[LFG][5E][EST][Tuesdays] DM looking for 2 additional players to round out a play group

Tuesdays - 7pm to 10 PM EST -  We would like a minimum of 3 hours per week. Sessions may run longer if EVERYONE agrees. Otherwise, we need players who can commit each week to 3 hours (excluding special circumstances: We're role-players not monsters). We use voice chat as our primary form of play and have a place to connect on Discord when not using Roll20. I currently have 3 players and a guest who comes to play the bad guys on occasion when I want to mix things up on players to used to my combat style.       I am moving a small online play group onto this platform and we thought that it would be a good time to add a couple new players to the group. The party of 3 is only level 3 currently and only one of them is an experienced player. We are happy to teach new players and both the experienced player and I (the DM) have been playing for nearly 10 years. We don't ask for any extreme roleplay or voices just an awareness of the setting and an attempt to keep your character in character. If you are interested I'm happy to talk with you and help find the common ground. We have all the core books and a few expansion supplements and are happy to look things up for you if needed.  My preferred DMing style is what I like to refer to as "Living world" where any non-player character introduced will continue to go about doing things "off screen" and the players actions can have effects that reach farther than they might expect. I run a reasonable amount of house rules but mostly they are there to improve fun and the hardiness of characters since I like to play encounters realistically. E.g. A pack of wolves is more likely to target one character at a time rather than square off with individual party members, but also more likely to break and run as combat goes on. But I am not one to avoid social encounters either. Mostly we play in the theater of the mind but I'm not afraid to use tiles for combat if it improves the experience. I don't use alignment since I want my players to make realistic choices not forced ones. My style tends to lean towards Characters/story>rules but mainly due to a belief that the rules are more flexible than you would expect. I recommend being open to a backup character if you are interested in playing since new players to my style sometimes have a habit of tapping out early and those who play longer tend to find a character with their goals fulfilled would rather retire in dignity and hand off the baton. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a message.      The setting is the Boundless Winds Empire ( Citizens are often referred to as Boundless). As far as technology at its height it was at roughly 15th century Europe levels with some influence of magical elements to grease the wheels and improve lives. Even at it's full power it's days of imperial expansion were mostly behind it as its boarders stretched to its mountain boarders to the north, west, and south. The Kirov Meritocracy, a small nation on its western border, lost much of its territory to the empire during its years of expansion and now struggles to survive on what little territory it still holds. The empire had quality roads, canals and tracks for the shipment of goods, and even simple black powder guns. All benefits of many resources and few enemies which allowed their cities to grown and strengthen the empires control. Many cities and towns varied wildly as they put focus on their exports and technologies giving each a somewhat unique feeling even as architecture leaned towards Gothic in design. The setting has the players as citizens of a fallen empire whose end 150 years ago is unclear with the only clue being a curtain of red magic running to the horizons and a missing populace. Players, descendants of southern farming families who survived the fall, currently live within the walls of partially reclaimed city of Grimstead. With the fall of the Empire such an unclear event there is a call for those with curiosity or simply a love of coin to search for clues and bring back news of the wider world. A large portion of the setting is already set but I like to leave pieces empty for players to insert themselves into the core of the setting. As a result I am often willing to let joining players try something a little strange or different if I think it adds to the world in a meaningful way. What kind of players am I looking for? Anybody is welcome to apply! Roleplay is welcome and appreciated but I am looking  primarily for players that are able to play their character as a person and willing to get to know their fellow players accents or not. I'm not just looking for a group of strangers that would just show up once a week then disappear. I am looking for a group of players that can become friends and chat with each other in between games.  Players of all experience levels are welcome, though rules lawyers will likely be frustrated. I believe that the DM should have final say on the rules of the game, although some input from the players here and there is always welcome. In the end I am trying to craft an experience we all can enjoy so I love feedback or both what my players liked and what they think could have been better. If this sounds like something that you would enjoy and you are looking for a group of fairly casual and friendly players then feel free to fill this out and either send it to me in a PM or post it below so perhaps another DM or group of players might see it and bring you into another game.

What you generally look for in a campaign/playgroup/DM: A little of everything, fun games, serious ones, I'm game for whatever really, I do enjoy more combat heavy games though, simply because I like to make lots of weird combat tricks and see what happens. I do need practice with social encounters and roleplaying with character types I don't get to try a lot though. How would you best describe yourself in a quote:  “I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” Favorite fantasy character book/movie/etc: Hmmmmmm this is a tough question, a very tough question, I'll get back to ya on that one.

