Please write a small elevator pitch version of your character concept. One or two paragraphs should be enough to sell me.

PBP: This game will be done in text format over discord with combats taking place in roll 20 if and when they do happen. The game time is only there to allow me to post the game in the looking for group listing. I will post at least a few times daily unless sick or on vacation. As a minimum (to keep the game flowing) each player will be asked to post at least 5 times week. This doesn't have to more than a few sentences. It will most often turn out to be a 15 mins a day commitment. If people want to post more, I of course welcome it. I am a rather open mined fellow can write on almost any topic. The only major taboo that comes to mind is strange stuff with children. Other than that, post away I can adapt to most any sort of material.

Rules: The game will use many variant rules from the DMG. Rules include flanking (no longer using flanking) and slower natural healing. I use these rules to add a bit of depth to the 5th edition rules set. Books in play are the WotC books that are desinged for the forgotten realms campaign setting (this means no wild mont or ebberon. While you can play as any race from volo's many of them are KOS. If you wish to play one of the monster races, be ready to hide yourself. The exception are the hobgoblins as they are used from time to time as guards. Lifestyle is a big part of my world these rules are covered on page 157 of the PHB. Depending on you chosen lifestyle people will treat your better or worse. For example, being on the bottom of the social heap will make you an untouchable in public view and offer you little in the ways of legal protections. Down time is also a big thing in my world. I use the down time rules covered in Xanathar's guide to everything.

Me: Hello my name is Shane and I have been a DM for 20 years. I stared playing D&D at the age of 10 and started DMing at the age of 15. I run a very by the book style of game (some would call it quintessential). I am not a gentle dungeon master, I will challenge the players with harsh but fair combat encounters. As per the role play, the city is a web of lies and subterfuge. Faction will form, alliances will crumble, and you too will be swept up into the tide of hearsay and betrayal. I will not blindside you with DM fiat unless I find it absolutely necessary. I like to run a good mix of combat and RP however the game will really become what the players want it to be.
