My name is Jack, I'm 24, from England, and am currently living in Mexico (EST).
I am an experienced DM and player. I love Critical Role and am looking to form a group of players who wish to play an extended campaign in Matt Mercer's world of Exandria.
I am going to spend some time finding the right group of players and once we have our adventuring party, we will trial DMs with one shots until we find one that we mesh well with.
There is a good chance that we will need to buy the sourcebook for the DM, but split between the whole group it won't be that much. However, this is something you should keep in mind.
Other things to note:
Age: 16+
Group: 5-6 players. I'd really like a nice range of people. At least two slots will be reserved for women.
Experience: Any — I'm happy to show people the ropes if they need it. That said, commitment to learning the game will be needed if you decide to play. It's honestly not that complicated.
Game type: I would like this game to be role play heavy, with strong emphasis on character background intergeneration in the story. I want an epic heroes journey in a sandbox that allows for random side adventures and an interesting world to explore. I also love challenging combat, so a world where death is a real and sometimes likely possibility is a must. Backup characters will be mandatory in this game.
Setting: My preferred setting is Wildemount, and the campaign being the political one involving Xorhas. However, I believe in democracy and will hold a vote when the whole party has been gathered.
Schedule: My timezone is EST. My schedule is very flexible, but I would currently favour weekly games on Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays, or Sundays, in the evening, lasting around 3-4 hours.
As I am looking for like-minded adventurers, here are a few non negotiables I have for this game:
- No evil characters (it only works if all characters are evil or if it is the theme of the campaign).
- Player characters must be original. I don't want to explore the world with a Mighty Nein tribute act.
- Only 1 player of each class. I want this campaign to run to at least level 17 — while there is a lot of variation within some of the classes, I want all of the players to feel useful and unique and I have DMd enough games with three warlocks and two rogues to know that playing the same class does inevitably lead to stepping on one another's toes. Classes will be claimed first come first served. (I am yet to choose a class, but I favour a primary Spellcaster).
- Adult themes and content will be acceptable and at times encouraged — I love seeing the gritty side of a fantasy world. Sex and violence will exist in the game, however, sexual violence will not. Before we begin, we will discuss as a group the things we are and are not comfortable with and we will all agree to respect those boundaries.
- Level 1 start. Heroic standard array (17, 15, 14, 13, 10, 6) or (17, 15, 14, 13, 8, 8). Starting equipment or gold.
- Critical hits do max dice damage on top of normal rolls instead of double.
Think that's pretty much everything. I'll update this as things come to me.

CHARACTER IDEAS (2+):
Applications will close on Sunday 14th of March. I will read applications as they come in but will refrain from selecting players to join the group until the 14th. Once I'm not the only one in this group, we can choose the additional players together.
I can't wait to hear from you all! I'm sorry in advance if you don't hear back, depending on how busy this gets, I may not have time to respond to everyone.
Hey Jack! I have a group of 3-4 who are all new and are looking to start a campaign! Here is a link for more info about us. Would you like each of us to fill out an application in this case or maybe you and I can chat a little in DMs! :)
Schedule: Any time on weekends and from 4pm to 2pm Sunday-Thursday
D&D experience: A couple months, the campaign fell short due to the virus
Improv/Acting/Roleplay Experience: I used to read stories to younger kids in grade school, and I always made sure to read dialogue with emphasis, and always acted out the actions. kids loved it.
Preferred Game Style: I like a challenge. Bring forth the inevitable character deaths! But for combat wise, I would like a "Roll for Initiative" style, Highest roll goes first and the turns go from there.
Preferred Setting: I'll just follow along with what you are looking for. It's fun to do stuff blindly.
What do I bring to the table: Uhh, isn't my presence enough? No, but in all honesty, I'm able to bring some laughter, dark humor and some interesting plays.
Character Ideas: The first one I want to Address is a pure pyromancer character. This character cannot control flames in their hand but uses a spoon as a catalyst. I am thinking that this character is gonna be a gnome. I want to add a few homebrew pyromancies, and i'll make sure not to make them too OP
The second Character I have in mind is, Well, if you know the game Dark Souls, I want to have a character similar to the Abyss Watchers, where I deal extra damage to abyssal creatures. An interesting concept I have in mind is when I die, which is most likely inevitable, I come back to life as a hollow, which all my stats increase by +1, but in turn, I roll a dice which goes down the list for who's attacking and I have to attack who I land on. So, I become a neutral target. I can revert to normal status, but I'm not sure how this would work yet.
If you accept me, you can dm me in discord (An'rkhy#3646)
This sounds quite cool. I am definitely interested
APPLICATION:
NAME: Ice_-_Queen (Ice for short)
GENDER: Female
AGE: 35
TIMEZONE: CAT - I live in South Africa but currently play 2 campaigns one EST as well so it will likely not be an issue
SCHEDULE: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday
D&D EXPERIENCE: Still new, only been playing a year
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE: Only what I have done in the campaigns I have played
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: Doesn't matter
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: Doesn't matter
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE? Cookies :)
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+): My first character and the one I feel most comfortable with will be Helevyre. She is a female wood elf druid. She is quiet but extremely unpredictable. You honestly never know what you are going to get with her. She will either want to stab you in the eye for making her angry or be super kind and gentle when you least expect it.
My second choice, but I know a lot of DM's don't really allow them, would be Khaia. She is an Aarakocra Ranger. She has never really been in contact with any other species and find them confusing. She often does not understand their meaning or words as it does not make sense to her.
My previous campaign with her the DM just asked to include something in her backstory about wings being clipped or something so that she can't fly until level 3. So that was added in.
I am very happy to come up with more character ideas if you are looking for something different.
SCHEDULE: Evenings on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Also, mostly available on Saturdays and Sundays
D&D EXPERIENCE: Played 3.5e only briefly 10 years ago, but spent the past year learning how to play and watching different D&D streams
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE: More than 10 years of text-based roleplaying experience, but not much else
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: Great roleplaying opportunities and a healthy amount of combat
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: Open to ideas
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE? A love for character stories and backgrounds and willingness to learn and improve on my roleplaying skills
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+):
1) Dragonborn Barbarian: Path of the Ancestral Guardian. A generally happy and positive person who loves to uses his muscle to assist others while he’s on a journey to find himself and one day slay a dragon. He comes from a tribe with a rich culture, but was shunned and thought to be a bad omen. Despite this, he sticks to his cultural ideals of valuing community and desires to be accepted back into his tribe, or perhaps find a new family.
