[LFP][5e][Free] War of the Burning Monday Nights EST

"The King has been killed; the people who've taken his place are tyrants, and you're trying to reclaim his throne and his dignity. " We will be playing the War of the Burning module, party is currently fourth level. More will be revealed in your 1 on 1 with me via discord, so feel free to prepare some questions for me. Disclaimer - I've put a lot of time and effort not only into this campaign but into this post in order to successfully provide a fun environment come game day. You are expected to read the entire post and reasonably meet every expectation listed below in order to prove to me that you are willing to put forth the effort to make this game fun for everyone. If it's blatantly clear to me that you don't intend to take this seriously in either your application or your 1-on-1 with me via discord, you will not be invited to this game. Thank you for reading, and I hope the below piques your interest. Character creation - I allow homebrew races and classes (though they are subject to my tampering). Loxodon are disallowed and dragonborn are discouraged.  - Evil characters, brooders, loners, and characters that are disinclined to help the party are discouraged and are unlikely to receive the okay from me. - You may roll for stats 3 times and take the block of your choice. You must roll in front of me if you are rolling. - If you want to retexture or rename anything without changing the mechanics to better suit your character, run it by me and I'll almost definitely say yes. Game Rules - Know how to  play, be it understanding the rules, understanding your alignment, or cooperating with a group. - Be respectful, and exercise good judgment.  - "It's what my character would do," is not a sufficient idiot and/or *sshole pass.  - Enable others to speak, and do not speak over others. If you are domineering the session, you will be asked to stop. House Rules - Beastmaster ranger doesn't need to use any action economy to command their companion. - We use crit rules. - I'm a nice DM and won't be trying to kill your characters but if you fuck up enough i will do what i must. - I have a good memory so things you do might come back to bite you in the butt. - I'm also an idiot. Apply with the format below, and keep in mind that the more effort you put in, the more likely you are to receive an invitation. 5e/RP experience: Character Info      Name:      Race:      Class:       Alignment:       Personality traits:      Backstory: What you're looking for in a group: Discord name and ID number: If I like what I see, I'll pull you into a brief discord call; get to know you, little exposition for your character, etc. Cheers. ~Glor

5e/RP experience: I've played in a Curse of Strahd Campaign that fizzled out toward the end. I've DM'd Lost Mines, Hoard of the Dragon Queen/Rise of Tiamat so I have plenty of experience playing 5e. Character Info  Name: Marcus  Race: Human (Standard)  Class: Fighter  Alignment: Neutral Good  Personality Traits: Any problem can be overcome through cooperation. (Positive) Nothing relaxes like a mug of ale (Neutral). I don't like to talk about my past. (Negative)  Backstory: A former soldier, Marcus couldn't re-acclimate himself to civilian life and thus became an adventurer. He's used to living life on the road and enjoys the camaraderie that comes with working with other adventurers. His goal is to reclaim his lost honor after fleeing in terror from a particularly devastating defeat.  What you are looking for in a group: So long as everyone is respectful to each other, I'm very easy going. I'm okay with roleplay, and I won't stand on anyone's toes. Discord name and ID number: Helix#5744

5e/RP experience: Been playing for 3-4 years at this point, largely as a DM and mostly online. I have rp'd however for around 13 + years and enjoy it immensely. Been looking to get on the other side of the DM screen again to help keep my time with the game fresh.  Character Info - Just an example character, always down to change things once I know more of the world and party.      Name:  Christopher Wakefield      Race: Human      Class: Fighter - Cavalier       Alignment: Lawful Good       Personality traits:   An errant knight of the sorts, Christopher is steadfast in his word, a challenge seeker out to prove himself, his code of honor another challenge to overcome. He is outgoing and wishes to make his name known, but is not a glory seeking braggart, he wishes to build a name that is respected not just one that known. However, his desire for this can often find himself perhaps coming off as a bit headstrong or getting in over his head.      Backstory: Christopher is the 4th son to a rather plain low ranking noble house, with little to his birthright, though he cares deeply for his house and family. Knowing he could do naught for his family name but hope to help his eldest brother in his affairs as he aged, he instead took upon a knighthood and set out into the world, seeking to bolster his family name through the deeds he achieved. He had a typical childhood for a minor noble of the realm, be it one of strife or peace, his bonds with his family only grew as he aged, his elder brothers even saving his life once on a hunt gone wrong. Christopher set out the same day his father passed as his elder brother assumed the seat of their house head, setting on his own path to bring renown to House Wakefield. Sorry if the character seems dry or generic, I try to attach my characters strongly to the world they inhabit but know little of yours at present! What you're looking for in a group: I enjoy pretty much all facets of DnD, hence why I DM so avidly, however my favorite parts of games is exploring the party members and interacting with them as we go. It is well and good to be adventurers going about together, but when things begin to gel and the group shifts from band of people to proper party is when I really enjoy myself as I can watch other characters react to the world and get involved with what they find exciting, which just brings everything to life for me and gives reason to decisions beyond just current tactical benefits or social navigation. Seeing a player take interest to go check out something and offering to watch their back and help enable that moment is really fun. I guess I can surmise it as I look for a group that wants to be a group exploring each others prompts and ideas instead of 4 people chained together dealing with whatever the chains get snagged on as we pull in different directions.

