Blackshaft Mine

I'm looking for 1 more hero to share an adventure with. I've DM'd several times but this will be the first time on Roll20, so it'll be a little learning experience. Because of that, this will be a shortish 4-6 week campaign based in the Forgotten Realms but with some towns and cities I've created. If everything works out we can expand it to however long we want. The planned sessions will be about 2-21/2 hours long and please be willing to commit to the 4-6 weeks. I've played several games where it fell apart after the 2nd or 3rd session and I'd really like to avoid that. We've just finished up with the first 6 week run and 2 players had to drop. We've already filled one spot and just need one more.

To make things easy, we'll be staying close to the official 5e content (including Xanathar's Guide) but some UA may be allowed. Any classes but only races from the PHB. New-ish players to D&D 5e are welcome but I'd prefer people that have played at least one or two games on Roll20 so there won't be too much of a learning curve. We already have a grave cleric, wizard/cleric, and 2 fighters. We'll be starting at level 5.

Please provide:

1. Preferred class/race -- don't feel tied to the common tank, caster, support, DPS model. Play what you want.
2. Background -- I plan on using your backgrounds for both hooks and side adventures. I like to reward players for playing and using their backstories. That being said, don't feel like your backstory has to be something crazy....not everyone is an orphan who was raised by elves after their parents were killed by orcs.... Heroes come from every background.
3. Simple personal info -- age, time zone
4. Experience with D&D and Roll20
5. How do you like to play the game? Exploration? Role-playing? Adventuring? Serious? Humor? What would turn you off of a game?
6. Is there anything you want to see in the game?

I'll review the applications and contact those we select by the 26th.
