Game: D&D 5e homebrew campaign
Group type: (18+) Online via discord voice and Roll20
Experience: We have mostly veteran players at the table but we have a story-first approach.
Location/Timezone: Our group is from a variety of time-zones, so anyone is welcome if you can make the scheduled time!
Schedule: We play at 9:30pm UTC (4:30pm EST) every Friday.
Roles sought: We are looking for 1, possibly two additional players if we find the right fit. We are looking to add someone before our game on Friday, June 12th.
Game style: Roleplay heavy sandbox-style fantasy. While the setting can be serious and dramatic, the group itself is very comedic and relaxed. We joke around a lot, and despite playing online, the atmosphere feels more like a group of friends hanging around a table on a Friday night than a highly formal game.
About the Game:
Welcome to Alainn, a long-running homebrew setting shaped collaboratively over two campaigns. This world has been built over years by both DM and players, with character choices permanently altering the setting, factions, history, and future stories. Whereas our first campaign was a more traditional, linear fantasy story, this campaign is exploration and survival focused.
Campaign 2 takes place on the continent of Drakon, where six dragon overlords seized control while the saints of Alainn were distracted by war elsewhere during campaign 1. This story focuses on survival, difficult choices, political tension, and making the most of life under oppressive rule. The party began in a lawless port city of Ragged Roost. Since then, they've become involved with smuggling operations, criminal factions, mysterious relics, and the agendas of both dragons and saints alike. What started as a simple job spiraled into a larger mystery about what the dragons are truly planning for the continent of Drakon. We have been playing in this campaign for about 7 months, but our group has been playing online together for about 4 years. Finding someone who meshes well with our group matters to us more than being an experienced D&D player. We’re looking for someone who:

This sounds literally perfect! Thank you for the opportunity :)

A few years, mostly with 5.5e but I've also tried a few other editions and systems.
Roleplay for sure, especially with other players. Exploration, combat, mystery, etc. are all cool too, but primarily I'm here to do the silly voices, get knee-deep in all the drama, and improv!
I think probably as a sidekick or a companion tbh! I like supporting roles, and I like to make *tasteful* comic relief characters for that (the group mom, the geriatric mentor, the naive tagalong, the lovable idiot, etc. etc.)
The thing I do that gets the most attention is teeing things up and pulling people into my scenes. I do a lot of "As I hear that, I raise an eyebrow in X's direction" or "Oh, we just need to break into the castle? Y can do that! They do crime all the time!"
Bjorik Littlefoot. He's an old dwarf, retired from a life in the mines, and decided to go for one last adventure to check it off the bucket list. Total dad-of-the-group, giving sage(ish) advice, making his famous soups at the campfire, tending to everyone's wounds. I had a great time with it for all sorts of reasons, but I especially enjoyed the roleplay spice of being a very old man who just doesn't give a cr'p anymore. Super direct, no filter, always said exactly what everyone was thinking. Led to so many fun scenes.
Typically I'm wary about joining mid-campaign because I think quite often, people are backfilling because of churn. I've joined a few before where there was clearly a reason for people to have left recently. I think with this one, I'm a lot more eager and excited by the idea because it's long-term and obviously quite well-established, which tells me that the existing group already must have good chemistry.
Absolutely! - I think it's a great way to do it! It'll take some time for me to catch up on all the lore, but I'm 100% here for it and ready to make my mark on the world ^.^
I guess I'm not LOOKING for anything - how long is a piece of string, right? I wouldn't want to draw a box of expectations around the game, I'd rather see what shape it holds already and appreciate it for that. I have faith that a group playing a game together for 4 years must have a good reason to do so, and I'm excited to find out what that reason is!
I'm big on that "poppies grow best on a mass grave" thing - Finding the beauty and the strength that comes out of hardship. I think the things that interest me most in a harsh setting like this is seeing the compassion and humanity shining in the face of that adversity, the drive and determination of those willing to stand against it, and the camaraderie forged in it.
That's perfect! I love playing a support character. Very happy to be a healer that the team hires out of necessity and then adopts, or that the team saves from monsters and then owes a life debt, or anything else that fits! As I mentioned above, I'm big on supportive roles and tasteful comic relief concepts like the group mom or the lovable idiot. Once I've heard more about the world and the point in the story I'd be jumping in from, I can give some more specific ideas ^.^
