my characters will be around my age, as it should be easier for the other players, and you, to imagine.  Issues you should know about: None, hopefully everything will run smoothly, and we'll have a blast. I really like the idea of an actual chance of loosing a character, it just helps with the tension on it's own - and hopefully has the effect of creating a better group dynamic- as more is on the line. Thanks for your time, i hope we'll get to play together one day! -Patrick
