Game: D&D 5e 2014
Group preferred: Online
Experience: A few years
Location/Timezone: PST/PDT
Availability: Saturday (Any time between 5 AM - 11 AM)
Preferred role: Player
Game style: I'd like a roleplay-heavy game with combat every other session or every third session. Serious combat, too. A homebrewed world where characters and their backstories are important. 

Please, don't ask me to join a Discord filled with dozens or hundreds of people, I'm not looking for a Westmarches or overbloated community. A normal group between 4-6 players with a DM and a simple Discord server. I'm fine with rules as written or the rule of cool as long as the experience is good with either one. Again, no bans on specific species/classes/feats. When planning to play in a game that advertises freedom, then finding out that between 5 to 20 things are banned is a real blow to said freedom.

Allow freedom with backstory. I can understand a DM wanting to change things in a backstory, but players need freedom to play the character they want. Limit backstory restrictions, please.

No paid games. I'm not looking to get Walmart farmed or playing in the same "Unique" Campaign two other groups you're hosting are playing in identically.

Hopefully, I don't come across as picky or "Unreasonably inflexible." But I've been burned too many times. If anyone else with similar tastes to me wants to join, feel free to post on this thread too.