2) Half-Elf Arcane Trickster. Spent half his life in an orphanage where he was terribly mistreated by both the children and caretakers, which taught him to rely only on himself. He’s a bit of a gambling addict and puts on a charming exterior, but nearly always has ulterior motives. One major weakness of his is children, especially downtrodden ones. (Could possibly be a Soulknife Rogue as well.)
3) High Elf Psi Warrior Fighter. Grew up as the middle child of a nobleman and raised to be proper nobility, but found herself leaning more towards being a fighter and learning how to control some latent psychic abilities. After being framed for the murder of a nobleman and needing to escape her home, she found herself needing to survive the world on her own. This experience has left a sour taste in her mouth towards people in power.
I love coming up with ideas for new characters, and have several made and written down already. Sorcerers, Wizards, Fighters, Rogues, Monks, etc. Some are more fleshed out than others, but I’m willing to keep their backstories flexible. There are some classes I lean more towards than others, and some classes I don’t have much interest in right now.
SCHEDULE: Monday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday after 7:30 EST can go late
D&D EXPERIENCE: 1 year
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE: high school theater nerd, standup comedy club in undergrad (not very good at either but i tried!)
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: I really love utilizing tools given to players to solve unique problems. Roleplay and combat are cool too.
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: open on this
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE? I like to think I'm a friendly player who tries to put the group first.
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+): a bit hard for me to say on this one. Never watched critical role, so im unfamiliar with the setting. I usually try to make characters that have some sort of place in the world as presented to give them more of a stake in the journey.
SCHEDULE: I’m pretty much free any time after 6 Pm on any day except for Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. I am unavailable those three days (unless something comes up obviously).
D&D EXPERIENCE: I’ve been playing for nearly a year now, but I have both been a player and a DM and have written my own oneshots. (I’m the guy who watches videos explaining stuff for hours and hours during my day....for fun).
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE: Since I’ve been both a DM and player, I’m very confident in my capabilities. I love learning about people’s characters and getting to express my own in ways the character would.
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: Any honestly, super into like 60% roleplay and 40% combat, but I’m good with anything honestly. I love getting to know the story as it unfolds.
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: Fantasy setting, though I have looked into modern adapted settings and modules and they can be quite interesting. Either way, I’m up for anything.
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE? I’d like to think that I can bring a lot to the table. I love encouraging the other players and try my best to make sure every player in the group gets to have a voice and gets to play. Since I do do a lot of research I feel I have great ideas, both for the players and any scenarios that could arise.
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+):
My first character that I’m very proud of is my human Barbarian. His name is Hania and he is actually a werebear. He’s a tribesman who was blessed with the spirit of the bear along with other members of his tribe. Unfortunately he chose to travel the world instead of staying and honing his abilities. Due to this, whenever he rages he has some..complications. If an enemy is downed but an ally is still near and he is still raging, a failed Wisdom save will cause him to attack the ally. After breaking his rage he is terribly sorry for his actions and swears to himself and his companions that he will continue to strengthen his mind and his abilities to make sure he can be a protector and not an animal.
Another one of my characters I’ve actually just created is a changeling undying warlock named River. River’s patron is Strahd and they fully wish to understand the reasons for Strahd agreeing to give them this pact. River’s basic appearances are that of a human man with brown hair, a dark skinned female elf with red hair, and others. River is a book worm and carries their tome gained in the pact with them everywhere. Despite the taboo of being a changeling, they are very casual about their abilities and don’t see them as anything to be shocked about when changing their form. However they can be quite moody but curious when faced with meeting new people or going to new places, always wanting to know what the party will be heading into.
Thanks so much for reading! Hope you have a wonderful day!
time to play anytime after 4pm central time zone. Monday through Friday or Mornings Saturday or Sunday.
thinking of a cleric dwarf or a paladin dwarf.
cleric would be of the tempest type which is due to after my temple was destroyed I felt week in the defense of it. I then saw the power of a huge storm and wanted to harness that to help defend my people.
paladin I was a street person until lord Grimlick Ironfist took me in and taught me about fighting for justice. I havent seen him now for 5 years due he went to investigate some murders and missing person in a far off city. I now here he was killed for looking into these mysteries and I vow vengeance on this "organization" for killing my mentor, friend and father figure of my life.
Ok I know this is going to sound crazy but I would like to get back into playing. Now for the crazy part, I havent played for 40 years. Yes I am 50 but dont mind playing with younger people as long as they are over 18. I am very very new to the new way to play and would require some hand holding but people my age are use to having someone help them across the street. Just wondering if you would be willing to take on a project.
I am smart enough to pick it up just need help with the start. Not lazy and I am more of characters die but I would then like to make a new one to bring its place.
Come on give the old man a try. I doubt you have anyone as old as me in your game. lol
D&D EXPERIENCE: Newish. Running in one campaign on Sundays currently.
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE: On and off through the years through various games.
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: RP/Combat/Exploration. I'm pretty easy going. Would enjoy a character driven RP game, however.
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: Completely open to all settings.
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE?: Well, I enjoy the RP aspect to these types of games. I am quite comfortable voicing the character I play as well as embracing their flaws (one of the best parts of the characters in my opinion.) Also, reliable and punctual, and an honest roller. When players roll poorly, that is simply marvelous as it adds to the flavor of the game and the characters.
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+): 1. A human paladin that holds a life long secret that could possibly undo him. 2. A half orc barbarian of little brain, loyal, caring, and searching for his family. I choose not to give out too many details here as I would want these characters to be a surprise to the group, a backstory to be unwoven as the game progresses. That being said, I am also willing to roll any combo race and class if needed for balance, or entertainment if desired.
