Welcome to Crossgar, where everything is 2 days apart and karma points matter! Are you bright eyed and bushy tailed? Be prepared not to be!&nbsp; We have fun, friends, and Life Long Curses. All players welcome, regardless of experience. We are LGBT friendly and use lots of adult humor. Game Description Our game is played a little differently. The majority of our game is done through DM led discord sessions where we players suffer through the devious perils thrown our way (you know... gorgons, giants with a serious stink eye, and hordes of Kenku assassins). The other part of our game is text based rp during the downtime where we players have conversations, interact, and learn about each other. It is a great balance that allows us to get our fix for rp even when we aren't in the session itself.&nbsp; What you should expect: Craziness, poor character decisions/impulse control, the party generally wanting to do the right thing in a cruel world, adventure, and fun! &nbsp;Also lots of yelling, laughter, crying... a lot of crying... so much crying... but only because of the way our characters grow throughout our story. &nbsp; You should also expect for the story to be influenced heavily by your decisions, and sometimes those decisions have consequences. Jokes become reality, be careful when you joke about something, because it can come true! Expect lots of adult oriented humor. It just never ends.&nbsp; &nbsp; About the world &nbsp; You are in the Kingdom of Ulster. There are 6 ruling lords, and 1 king. One of the Lords, the Lord of Down, Lord Haversham has declared rebellion however. There are purges of those suspected of necromancy and witchcraft. To be honest, we don't want to give a lot away, as we think it's way cooler for your character to find out in game from the other characters &nbsp; About our current PC’s &nbsp; Silaqui is a bit of a mess, but mostly because she lives a life of adventure, irresponsibility, and fun. She’s a 26 year old, half-elf gladiator (Bard class) and is super excited for adventure. Silaqui spent the majority of her childhood at an orphanage, Elvish being the only holdout from her parents. She’s fairly well traveled and enjoys being the center of attention and loves finding it by being Extra in all she does. She met the boys not too long ago and not having anything better to do as she tracks down her rival, she joined on their adventure. &nbsp; Camren is a sex-crazed, teenage, farm boy that found his way off the farm into the world in an explosive mess. As often happens in a small town, Cam wanted to escape the boring little village, and explore the world. Making a pact with a beautiful celestial seemed like an easy way to make his dream come true,&nbsp; but when you don't know the conditions of your pact... it becomes difficult. Now, he struggles to walk the line of being the hero he wants to be and the monster that his powerful benefactor desires. One step from the edge, he depends on his friends to keep him grounded, and remind him that he is still human. &nbsp; Joren is the human personification of a golden retriever. He likes to think that he's a good person, but the more time he spends outside of Crossgar, the less he really believes that. Rather, he's willing to do whatever he needs to in order to protect his friends, no matter what the cost is. As the youngest of the group, he's not always prepared for the things this world has thrown at him. Regardless, he is loyal to a fault and sometimes lets that loyalty cause him to rush into situations willy-nilly. &nbsp; About some of the NPC’s Calypso: A celestial of lust that doesn't understand what it truly means to be helpful. She's bent on returning to her home plane, but she's got work to do before she can get there. Annoying, selfish, and a really good lay. Just dont let her wiles distract you, the price can be soul shattering. Kethra DiMore (aka the new wife to Lord Haversham) is Joren's Super Nice mom. She left when he was a kid because raising children is a waste of time and her husband was a real milkweed. Now that she's the new lady of the land, she's pretty sure that means she can do anything she wants, including set up marriages for her estranged son, flirt with anyone she feels like, and take up new hobbies like learning about the undead. 0/10, would not suggest friendship. About the DM and DMing style: · &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; You will get lots of loot and magic items · &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Your backstory will be woven into the story… Don’t Put anything or anyone there you don’t want to be in the story. · &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There is character death.&nbsp; We will try to make it meaningful/impactful , but sometimes people die. · &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Events happen at a break neck speed · &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; DM is open to most suggestions and takes feedback pretty well · &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The DM and the rest of the gang are human. We make mistakes. When we do, we talk about it and say sorry. &nbsp; What kind of player and character we want Your character can be secretive and mysterious, but they still need to be approachable/likable. If you can't do both, stick with approachable/likable. You can make secrets later. Keep your meta knowledge meta. Don't let it interfere with your character choices.&nbsp; &nbsp; If you want to play this game, you should have a fairly good sense of humor. I know good is subjective, but we make a lot of jokes and sometimes get off track, so maybe a relaxed sense of humor is a better description. Also we are LGBT friendly , so you should be too. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. We’re pretty cool about that and often make our own mistakes. You’ll probably want a character to be sort of flexible. It’ll be easier to fit into where the story is now—which is basically a bit of a mess for the characters (but a great mess). If you’re here strictly to beat up things, probably not the campaign for you. Also if all you don’t want to fight things, probably not the campaign for you. We do a fair balance of both and a lot of character development happens in the role-playing but a good amount of plots involve fighting. If getting sidetracked bothers you, it might be better to pass. It doesn’t happen often but we enjoy playing and chatting with one another so we can sometimes get to talking, but mostly stay on topic and on track. Time and Technology We normally play on roll 20 and use discord for audio. We only play when everyone is available. We found this makes for a more immersive experience as everyone is there every session. This does mean some variance in the schedule. We usually play every couple of weeks. Time is fairly flexible but the best time we’ve found for consistency is Friday, 11p CST. Conclusion (kind