[LFP] [PAID] [5E] New player friendly - The Maiden, The Mother, The Crone - Tuesdays or Saturdays

The Maiden, The Mother, The Crone Elias raised his countenance from the bowl, a frantic look in his eye.&nbsp; “This cannot be. No no, not yet,” he forced through clenched teeth.&nbsp; The sweat had&nbsp;begun to bead upon his brow and the telltale tightness had spread throughout his chest.&nbsp; He gazed at the cage in the corner intently, seemingly lost to the urgency of the current situation.&nbsp; Just as quickly, his eyes regained focus and he muttered, “Just this last time,&nbsp; old boy, one last time.”&nbsp; Opening the small wooden cage, Elias removed a small mongoose.&nbsp; He stroked the wiry frame gently and slipped a small piece of parchment into the battered enclosure resting tightly around Hovind’s neck.&nbsp; This was not the first time the creature had delivered news from the Scryer but never had so much ridden on his experience.&nbsp; Elias began to whisper into Hovind’s ear and then set him on the unkept floor.&nbsp; Almost instinctively, the creature made for the hole in the floor and was gone.&nbsp; “One last time…” Elias muttered to no one. Closing his eyes, he began to massage the pain in his arm. Hovind was in his element.&nbsp; The wind was at his back and the night spoke volumes of information to a willing ear.&nbsp; The forest symphony beckoned him to play, to dance, to feast.&nbsp; He blocked it out.&nbsp; &nbsp;No time to stop.&nbsp; He had a message for the Crone.

I am willing to change my character to stay in. When I said I wasn't willing to change some things I meant that I knew that my character wouldn't mold perfectly into the game. Not that I wasn't willing to play if these things weren't allowed. please send me another invite what you have seen is the furthest I can reach in your campaign.

Hi, I'd be interested to join, please send me a message to tell me how to procede. A bit aboot me: I'm 23 years old, I have 8 years of experience on 5e, roll20 and customs systems, I am very compliant and Talkable aboot any issues, I may a bit shy at first but it doesn't stick for long, I can play any role, and I can let people have their spotlight. hope to hear from you soon!

Hey Tom. &nbsp;I’m a 50y/o who is looking to get back into the game after quite a while. &nbsp;I’d love to join a new group. &nbsp;I love the role play and the combat in equal measure. &nbsp;Tuesday’s are best for me. &nbsp;Thanks.&nbsp;

Hey guys I just got kicked out because the DM thought I wasn't willing to play without certain character features so lets see what the DM says

Logan: Your reply to me in your character sheet was to paraphrase "no, my character definitely was as I told in my backstory and not what you changed it to." In other words,&nbsp; you wanted to add evil crusades in the name of good entities and that is not compatible.&nbsp; When I changed that you told me no.&nbsp; This is the message I sent you. The edit is reflective of seeing your note in the character sheet---- I have your character sheet tidy and I looked over your back story and made a changes to reflect the game world. There is no conflict between messengers of good and the plane of Ktisis. So there was never a crusade for Lothan. The laws of reality reflect the laws of Lothan, which would actually be the law of Yah. So the conflict/crusade that occurred was under Abbadon, self serving, capricious and callous. You and your friend escaped and left that behind. Also Paladins in this world are lawful.&nbsp; I thought that was a given, but saw you chose neutral.&nbsp; You can be lawful good or lawful neutral as a Paladin in this game world. EDIT -&nbsp; Hey there,&nbsp; &nbsp;I saw your DM note on the character sheet and determined that your character will not be compatible with this campaign.&nbsp; That means this campaign is not for you.&nbsp; This is why session zero is so important.&nbsp; I wish you the best and am sure you'll find a more suitable campaign.&nbsp; I have removed you from the campaign and wish you the best. I am sorry it didn't work out. Thanks! Tom Now seeing how you reacted to that response, I am convinced it was the right choice.&nbsp; There is to be no player drama and I am happy, for you and myself both, that we discovered this incompatibility at session zero. I do wish you the best and I am sure you will find a campaign where you fit in.&nbsp; I am sorry if you feel slighted, that is not my intention. Well Wishes, Tom

Ok but consider this: I'm no choosing beggar. I don't care what I play as long as I can play the campaign that I prepared for weeks for and the game that I prepared for months for. I can only play late at night on the weekends and I tried to use a evil counsel of a good messenger to be entertaining but I will make a whole new character if it means playing one of the only D&amp;D games I can in quarantine. But I'm probably too late and you found my replacement with my luck so it doesn't matter anyway.
