[LFP][DnD5e][GMT][Free] Homebrew Dark Sun 5e Campaign Looking for Backup Players

Hi all, I'm steve!  Recently started DMing a Homebrewed 5e Campaign using the Dark Sun setting for inspiration. And I'm looking for back ups as some of the players have indicated they my not be able to commit to the full campaign. The campaign is being run on Roll20 for maps, Discord for Voice Chat and dndbeyond (with beyond20 plugin) for character sheets and dice rolls. There is no set day. but it is being run on either mondays, tuesdays, thursdays or friday afternoons (sometimes evenings) whenever possible as often as we can, dates decided upon in a facebook group set up for the campaign. We currently have 6 players, but one or more may leave the campaign after a few sessions. The players have only just completed session 0 + 1 and are currently level 2. I am allowing Feats, Multiclassing and everything from all officially released wizards of the coast DnD5e material What is Dark Sun? Athas is a  desert pl ane , commonly known as “Silt”. Athas is a devastated world, the result of magic run amok. Most of Athas is an empty desert, interrupted by a handful of corrupt city states controlled by power-mad sorcerer-kings and their spell-wielding lackeys. The brutal climate and the oppressive rule of the sorcerer-kings have created a corrupt, bloodthirsty, and desperate culture that leaves little room for chivalric virtues. Arcane magic is strictly prohibited and controlled. Slavery is commonplace, and death permeates the culture. One hope slaves have for freedom is through gladiatorial conquest, these duels provide entertainment for the elite, and releases  for the slave, through winning freedom, or the freedom in death. Athas has no deities and no formal religions other than the cults created by the sorcerer-kings. The world of Athas is completely cut off from the rest of the DnD multiverse, in fact only vary few high level wizards and scholars are even aware of the multiverse concept. And none in living memory have ever gone to another realm of existence. Even the Shadow-fell and Feywild are nothing but myths and legends in this world. If you are interested, please post on this topic with; Name/Nickname: Age: Timezone: Character Name: Race: Class: Alignment: Background: Backstory Ideas: Other: thank you

Name/Nickname: Karl Age: Mid 20s Timezone: PST which actually works out for me Character Name: Skylord Race: Aarakokra Class: Barbarian (Centered around unarmed strikes and full defense) Alignment: Around good most likely, though I don't constrain myself to it. Background: Folk Hero most likely or if there is a Gladiator background Backstory Ideas: Skylord is definitely not a normal aarakokra. He stands 7 feet tall and has bulging muscles. I am debating if his wings will be clipped or not. Essentially, he was enslaved and used as a gladiator. He dreams of becoming a hero of the world, so he fought for his freedom. He is incredibly naïve and a little dumb, but has a good heart. Other: I flavor many things about my characters to make them a lot more unique

The Player who was our rogue may have already left. so a rouge, monk or ranger would fit perfectly.

What day and time for gmt.

Name/Nickname: Orpheas Age: 25 Timezone: EET Character Name: Solittude Race: Wood Elf Class: Monk Alignment: Neutral Good Background: Noble Backstory Ideas: Son of a Noble family, saw family get slain during an invasion of gnolls and decided to dedicate his life to a monastery in order to cope with the pain Other: A quiet elf trying to cope with his family loss, not showing his emotions. He cares mostly about preserving peace in the world as he has experienced pain first hand.

TygerWater ; There is no set day. but it is being run on either mondays, tuesdays, thursdays or friday afternoons (sometimes evenings) whenever possible as often as we can, dates decided upon in a facebook group set up for the campaign. Orfeas B. :  okay so monastery's aren't really a thing cause there are no "organised" religions outside of the worship of the Sorcerer-Kings, but monks are a thing, mostly hermits and nomads. Nobility are lackeys of the Sorcerer-Kings for the most part so an invasion of gnolls against a noble house would not really result in the family being completely slain... as those high echelon families tend to be very well protected and defended, but you could have been a member of a high ranking social clan/house/family if you wish. Also if you are a wood elf. there is only one forest in the region this is set and its full of nasty creatures and cannibal halflings so... :P just so you know.

Okay then maybe another iteration could be like this. One of the last remaining wood elves of the world due to the destruction of the forest regions and the occupation of the last forests from carnivorous creatures, becomes a hermit to worship the old gods of the elves. In his head there is always the idea of liberating the world and bring back the world order of old. However, in his many years of existence he has yet to meet a worthy fellowship that would allow him to pursue his goal and save people of Athas from the oppressive rule of the masters.

What timezone is this? If it is GMT friendly I will put in an app :)

as said in title of post. GMT

Hi Steve, I am Stephan :-) are you still looking for a player? It has been some time... I'm looking for a GMT based group and am interested in Dark Sun. I have a few character ideas and a half-elf rogue is one of them, does this suit  your /the groups needs? If so I could finish the application in no time ;-)

Name/Nickname:Vampiregoat69 Age:48 Timezone: West  Coast 9am-10pm M-F not Sat because I have 1 game that day. Character Name: Ned Nicoles/Grunkle/Enoch Race: Halfling Lightfoot Class: Rogue Alignment: CN (and no not chaotic stupid...lol) Background: Grunkle started out alright as a rogue until he accidently set off a trap with his party nearby, the explosion killed his friends and injured him. After he had recovered something was just not right with his head. He had begun to show signs of multiple personalities. Grunkle (timid and scared after the accident), Ned (his alter ego was more outgoing and kind of a jerk in a way he got things done that Grunkle was too scared to do. Enoch (a 200 year old Mindflayer illithid or so he claims to be is the one who is calm and level headed and wants to teach him psionics) Backstory Ideas: Other: Now I know you're thinking OH S**T here we go with another CN character. TRUST me his is only chaotic because he sometimes has trouble keeping his thoughts together. I have ran him before and the players loved him because of his silliness but when it came to being serious and stealthy, Grunkle had it together well more Ned than anyone. I play him to work together with the group never against them, he is loyal to his friends to a fault if anything.

Stephan A.  yes go ahead :) I am still looking for applications for people who can commit to the times stated above. Vampiregoat69  - the halflings of Dark Sun are mostly tribal cannibals that live in the last known remaining forest. so if your set on a halfling this would of been how you grew up.   If you are interested, please post on this topic with; Name/Nickname: Age: Timezone: Character Name: Race: Class: Alignment: Background: Backstory Ideas: Other: thank you

Hi Steve, so I am interested in joining your group: Name/Nickname: Stephan Age: 37 Timezone: GMT+1 Character Name: Raj (Rajhev Ray) Race: Half-Elf Class: Rogue (Arcane Trickster, if this is a thing in Dark Sun) Alignment: neutral (maybe chaotic good, since an somewhat emotional attachment to group members will grow and you look out for the ones that look out for you...) Background: Urchin Backstory Ideas: Street urchin since child hood, faint memory on elven mother (maybey a dream?!). Was part of a youths gang, that worked as runners, became older and grew friends with two other member, the triangle didn't work out, had to run, but stole from an importen employer (maybe merchant or sorcerer) and is now on the run;-) a bit more detailed upon Character creation, I think there will be some hooks for you Other: I realy favor cooperative and interactive roleplay with the other group members (and NPSs), so a dark side of my character will pop up but not dominate anything Also English is not my first language, but im fluent I hope this will work out (it's also my first time RPGing in english)
