Hi all I am a 31 year old father of two who has always dreamed of playing D&D or Pathfinder. I work from home so have open availability my time zone is eastern USA. I have read tons of D&D books and other fantasy and most D&D games so have a rather broad knowledge of the game for a newbie. Anyway to the point. Looking for a group to maybe take me in or something along those lines. I'm not really sure how this goes. I tried to go game stores but finding. Babysitter can be difficult. My wife would also be done to join games. Thanks and sorry for the rambling.
Hey, I'd be down for helping you. I'm getting a game going with two other players that I've known for a long time. We're by no means experts, but we're happy to have new players. We're starting a Wednesday Night Game (Central Standard Time) that will meet maybe not every Wednesday, but probably at least every other based on when people are available.  I'm really more concerned about if someones a chill person who's fun to hang out with over their knowledge of the game. I'm trying to start a low level campaign (level 2) that runs for a long time and possibly meet new cool people for future games. I tend to go more player choice and freedom over grand narrative. We tend to roleplay at least as much as we have combat, so if you're more combat intensive you may not like it, and all that I ask is that you play nice with the other players and make a generally good character who's not going to try to murder/rob the party and sabotage everyone.  Lorewise, I don't stick to D&D lore very strictly, but use it more as a template and may either get some things wrong or have some stuff that I've made up for it. So I wanted to say that as a heads up in case that bothered you. I'm pretty flexible and happy to let players adapt and grow the world with me. I'm just not that married to Forgotten Realms canon. 
Hey that all sounds awesome to me. Wednesday should be no problem with me. Even though I'm getting a tooth pulled this Wednesday. I'm perfectly ok with the story going off canon or whatever makes it more original. I'm looking at a chaotic good or close to it character. I feel more personally entwined with the ranger but I am open to paladin or monk.
I have been running a homebrew game on a planet of Turea and of as now we are playing in a large jungle continent call Caliph (my version of Chult) there is no death curse but instead something is spurring the Undead.... Caliph only has one settlement, Alimsar. The grand city of all the races under the command of the Merchant Council/Merchant Lords, one from each nation. Alimsar is the only safeguard from the ancient jungle and the undead that haunt it. Beyond that is the Giant Lands where the giants dwell. The party is there searched for some ruins called "Deadwatch" where they hope to find this figured named "Kraltrayus" down in the Underdark. Unfortunately Deadwatch was not a way to the Underdark but to Manifest, a city run by a  friendly ish lich who built the "Soulmonger" to retrieve souls to make them do work for him and things went messy after that. The Lich did gave the party however and from here it all what is below the very ground. The party consists of - a Human Warlock - an Aasimar Cleric/Paladin - A Dragonborn Fighter - A Human Bard - Warforged Monk And had just hit level 8. PLEASE ONLY JOIN IF YOU CAN MAKE IT ALMOST EVERY WEEK. I understand that we have lives but I made my world spending hours of my time, I require atleast some commitment.  We have a discord which if this sounds interesting you'll get when you'll join. And I will also give you access to a map of my World. We have a discord which if this sounds interesting you'll get when you'll join. I'm EST and are running a TEXT only game due being speech impaired and I require SOME commitment with my players to make it to most sessions, I understand that you have a life but I built this world spending hours of my time.
