@LordOfTheNight Everyone starts somewhere! I reckon I'm pretty good at helping new players ease into things, and we do seem to have other experienced people here, so if there are any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

@Dogematix I feel ya, man. I really feel you... sorry, I'll keep my hands to myself. But yeah, if you want in, all you have to do is apply!

So, there are a good nine people interested in this game - and I'm really only willing to take six players, seven at a stretch, much as I hate to turn someone away. However, I assure you, I will give each of you fair consideration when the character sheets start to come in - I'll be adding the code and an example into the original post in the next couple of days. I advise you to start thinking about your characters now. And I can't stress this enough - make me want to know the character. Your character doesn't need to be fully fleshed out right away, but the basic concept is vital. Interesting is investing, and if you have a hook/want me to provide one, all the better.

Some basic info;

• We're going by 27-point buy rules here for your Ability Scores - if you don't know what that means, say so and I'll explain.
• All races, class options, backgrounds from the Player's Handbook, Xanathar's Guide to Everything, Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, Elemental Evil, and Volo's Guide to Monsters (plus Tortle Package) are permitted, excluding the Yuan-Ti and Triton races.
• Anything from UA, Mordenkainen's, Wayfinder's Guide to Eberron, and Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica are not permitted. Homebrew content is also disfavourable, but if you really want to use homebrew content, PM me the details and I'll consider it.
• Anything I consider to be too dark or too inappropriate will not be considered. There are some general topics which you should probably steer clear of; use your imagination.
• I will not be accepting characters on a first come, first serve basis. Speed helps, yes, but nobody has the exact same schedule.
• You are free to make multiple characters, but for the initial application, you may only submit one.

@DTHar Certainly!

@Tangletail So long as that's not your whole character arc

@Tangletail Well, you've got me excited now... so even if it's not your first character, I expect it to be your second after the first has their untimely demise, of course

@Vertigo Hmm... I forgot about Kenku. I might have to say no to that; I intend for this to be high/medium roleplay. Not every conversation needs to end in a quest - and not every battle will end by killing or subduing all of the enemies. Their lack of voice might make this difficult for you. I want to stay true to the lore, but if you are dead set on the Kenku, then we can discuss it, or come up with an alternative (such as a raven-themed aarakocra with some kenku traits).

can communicate only by using sounds they have heard. Most kenku use a combination of overheard phrases and sound effects to convey their ideas and thoughts.
