[LFP][5e] Friday 6:00PM EST Homebrew Campaign

[LFP][5e] Friday 6:00PM EST Homebrew Campaign Hello everyone, We are a group currently playing Friday’s at 6:00pm EST over Discord chat. This is a homebrew campaign world with changes to major elements of the game. 1 st Gods don’t exist in this campaign world. Instead people pray to, and worship things that help them survive the day to day. For example, a person may praise the field for giving them food, the forge for giving them tools, and the walls for protecting them against the horrors from beyond. 2 nd Overland travel rules are being modified to bring more stories into the game. As such the background Outlander, and some Ranger abilities will be modified in the future to not trivialize the overland travel element of the game. Also anything found that trivializes story will most likely be modified in the future, however this is the only aspect of the game I would like to explore. 3 rd New players are welcome, and I am perfectly willing to teach someone how to play the game. However, I expect effort in return. 4 th No Resurrection Magic If this sounds interesting to you, then great! This is what we are looking for and a few expectations:      Players over the age of 18.      2 Players (I would prefer 2 female players; however I will consider male applicants as well. Note: 1 spot is reserved for a female)      Game time starts at 6:00; which means you arrive around 5:45      Collaboration with me on character backstories. To fit the campaign I’m trying to give each character a personal quest. Also, I will have to fit you into the next story arc, and I have no idea what the players are going to do next…      On that note, be interested in a sandbox environment. About the campaign The story is based on player decisions, and their interaction with each other’s backstory. There are real consequences to your actions that persist through the game world. People can travel from town to town telling stories about you, and their interactions are either positive or negative. NPCs will remember you if they are frequented enough. The story is about the player characters. I like having PC information, and secrets that get to be revealed by the player when they feel the time is right. Some of this information is given to you at the beginning as part of your backstory. I prefer not to label my games as having X% of RP and Y% of combat, because that is simply driven by the players. I will have an entire session of RP if that’s what the story calls for, or an entire session of combat. I will let you know that as a result of playing this game you will most likely receive what is at times harsh criticism. There is no ill intent in it, it is just to provide feedback and make you a better player. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. 
Game Listing
Hello I am Hutch. I play the character Nethok In this campaign. We have been playing for about a month and a half now and I personally really enjoy the sessions. I would like to clarify a few things that cross has touched on. First I will touch on sandbox environment. He is true to his word on this. In session 2 we did some things that shifted our original direction by 180. Cross never batted an eye he just rolled with it. I have never felt railroaded or rushed to decisions(sometimes I felt like we should have been rushed). The second idea I would like to talk about is harsh criticism. I think cross works very well with new players and helps to push them to understand the rules. When he feels it is something you should know by now(such as how certain spells work) he will tell you that you need to read the book. The DM of any game puts in way more time than you know. It is completely reasonable in my mind that he/she can expect you to put in some time outside of game day to understand how your character works.