5e/RP experience: A bunch of 3.x experience back in the day; part of 2 ongoing 5e campaigns, one as player one as DM. Character Info      Name: Auleth Tigurones      Race: Tiefling      Class: Rogue/Sorcerer       Alignment: Chaotic Good       Personality traits: Naive in dealing with people yet perceptive in dealing with the world.  Overly optimistic even in the face of severe obstacles.  (I am basing him on the scapegrace-style heroes of Italo Calvino's collection of Italian folktales, who through goodheartedness and wacky abilities overcome challenges to achieve greatness). Backstory:  Auleth is the product of a dalliance between the Crown Prince and the daughter of a certain Duke. It being impolitic to admit to the affair, his father refused to acknowledge him, but out of fear for his evident parentage settled a substantial living upon his mother, provided she exile herself to the frontier. Auleth was thus raised with all the skills of a nobleman, but denied admittance to court. When his father was found murdered with clear demonic signs, suspicion fell upon Auleth, then in his late teens. To protect his mother, he left their home and went adventuring. What you're looking for in a group: We're all here to have fun.  That means cooperative storytelling and problem-solving, helping one another, and an improv theater style attitude of adding to rather than trying to outshine one another's characters.

5e/RP experience: Hello!  my name is Tyler I've been playing TTRPGS for about 5 years and not just 5E, I've also been playing RPGs since I could read. I mainly DM and rarely play, I'm actually running a homebrew Curse of Strand campaign right now that is sadly on hold because of the pandemic. I like to think I have a pretty good memory of the rules of 5E but I will never rules lawyer or DM just be their in case there's a random thing that comes up like what's the component's of a message spell (I know this because I got really bored lol). Character Info  Name: Zulfir      Race: Firbolg  Class: Paladin(Oath of The Ancients)   Alignment: Neutral Good   Personality traits: I envision  Zulfir as a big lovable  loud dunce with a heart of gold I will try to do a Russian  accent and I apologize in advance! I'm thinking of going with a slight tweak of the Outlander background. I would chose pilgrim as my origin so Zulfir would be like a wandering mouth piece for nature. I don't want him to come off as a hippie though more like a big lovable  brute that want's all  life to be respected which includes plants and animals. For example he eats meat but believes  you should hunt that meat down give it a clean death and use every bit of the hide and bones. Instead of the in fact I was raised by wolves trait I want to edit to I was raised by nature, and by that I mean he views Mother Nature as his literal mother. His Ideal would probably  be ( Greater Good)  It is each person's responsibility to make the most happiness for the whole tribe. He genuinely   believes  that everyone should do their best for the outcome of world and if someone needs help doing so he will do all that he can to help them.  For bond I was thinking  I will bring terrible wrath down on the evildoers who harm the world at large especially nature. Last but not least I was thinking  There's no room for caution in a life lived to the fullest.  Backstory: (Imagine this in a thick deep Russian Accent) My name is Zulfir! I travel across the land making sure that the order of life is protected and that all life including beast and plant is respected. I grew up alone in the woods with only our great mother nature to guide me. She taught the generosity of plants that give fruit to eat and wood to build, the respect we should give to the beasts we slay that no meat, bone, or hide should be wasted from their death. She also showed me others who could hear her voice which lead me to strange druids and elves who trained me how to defend myself and others who need protecting. I swore an oath to travel and distribute justice for all manner of man, beast, and plant! Which lead me here, these tyrants have no respect for anything! Their people live in fear, and their land abused of it's resources! I will do everything in my power to stop them and bring balance back to this land! What you're looking for in a group: I love to make strange and loud characters that interact with my fellow players and also the world that the DM has put in front of me. My characters may be boisterous but I will not try to steal the spot light my goal is to mutually tell a cool story with a bunch of cool people while having fun rolling dice and hitting things with an imaginary great sword.