Please reach out to me either here or on Discord: Rampaging Haggis #5646
Your idea sound extremely intriguing and original! I love the passion you have for dnd and I believe I share that same passion! Dnd has always been an escape to another life full of action and adventure, where you can be anything or anyone you want to be. I would be honored to apply for a character in your campaign! It sounds super fun.
NAME: Jace
GENDER: Male
AGE: 21
TIMEZONE: EST
SCHEDULE: I am free mon-thurs 5:30-9:30,10 ish and saturday all day
D&D EXPERIENCE: I played about 3-4 years of 3.5 with a group of friends before life made me take a break for a while. I then was introduced to 5e which I have been playing for about a year now. I have played almost every class now but no where near every race or combination. I love trying out wacky characters, but also making very practical characters.
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE: I was actually in Theatre in high school for about 2 years as well as several musical showing for choir in middle school and high school.
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: I am very versatile. I enjoy a good mix of roleplay and all in combat. I enjoy role playing for a whole session some days and another day a whole session of combat. Or a session that is a perfect balance of both.
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: As stated before, I am very versatile in that I am always thinking of new characters and personalities and worlds they live in. I love being set in a new place and setting and coming up with a whole story as a challenge.
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE? Usually my dice and a notebook and pen..... kidding. I can be whatever the party needs. I mainly enjoy playing eccentric characters with lively personalities but I have also played brooding silent types. Both have advantages and disadvantages that make the game so much more fun! I am good at making a party laugh, but I'm also good at planning 3 steps ahead of the enemies.
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+): My first idea for a character I want to play in the future is a Tabaxi Swashbuckler Rogue. Basically I want to create my own version of Puss'n'Boots XD I think it would be a really fun character to play with a personality like that. Also an Aarakocra Circle of Stars Druid would be super cool to make. Being a bird person as well as a galactic being essentially just seems super cool!
SCHEDULE: Mostly free on Saturday and Sunday. Probably free on weekdays evening (it may vary depending on how long the pandemic is going for in my country) and I can go late at night
D&D EXPERIENCE: I’m quite new to d&d, I think I found out about it through critical role. But since 2019, I have been watching a few campaings (not only from critical role) and I am fairly familiar with how the game works. Also I DMd two one shots for my friends, but it was very casual with little role playing because they were not very comfortable with it.
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE: Well, I was in theater for 2~3 years in middle/highschool, but I have close to no experience in roleplaying in a d&d game, but I am really interested in trying it out!
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: I don’t have any preferences! I have no problem in having a whole session with just roleplaying or just a really intense fight.
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: Suprise me!
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE?: I consider myself easygoing and open minded, so I really like to hear other people’s opinions and ideas, not matter how crazy they might be! The crazier it is, the more exciting the story and the adventure is after all. I also try my best so that everyone has a turn to shine and develop their characters.
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+): (Don’t know how detailed it has to be, but here are my ideas!)
Old human monk - My character was a butler who served a wealthy family since he was very little. Because of that, he never really had contact with life outside the mansion where he served. One day, the mansion got burned and the family all died; he was the only survivor. Now he is looking for the killers and also to find out what meaning his life has now, since being a butler was all he knew his entire life. (I don’t really have a preference towards my character’s gender, I can do either way!)
Kenku rogue - My character tried to rob a house one day, but was mesmerized by a beautiful painting inside. The owner of the house, who was an artist, caught her and instead of reporting her to the authorities, offered the kenku a chance to learn how to paint. The kenku accepted, but she only knew how to mimic the man art style, not understanding when the artist told her to create her own style. One day the man got really ill and went into coma, and the kenku decided to explore the world to study more about art, so that when her teacher woke up she could show him her original art. (I struggle on how to interpret the “lack of creativity” that this race has but considering their mimicry, thought this was an interesting back story!)
I like these two classes the most, but I am not opposed to playing the role of a cleric, because I also like to play a more support oriented character! But right now I am not finding a good background story for mine, but I will update if I manage to think of one.
Also, I guess I need to point out that English is not my first language, in case it is a problem. I consider myself somewhat fluent, but I don’t often get opportunities to hold a whole conversation in English so my pronunciation might not be the best!
Improve/Roleplay/Acting Experience: D&D and Not much else
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: Blend of RP and combat
PREFERRED SETTING: Don't care
What do you bring to the table: Encyclopedic rules knowledge and willingness to ignore all of it for the sake of a fun game.
Characters: Tabaxi Bard College of Whispers. Mischievous but mostly good hearted wandering bard.
Forest gnome rogue arcane trickster. After a hilarious misunderstanding that may or may not have ended with the words "on pain of death" he left his studies and now wanders the land with a smile on his face and a dagger in every pocket.
Really hope this works out. I've been out of it for a bit and I miss it.
SCHEDULE: I'm from after 7:30 PM EST on Mondays and Thursdays. I'm free all day Sunday.
D&D EXPERIENCE: I played D&D for 6 months but I am familiar with RPGs in general as a big fan of Pathfinder and Divinity: Original Sins
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE: A lot of my roleplaying experience lies mostly in D&D. I'm not the best at voices but I am fairly good at staying in character.
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: Honestly, it doesn't really matter to me. I just wanna have a good time with a great group of people and see how the story goes. Sometimes, it just makes sense to have a full session where we just roleplay or just fight our way through a horde of goblins.
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: I love Dark and Gritty Fantasy. When the world around you has a lot of problems and you know you can't always fix it in a flash, it forces you to really think about your decisions. I enjoy a game setting where the adventure is going to be challenging and hard. For me, it's okay if we fail sometimes because it's definitely going to get me motivated to do better next session.
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE? I just want to have the best game with a great group of people. If that means I need to play the cleric, the cleric I shall play. Also, I'm not a stickler for the rules or about having my moment of coolness. If someone from our party has a cool idea or wants the final kill, I'll let them have it. Also, if we need to get stuff for the game such as subscriptions and sourcebooks, I am also willing to pitch in.