Gryffons. Please accept me, I'm really curious about D&D. I have heard a lot about it.

Preferred Name: Eric Preferred Pronouns (he/she/etc): He Age: 26 Discord name (including the 4 numbers at the end): Saliferous_Eric#8511 Favorite multiclass to play (this will not necessarily be what you play, its just interesting to see what combos people like):  I am currently playing a celestial warlock/ divine soul sorcerer multiclass as the primary healer in my other group. It has been a lot of fun and I like the break from the healers are priests stereotype What you generally look for in a campaign/playgroup/DM: A group of people that I can RP with and explore/discover a world with. Most of my best friends came from RP groups so I like meeting new people to make friends with. I tend to prefer a healthy mix of RP and action but probably lean more towards RP.  How would you best describe yourself in a quote:  "Laughter heals all wounds." Favorite fantasy character book/movie/etc: Hands down   Death the Kid from Soul eater. No contest. Favorite flavor of ice cream and favorite animal: Chocolate chip chocolate fudge brownie with chocolate syrup (The more chocolate the better). favorite animal is Cows.

Preferred Name: Mason Preferred Pronouns (he/she/etc): He Age: 30 Discord name (including the 4 numbers at the end): guardwolf#1922 Favorite multiclass to play (this will not necessarily be what you play, its just interesting to see what combos people like): I have always wanted to try a paladin/bard combo, It could be like a gospel singer type. What you generally look for in a campaign/playgroup/DM: I look for mostly RP, with some combat mixed in. The group I DM for like more of the fighting  side so I am looking to play in a little more RP based campaign  to cure that itch. How would you best describe yourself in a quote: " difficult  roads lead to beautiful destinations" Favorite fantasy character book/movie/etc: O beryn Martell from GoT head had many great things but also had flaws which made him more dynamic   Favorite flavor of ice cream and favorite animal: Cookies and Cream / Wolf

Preferred Name:  Natalie Preferred Pronouns (he/she/etc):  She Age:  24 Discord name (including the 4 numbers at the end): totallynotalie#8726 Favorite multiclass to play (this will not necessarily be what you play, its just interesting to see what combos people like): Gloomstalker ranger with a touch of assassin rogue. In general, I don't like to multiclass because it takes so much longer for the build to come online. But gloomstalker already does so well with nova damage on the first round and the assassin rogue makes it the ultimate ambush predator build. What you generally look for in a campaign/playgroup/DM: I'm always looking for good collaborative story telling where the dm and players work together to build satisfying narratives, both for overarching plots and character backstories. D&D is always best when there's more than just combat and loot and I like to really dig into my character's personalities and traits to make them more than just a stat block. That being said, above everything else, I value a group that can hang out with each other both in and out of character and have fun. While serious moments are awesome, they're more dramatic when they're punctuating periods of levity rather than the group being strong and stoic the whole time. Some of the best moments I've had playing D&D were moments of hilarity, like when my group established a secret code to discuss an assassination that made it sound like they were planning to buy all sorts of sweets from a candy store. And my last long running campaign, we would regularly stick around to chat for 2 or 3 hours after every session which really helped us form real bonds outside the game. How would you best describe yourself in a quote:  “Antimei warned me that you would ‘transform’ me. I was hoping it would be into a frog, or a racquiel, or perhaps a bear -- I’ve always wanted to be a bear!

I greatly enjoyed doing a massive amount of damage to open the battle. He was an Urban Bounty Hunter, so his flavor was pretty cool as well. What you generally look for in a campaign/playgroup/DM: There has to be good chemistry between the group. I think its important to discuss what type of campaign everyone expects, be it combat centric, full of dungeon dives, lighthearted, etc etc. A DM that is communicative and open to feedback is a plus as well.

His story arc is so freaking awesome. Character development is off the charts. Favorite flavor of ice cream and favorite animal: Marianne's "Heaven" (Marianne's is a local ice cream where I live.

I have really enjoyed playing my Arcane Trickster rogue, though, so a blend of physical fighter + caster would probably be fun to play; like a fighter/wizard or a sorcerer/barbarian. What you generally look for in a campaign/playgroup/DM:  I'm hoping to find something consistent, friendly, and focused on weaving a cool story together while having lots of fun along the way. I really enjoy role playing and the fantasy genre so I'd like to be able to get engrossed in the world with a healthy balance of interpersonal RP + action.
