I'm a DM with several years of experience, and just recently I got into play-by-post games! I'd like to run the Hoard of the Dragon Queen campaign, so I'm now recruiting. I'm looking for 4-6 players with first level characters. We'll be using basic encumbrance rules and milestone advancement. If your character dies, you can introduce a new character to take their place if you like.
Please post a link to your character's profile! In the spoiler are the (optional) Hoard of the Dragon Queen character bonds and features. When we have a full party, we'll get started! Looking forward to playing with you! ^u^
Optional Feature: Cult of the Dragon Infiltrator
You have infiltrated the ranks of the Cult of the Dragon. Having spied on the organization for quite some time, you are familiar with its inner workings and customs. You have a second identity as an initiate of the cult, enough of a facade to blend in as a simple grunt or servant.
Optional Feature: Dragon Scholar
You have studied dragons and their lore for many years. You can automatically identify locations built or used by dragons and can identify dragon eggs and scales by sight. If you fail an Intelligence check to recall lore relating to dragons, you know someone or some book you can consult for the answer unless the DM rules that the lore is unknown.
Bonds:
1. Leosin Erlanthar, a wandering monk, once saved your life. He’s sent urgent word for you to meet him in a small town called Greenest. Looks like it’s time to pay off that debt.
2. When an orc raid drove your family from your home, the people of Greenest took you in. Anyone who threatens Greenest is your sworn enemy.
3. Every five nights, you have a strange sequence of apocalyptic dreams. The world is destroyed by cold, choking fumes, lightning storms, waves of acid, and horrible fire. Each time, the dream ends with ten evil eyes glaring at you from the darkness. You feel a strange compulsion to travel to Greenest. Perhaps the answer to the riddle of your dreams awaits you there.
4. Ontharr Frume, a crusading warrior and champion of good, is your friend and mentor. He has asked you to travel to Greenest in search of rumors of increasing dragon activity.
5. You have heard rumors that your close childhood friend, a half-elf named Talis, has been kidnapped by a strange group of dragon cultists. Your investigations into the cult have led you to the town of Greenest. You must save her!
6. Being the grandchild of a renowned dragon slayer is usually a good way to impress people, but just last week a gang of ruffians attack you. You barely escaped with your life, but as you fled, the ruffians told you that the Cult of the Dragon never forgets and always avenges. You’re hoping to lie low in a sleepy little town called Greenest until this blows over.
7. On his deathbed, your father confessed that he had become involved with a group called the Cult of the Dragon. They paid him to smuggle goods across the Sword Coast. Wracked by guilt, he begged you to investigate the cult and undo the evil he may have helped foster. He urged you to begin your search in a town called Greenest.
8. The dragons destroyed everything you hold dear. They killed your family and destroyed your home. Now, with nothing but what you carry on your back and a horrid scar of the near fatal wounds you sustained in the attack, you seek revenge.
9. You and your family were members of the Cult of the Dragon, until your rivals in the cult arranged to wipe you out. Though they slaughtered your kin, you survived, but they think you’re dead. Now is your chance for vengeance! Your hit list consists of three names: a human cultist named Frulam Mondath, a half-orc named Bog Luck, and a half-dragon named Rezmir. You have arrived in Greenest, knowing it’s next on the cult’s list of targets.
10. You have a secret. You once were a gold dragon who served Bahamut. You were too proud and vain, to the point that Bahamut decided to teach you a lesson. You have been trapped in a weak, humanoid body, with your memories of your former life but a dim shadow. You remember only one thing with perfect clarity: Bahamut’s command to go into the world and prove your devotion to the cause of good. If you prove worthy, on your death you will return to his side in your true form.

This gave me my idea for the character I just made. A gold dragon that has been turned into a kobold and due to this became a barbarian since this fills him with rage.
Oooh! A hoard of dragon treasure would prove very useful indeed. I wish to back this expedition, likely from somewhere crouched down behind my kobold and gnome comrades, bolstering their valorous exploits with words of encouragement and color commentary, with perhaps a spell mixed in for dramatic effect.
Always fun to have a bard along to stir things up! Sending you the invite! If two more people join or a day passes, we'll close things off and get started!

Myself and a friend might be interested. You can look up my profile, i'm pretty experienced and active. We're looking for a group that's very active and posts regularly. The last few games we've been are slowly fizzling out or just don't update enough. What classes would we need?
I plan to post as regularly as possible. Daily at a minimum, but ideally I'll be posting quite a few times a day. As DM, it in part depends on whether there's something that needs to be narrated/ruled on/NPCs/etc or if it's just party interaction :)

For the past several days, you have been traveling a road that winds lazily across the rolling grasslands of the Greenfields. Perhaps you are an adventurer, on the road from one town to another. Perhaps you are simply taking the journey home after a pilgrimmage. Regardless, as you traveled, you fell in step with a small caravan of merchants and other travelers, various people of which you know nothing other than the fact they are heading in the same direction. Sundown is approaching when you top a rise and see the town of Greenest just a few short miles away.
But instead of the pleasant, welcoming town you expected, you see columns of black smoke rising from burning buildings, running figures that are little more than dots at this distance, and a dark, winged shape wheeling low over the keep that rises above the center of the town.

Crispy here.
Myself and a friend might be interested. You can look up my profile, i'm pretty experienced and active. We're looking for a group that's very active and posts regularly. The last few games we've been are slowly fizzling out or just don't update enough. What classes would we need?

Alright. Just a little curious about how often you plan to post, maybe a little info on the rest of you guys?

I'm interested in playing, give me a moment to whip up a backstory and character!
(What did you want us to use for ability scores?)

I probably should ask this before committing to the character, but would you mind if I used a homebrew subclass?
Throwing my hat into the mix!

So long as it's fairly balanced, I'll allow it!
Dark Star, you look good, I'll send you the link!
I'm turning off the recruiting tag, but everyone who has already posted here is still welcome to join!