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+):
Reynard Bradly (Blood Hunter, Order of the Lucan) - I was part of a family of farmers, trying to put food on the table and enjoy the simplicity in life. One day, my parents, sister and I travelled to the city to sell the crops we reaped from the fall harvest. As the load lead into the forest, we were attacked by a pack of wild beasts. My father tried to shield my mother but was ripped to shreds and my mother tried to hold them off as I ran into the world. Lost in the forest, I wandered aimlessly. Days, weeks or even months, I couldn't tell you how long I was there for. In an abandon alcove, I found the body of a dead wolf. Hungry and thirsty, I consumed the beast; minutes after taking my first bite, my body started to burn up and I started feeling unbearable pain. My body began ripping itself apart and slowly transformed into a beast I could barely recognize. As I came to my senses, I saw a series of stretch marks and scars all over my body. Standing next to me was a woman named Lydia Lucan offered me a new home. For years, I would train to hone my powers and become a monster destined to slay other monsters. However, when I was 15, I heard that my sister was alive and did not die in the incident. I left the Order in search of my long-lost sister and hopefully find a path not as a monster but as a human being.
Lee Jin (Cleric, Follower of Sarenae) - I was once a sinful living creature who only cared about pursuing their own self-interest. As a half-elf, I was a wanderer who never found a place they could call home. My elven mother was ousted by her own people and my human father with a lack of ambition. As a result, my family was homeless and always poor. My father would try to make money through side hustles and my mother would do her best to raise me as a decent person. However, if being a decent person meant being poor, I would have nothing to do with it. I realized, at a young age, that I could use my elvish charm and my human instinct to swindle people. Whether it was selling health potions that were really red colored water or sell armor made out of bronze coated in steel, I made sure that every single one of my products made the highest product regardless of the quality of goods. As I escaped poverty and entered into a life of abundance, I had truly felt regret for my actions: I saw as one of the faulty carriages I made crash into a church of Sarenrae killing the orphans who lived there. Disgusted and ashamed of my actions, I donated my wealth and decided to become a disciple of the goddess, hoping that one day I could redeem myself for my actions.
I'm super excited about this campaign you're trying to start and hopefully you accept me into your group. My discord is Nithiel #9939
SCHEDULE: Open except for Mondays. Playing a face to face campaign.
D&D EXPERIENCE: Played a ton when I was younger. Just got back into it and I'm completely hooked.
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE: I was a professional actor for almost 20 years. Lived in NY and LA. Currently, I'm a screenwriter/novelist. Have a published Graphic Novel through Dark Horse. So, for me, the more opportunity to role play/improv, the better.
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: Role-play, creative combat. Not interested in being in a group of murder hobos. At all. It's important to me that character death is a very real possibility. Don't need it to happen, but it should always be a possible threat.
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: Anything goes. Just not one endless dungeon crawl.
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE? Inclusivity. I believe every player/character should have their moments in the spotlight. If I'm playing with a shy person, I do my best to gently prompt them out of their shell and into taking their place in the party. I don't like game-hogs.
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+): Any martial class that's needed to balance out the party. And any race that makes sense to the story. I'd prefer a rogue (Swashbuckler or Arcane Trickster) or Barbarian (Totem Warrior). But wouldn't mind a Ranger (Gloom Stalker) or Fighter. Happy to work with the DM to create what's needed. Just don't want to play a heavy spell caster as I'm still learning 5e. I'm big on writing a well fleshed out backstory for my character(s) and will also shape this with the DM to fit their world.
Thanks for your consideration. Sounds like a fun game you're putting together and hope to be a part of it.
D&D EXPERIENCE: Since 2003 w/ 3e until 5e, also other systems like GURPs, Mutants & Masterminds. Usually as the DM but currently I'm going to be a player
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE: I'm a teacher by profession, every day is Improv with a script. I have a background in singing, classical instruments, and ballroom. I'm comfortable in front of large audiences and improvising for the situation.
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: I prefer to be a frontline warrior but am also rather capable as a the party rogue or bard (I will sing if I go bard). My alignment tends from Neutral to Good. I really appreciate the opportunity for my character to grow and develop, overcoming their personality flaws and also to have the opportunity to do the fantastic.
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: So long as the setting is alive with characters that are full of details and the world has a functioning social structure, I can live in it.
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE? I bring a deep roleplaying character with a thorough backstory and with plenty of plot hooks for a DM to get caught up in. I also like to assist the DM in minor tasks to free up said DM for the storytelling, such as queuing the music for a scene, backdrop posting in Discord, or being a spell/rules gofer to help smooth out gameplay at the table. I also like to help out players not just on scene but behind the scenes with encouraging words. I like to cheerlead, I guess. I feel it helps the experience at the table when everyone is into it. I also take notes to not lose details.
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+):
Jakt Blacklaw is an abandoned Tabaxi that grew up in the alleys and rose to prominence in the shadowy underbelly of the city as an enforcer for the Thieves Guild. He doesn't know who his parents are and has begun hearing voices in his head. (Barbarian Path of the Ancestral Guardian).
Z4-KU is a recently activated warforged who was found in an old mansion. His protocols define him as a bodyguard but his primary is unaccounted for. He is currently travelling the world in search of the bloodline whom he is programmed to guard. (Fighter Cavalier)
Tetran Harrow is a down-on-his-luck half-elf that gambled away his family inheritance. Agreeing to a job to steal an artifact, Tetran's luck followed him and he wound up trapped inside a museum holding various ancient weapons. Seizing an old blade from a wall, Tetran used it to try to pry open a window with which to escape. Instead, the blade shattered and a shadowy form stepped out from within the hilt. Tetran made a bargain with the being and now his soul is bound to the being with the specific job of reforging the broken blade. (hexblade)
I made up these three stories in the past 15 minutes. If you want more, I can create more. I'm not married to any of these but these are but samples of what I can come up with.
SCHEDULE:Most Weekday Evenings and Sat and Sunday mornings or evenings
D&D EXPERIENCE: about15
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE:high school drama class
PREFERRED GAME STYLE:combat and rp adventering
PREFERRED GAME SETTING:swords and magic any fo the D&D worlds work
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE? other than my charming personality I bring maturity and gaming experience
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+):my tiefling warrior Cadenza whos a great tank who is extremely loyal to her team or a dwarf ranger as I have always wanted to try out this class can also play a party healer if we need that as I love the cleric class
Hey guys, I'm so grateful to everyone who spent time and energy on their applications — I love being a player but God, reading all of that really makes me want to start running games again.
