[LFP][5E][Free] Dungeons & Dragons TOTAL IMPROV - One shots

Hello everybody! I've been doing theatrical improv for the better part of a decade, and DMing for a bit less. I've been wanting to try out doing a total improv session - that is, the campaign unfolds on the spot. All dungeons, towns, encounters, etc. are either generated through die roll or from the mind of yours truly, on the spot. Of course, fair is fair, and players are expected to generate a semi-random character in the first 30 minutes of the session (I'll have compendium sharing turned on, don't worry). Of course, I expect things to get wacky. Min-maxers and backstory writers might want to avoid this game, this is all about the emergent story and bending the rules. If you like sandbox games, goofing around, or knocking back a few beers/hits while you play, then this is the game for you! Right now, I'm looking at doing a few test sessions this week on Thursday (2 PM EST and 8 PM EST) and Friday (2 PM EST). Depending on how things go, I might continue this as a running series, or even a paid campaign. If you'd like to get in on the ground floor, apply below, and we can figure things out from there: Screenname & Pronouns: Age: (18+ please) Experience Playing D&D: (Newbies are welcome!) Experience Doing Improv (or related): (Newbies are welcome!) Time Slots Available/Preferred: I affirm that I'm a cool person and won't engage in sexism, transphobia, racism, sexual violence, etc.:
