[DnD 5e] Looking for players!

Hi! I'm a DM with about a year worth of experience that is looking to start a new group. I currently have two out of my desired minimum of four players. The campaign will be taking place in a homebrew world with a homebrew pantheon. It's the standard medieval fantasy setting with minimal technology. Despite the homebrew nature of the world, the races, classes, and backgrounds of the characters have to abide by the official releases of DnD.  I'm not 100% sure how I want my campaign to be yet, but my inspiration comes from H. P. Lovecraft's work. It won't be completely Lovecraftian, but I want to implement the feeling of powerlessness into my campaign. Even so, I don't intend it to get depressing! I really want my players to feel a sense of accomplishment despite the underlying threats. I'm a very rule-of-cool kinda DM. If you're interested in joining, I have some requirements: *You can't be new to DnD. My experience with new players is that it takes longer to get used to working with a group and that I have to baby them into the rules and mechanics. I'd prefer to keep away from that for this campaign, as I've had to do that with every other campaign I've run. I'd really appreciate a break where we can just play and weave a story together!  *You need to like roleplaying . Character interaction and development is essential for a good story and group dynamic! *You need to communicate.  Communication is the most essential aspect of being in a group. That's how we plan game dates! It's also very important to be open about situations in the game that makes you uncomfortable as a player. A lot of problems can be fixed when you openly communicate your thoughts and feelings! *Don't be the rule's lawyer. Knowing the rules is well and swell, but if I need help with the rules I'll ask. I know I'm not as experienced as a lot of other DMs out there, but I prioritize the experience over rules. If that would ruin your experience of the game, this isn't the campaign for you. Like I've mentioned, I'm a very rule-of-cool kinda DM. If the rules get in the way of our experience, I'd rather not follow them. That doesn't mean the rules are out the window; they'll be followed most of the time.  *Please don't be THAT GUY. You know the one; the guy who steals from other players; the guy who picks a fight with everyone; the guy who pickpockets everyone; the guy who metagames, that guy who table talks and never pays attention. Don't be that guy. *Don't be the maximizer. I understand the desire to want to make sure your character is strong and able to survive the many dangers I put you through, but this is a roleplaying game; flaws are just as valuable as strengths! Having one or more sucky stats allows the other players to take the spotlight and show their many useful abilities. Besides, having bad stats can make for HILLARIOUS moments!  ADDITIONAL INFO *I don't know when we'll start playing. The campaign is still in the idea phase, and I'm not even sure if I'll ACTUALLY go through with the campaign. It's nice to keep this in mind. Other than that, I usually schedule games every other week, because I like to have a lot of time to prepare things.  *There's diversity at the table. I'm Norwegian, but the game will be in English. I consider myself fluent, but like all humans, I make mistakes. I've been told I don't have that much of an accent when I'm focused, but I slip up at times. Expect people to have different nationalities. I'm also a female and a part of the LGBT community. I expect my players to respect each other and not discriminate, as I want our group to be a safe and inclusive environment. I think that's about it for now! We'll be playing on Roll20 and talk via voice chat on discord. So if you're looking to join an inclusive group and have a good time with some nice people, please introduce yourself! Tell me a little bit about what kind of adventures you like, what kind of characters you like to play and why you'd like to join! Note down your name(or a nickname), approximate age and pronouns too! As for me, my nickname is Ace. I'm 18 and use she/her. Looking forward to making your acquaintance!
Hello, i'm Adam! I am looking for a long term 5e campaign with a weekday evening schedule. I am available to play 5p-1a EST. I have roughly 7 months of game play experience in 5e via White plum Mountain and  Curse of Strahd that is still active so I am not available Thursday nights. I try hard to stay true to my player character with out squelching other players game play. Message me here or on Discord if you are interested. Adam294#3487 Character 1 concept: Lvl 1 Life Cleric / Monk (Way of the Sun Soul) Neutral Good Human Spear Master  Markas a disciple of Lathander grew up as an orphan in the Order of the Sun Soul monastery. Markas was raised by Kulth a cleric of The Morninglord. Kulth and Markas worked side by side curing ailments, binding wounds, mending bones with the blessing of Lathander. The monastery provides medical care, spiritual guidance and food for the poor of Everlund. Over the years Markas tended to street children of Everlund, children coming in with the same injuries time and time again. Clear signs of beatings and general abuse. After seeing regular cruelty beset upon the weak and underprivileged Markas began to train. Under the resident Monks of the Sun Soul monastery Markas made his body an instrument to defend the weak. Rather than treat symptoms of cruelty Markas decided attack cruelty its self.  Character 2 concept: Lvl 5 Barbarian / Druid (Circle of the Moon) Neutral Evil Goliath(or Half-Orc) raider  Rolof is a selfish raider of the dread fang tribe, he values power above all. (could be on a quest to hunt down humanoid prey that escaped and joined a group of adventures for strength in numbers while he tracks his prey)

