I'd be interested! I've had an idea for a character for a little while - a happy-go-lucky (maybe to a fault), slightly clumsy human cleric named Osmund Tyrwall.
Race: Halfling (Lightfoot) Class: Rogue (Criminal) Role: Burglar/Skill Monkey Summary: Orphaned at an early age, Gridolpho was raised on the rough streets of < Insert Large City appropriate to campaign setting here > by an older Halfling member of the Thieves Guild known simply as "Granddad". Gridolpho was his star pupil and he is keenly aware of the fact that he is above-average when it comes to the art of burglary. It's given him an ego when it comes to his own skills. But being a person of short stature surrounded by larger races left Gridolpho with a strong dislike of the other races who he feels look down on him and other Halflings. He constantly refers to the taller races as "Bigjobs" (or, rather, "Feckin' Bigjobs!")
Shortly after he came of age and joined the Guild as a full member, Granddad died under mysterious circumstances. The Guild leaders told him it was "natural causes", but he doesn't buy it for a second. But he also knows he can't take on the Guild...yet.
Gridolpho is brash and loud (overcompensating for his size), but deep down has a good heart. "Take only from those that can afford to gives it. Give to thems that don't has when you can" as Granddad says. Gridolpho usually ends up doing the right thing...eventually.
A consummate thief, Gridolpho doesn't handle downtime well. He is constantly fidgety, keeping his hands busy twiddling one of his daggers, shuffling cards, or (if he's had a drink or two) playing his flute. "Granddad said music was good for the soul. I don't care for that shite, but it does keep the fingers limber and ready for real work." He considers it a point of professional pride that no one really knows how many daggers he has on his person ("Always one more than you think, Bigjob!") or what cards he's holding in his hand ("Ante up and find out!"). Lastly, he has an ever-present metal toothpick in the corner of his mouth. Although that tends to disappear when it looks like he's about to be taken into custody, tucked into a cheek or slipped up a sleeve or down a boot in case he needs to pick his way out of trouble later.
On the job, Gridolpho is quiet, focused, and competent. His faith in his skills and Granddad's training are the closest he comes to religion. He eschews magic and sees "blessings" and "musical inspiration" as a form of cheating. If it can't be done by skill and skill alone, Gridolpho doesn't see it as worth doing. He wears a small, chess-like token carved in the image of a smug, older Halfling on a leather thong around his neck. His nervous fingers tend to go to it when he's talking about Granddad. The Thieves Guild he belongs to used these tokens as representations of their members and Gridolpho kept Granddad's piece after the old coot got "knocked off the board".
Personality Traits: 7' of ego in a 3'3" body. Chip on the shoulder large enough to surf on.
Ideals: For all my bluster, Granddad raised me to do the right thing...eventually. (Good)
Bonds: I will live up to the standard Granddad set and someday make him proud.
Flaws: Chip on his shoulder. Sensitive about his upbringing.
Ah damn folks, My in-person group informed us last night that they are moving and leaving the group. I have decided to take over the DM role there and don't feel ready to prep and follow up with both a regular in-person and a PbP.
Sorry to be a bummer the timing sucks but I am happy I was informed of this before starting and feeling like I needed to drop off.
I have played DnD 5e for a few years and have DMed one shots in my in-person group. Looking to try it out here.
Hoping to connect with some new PbP people who have only the Basic rules and are looking to give PbP a shot.
Posting expectation would be once daily during Mon-Fri. Weekends get tough for me to actively check and post so no expectation here.
Characters are limited to the basic rule set, again for new players without a full access, and it will be a point but. Post characters ideas below.
Thinking about Lost Mine of Phandelver and plan to keep the game lighthearted. Let me know what you all think?
Oniss - Half-Elf Level 1 Sorcerer - ToA
Golden Blurg (GB) - Aarakocra Level 3 Wizard - KR
I would be up for this, though I would prefer a different campaign if possible
Druid or Barbarian
I'm interested. Dibs on a rogue.
Does this link work for viewing a character?

Sounds fun to me!!! I am also new but learning quickly!! I would love to input a tiefling bard with a heart of gold!!!
So that's a Rogue, a RangerorBarbarian, a Cleric, a WizardorSorcerer, a Fighter and a Bard.
I hope the DM responds soon before the offers come pouring in, because that's a pretty well balanced group.