I dare say that I would have had a fantastic time with all of you, however, there were only five spaces at the table and in the end, I picked people that shared my enthusiasm for certain aspects of the game or brought something new and different to the party.
This thread is now closed for applications, but if any players drop out, I will be returning here to find more.
Thanks again — and sorry if you didn't get picked. You were all excellent! Take care of yourselves and good luck finding the perfect game!

Hello everyone đź‘‹
My name is Jack, I'm 24, from England, and am currently living in Mexico (EST).
I am an experienced DM and player. I love Critical Role and am looking to form a group of players who wish to play an extended campaign in Matt Mercer's world of Exandria.
I am going to spend some time finding the right group of players and once we have our adventuring party, we will trial DMs with one shots until we find one that we mesh well with.
There is a good chance that we will need to buy the sourcebook for the DM, but split between the whole group it won't be that much. However, this is something you should keep in mind.
Other things to note:
Age: 16+
Group: 5-6 players. I'd really like a nice range of people. At least two slots will be reserved for women.
Experience: Any — I'm happy to show people the ropes if they need it. That said, commitment to learning the game will be needed if you decide to play. It's honestly not that complicated.
Game type: I would like this game to be role play heavy, with strong emphasis on character background intergeneration in the story. I want an epic heroes journey in a sandbox that allows for random side adventures and an interesting world to explore. I also love challenging combat, so a world where death is a real and sometimes likely possibility is a must. Backup characters will be mandatory in this game.
Setting: My preferred setting is Wildemount, and the campaign being the political one involving Xorhas. However, I believe in democracy and will hold a vote when the whole party has been gathered.
Schedule: My timezone is EST. My schedule is very flexible, but I would currently favour weekly games on Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays, or Sundays, in the evening, lasting around 3-4 hours.
As I am looking for like-minded adventurers, here are a few non negotiables I have for this game:
- No evil characters (it only works if all characters are evil or if it is the theme of the campaign).
- Player characters must be original. I don't want to explore the world with a Mighty Nein tribute act.
- Only 1 player of each class. I want this campaign to run to at least level 17 — while there is a lot of variation within some of the classes, I want all of the players to feel useful and unique and I have DMd enough games with three warlocks and two rogues to know that playing the same class does inevitably lead to stepping on one another's toes. Classes will be claimed first come first served. (I am yet to choose a class, but I favour a primary Spellcaster).
- Adult themes and content will be acceptable and at times encouraged — I love seeing the gritty side of a fantasy world. Sex and violence will exist in the game, however, sexual violence will not. Before we begin, we will discuss as a group the things we are and are not comfortable with and we will all agree to respect those boundaries.
- Level 1 start. Heroic standard array (17, 15, 14, 13, 10, 6) or (17, 15, 14, 13, 8, 8). Starting equipment or gold.
- Critical hits do max dice damage on top of normal rolls instead of double.
Think that's pretty much everything. I'll update this as things come to me.

CHARACTER IDEAS (2+):
Applications will close on Sunday 14th of March. I will read applications as they come in but will refrain from selecting players to join the group until the 14th. Once I'm not the only one in this group, we can choose the additional players together.
I can't wait to hear from you all! I'm sorry in advance if you don't hear back, depending on how busy this gets, I may not have time to respond to everyone.
Hey Jack!
I have a group of 3-4 who are all new and are looking to start a campaign! Here is a link for more info about us.
Would you like each of us to fill out an application in this case or maybe you and I can chat a little in DMs! :)
Name: Just call me An'rkhy
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Timezone: PST
Schedule: Any time on weekends and from 4pm to 2pm Sunday-Thursday
D&D experience: A couple months, the campaign fell short due to the virus
Improv/Acting/Roleplay Experience: I used to read stories to younger kids in grade school, and I always made sure to read dialogue with emphasis, and always acted out the actions. kids loved it.
Preferred Game Style: I like a challenge. Bring forth the inevitable character deaths! But for combat wise, I would like a "Roll for Initiative" style, Highest roll goes first and the turns go from there.
Preferred Setting: I'll just follow along with what you are looking for. It's fun to do stuff blindly.
What do I bring to the table: Uhh, isn't my presence enough? No, but in all honesty, I'm able to bring some laughter, dark humor and some interesting plays.
Character Ideas: The first one I want to Address is a pure pyromancer character. This character cannot control flames in their hand but uses a spoon as a catalyst. I am thinking that this character is gonna be a gnome. I want to add a few homebrew pyromancies, and i'll make sure not to make them too OP
The second Character I have in mind is, Well, if you know the game Dark Souls, I want to have a character similar to the Abyss Watchers, where I deal extra damage to abyssal creatures. An interesting concept I have in mind is when I die, which is most likely inevitable, I come back to life as a hollow, which all my stats increase by +1, but in turn, I roll a dice which goes down the list for who's attacking and I have to attack who I land on. So, I become a neutral target. I can revert to normal status, but I'm not sure how this would work yet.
If you accept me, you can dm me in discord (An'rkhy#3646)
This sounds quite cool. I am definitely interested

PREFERRED GAME STYLE: Doesn't matter
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: Doesn't matter
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE? Cookies :)
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+): My first character and the one I feel most comfortable with will be Helevyre. She is a female wood elf druid. She is quiet but extremely unpredictable. You honestly never know what you are going to get with her. She will either want to stab you in the eye for making her angry or be super kind and gentle when you least expect it.
My second choice, but I know a lot of DM's don't really allow them, would be Khaia. She is an Aarakocra Ranger. She has never really been in contact with any other species and find them confusing. She often does not understand their meaning or words as it does not make sense to her.
My previous campaign with her the DM just asked to include something in her backstory about wings being clipped or something so that she can't fly until level 3. So that was added in.
I am very happy to come up with more character ideas if you are looking for something different.