Hi, my name is Ivan (nickname Bloody) and I am 25 y.o. guy from Slovakia (Europe, GMT+2 or CET).I have been working as Software Engineer for 2 years, I like to cook (eat :D) and play PC games. He/his. Player Characters: I love to create new characters. Most of them are female, usually between 16-25 y.o. and less charismatic (I have somewhat young soft weird voice). Also  I am more than open to combine parts of my backstory with other party member/s too. EDIT: I know you allow only official stuff. Just skimm through and if all of them would be an problem, just ignore my application. I am pushing to the UA and I am ready to nerf anything that needs to be nerfed. I just love those unique combinations from roleplaying and backstory point of view. Some concepts I have prepared (just some basic info, we can talk in more depth later): 1. Zoe - Revised Ranger (Beast Conclave). Red tiefling girl that grew up with goblins and some unknown people are going after her. There is a secret story about her parents and reasoning of leaving her in the forest + relationship with her devil ancestor and her parents). She has an pet spider named Achu that she found after venom-hunters killed his mother and other spider-babies. 2. Kino - Druid (Circle of Spores). Girl that got lost in caverns and found civilisation of myconids (fungal people). They saved her from their common enemies (I am thinking about something that could eat fungus, Umber Hulk). For her unknown reasons Demon Lord - Zuggtmoy (Queen of Fungi) gains control over her friends and she is forced to escape and find help. (PS: Spores did their job and "mutated" her a little bit so she looks even without Fungal Wild Shape a little bit like an fungi). 3. Jorah - Fighter (Battle Master). Older bull Minotaur that has been working as city watch in a big human city. He is a little bit lonely as he is the only one of his race that lives there. He moved from mountains where his family lives peacefuly. He is VERY protective and is willing to take some hits for things he believes are right. Also he can be intimidating if he wants to. Weapons of choice - huge rectangle shield and battle-axe. (PS: This might be an challenge for me as I am not sure how my deep voice is gonna work, but I am looking forward to it) 4. Latest concept, Warlock (Great Old One, Blade pact). Has pact with obyrith Dagon (Prince of the Depths). Theme would be focused around kraken-like tentacles, deep ocean, cold/ice/frost. His pact weapon is gonna be an 2hand sword that looks like an sharpened tooth of some huge underwater creature. (PS: I am planning to make an dark/breathy voice for telepathy and RP around it a lot) Experience:  My first game had started 16.2.2018 so +-5 months. I am also an Critical Role fan (+-40 episodes seen). I know everything I need to know. Availability:  Monday - Thursday: 6:00PM to about 1:00AM (GMT+2). Saturday: Anytime (till like 2:00 AM).  Style of Play:  I like both RP and combat. I would love to explore interesting places and meet interesting NPCs. Contact info:  Discord:  Bloody#2975  (or PM on roll20) 
Hi Ace, you can call me Sunny [she/her, mid-20s, US]. I've been playing D&D upwards of three years. My favorite characters have been those who experience brokenness and hurt yet find the strength to continue hoping. dc handle: sunny#9574 I hope you don't mind, I came up with a small backstory for a potential character, though I'm open to alterations or making a new one. (;●w●) Myra [Former Name???] Human Ranger [Horizon Walker, UA] Amongst births, Myra's was curious, which could be expected of a baby whose life was signed over before life. Joys of warlock parents with the ethical sensibilities of Those they served. A portal between planes welcomed her at exit of the womb and she went through screaming as babies do, directly into the tendrils of unspeakable cosmic. Myra's childhood remains a fog  concretely barred from the realm of her conscious mind. Her earliest memory was within young teenage years.  Myra awoke to the smell of air and forest and oxygen and nearly choked as she coughed on air. The light was blinding, the voice speaking to her in a foreign tongue. Bormel looked at the little planeswalker in abject horror. It was too obvious she'd never experienced the primaterial plane. Why had she been coughed out ? What was she ? As Bormel set a blanket down and took vow as a protector against extraplanar threats to discover Myra's past the underside of their nails grew paler. The more invested in teaching Myra they became, the worse their health grew. But nonetheless they persisted, named the girl, and Myra learned readily.
Hey there Ace, I'm Daniel, aka as Yoh. (which I prefer) Been playing D&D for about 5-6 months now.  Reasonably experienced as I've been throwing myself into the game for awhile, and I tend to research everything and anything related to 5e.   I'm pretty flexible as so far as schedule and characters go.  Schedule wise, as so long as I am awake, I can find time to set aside and play.  +12 GMT. I live in New Zealand. Character wise, I'm willing to play most anything aside from fighter, leaning towards casters more often then not.  I enjoy creative solutions to problems. I also enjoy making my characters purposely weak in some regard, as it makes for better story telling working around a weakness.  While I have a variety of character concepts in mind, it depends on what the starting level is, and what everybody else decides to play, as I often tend to fill. I tend to have a loose idea of who my character is to begin with, then learn about them and grow them as we play.  Feels more organic. Voice chat is all very well and good, but if at all possible, webcam is  preferably   , as it tends to in my experience, bring the party closer together. That, and actually talking to each other between sessions.