(Surpress the inner evil / call to violence due to heritage)      Backstory: Born to human parents on a remote farm Tali’s Tiefling traits did not emerge until a few years after her birth. Her parents still loved and accepted her but knew that as would live a difficult life once on her own because of appearance. The raised her in secret, and raised her to be kind. And this was good for much of life. Until a new ruler came to be of the nearby town, and sought to rid any “undesirables” fro  his lands. He ordered a full search of all homes no matter how remote. Needless to say she and her parents were found guilty. Her parents helped her to escape knowing full well that they would not follow. Now she wanders the lands trying to spread good cheer, and give teiflings a better name.  What you're looking for in a group: teamwork and good rp.  Discord name and ID number: T.king413 #9965 if any parts of backstory need to be changed to fit lore do let me know I’m fully open to change. I just used the standard Tieflings are hated Bc demon lore that’s common 

5e/RP experience: 5 years as a player and DM. My specialty as a DM would be running the SKT and Baldur's Gate hardcovers. Ran them both 15/3 times respectively. Really big into stories and lore. As a player I've played 50+ characters ranging from lvl 5s all the way to 20s. Character Info      Name: Lucian Sanquine       Race: Half-Wood Elf      Class: Arcane Trickster Rogue       Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (working his way towards Good)       Personality traits: Paranoid but focused. Knows how to use his past life lessons to his advantage.       Backstory: Lucian was no stranger to crime. Learning to pick his first pocket when he was only 5 years old. He lost his parents weeks before due to a terrible Giant assault on his town. Now alone he had to make 1 of 2 choices. Die!..or join the criminal syndicate known solely as "The Vine".  Fast forward 15 years and Lucian has become quite the renowned infiltrator and escape artist. Being locked in Jails and Prisons numerous times. Each sentence ending the same way. With an empty cell and some very confused guards. Now to the present. Lucian, now 25yo is on the run for his life. Escaping from prison and killing a fellow Vine member in the process, Lucian is now targeted by two by two entities. The Kingdom and The Vine. Without any help from his former Vine family to his. He has but only one choice, to board a ship and never return.  Aboard the ship he met a traveling human wizard by the name of Peter Mcquillan. This is when Lucian's interest into the Arcane was born. With a long trip ahead he would continue to learn, slowly, but learn non the less. Now arriving at his destination. He takes one step onto the docks. With a sigh of relief and one eye over his shoulder.  What you're looking for in a group: Amazing RP, Teamwork and storytelling

5e/RP experience: Pretty new, this would be 3rd campaign, and first session here would be my 5th session as of May 4th Character Info Name: Tila (subject to change cuz I haven't really settled on anything) Race: Tabaxi Class: Ranger Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Personality traits: Poor social skills, quiet with people, and sometimes outright hostile toward some (nobles, wealthy, etc.) Money is Enjoys talking with animals more that people, and the wilderness more than any town. Backstory: I'm not settled on her full backstory yet, since I think it would be best to work locations, tribes, and religions with the DM. So without those details: She lived with her tribe as a hunter until she was exiled murdering an innocent outsider. She'd thought they wished to do harm upon her people and the environment, but she was wrong. She left and began wandering the wilds alone, killing poachers, fulfilling bounties, generally doing her best to keep nature "balanced." She's not the best with people, and tends to look at major civilization as a blight on the world. She's far more at home out in nature, with the animals as company.  What you're looking for in a group: Basically a fairly chill group that's laid back at times, but takes the serious parts... seriously. Patience is pretty key too, especially since I'm kind of new. Also doesn't completely ignore or not participate in roleplay. Discord name and ID number:  Raksha#6787
