An intrepid group of adventurers band together to escort a loaded wagon of goods to the rugged frontier town of Phandalin. Simple enough: they'll help a friend and earn a few gold pieces for their efforts. But things quickly get complicated....
This will be a very newbie-friendly game, and will focus a bit more on role-playing and a bit less on combat (though there will be plenty of battles fought). Looking for folks who really want to be part of the story-telling, and are excited about creating and playing interesting characters.
To keep things a bit easier for new players, the player characters will be fundamentally good and heroic at their core, and we hope they'll leave the world in a better place at the end of this campaign. But at the same time, none of them are angels -- everyone has weaknesses and flaws, and we'll enjoy seeing how those play out too!
Assumptions
Game play will run for a couple of months of weekly play, and could lead to additional campaigns.
Players are courteous, encouraging, and patient with each other.
We'll use Roll20 and Discord for voice (and optional video).
Players will start with pre-built characters and some basic backstories, but there is a plenty of room for the details to be fleshed by individual players.
Games will likely all be run on weekday evenings after 6:00pm MST (GMT-7), but there may be some flexibility depending on player schedules.
We will do a "session zero" the week of the 27th, and run weekly thereafter.
Requirements
Everyone has a decent mic and a reasonable connection.
LGBTQ+ friendly, female-friendly, culturally sensitive...and, more generally, everyone will be courteous, encouraging, inclusive, and just plain nice to each other.

Hi. I would be interested in joining. I have a good mic and have roll 20/discord(it's Forrest Gump#2830). I am on est time but can make mst work depending on session length. I can't play Wednesdays or Thursdays. I recently joined d&d like a month ago and am in 2 other campaigns. Only problem is I am 13 and some people have a problem playing with people my age even though I can play fine. I am not very new at the game so I can still play as well as any other newbie despite my age. If accepted I would prefer to be called by my character's name. I am not comfortable with video if that's ok I would rather just use voice. I don't really know why you would enjoy playing with me. I am pretty much like any other d&d player where I am a team player and help out the rest of the party. Outside of Role-playing games I play sports and video games with my friends(not fortnite). If I was away for any reason which I don't think I would be then I would want to be used in battle as I used my character myself in other sessions before. I would also want to collect anything I could e.g. gold, weapons, crystals etc. If I am able to join pls add me on discord. If not it's fine

