I would love to play, I am an experienced player with 9 years under my belt :) Also, what kind of additional sources are allowed? (Homebrew, Xanathar's, Guildmaster's guide to Ravnica , etc.)
This sounds pretty awesome, and you do too! Full disclosure: I'm a newb; but if I join your campaign, with a bit of guidance, I'll work to be your most dedicated and versatile player. Happy to create a character that matches the tone of your style. I find I'm naturally drawn to Rogues and Bards, but I'm really just looking for a creative group of quality players where I can contribute interesting, unexpected, humorous, inspiring actions that build a fully-engaging story. If you decide I'm too inexperienced for your group, I get it. I'm just thankful to read your post to know that quality players exist and I might one day join them.
Hey, if you still have slots available, I would love to join up! I took a look at what classes are in the party, and I think I'll run Barbarian so the party could be a bit more well rounded. My discord is HenryRachnera#2743. If you like I can DM you once I've finished filling out the character sheet here on Dndbeyond.