CHARACTER IDEAS (2+):
1) Dragonborn Barbarian: Path of the Ancestral Guardian. A generally happy and positive person who loves to uses his muscle to assist others while he’s on a journey to find himself and one day slay a dragon. He comes from a tribe with a rich culture, but was shunned and thought to be a bad omen. Despite this, he sticks to his cultural ideals of valuing community and desires to be accepted back into his tribe, or perhaps find a new family.
2) Half-Elf Arcane Trickster. Spent half his life in an orphanage where he was terribly mistreated by both the children and caretakers, which taught him to rely only on himself. He’s a bit of a gambling addict and puts on a charming exterior, but nearly always has ulterior motives. One major weakness of his is children, especially downtrodden ones. (Could possibly be a Soulknife Rogue as well.)
3) High Elf Psi Warrior Fighter. Grew up as the middle child of a nobleman and raised to be proper nobility, but found herself leaning more towards being a fighter and learning how to control some latent psychic abilities. After being framed for the murder of a nobleman and needing to escape her home, she found herself needing to survive the world on her own. This experience has left a sour taste in her mouth towards people in power.
I love coming up with ideas for new characters, and have several made and written down already. Sorcerers, Wizards, Fighters, Rogues, Monks, etc. Some are more fleshed out than others, but I’m willing to keep their backstories flexible. There are some classes I lean more towards than others, and some classes I don’t have much interest in right now.

SCHEDULE: Monday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday after 7:30 EST can go late
D&D EXPERIENCE: 1 year
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE: high school theater nerd, standup comedy club in undergrad (not very good at either but i tried!)
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: I really love utilizing tools given to players to solve unique problems. Roleplay and combat are cool too.
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: open on this
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE? I like to think I'm a friendly player who tries to put the group first.
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+): a bit hard for me to say on this one. Never watched critical role, so im unfamiliar with the setting. I usually try to make characters that have some sort of place in the world as presented to give them more of a stake in the journey.
NAME: Hi there, my name is Adrian.
GENDER: He/They
AGE: 25
TIMEZONE: CST (Texas !!)
SCHEDULE: I’m pretty much free any time after 6 Pm on any day except for Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. I am unavailable those three days (unless something comes up obviously).
D&D EXPERIENCE: I’ve been playing for nearly a year now, but I have both been a player and a DM and have written my own oneshots. (I’m the guy who watches videos explaining stuff for hours and hours during my day....for fun).
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE: Since I’ve been both a DM and player, I’m very confident in my capabilities. I love learning about people’s characters and getting to express my own in ways the character would.
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: Any honestly, super into like 60% roleplay and 40% combat, but I’m good with anything honestly. I love getting to know the story as it unfolds.
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: Fantasy setting, though I have looked into modern adapted settings and modules and they can be quite interesting. Either way, I’m up for anything.
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE?
I’d like to think that I can bring a lot to the table. I love encouraging the other players and try my best to make sure every player in the group gets to have a voice and gets to play. Since I do do a lot of research I feel I have great ideas, both for the players and any scenarios that could arise.
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+):
My first character that I’m very proud of is my human Barbarian. His name is Hania and he is actually a werebear. He’s a tribesman who was blessed with the spirit of the bear along with other members of his tribe. Unfortunately he chose to travel the world instead of staying and honing his abilities. Due to this, whenever he rages he has some..complications. If an enemy is downed but an ally is still near and he is still raging, a failed Wisdom save will cause him to attack the ally. After breaking his rage he is terribly sorry for his actions and swears to himself and his companions that he will continue to strengthen his mind and his abilities to make sure he can be a protector and not an animal.
Another one of my characters I’ve actually just created is a changeling undying warlock named River. River’s patron is Strahd and they fully wish to understand the reasons for Strahd agreeing to give them this pact. River’s basic appearances are that of a human man with brown hair, a dark skinned female elf with red hair, and others. River is a book worm and carries their tome gained in the pact with them everywhere. Despite the taboo of being a changeling, they are very casual about their abilities and don’t see them as anything to be shocked about when changing their form. However they can be quite moody but curious when faced with meeting new people or going to new places, always wanting to know what the party will be heading into.
Thanks so much for reading! Hope you have a wonderful day!

HI. name is patrick
male
50
central time zone
5 years 40 years ago.
time to play anytime after 4pm central time zone. Monday through Friday or Mornings Saturday or Sunday.
thinking of a cleric dwarf or a paladin dwarf.
cleric would be of the tempest type which is due to after my temple was destroyed I felt week in the defense of it. I then saw the power of a huge storm and wanted to harness that to help defend my people.
paladin I was a street person until lord Grimlick Ironfist took me in and taught me about fighting for justice. I havent seen him now for 5 years due he went to investigate some murders and missing person in a far off city. I now here he was killed for looking into these mysteries and I vow vengeance on this "organization" for killing my mentor, friend and father figure of my life.
Ok I know this is going to sound crazy but I would like to get back into playing. Now for the crazy part, I havent played for 40 years. Yes I am 50 but dont mind playing with younger people as long as they are over 18. I am very very new to the new way to play and would require some hand holding but people my age are use to having someone help them across the street. Just wondering if you would be willing to take on a project.
I am smart enough to pick it up just need help with the start. Not lazy and I am more of characters die but I would then like to make a new one to bring its place.
Come on give the old man a try. I doubt you have anyone as old as me in your game. lol

Sounds interesting...
NAME: You can call me Haggis.
GENDER: Male
AGE: Early 40s
TIMEZONE: EST
SCHEDULE: Monday through Thursday 9pm onward.
D&D EXPERIENCE: Newish. Running in one campaign on Sundays currently.
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE: On and off through the years through various games.
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: RP/Combat/Exploration. I'm pretty easy going. Would enjoy a character driven RP game, however.
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: Completely open to all settings.
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE?: Well, I enjoy the RP aspect to these types of games. I am quite comfortable voicing the character I play as well as embracing their flaws (one of the best parts of the characters in my opinion.) Also, reliable and punctual, and an honest roller. When players roll poorly, that is simply marvelous as it adds to the flavor of the game and the characters.
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+): 1. A human paladin that holds a life long secret that could possibly undo him. 2. A half orc barbarian of little brain, loyal, caring, and searching for his family. I choose not to give out too many details here as I would want these characters to be a surprise to the group, a backstory to be unwoven as the game progresses. That being said, I am also willing to roll any combo race and class if needed for balance, or entertainment if desired.
