Short story looking for players new to the game for every other Monday 6-10PM.  Catch is does not start until Aug 17.  Level 1 go up to level 20.     Long version - I love to DM and I love and have patience for new players.  I have several games that have gone on for over a year, one for three years.  My players seem to have fun.  This will not be a campaign in the sense that the adventures all have a common theme, building up relationships with hated enemies.  Instead it is a series of unrelated adventures that are well written by a great writer that take you from level 1 - 20.  Sort of like a bunch of friends sitting around playing cards while they get to know each other, a chassis to build a great game upon.    If possible I would like to avoid min maxing.  If you are not familiar with that term, that is where you focus more on what your character can do vs just having fun.  I would like to limit things to just the players handbook class options and spells, but if that is a deal breaker, I can compromise.
