I'm going to be running a new group through a little newbie One-Shot known as The Delian Tomb. Please don't read the other threads if you'd like to play in this one. This is a very basic adventure just meant to help you learn the mechanics, rules, and get an idea of how to play so you can go into a long-term game with a little experience under your belt.
Here's what I'm looking for:
Brand new players who have been watching videos, listening to podcasts, reading blogs, etc, related to D&D and are now excited to give it a shot for the first time. I would expect you to have done some basic research to know how to play, but anything you don't know I will help you figure out. If you have played more than once or twice before I'd respectfully ask you to let the brand new folks have this one.
Be able to post Once per Day. I usually update around 1am Pacific Time, it's Play by Post so keep in mind it's going to be a little bit slow going and it's likely some people will drop out. I'll try to keep the game flowing, though.
Basic races only (nothing more exotic than Dragonborn). Any regular class is fine. Put a little thought into your character, give them some sort of personality and try to get into the RP mindset.
Overly flowery prose is not required. In fact, you might even say it's frowned upon. We don't need to read 2 paragraphs about the wind flowing through your hair. Not to say you can't get descriptive in your RP, just don't overdo it.
Proper spelling and grammar IS required! Sorry, personal pet peeve of mine. If you use certain words (such as: your, you're, their, there and they're) incorrectly I will give you disadvantage on all of your rolls in the next combat. (Not really, but still...)
Standard Points Array, no need to worry too much about items, I'll assume everyone has food and the basics, etc. Starting at level 1. You will be using the Character Generator on this site. Please make sure to remember to EQUIP your armor and weapons or else your stats will be off.
First 5 to reply are in. Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck, all.
Hey, new player here. I've made a few characters on here, bought the Players Handbook as well as XGtE, but am yet to play a game. Voice play/mics is out of the question for me at the moment, so play by post is my current ideal setup for online play.
No kobolds? I've played around with the stats on them a bit and they look interesting. It's those penalties and the pack tactics stuff.
edit: Just a quick note: I've done play-by-post before but that was completely on the honour system. There was no thorough set of rules to fall back on (fall damage, chance to hit, etc.), so I know how to write. I just don't know how to do D&D properly, and it looks interesting.
No Kobolds, sorry Squish. I'm very lax on stuff like fall damage or movement speed, but if you're interested in joining we'd be happy to have you. Let me know.
Player's Handbook only? Okay. It'll take me a few minutes to look up what I'm doing, then.
Although kobolds essentially embody the whole 'with advantage/with disadvantage' part of rolling, from what I can see on them. Nothing else has both things going on at the same time, and it's pretty confusing. Which takes precedence?
Edit: High-Elf Warlock with a Great Old Ones patron, I think. Not that anyone saw that class coming. Additionally: Crap Guide to Warlock.

Hey-o! Your post caught my interest. I'm not completely inexperienced, but I really haven't played any games, which is a shame.
