Hi. My name is Amber. I am a 34 year old Christian woman who is asexual and has autism from Tennessee USA in the Central time zone. I have been playing and have been new to dnd 5e since February of 2021. Out of all of the games I have played in that have not lasted long then a few months with all of my characters being retired and died at level 5, I am currently looking to play in a Roleplay heavy dnd 5e homebrew game that focuses on roleplaying, exploration, problem solving, puzzles, character and world lore and having character backstory be a part of the story. I also love combat but only with a party and only if the fights are fair and balanced. I refuse to do combat by myself anymore. I am scared to do combat alone and will only do it with a party. I always tend to play characters who wants to make friends and go on adventures and have family but in the past my characters have had their friends and family taken away from them by the dm and I consider my characters having friends and family be a very important part of their backstory. I have died three times in a dnd game so far this year just because the fights were too hard and because I was alone when they happened or had a party that didn't help me out or have a weak npc party that died so I will not engage in combat unless I am with a full party that is strong enough to help me fight. That is something that is non negotiable because I do not give my consent to do solo combat in a dnd game. I also do not mind having a player and npc romance with my characters and having family and friend relationships. I am ok with doing roleplaying moments, campfire rp, tavern rp, crafting, and more. Also I don't mind for the game to be streamed either as I play voice only on roll20 and discord. What I am not okay with in a dnd game: Solo combat Curses-I have been cursed before and it was not fun at all so I do not consent to that and will not take cursed items. Dogs-I am deathly afraid of dogs and have had a traumatic experience with one where I was attacked by one when I was 8 years old. Demons-Died to them in an unfair fight where one of my characters was attacked and died to 3 demons before my character could fight back Having friends and family turn evil or die-I am happy when my character has friends and family to talk to and would not be happy if they died or turned into a villain. Becoming an npc character with no player agency- this was not fun for me and have had this happen to me before so I will not participate as a npc character ever again. Sex-Sex is gross so I do not like it. I also do not like slavery, racism and anything else that would make me uncomfortable and not have fun. I do not consent to mind control either. I play dnd to have fun and dying in dnd and combat by myself in dnd is not fun for me. I just want to be in a consistent weekly dnd game where I can have fun roleplaying and more. There is a quote I heard recently on the Dungeon run Game Fate and Fortune on YouTube that someone said "There are no bad rolls, only good stories. " So all we can do is just try our best, have fun and just go with the flow. What can help me do better as a dnd player is to have practice fights (mock battles)to help me learn my abilities and be more comfortable in combat as I do not have much experience in dnd besides a few months playing Dungeon of the mad mage, a few months playing Legend of Zelda dnd, a few sessions of a Scifi dnd game, and one living world streamed dnd game where I have only had 1 character survive 18 sessions before dying and then my other characters only having a few sessions before they died in combat without anyone helping me out. I only know how to play Rogue and fighter so far besides Totem warrior barbarian. Am new to Monk and Bard. I haven't tried any other classes yet but these are the characters I have played as: Trista the half elf totem warrior barbarian -retired at level 5 Rogally the Rito rogue -retired at level 5 Fearne Meadows the Lotusden halfling champion fighter-played from level 1-5 deceased Amara Galaben the human variant battle master fighter-played and died at level 5 Alice the human Variant Battle master fighter -played at level 3 retired at level 5 Roxanne the human Variant Beserker barbarian -played and died at level 5 Rin the Tiefling Way of Mercy Monk (new to playing)-currently playing at level 5 Harmony Storm Air genasi College of Lore bard (new to playing)-currently playing at level 3 I would love to play what I am good at which is fighter, rogue, monk and bard. I can try playing other classes but need to learn my abilities so would need help and patience as it takes me a while to learn my abilities. I get nervous and anxious as well as stressed when it comes to combat so if I could have a dnd mentor to help me out in the game that would be great. If you have any games available for me to come play in as a player, please let me know. I am available Thursday afternoon CST, Friday afternoon and evening CST and Saturday afternoon and evening CST. Please PM me here if you have any games available for me to play in. I also love participating in after the session chat-time where we can discuss the game and whatever else we want to talk about as a way to hang out with the players and dm and give feedback on the game and more. My favorite dms are Aabria iyengar, gabe hicks, mark Hulmes, Matthew Mercer, B Dave Walters, Brett Ultimus from the World of IO games and more. Thanks for your time and I hope to hear from you soon.
