New DM Looking to put together a group. Mon Tues or Thurs Night 8PST Using "Exile 3 Ruined World" world and classic tilesets for maps

Hello Roll20, I have been playing DND pretty steadily on Roll20 and a home game for the past year and I have been putting together an idea for the world I want to run as a dm with DND. It is Exile 3 Ruined World. More currently known as Avernum. Exile 3 was the game I loved growing up and did not even realize how much DND was the game that I wanted to play after I could not find any other game like it. I have been toiling away at recreating all the maps and making new ones using the same tilesets from the classic version of the game. I am getting close to having enough comfortably premade to get a group started and will continue to build the world and change it as the adventure unfolds. I am planning on using this and the start of the storyline as the beginning of this DND adventure. General Information about Exile 3: You are a group of adventures tasked with venturing out into the surface world after having been part of a group known as exiles who were banished by the Empire into a subterranean world. Being filled with all kinds of various backgrounds Exiles eventually started working together to build their own civilization. Ultimately though they wanted to return to the surface and get back at the Empire who banished them. They have set up a homebase in the lesser populated area of Valorim south of the larger populated areas of the Empire. Here is where the story begins. Character Backstories: This world is primarily populated by humans. However there are still small pockets of elves and dwarves, as well as Nephilim (Tabaxi) and Slithrekai (Lizardfolk). You character should follow somewhat within these guidelines with either growing up undergroud in Avernum (Exile) or having a reason they were banished from the Empire to Exile. I would like to start getting some feedback and discuss my plans for this campaign with anyone who is interested. I have created numerous documents with a baseline to start with but am fully flexible to tailor the specific adventure to the players. The current plan is for this to be a fairly combat heavy game (due to the style of gameplay in the original game) however roleplaying will be strongly encouraged and rewarded. Also the entire world will be created (if all goes to plan) using the tilesets so theatre of mind will be limited unless desired where maps will be used only as needed or for battles. There will be an over 500x500 overworld map with over 100 planned cities/dungeons created. It will be up to you to determine where you go. Each area would have predetermined events and difficulties with a primarily storyline to be unfolded, which I fully expect to change soon after starting. Also if desired there will be an option for every battle for the players to choose the difficulty of each encounter from Normal, Hard, Torment. Choosing the higher difficulties will generate harder units but greater rewards. Game will be ran over discord using Roll20, exact night is TBD but see possible times in the title. I have other ideas but I wanted to start hashing out details and not just doing it on my own decisions but tailoring to those who would be interested in this concept. Also I wanted feedback on the possibilities of how this will work out or whether anyone else has run an essentially remake of a video game into Roll 20 just using DND mechanics.

Player Name : Orion Player Age : 20 Character Name : Fueryon the Slithrekai (ie. Beast) Character Class:  [I assume it's D&D 5e] Druid (Moon if I get to choose but any works) Character Backstory : My family line existed within the Exile sence before the Slithrekai were one of their 'friendly races' and before the Slithrekai wars that made our kind week. My ancestors are those who worshiped the Demons... I don't know this though because before I was born, my mother and father tried to escape the Exiles(where they were born) but were chased down by Empire soldiers with my egg. My parents ended up dead and my mother hid my egg in the woods, in hopes for me to survive and get away from our clan. I survived for 10 years in the forests and swamps outside the Empire's eyes. I became one with nature and was taught the only laws that matter, the Law on Survival of the Fittest. It was only when Empire Soldiers captured me and sent me to the main Exile community cave system. There I was adopted into a family that taught me the basics of the world and now I am 22 and am missing the wilds that taught me how to survive. I sometimes feel the animals, whom lives I took to sustain myself, within me. I think that they guide me in my times of need. I assume this game will be in 5th edition but if not, just tell me. Also, I have an existing Discord and am proficient in Roll20. Just PM me for my Discord.