of) We had a long discussion about whether we wanted new players. The conclusion we came to, was it had to be the right kind of players. We will keep this open for as long as we need to do to find the right people. Please don’t be offended if you don’t get picked, because we are going to be very picky. If you have read all of this and you want to be a part of it please write: · &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; About why you want to join · &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What you like/dislike in games · &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A little about yourself · &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Anything else you want to add <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/135664/crossgar-campaign" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/135664/crossgar-campaign</a> &nbsp; Myself, Kate, Dani and Bax will come and check in on this regularly. If we like the sound of your application , we will invite you for a chat on discord to meet us, so we can get an impression! &nbsp; Thanks for reading

This sounds right up my alley so here goes nothing! To start with, and i think this is the most concise and to the point; I'd like to be able to play, now hold up, I know that I said concise, but let me elaborate a teency bit, for the past 3 years i've been predominantly a DM and as a result i've had very limited chances to actually play the game. I've had a good long look around, trying to find a group that A. works well with my british time zone, and 2. peaks my interest for wanton adventure and detailed character interactions with a theme that sounds perfectly tailored to my love of all things dark and gritty (I like me some witches!). This campaign manages to fit both! though the start time for me is a touch early, it's a fair shout more comfortable than having to wake up at 1-2 AM, given that lately all i've managed to find are US based games. Having a game at this time also means that it's not going to interfere with my work schedule! so that's a minute added bonus as well.&nbsp; I'm an easy person to please, so there arnt inherently many things I do and dont like, but my -preferences- are for a group to be tolerant, patient (especially considering i'm a scrub when it comes to actually playing the game) and most of all, in it for the fun!&nbsp; As for myself? My name is Katie, i'm a Brit, i'm a freelance artist that tends to doodle alittle too much for my own good, usually between work coming up with whimsical ideas for character concepts, some of which became illustrated for my own group and some of which were just spontaneous fun. I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule most days so waking up super early, while maybe losing my beauty sleep, would'nt be a massive concern for me. As previously mentioned i've been a DM more than a player, with just coming up to 4 years of play I originally had an odd distaste for RPG's and the like, but after being eeked out of my shell by my friends, I got addicted, and so here I am. Thanks for the consideration!&nbsp; · &nbsp;
Hey! Bax AKA Cam here. Just wanted to remind you.... Don't be shy! Reply!
Woo! I'm Dani a.k.a. Silaqui! We're pretty chill, so like Bax said, don't be afraid to reply!
&nbsp; &nbsp; This definitely sounds like a game I would be interested in . I am looking to come back to DnD after a bit of time away. I have been a DM more than I have been a player and I really want to dive back into playing. The world sound interesting, plus there is the phrasing about necromancy which sounds like you all have something up your sleeve that could prove to be intriguing. The focus on role playing is definitely something that I want in a game. I find that it makes the game so much better to be able to build up a backstory and have it included. The fact that you are openly LGBT+ friendly is amazing and something that drew me to your posting. I like my games to be collective storytelling as opposed to hyper-rules focus. I know that the rules are there to help give order and boundaries, but sometimes I have tended to bend (if not break) rules in order for the story elements to be as good as they can be. I like a group that can joke around while not being horribly discriminatory. My name is Chris and I am a middle school gifted and English teacher in a town in the middle of nowhere New Mexico. I tend to be night owl. If there is anything else that ya'll would like to know just let me know!&nbsp;
SUP KIDS. I'm Squid and I'm here to say that I work too much, sleep too little, and complain about drivers that don't merge properly. Clearly you should all apply and play with us. (Also hello to Katie and Chris!)

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; This game sounds amazing and includes everything I enjoy in a good game. This party sounds like something I won't have to worry about being myself with and that is personally super important. The general lay out of the world and players was very helpful and tells me that you will be a great DM that I won't have to worry about playing a character that is a bit different or odd. What I like most in games, is generally a good balance of RP/Combat. I (this is just me personally) Don't like to double up on a class someone else already has. That's how I was taught and it weeds out the need for at least one of the characters (in most cases). I'm not a very picky player and just enjoy the experiences and new people I meet along the way! You can't have a good game with only characters that get along, the players outside of the game also have to have a good relationship! I have met some of my best friends through joys of this game! Now it comes to the awkward part, me! Hi, I'm Aerie. (but you could have probably read that from my name (oh the hue-manatee what am I saying.) I have a very quirky personality and would probably be right on bus with most of that derailing. As far as LGBT+ friendly, that you don't have to worry about with me! As one of my friends like to say **cough, cough** I'm Hella gay. I do alot of theatre and voice acting, so expect cooky voices and backstories to quickly come your way. I'm fairly certain, there's nothing else I can say at this point *reader clicks away* but wait there's more! *reader pokes head back into doorway* Sorry all I wanted to say is, I'm sorry if the last part seemed weird (which I am) but I thought I'd have a bit of fun with it! Thank you so much for spending time out of your day to read whatever it is I had to say! You are simply an amazing person! And I hope you have a great rest of your day! *gives anime head tilt smile with eyes shut thing*
We've got a few applicants, but we don't mind a few more. If you're interested, then make sure to apply! We will be doing interviews soon!
Hi everyone. Thanks for all the interest, but we have found our 2 players. Good luck to everyone else. Mods you can shut this down.
