[LFP] Low-Fantasy Gaming - Looking for 2-4 Payers

*Rain pings on the soldier's armor as he stands ready, gritted teeth and scimitar poised to strike down the lanced horseman who struggles to handle his mount as it slips attempting to charge through the muddied battlefield. Beads of sweat streak down the barbarian's face as carries a stoned dagger searching in the snow for a rare wild herb to help concoct an antidote for his companion who was poisoned by a dark fey's blade when they were ambushed on the road. Her muscles strain against the pilot's wheel of the ship as the sailor, using her wits and skills and rallying her crew, steers the ship safely through the freak storm that swept upon them due to the curse that haunts them and which they continue to search relief from. Welcome to Low-Fantasy Gaming* I am planning to start a bi-monthly (twice a month) fantasy RPG set in a Low-Fantasy setting using the Low-Fantasy Gaming Rules. Looking to start with four dedicated players who are focused on character development in a gritty world, know how to take initiative with their character, and want a serious tone in their gaming. Also, looking for players who are focused on collaborating in fleshings out a sandbox setting (yes, I have a ton of stuff fleshed out, but also want this to be a collaborative effort in developing the world). If you are not into a gritty setting where death lurks around the corner, when time and resource management can give you an edge or burden, and your actions have both short and long-lasting consequences then this game is **not** for you. Low-Fantasy Gaming is a D20, rulings over rules, GM & player collaboration based system that encourages thinking outside the box problem solving, dangerous yet rewarding unscaled encounters, and freedom in guiding your character's growth. If interested please reach out to me and tell me a little bit about yourself, experience, and style of playing TTRPGs, and what you are hoping to get out of the game. Thanks. 
Have the ruleset and would indeed be interested depending on scheduling.  When are you thinking?  As for me: 1)  Been playing since the red box days in the early 80's.  Cut my teeth on D&D, Traveller and Stormbringer and went from there.  HUGE S&S fan and am always looking for a more low magic style game.  In fact, those are the types of games that I prefer to run.  I play TTRPG due to the inherent collaborative storytelling that takes place and always prefer the story to be more important than the mechanics.
Hey Kevin, sounds great would love to have you aboard. Not a set date, doing a character creation and prob a session 0 when everyone is available. When would you like to do character creation?
HEllo i like the idea of low fantasy! So i would be interested. I am quite new to DND5E but I've played VTM and a few games in DND 2.5. I like the IDea of a low fantasy because i'm quite fond of the Bretonnians from warhammer and the whole feudal system. Dukes and lords etc. Any how if you don't mind new players i might be up for it!
Generally interested as well to delve into something simple and low for once as someone who has played epic fantasy games in PF1 and 5E for quite some time. What exactly are these low fantasy rules that you are speaking of though? Minimal Magic? Low Stats?
I'm def interested, been wanting to join a group for quite some time. Would you allow "weird" races? I've been wanting to play as a tortle monk for a while now
The rules I am looking at using are from&nbsp; <a href="https://lowfantasygaming.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/low-fantasy-gaming-21-10-16.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://lowfantasygaming.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/low-fantasy-gaming-21-10-16.pdf</a> , but I am using the Deluxe version which has some extra classes and rules in it. The version linked in this post is the first version.&nbsp;

Magic is rare, stats are not low, but your characters aren't superheroes either.&nbsp;
Certainly intriguing and keeps the game grounded a bit
I am running an intro game later today at 430 EST. I have two players now, but if anyone is interested let me know by 330 and we can whip you up a character (take 5-10 min). Or if you want to go ahead and make your character, and use the honor code for rolling, then I just ask you to send me your character details and please fill out this questionnaire: Are your parent’s/siblings alive? If yes, what did they do while growing up and what are they doing now? If not, what did they do before they died, how did they, die and how old were you when it happened? Did you go into the family business? If yes, why? If no, why not and what did you do instead? What was the highest point and also the lowest in your life, between after you left your family/town to go off to adventure and before you find yourself where you are now? What is your short term goal(s)? What is your long term goal(s)? Why did you decide to leave your profession and go off to adventure/why do you find yourself at this moment now?
And for further context, your character finds themselves in the City of Daneb, a large trading, religious, and intellectual center of the Great Desert Sea, a large desert that takes up 3/4 of this continent.
DO you guys use discord ? i have skype and discord. I'd be down i would need help for stats etc for the character but hey if it takes 5 10 mins then sounds easy enough.
Yes we use Discord for voice and Roll20 for visuals. Next game won't be till next weekish, but looking to start official campaign soon.
Hello there, I've been role playing for the past 27 years and I can't get enough. I usually serve as DM for my groups and have only properly played as a character a handful of times but don't think that leaves me at a disadvantage. I'm in love with all generes and settings and would love to be a part of your game. Let me know if you have any questions! -Kim&nbsp;
Hi. Very interested. Do you have a discord? would like to know more about the campaign
Yes, if you want to reach me through discord it is dcatt#7506.&nbsp;
