[LFP] [Free] [5.5e] New and veteran players welcome. One Shot testing new rules!

Come join our one or two shot game to give out the new rules a try out. We meet on Saturdays 1pm pst and usually play for about 3 hours. We are playing a homebrew campaign as well and who knows you might be a good fit for that as well (:  I have been DMing for 7 years and have a great record of amazing games that are seen through to the end. I have created a safe space to everyone to express themselves and enjoy role playing without judgment or toxic environment. Just reply here and please include how long you've been playign and what ideas you'd have for a character. Also include a short background in about a paragraph or two. Cheers!

Hi Garrett! I am brand new to d&d (the 'listened to some podcasts and am very interested but have never played a game' kind of new) I'd really like to get my feet wet, which may not be what you are looking for, but I figured what the heck, I might as well inquire lol... I am big into fantasy and am an avid ren faire goer and am looking to develop my costume into a character by stepping her into d&d; after reading most of the handbook I feel like she translates well to the world. I don't know much about the landscapes and maps of d&d, so I will keep it vague as far as that goes until I learn more 😅. This is what I was hoping to explore at some point- if it works for your story, dope, if not, totally get it and would be open to developing a different character. Xandrii is an elven druid with somewhat eclectic interests and tastes. Bookworm, wanderer, and notorious trinket horder, she is very young for an elf, but has spent her time studying anything and everything related to plants and magic. Her elven roots lend a distinct connection to nature and natural magics, but she is insatiably curious, resulting in the study of alternative (arcane) methods of spellcraft. Her youth leads her to follow her whims and draws out her instinct to negotiate or flee in the event that someone has a conflict with her. She only truly steps into herself and her skills however when she finds herself in a position where she needs to defend others. She in past has lacked confidence in her abilities, primarily focused on the scholastic merit and less so on the actual use of the spells and skills she has learned, but is determined to remedy that and sets out seeking adventure. Thanks! Please let me know if you would need anything else from me!

Hi Garrett Love to try out the new rules with you and it sounds like your game is a perfect opportunity to take them for a whirl.  In terms of experience, I've played through Original, 2E, 3E, 3.5E, Pathfinder 1st, and 5E, running and writing games for UK games cons as part of the TSR programme back in the 90's. Nowadays I run a 5E game on Friday evenings every fortnight, and play in a monthly tabletop game in person (which is on hiatus thanks to real life). As for a character, I'll suggest someone to work with Xandrii, Purity Wilbrook is a bounty hunter and forest gnome. He has trained as a member of the Greenspire woodland rangers and enjoys the company of all sylvans and fey. Purity dislikes the dark and civilisation but can venture alongside his companions when a quarry heads towards a town or city. A survivalist at heart, he believes that civilisation is going to cause its own downfall thanks to the greed and ambition of the inhabitants. Master Wilbrook's pride and joy are a well-crafted bow and pair of supple leather boots from his parents given on the day he passed out of the Greenoaks as a fully fledged Ranger. For much of his spare time, Purity crafts and names his various arrows made from the feathers of his prey.
