Any Interest in a Hard Core 5E Campaign?

WE HAVE ONE SLOT LEFT FOR A PLAYER (edited 6/15) Why Hardcore? I'm tired of Min-Maxing Number Crunching Power Gaming. Hardcore makes it more about Role Playing because of the challenge of Randomization. What is Hardcore 5E, Character Creation is totally Old School. All your abilities, hit points, and race are determined Randomly. Abilities are Rolled in Order, Hit Points (even at Level 1 are Rolled), and your Race is Determined Randomly. Classes are selected after Abilities and Race are Rolled, after Class is Chosen Hit Points are Rolled as per Class Hit Dice. Equipment is what you can purchase with your starting wealth (which aint much). Something like this will not be for everyone, but it will be lots of fun for those that can make an interesting character from very limited stats. Mortality will be high, so having will be extra characters in reserve will be a must. There is a Macro that will generate a character with one click, so you can begin play within a few minutes. The Campaign will run either Wednesday or Thursday Every Other Week (Day has not yet been determined). Sessions will start at 7:00 PM CDT (midwest USA) and will last 3 hours. Discord will be used for the Audio Chat, no Video will be used. There are a few Hardcore Rules. The Campaign will be Challenging with survival paramount. Can your common peasant rise to the level of hero and save the world, find out by Posting here or Sending Ajax a Private Message. Thanks for Reading... -Ajax

I am still down to play 3 hours is to me a perfect session not to short not to long.
I'm interested in joining the Wednesday group. 
Looking for 4 to 6 Role Players who have at least basic knowledge of 5E and have Good Imaginations...
Still need a few more interested parties...
Here is a Sample PC:
 Few PMs have been sent out. The Game is Scheduled to start June 21st at 7:00 PM CST. We still can use a few more Players  
Sent you a PM. Can't wait to play.
Last Bump...
this sounds like alot of fun i would love to join as long as the days work for me once they are picked
I would like to try this out.
Just for a Heads up I'm Posting a brief Outline of the Hardcore Rules Used Here... The Ability Scores Generated by a Macro or Individually Rolled by the Player and  are the ONLY modifications made to the characters, No Racial Modifiers are used. A Former Occupation is Rolled, which will include your Race, some Ability Score Bonuses will Apply From the Occupation (A Gnome Rat Catcher is pretty quick and sly). The Encumbrance Variant is Used, 5 X Strength Score is your load limit before it affects your speed. Backgrounds are built from the Random Generated Character. Starting Equipment must be bought, bartered, begged, borrowed, or stolen. Healing and Dying are by the Normal Rules, However we also Use Debilities, which are lingering injuries that take longer to heal naturally, but can be Healed magically but separately from hit point damage. You gain a Debility when ever you drop to Zero Hit Points or have to make Death Saves. Every time you drop to Zero you Gain another Debility Point that must be healed separately. Debilities are Randomly Generated. You can use a Hit Dice to Heal a Debility but that only heals one Debility not any Hit Point Damage. THE DM ROLLS BEHIND A DM SCREEN (that is DM Rolls are Whispered) Tasks For Level and Training: This adds a Realism to the Game that is seriously lacking. When you acquire enough XP to Level Up, there will be a cost in Gold and sometimes a small Task which must be completed before your Character can Level Up. Example, a wizard might be required to Decipher an old Spellbook before gaining his new level and new spells.
Im interested in this, but honestly 3 hours every 2 weeks is low for my tastes :(

THIS GAME IS NOW SCHEDULED TO BE RUN EVERY WEEK. Will accept one or two more players... -Ajax
See Edit Above.
You might want to check out Zweihander RPG. It's designed with a similar mindset to yours - I think it's supposed to be a retroclone throwback thing. Not my cup of tea but it might be yours.