Please reach out to me either here or on Discord: Rampaging Haggis #5646
Your idea sound extremely intriguing and original! I love the passion you have for dnd and I believe I share that same passion! Dnd has always been an escape to another life full of action and adventure, where you can be anything or anyone you want to be. I would be honored to apply for a character in your campaign! It sounds super fun.
NAME: Jace
GENDER: Male
AGE: 21
TIMEZONE: EST
SCHEDULE: I am free mon-thurs 5:30-9:30,10 ish and saturday all day
D&D EXPERIENCE: I played about 3-4 years of 3.5 with a group of friends before life made me take a break for a while. I then was introduced to 5e which I have been playing for about a year now. I have played almost every class now but no where near every race or combination. I love trying out wacky characters, but also making very practical characters.
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE: I was actually in Theatre in high school for about 2 years as well as several musical showing for choir in middle school and high school.
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: I am very versatile. I enjoy a good mix of roleplay and all in combat. I enjoy role playing for a whole session some days and another day a whole session of combat. Or a session that is a perfect balance of both.
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: As stated before, I am very versatile in that I am always thinking of new characters and personalities and worlds they live in. I love being set in a new place and setting and coming up with a whole story as a challenge.
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE? Usually my dice and a notebook and pen..... kidding. I can be whatever the party needs. I mainly enjoy playing eccentric characters with lively personalities but I have also played brooding silent types. Both have advantages and disadvantages that make the game so much more fun! I am good at making a party laugh, but I'm also good at planning 3 steps ahead of the enemies.
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+): My first idea for a character I want to play in the future is a Tabaxi Swashbuckler Rogue. Basically I want to create my own version of Puss'n'Boots XD I think it would be a really fun character to play with a personality like that. Also an Aarakocra Circle of Stars Druid would be super cool to make. Being a bird person as well as a galactic being essentially just seems super cool!
Old human monk - My character was a butler who served a wealthy family since he was very little. Because of that, he never really had contact with life outside the mansion where he served. One day, the mansion got burned and the family all died; he was the only survivor. Now he is looking for the killers and also to find out what meaning his life has now, since being a butler was all he knew his entire life. (I don’t really have a preference towards my character’s gender, I can do either way!)
Kenku rogue - My character tried to rob a house one day, but was mesmerized by a beautiful painting inside. The owner of the house, who was an artist, caught her and instead of reporting her to the authorities, offered the kenku a chance to learn how to paint. The kenku accepted, but she only knew how to mimic the man art style, not understanding when the artist told her to create her own style. One day the man got really ill and went into coma, and the kenku decided to explore the world to study more about art, so that when her teacher woke up she could show him her original art. (I struggle on how to interpret the “lack of creativity” that this race has but considering their mimicry, thought this was an interesting back story!)
I like these two classes the most, but I am not opposed to playing the role of a cleric, because I also like to play a more support oriented character! But right now I am not finding a good background story for mine, but I will update if I manage to think of one.
Also, I guess I need to point out that English is not my first language, in case it is a problem. I consider myself somewhat fluent, but I don’t often get opportunities to hold a whole conversation in English so my pronunciation might not be the best!
Name: Ben
Gender: Male (he/his)
Age: 40
Timezones: EST
Schedule: Saturday and Sunday evenings
D&D Experience: Five years more or less
Improve/Roleplay/Acting Experience: D&D and Not much else
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: Blend of RP and combat
PREFERRED SETTING: Don't care
What do you bring to the table: Encyclopedic rules knowledge and willingness to ignore all of it for the sake of a fun game.
Characters: Tabaxi Bard College of Whispers. Mischievous but mostly good hearted wandering bard.
Forest gnome rogue arcane trickster. After a hilarious misunderstanding that may or may not have ended with the words "on pain of death" he left his studies and now wanders the land with a smile on his face and a dagger in every pocket.
Really hope this works out. I've been out of it for a bit and I miss it.
Discord RattusMagus#4203
NAME: Nathan
GENDER: Male (He/Him/His)
AGE: 23
TIMEZONE: PST
SCHEDULE: I'm from after 7:30 PM EST on Mondays and Thursdays. I'm free all day Sunday.
D&D EXPERIENCE: I played D&D for 6 months but I am familiar with RPGs in general as a big fan of Pathfinder and Divinity: Original Sins
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE: A lot of my roleplaying experience lies mostly in D&D. I'm not the best at voices but I am fairly good at staying in character.
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: Honestly, it doesn't really matter to me. I just wanna have a good time with a great group of people and see how the story goes. Sometimes, it just makes sense to have a full session where we just roleplay or just fight our way through a horde of goblins.
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: I love Dark and Gritty Fantasy. When the world around you has a lot of problems and you know you can't always fix it in a flash, it forces you to really think about your decisions. I enjoy a game setting where the adventure is going to be challenging and hard. For me, it's okay if we fail sometimes because it's definitely going to get me motivated to do better next session.
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE? I just want to have the best game with a great group of people. If that means I need to play the cleric, the cleric I shall play. Also, I'm not a stickler for the rules or about having my moment of coolness. If someone from our party has a cool idea or wants the final kill, I'll let them have it. Also, if we need to get stuff for the game such as subscriptions and sourcebooks, I am also willing to pitch in.
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+):
Reynard Bradly (Blood Hunter, Order of the Lucan) - I was part of a family of farmers, trying to put food on the table and enjoy the simplicity in life. One day, my parents, sister and I travelled to the city to sell the crops we reaped from the fall harvest. As the load lead into the forest, we were attacked by a pack of wild beasts. My father tried to shield my mother but was ripped to shreds and my mother tried to hold them off as I ran into the world. Lost in the forest, I wandered aimlessly. Days, weeks or even months, I couldn't tell you how long I was there for. In an abandon alcove, I found the body of a dead wolf. Hungry and thirsty, I consumed the beast; minutes after taking my first bite, my body started to burn up and I started feeling unbearable pain. My body began ripping itself apart and slowly transformed into a beast I could barely recognize. As I came to my senses, I saw a series of stretch marks and scars all over my body. Standing next to me was a woman named Lydia Lucan offered me a new home. For years, I would train to hone my powers and become a monster destined to slay other monsters. However, when I was 15, I heard that my sister was alive and did not die in the incident. I left the Order in search of my long-lost sister and hopefully find a path not as a monster but as a human being.
