[LFP] Lost mines of Phandelver - Group for newbies!

New to D&D?  Have a lot of questions and don't know where to start? I hear you.  I was in the same spot a while ago, and I'm starting a Lost Mines group for beginners.  I live in Phoenix and was thinking 8:00PM Friday evening which is Mountain Standard Time.  Plan 1.5 hours for character creation (if you've never done it) and another 2 hours to start the adventure.  I only have one rule, and that's either standard array or point-buy for stats, but beyond that make what you want to play.  Or, come with some idea, and we can hammer through it.  I use Discord and Roll20, but no video.  Let me know! Oh, looking at capping group at 5 players.

Hi! Brand new looking for a group to start my first campaign and this seems like a good starting group. I'm CST so I'm only an hour ahead of you, and Friday will make it super easy. My discord is: cheese_wizard #6914

Hey im interested in joining as well! My discord is P4R4G0N#3014 My schedule  us always open!

Hey would love to get in on this please :D my discord is  Code1ne#5239 

I am very interested in joining as I am a total noob to this all, hoping for some guidance.

Also interested. My discord is Wabbajack4Life#9443

Ok, Ben, I have you as an alternate.  Everyone starting from Tony on up, go through and pick your race / class and post here so we can sort through it.  Don't worry about building all of the stats if you are new, just focus on who you envision as your character and let me know.  Ben, make yours too, just in case someone cant make it!  

Thinking of doing a Human ranger Variant (if u allow says in PHB to ask DM) or a dragonborn bard , got 2 options incase the other suits the party better

I was thinking Human Paladin, but open for anything really.

Variants allowed!

I'll message you all with my discord link when I'm home.

Half-orc Barbarian or if need be a Human Necromancer?

I am down to play and in the same time zone, that is a plus! I will play pretty much anything and it has been a while so I am rusty!

I'm thinking tiefling warlock. Ease myself into a caster-class with a group that can help explain it, while not being as complicated as a wizard. I think. If that doesn't pan out, I'll be a wood elf rogue.

I was wanting to go Orc Barbarian as a barbarian is a relatively easy class to pick up. I recently read volos and found the races there to be quite interesting. Im willing to play any class that is needed.

You guys play what sounds interesting to you.
