[LFG] [5e] [gmt+2] [18+] First timer looking for a long term group

What I'd like to do is to find a group that: -leans towards the story and roleplay aspects of the game, though i don't mind some delving into optimization of mechanics either. -is up for long term games (naturaly i'm ready to do some shorter things to get started, i'm first timer afterall). -can bear with me (a new player), questions (about magic, the world and wether a severed ghoul finger tied to a stick can still paralyze a bunny) and copious amounts of creative spells (i find the concept of spells like prestidigitation, shape water, and illusions simply fascinating, minor attempts at "breaking" them are to be expected) Now, if that didn't scare you away, here's a little bit about me. I'm 27, and have never played a tabletop rpg in my life. I'm very familiar with pc games though, and have quite a bit of experience with board games aswell. I've read many of the books based on forgotten realms and dragon lance, as well as multitude of other fantasy/sci-fi series. As for the potential game i'd be joining, as said above i'm up for shorter one shots or trial runs. Although i'd prefer to join a new campaign, i'm not against joining an ongoing one (i have  this concept of lvl0 warlock i'd want to try if that's the case). Any module, quest or story is acceptable, they're all new to me, and homebrew worlds are a ok in my books. Paid DMing is not on the table unless said DM is VERY persuasive. Preferrable times are saturday night, and all of sunday, as those are the ones that i'm almost certainly available. Other times i can make happen, with some chance of having to skip session or two. I can be contacted via this thread or my brand spanking new discord Strang#6513

Hello there! I've been looking for a long term group myself! I meet your prerequisites so I'll just post about myself and my latest character! Name: Dylan Ricker Age: 21 Gender: Male Experience: I played a semester long game with my friends in college and it was the most fun tabletop gaming experience I've ever had. I play cleric almost exclusively so I can perform roles that other players may not be interested in. What I want out of the game: I would like a fun environment in which we could all come to grow and develop friendships. My dream game is one that goes on until we are all old men and women, and I think this is that game! Character Name: Kurzrin Irontower Race: Mountain Dwarf Age: 36 Gender: Male Class(s): Cleric ( the domains I pick will be based of what the other players decide they want to do) Backstory Summary: Kurzrin of the Irontower clan is a stoic dwarf and a loyal friend. Adopted by the clan patron from poverty, Kurzrin was raised under watchful eyes and pressure befitting of the denizens of a mountain keep. Able to pass tests with relative ease due to his innate cunning and ability, he glided through his training as a Cleric and impressed citizens with his talents, but disgraced his elders with his relaxed and carefree approach to his training. Around the age of 24, his training was reaching an end, and his final test was approaching. He would be given a small contingent of miners to look after on their trip to the deepest mines of the mountain, where goblins often lurked. The goblins were no big threat but if left unchecked they would surely be able to overrun the miners and take their lives. As he did with all things, Kurzrin didn't take his test seriously and let himself get tricked by the goblins to lower his guard from the miners for a moment. And a moment was all it took, a hidden war-band of goblins struck from the shadows and wiped out Kurzrin's team of miners. Filled with rage and the pangs of failure to protect his kin, Kurzrin fought off the other marauding goblins recklessly and without caution. Completely unaware of an archer taking aim, Kurzrin lost his left eye during his rampage, and was forced to retreat defeated. Failures had happened before as nobody expected perfection, but Kurzrin's outright carelessness was a point of deep shame from the Irontower Clan. Instead of Kurzrin getting a newly forged war mace, he received the hammer of one of his fallen miners, and his new eye patch was made from leather stained with the blood of those who trusted him to protect them. Kurzin was cast out of the mountain and discharged from the Irontower clan, and told he could only return when he had amassed the gold to pay for the funerals of the miners, and with food and ale to last their families the rest of their lives. Personality: Kurzrin is incredibly cautious about his co-workers being injured, to the point where he has been known to throw himself in front of incoming attacks, even when they would do no good. He rarely let's his guard down, but when he does he is a party animal. A lover of tales and stories of grandeur, Kurzrin will be the first to tell legends of the kingdom in which he grew up in, and the last to put out the campfire. Anything else you would like to add: I'm just so excited to meet and play with you guys c: ! My discord is Dylun c;#8546 if you'd like to get in touch!