Lee Jin (Cleric, Follower of Sarenae) - I was once a sinful living creature who only cared about pursuing their own self-interest. As a half-elf, I was a wanderer who never found a place they could call home. My elven mother was ousted by her own people and my human father with a lack of ambition. As a result, my family was homeless and always poor. My father would try to make money through side hustles and my mother would do her best to raise me as a decent person. However, if being a decent person meant being poor, I would have nothing to do with it. I realized, at a young age, that I could use my elvish charm and my human instinct to swindle people. Whether it was selling health potions that were really red colored water or sell armor made out of bronze coated in steel, I made sure that every single one of my products made the highest product regardless of the quality of goods. As I escaped poverty and entered into a life of abundance, I had truly felt regret for my actions: I saw as one of the faulty carriages I made crash into a church of Sarenrae killing the orphans who lived there. Disgusted and ashamed of my actions, I donated my wealth and decided to become a disciple of the goddess, hoping that one day I could redeem myself for my actions.
I'm super excited about this campaign you're trying to start and hopefully you accept me into your group. My discord is Nithiel #9939
NAME: Wheeler (Discord Wheeler 1117)
GENDER: Male
AGE: 42
TIMEZONE: EST
SCHEDULE: Open except for Mondays. Playing a face to face campaign.
D&D EXPERIENCE: Played a ton when I was younger. Just got back into it and I'm completely hooked.
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE: I was a professional actor for almost 20 years. Lived in NY and LA. Currently, I'm a screenwriter/novelist. Have a published Graphic Novel through Dark Horse. So, for me, the more opportunity to role play/improv, the better.
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: Role-play, creative combat. Not interested in being in a group of murder hobos. At all. It's important to me that character death is a very real possibility. Don't need it to happen, but it should always be a possible threat.
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: Anything goes. Just not one endless dungeon crawl.
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE? Inclusivity. I believe every player/character should have their moments in the spotlight. If I'm playing with a shy person, I do my best to gently prompt them out of their shell and into taking their place in the party. I don't like game-hogs.
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+): Any martial class that's needed to balance out the party. And any race that makes sense to the story. I'd prefer a rogue (Swashbuckler or Arcane Trickster) or Barbarian (Totem Warrior). But wouldn't mind a Ranger (Gloom Stalker) or Fighter. Happy to work with the DM to create what's needed. Just don't want to play a heavy spell caster as I'm still learning 5e. I'm big on writing a well fleshed out backstory for my character(s) and will also shape this with the DM to fit their world.
Thanks for your consideration. Sounds like a fun game you're putting together and hope to be a part of it.
NAME: Jake
GENDER: male (he/him)
AGE: 38
TIMEZONE: PST
SCHEDULE: Mondays, Saturdays after 5pm PST
D&D EXPERIENCE: Since 2003 w/ 3e until 5e, also other systems like GURPs, Mutants & Masterminds. Usually as the DM but currently I'm going to be a player
IMPROV/ROLEPLAY/ACTING EXPERIENCE: I'm a teacher by profession, every day is Improv with a script. I have a background in singing, classical instruments, and ballroom. I'm comfortable in front of large audiences and improvising for the situation.
PREFERRED GAME STYLE: I prefer to be a frontline warrior but am also rather capable as a the party rogue or bard (I will sing if I go bard). My alignment tends from Neutral to Good. I really appreciate the opportunity for my character to grow and develop, overcoming their personality flaws and also to have the opportunity to do the fantastic.
PREFERRED GAME SETTING: So long as the setting is alive with characters that are full of details and the world has a functioning social structure, I can live in it.
WHAT DO YOU BRING TO THE TABLE? I bring a deep roleplaying character with a thorough backstory and with plenty of plot hooks for a DM to get caught up in. I also like to assist the DM in minor tasks to free up said DM for the storytelling, such as queuing the music for a scene, backdrop posting in Discord, or being a spell/rules gofer to help smooth out gameplay at the table. I also like to help out players not just on scene but behind the scenes with encouraging words. I like to cheerlead, I guess. I feel it helps the experience at the table when everyone is into it. I also take notes to not lose details.
CHARACTER IDEAS (2+):
Jakt Blacklaw is an abandoned Tabaxi that grew up in the alleys and rose to prominence in the shadowy underbelly of the city as an enforcer for the Thieves Guild. He doesn't know who his parents are and has begun hearing voices in his head. (Barbarian Path of the Ancestral Guardian).
Z4-KU is a recently activated warforged who was found in an old mansion. His protocols define him as a bodyguard but his primary is unaccounted for. He is currently travelling the world in search of the bloodline whom he is programmed to guard. (Fighter Cavalier)
Tetran Harrow is a down-on-his-luck half-elf that gambled away his family inheritance. Agreeing to a job to steal an artifact, Tetran's luck followed him and he wound up trapped inside a museum holding various ancient weapons. Seizing an old blade from a wall, Tetran used it to try to pry open a window with which to escape. Instead, the blade shattered and a shadowy form stepped out from within the hilt. Tetran made a bargain with the being and now his soul is bound to the being with the specific job of reforging the broken blade. (hexblade)
I made up these three stories in the past 15 minutes. If you want more, I can create more. I'm not married to any of these but these are but samples of what I can come up with.

Hey guys, I'm so grateful to everyone who spent time and energy on their applications — I love being a player but God, reading all of that really makes me want to start running games again.
I dare say that I would have had a fantastic time with all of you, however, there were only five spaces at the table and in the end, I picked people that shared my enthusiasm for certain aspects of the game or brought something new and different to the party.
This thread is now closed for applications, but if any players drop out, I will be returning here to find more.
Thanks again — and sorry if you didn't get picked. You were all excellent! Take care of yourselves and good luck finding the perfect game!
