Gonna start at 1st level , basic core book races and classes only please.
I only have the core books on hand.
This is old school D&D, where Goblins & Orcs hate Dwarves just as much as they hate them.
Most the adventures will be hack n slash with puzzles, riddles mixed in.
No evil characters, disrupts the game too much.
You can roll using the dice roller here or use the premade stats in book.

The first adventure will be "Goblins ate my lunch".
You will be escorting a supply wagon thru the forest which is crawling with goblin bandits.
Mr.Thornbake will pay Adventurers 50 gold each, 25 now and 25 more once they safely make it to the neighboring town, Oshkosh.

Tentatively interested.

I've made a grand total of 3 DnD characters before. One is godawful, one is not a core book race, and one is not a core book class, so I'll have to think about reworking them or making another character first.

I do hope you join, and even the worse character can become a Legend, if they live long enough. I've had a few not so great characters that I thought for sure would die on first quest, now they're 13th level ÷ , couple are even retired at 30th level.
Also if you have any friends interested in D&D, invite em over 😎

I'm willing to play if you'll have me. I am still relatively new to it, so you'll have to help me a bit with the rules and questions I might have, but other then that, do you have any other restrictions? Regarding character creation?

Glad to have you on board.

You can roll 4d6 and exclude the lowest die or you can use the premade stats-
15,14,13,12,10,9.
And just keep it simple basic core book race & classes.

Gotcha!

Strange character sheet, but looks good.👍

Well, it works ;)

@HEAVY METAL
I've been wanting to play D&D again for a while. Though I don't think I've ever played it on the Guild, I would totally love to play in this. Since its core book stuff only, I might play a Dwarf Cleric, or maybe something else.

Be glad to have ya 👍

A few questions I thought of while I flail about, thinking of what to do for my character:

1. Will combat be grid-based or purely text-based?
2. Would the acquisition of specific magic items (within reason of course) be feasible, eventually?
3. Non-PHB races, classes, and subclasses are out, but are we sticking strictly to core book options or are shenanigans valid? Would I be able to play, for example, 3 halflings in a trenchcoat? Someone transformed into a sapient bear via the true polymorph spell? Someone cursed to have a fireball spell rain down on them every time they exert themselves?

1. Text base combat with the dice roller of course, so movement won't be a thing in this, but there will still be opportunity attacks, advantage on flanking, etc.

2. Depending on if it's in the core DM, I don't have the other books, and I know you can get them thru pdf, I just don't have the room on this tablet.

3. If you wanna play 3 halfling characters...you can, if they plan on standing on each other's shoulders, it'll be a lot of Dex. Checks 😃 and don't get me started if they try combat that way, gonna be high DC checks, so u better make sure to have Acrobatics.

As for the other two things, that's a No.

Glad I asked, because the aforementioned really bad character was really bad because they try to optimize movement, at great expense.

I don't think specific magic items are in the core books full stop. I checked the DM book and apparently a guide for making them is on page 284, where it describes the ones I would be after (something to confer the Longstrider, Jump and Haste spells) as Common, Common, and Uncommon, respectively. I asked because the speed character is basically taking 5 or 6 levels in a mage class just for those three otherwise, but it probably doesn't matter with their main gimmick being mostly irrelevant.

If PDF size is the limiting factor, I could just post the subclass I was going to use, if that's okay with you.


(Text version here)

If it's okay, I'd use the Swashbuckler. It's a subclass for Rogue, (from Xanathar's Guide to Everything) hence all the details are on one page. The character didn't feel right in another class. (and even worse as another Rogue subclass)

Otherwise, I'll just make a new character.

This still open for player applications?

@HEAVY METAL

Finished up the stats for my character. Still need to flesh out his background details and story. A question I have is what world is this set in, like Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, or an original one? I need to know so I can pick a deity for my cleric.





Let me know if anything needs changing.

@Ryik I'm just gonna stick to the core book I listed, if I get my hands on the other books, then I may introduce them in the game, but for now, I'm just gonna keep it simple.

@Searat 👍 yes it is.

@Martian
Looks good, 1 question does he resemble more human features or Orc, because there are those who are not fond of Orcs, especially Dwarves.
This is an Original World.

Sweet.

I'm planning on making a variant human Dex based battle master sharpshooter. With the backstory of being an aged veteran soldier forced to take up their old life due to an unexpected change in his/her life.

Any issues with that @HEAVY METAL?

@Searatif you make it to 3rd level, then Battlemaster will be your archetype.
But, Remember we starting at 1st level, so fighting style & second wind to start off, then you have bonus skill and Feat (I assume you are taking the Sharphooter Feat ?)
