[LFP+18] [PBP] D&D 5E 2014 Game Set In Icewind Dale Not the Module

                                                                 Thank you for taking the time to read this. This game will be based in the Icewind Dale area of the forgotten realms though I will stress this is my take of the setting and area. The focus will be on it being player driven experience with each player forming a short term goals and long term goal, you can be a native or outsider that had the misfortune of getting locked in by the ice, due to the harsh weather that grips the lands. That isn't the only woe the ten towns face things two cults are at war with one another, more people are disappearing, dwarves march out from Mithral Hall, talk of a Drow witch, and undead attacks out in the frozen wastes. There is also what the players want and do, as this will be player driven in a sandbox with active world that moves and responds to what you do or don't do. I expect the game to go on for a long time willing to go up to level 20 but will see how people feel around 10. Tone of the game will be gritty and dark with adult themes, I am aiming for something little more serious then typical game, so expected a rated R game any other details can be hashed out or accommodations made that will work well with the game. While humor isn't bad I'm not looking for stand up routines or silly characters as the goal. Also hard requirement on the 18+ sorry no exceptions. There will also be heavy focus on RP while combat will of course be in the game it will not be for its own sake, and can be avoided should the situation allow and or players choose to. I encourage players also to be smart and respect any risks their characters take in and out of combat. The game will be PBP (Play By Post) this will be handled and done asynchronous which is post when you can with only requirement being at least one every two days. Post will done off site further information given on joining, you will need to be able to type and read English to a competent level doesn't need to be perfect but needs to be legible. Post will be done in the third person to have some consistency further details will be given on joining. As for character creation you will be starting off at level one while stats will be rolled 4D6 drop the lowest die get three sets and placed as you like. One set will be your first character and should character death happen you will use one of the other sets for you backups. While character death isn't my goal I believe in letting player actions playout and respecting the results of the dice for better and worse. I think games are better with real stakes and skin in the game. As for classes and races it will be a case by case situation. We will also be using the 2014 rule set since this is the one I have and know. As for XP will be awarded based on Role Playing your character, Challenges Noncombat and Combat, and Treasure. I am also using this game to build up a group of players that I can run for in future games I encourage everyone at any experience level to join and any questions feel free to ask or message me directly. Little bit about myself you can call me Mirage I started playing TTRPGs after high school and have 10 years or about of running and playing a variety of systems, I'm pretty easy going but like to put in effort into a game and expect the same of others. I work at a Library and enjoy many outdoor and nerdy hobbies. Player Application please fill out the following, and message or reply to this thread to submit it. Thank you.

I have no experience with PBP My playstyle is very flexible, but my long time play group is combat oriented. East Coast U.S. I really like the books involving Icewind Dale and also interested in learning PBP I'm a retired teacher and coach. Always enjoyed gaming both computer and tabletop.

Cureently have a lot of free time and am trying to learn to be a better DM and understanding more about dnd than just my hometown group.
Name: Alex (they/them) Age: 29 Experience with D&D and PBP: 6-8 years of D&D experience, no experience with PBP Play Style: Roleplay heavy, but flexible on combat as most games I've played relied heavily on combat Timezone: Australia (GMT+10, or AEST) but highly insomniac, so up at all hours of the night and day Why do you want to play in this game? PBP sounds like an interesting concept I haven't seen before, and I'm always down to make new friends Little bit about yoursel f?  I like Arting and Crafting of all sorts and mediums, advocate for creepy crawlies of all kinds, love me a tragic character trying their best to be better (Hunter from Owl House, Todoroki from MHA, Klaus from Umbrella Academy, Amethyst from Steven Universe, etc.) Currently doing retail work, so no intense schedule to work around, only consistent is a Monday, but shouldn't be an issue for PBP, as I can send quick texts during quieter hours (Retail is not a busy job 9 months out of 12)
Name: Lu Age:  18 Experience with D&D and PBB: pretty much a newbie to ttrpg but passionate roleplayer Play Style: rp heavy Timezone: CET/GMT+1 Why do you want to play in this game?: Ive been wanting to join a campaign for ages where the setting is more "classic". I'm looking to gather practical experiences to run a campaign on my own. Little bit about yourself? I'm an artist and writer who has a vast set of OCs which I love to bring to life via roleplaying. I was introduced to dnd by a friend years ago yet never found any campaigns to join. 
Name Grey Age 35 Experience with D&D and PBP I am relatively new to D&D but have been in an ongoing weekly campaign for about a year and have played a few oneshots.  I did pbp rp for years on old rp forums for about a decade but fell off after college. Play Style  I enjoy combat but love a well fleshed out setting with plenty of worldbuilding to explore. Timezone EDT Why do you want to play in this game? I really enjoy D&D and want to play more.  I work remotely so I have pockets of time throughout my days but don't have time for another regularly timed weekly game.  I am looking for a mature game with grittier themes and real stakes, where I can explore real character development.  I have a Levistus Tiefling character I have been wanting to play that would fit into the Icewind Dale setting perfectly. Little bit about yourself? Among other nerdy things I enjoy crafting, writing,   fantasy, magic,  conlanging and worldbuilding... no wonder I like D&D!
