Second Time DM Looking To Run Homebrewed LGBT+ One-Shot

EDIT: I have enough people now for the game. Feel free to post below if you still want to play and maybe I'll contact you for another run of this one shot or if a player doesn't work out. :) Hey I had an idea for a one-shot and possible campaign strike me recently and would like to try my hand at DMing again. All players should be LGBT+ or extremely LGBT friendly because I'm the DM and I'm gay and I say so. The party will be about 3-4 players since I'm not confident handling anything bigger yet. Anyway the premise of the campaign would be a ll members of the party are part of a gang/criminal organization of some kind. You’ve been recently promoted from pickpocketing, back alley mugging, or some other “entry-level-position” and now can take on bigger jobs and heists that require a group in order to work your way up the ranks. First job will be to break into a formerly influential family's home and steal a relic with your teammates as proof you can all work together and are competent. Session starts inside what looks like a normal monastery/winery in a slightly run-down part of town. The building itself is apparently open and running like any other temple to whatever god it’s dedicated to, but it is only open to entry to people who are actual monks/other clergy members. However the building is actually a front for an up-and-coming criminal organization. Purchased through legal channels by the head of the gang, Dominic, everything about the monastery seems legit. The main building has nothing out of the ordinary. But once you get into the basement you find that while it is full of aging wine as is to be expected, there are also countless doors leading to hidden exits to the streets above, and darkened rooms where shady deals take place. And maybe a holding cell or two for “special guests”. Like I said, it's a one shot but if everyone has a good time I have ideas on how to turn it into a fun and complex campaign! But it would be my first time writing one and I wanna see if I'm even any good at writing a one-shot before i do a campaign haha. There are some requirements for characters as far as classes and alignments since I want all of it to make sense. Allowed Alignments would be: LE, NE, CN, N, and possibly CG if you can provide me with a decent enough reason as to why you'd be in a crime syndicate with a good alignment. But I like twisting expectations so go for it if you want. All core classes are allowed. All core playable races are allowed and maybe homebrew races pending my approval. This is my first time posting in this forum so idk what to expect or know if I gave all the information people would want but I hope to hear from some people!

It would be helpful to know what time zone you're in and what day(s)/time(s) you'd want to run your game(s). Also, just to make the case: Robin Hood would be considered Chaotic Good--someone who flouted the law in order to achieve something greater.  You might also want to allow Neutral Good in there, too, just because sometimes people have to do questionable things while working towards something they value, like someone who would steal food or medicine for someone who otherwise couldn't afford it.  I'm not saying all thieves and brigands have hearts of gold, but you should allow someone like that to exist here if you think you might want to take this one-shot and make it a campaign.  (Also, be really careful of allowing evil alignments into a campaign; not everyone is capable of playing someone Evil without also making them a murderhobo.) Lastly... I'm interested... so... what else should I do other than indicate that here?

Moin, the idea with the Gang sounds good to me...need the time and date :-) to check my calendar. I like one-shoots to see if the group works and everyone feel comfortable with the game style. If you have more infos, please contact me, like to play a silent Ranger or so. Best Regards Thomas

I'd be interested. I would need a time and date though as my availability is strictly limited by my work. Also what Level would we be? Character Concept: Maighread - Human (Likely Variant but haven't decided the Feat yet) Arcane Trickster Rogue

This sounds intriguing.  I'm interested, schedule permitting. I'd play a half-elf warlock, or rogue/warlock, depending on level.  

I'm definitely interested! But I do need to know when you're planning on playing and how best to contact you/apply. Wednesday evenings and this upcoming Tuesday morning are the only times I'm unavailable, and I'd play a CN rogue or bard depending on what's already in the party.

so i tried to message you privately twice but my computer seems to not like that. Anyway hopefully more people will see this as well but as far as time and date I'm going to be asking everyone what their schedules look like and find a time to fit with that, seeing as that strategy has always worked for me. As for starting level I prefer to start at the bottom with level 1, especially since if this goes into a campaign the party would be a group of young-ish thieves rising through the ranks. But if everyone wants to start at 2 or 3 I have no problems with that. Just put your character at level 1 and we can level them up if needed :) Harry D. said: I'd be interested.

Hello, I definitely would be interested if you are accepting newer players!