Hi I'm a relatively new player looking to join a new-player friendly game
•I like to go by Typhn at first when getting to know people I've met online/through games, and my pronouns are he/him.
• I'm in CST(UTC-6) and I'm generally available weekdays and weekends after 7pm and tend to stay up late so im flexible with meet-up times.
•I don't have a lot of prior first hand experience in actually playing the first group I was in fell apart fairly quickly due to scheduling conflicts, but I really got into character creation and watchimg dnd games online so im familiar with the game through second hand experience
•I'm 26 and my discord ID is Typhn#4561and I use discord frequently, but haven't used roll 20 much, I would prefer voice chat initially but im open to video if you'd prefer that for game play
• As for a few reasons you would enjoy having me in your game, I'd say for one I'm a very outside the box thinker and I like to subvert expectations in problem solving, and secondly I really enjoy science and physics irl and love incorpoting that knowledge in and out of combat to create new unique ways of using established skills/spells
•Outside of rpgs I'm into gaming in general but also movies, tv, and anime of all kinds as well as things like solvinh physical puzzles(sequential discovery is my favorite) and finding things to work my brain
•I tend to laugh very easily and usually at the worst times, I don't cry much but watching Seymore waiting for Fry gets me bawling every time
•assuming games are in the evening I couldn't see a reason why I would miss a game but if I did for any reason I would trust the dm's discretion on how to handle the character assuming the transgression isn't punishable by death.
Sorry for the essay but, I'm very interested in joining you and hope to hear back from you.
i have never played DND before so this is my first time even touching this roleplaying game. My discord is whereyougetthatSSJ?#7007
i have not used roll 20 before but I guess google 20 dice would be ok.
so I would like to join this because I am open to new experiences and I am all fine with voice chat and everything, however I live in the UK so I am 2 hours behind GMT-7 however I maybe able to join the game at the right time. Just tell me when and I’ll be on in a flash!
thank you for maybe even considering me and I hope to talk to you and the other people soon
What is your name/nickname/preferred name and preferred pronouns? Call me Jax or JaxPax. I prefer they/them pronouns but I don't mind he/him
What is your timezone and availability? my timezone is GMT +1 I'm kinda of an insomniac so I keep odd hours. My availability is very flexible at least until the end of october. after that my time will be more restricted due to college starting up again (I'll only be available starting the afternoon of the 21st)
What is your prior D&D or other RPG experience (if any)? 1-2 sessions of a starwars dnd type game (I don't remember the name) that never went anywhere due to everyone being in vastly different timezones
What is your age? 21
What is your Discord ID? JaxPax#4226
Have you used Roll20 before? not really
What are two reasons that we'd all enjoy playing with you? honestly I don't know. I don't have much experience so I'm not sure what I would bring to the table so to speak. All I can say is that I'll try my best and that I'm exited to get a chance to play
What makes you laugh, what makes you cry? Or, sum up your personality in a few words. I have social anxiety so I'll probably be a bit more quiet the first few times but I'm sure that I'll quickly warmup to everyone. Puns never fail to make me laugh but I get kinda squicked out by domestic abuse and animal cruelty.
Tell me something about your interests and hobbies outside of role-playing games. I really love reading (specially fantasy and sci-fi) and drawing and I've recently stated watching anime
Is there anything that might prevent you from attending sessions weekly, and, if so, how would you want us to handle your character in your absence? I can't think of anything that would prevent me from attending at the moment but like I said earlier, starting late october I'll have less flexible hours and less time due to college starting up again. If I'm ever unavailable for some reason maybe it can be said that my character wandered of and got lost from the main party or overslept while the others continued on or someone could even take control of my character for the day
What is your name/nickname/preferred name and preferred pronouns? Noah (No-ah)
What is your timezone and availability? EST (UTC -5) Due to work, I am available Saturday and Sunday only, no time restrictions (starting 2am my time is no problem)
What is your prior D&D or other RPG experience (if any)? 4 sessions of Lost Mines last April-May via Roll20. 2 of the players dropped out, and the campaigned died before it started. No other RPG experience.
What is your age? 29
What is your Discord ID? Galb#5007
Have you used Roll20 before? Yes but am no expert.
What are two reasons that we'd all enjoy playing with you? I'm pretty good at thinking on my feet, learning new things, and prefer to assist other's success than be in the spotlight.
What makes you laugh, what makes you cry? Or, sum up your personality in a few words. Love puns and word play. Loss makes me cry, especially the deep kind that resonates for years.
Tell me something about your interests and hobbies outside of role-playing games. I work 60 hours a week in a lab but otherwise: hobbies include reading (history, science articles, news, fantasy), running, cooking, and I have fish (guppies).
Is there anything that might prevent you from attending sessions weekly, and, if so, how would you want us to handle your character in your absence? If the time is scheduled, I should be most every meeting. If I'll be out of town, I'll know weeks in advance. As for the character, I'm fine with the DM acting or just being "injured" beyond cooperation for that session.
If I don't get picked, no hard feeling. Thank you for offering to DM new players! I hope your crew turns out spectacularly.
What is your name/nickname/preferred name and preferred pronouns? - Cat, He/Him
What is your timezone and availability? - Monday-Friday 12pm-12am PST
What is your prior D&D or other RPG experience (if any)? I've Played a 1 on 1 session with a friend to get me comfortable with DnD (Also a ton of podcasts)
What is your age? - 14
What is your Discord ID? - Gato Rey#5457
Have you used Roll20 before? - Nope
What are two reasons that we'd all enjoy playing with you? - I feel that you'd enjoy playing with me because I try not to be too s****y towards my fellow human beings and my empathetic personality towards others
What makes you laugh, what makes you cry? Or, sum up your personality in a few words. - I am a fan of dark humour at times
Tell me something about your interests and hobbies outside of role-playing games. - I play quite a bit of video games, I read, and I like math
Is there anything that might prevent you from attending sessions weekly, and, if so, how would you want us to handle your character in your absence? - As long as it is kept between those dates their shouldn't be any problems but if I were to not be able to show I would't mind what you'd do with my character as long as it doesn't drastically effect them in any way
What is your timezone and availability?: CST, and the time you have set up is perfect for my weekly schedule.
What is your prior D&D or other RPG experience (if any)?: I’ve played for 6 years, mostly D&D 5e but I’ve played 3.5, Pathfinder, and a myriad of smaller ttrpg modules
What is your age?: 18
What is your Discord ID?: The Sade#4907
Have you used Roll20 before?: Yes! A good few times, though- don’t be scared!- I am a mobile player. I can use the website to its near-full capabilities, the only thing I can’t do is delete drawings and shapes. I have lots of experience (6 years) with the trials and tribulations of mobile D&D, and I can promise that it won’t hinder your game.
What are two reasons that we'd all enjoy playing with you?: 1- I love to roleplay while using different accents and varying energies! 2- I’m knowledgeable of the rules and try my best to keep the game moving when it seems TOO slow. ^^
What makes you laugh, what makes you cry? Or, sum up your personality in a few words.: My humor is all over the place, but I can tell you for certain that overly edgy memes certainly don’t tickle my funny bone, and I can cry like a baby at a truly good D&D moment, sad or happy! Or if a really good character dies in any form of media... I’m a sucker for good story.
Tell me something about your interests and hobbies outside of role-playing games.: Writing, Voice acting, singing, playing video games (mostly fighting games, battle royales, FPS, obv rpgs, etc..), and getting into any manner of discussion!
Is there anything that might prevent you from attending sessions weekly, and, if so, how would you want us to handle your character in your absence?: Once I get a job the work schedule could most definitely interfere, but I’ll do my best to avoid such an occurrence. When I’m absent, just simple play my character as if they were on autopilot.

Tell me something about your interests and hobbies outside of role-playing games. I love creative writing and consider that my biggest passion. I've been writing for ten years.
Is there anything that might prevent you from attending sessions weekly, and, if so, how would you want us to handle your character in your absence? I don't think there would be anything preventing me from joining sessions if I work it ahead. I have a family member in my house that is chronically ill and I sometimes am asked to help with them but it usually happens before the time slot. More often, it'll be me stepping away from the screen for a minute or two at most. In that case, my elf ranger can be in "trance" .

zeb#2651
never used roll20
My two reasons would be that I'm excited to contribute and build a nuanced storyline with the party and that I have a good sense of humor!
Sarcasm and chaotic energy make me laugh. I don't cry much but can become easily sentimental in response to loyalty from other party members
I am a musician, drummer, and composer
I will have rehearsals and performances/recordings sessions that I have to do from time to time. Have no problem with other handling my character.
