From clicking on this thread, you'll know that I'm planning on running the Frozen Sick adventure, which takes characters from 1st to 3rd level throughout the course of the campaign.
A couple of things to note - This will be my first time DMing, hence the reason I chose a small(er) adventure to run. Keep in mind that I will make mistakes, but feel free to send me a PM if I ever get something drastically wrong (hopefully that won't happen). - Preferably, I'd like people to post daily, but I understand if you miss a day for whatever reason - that's the real world. - My timezone is EST, so just keep that in mind if I don't post during my night. - I'm not going to set a specific time limit on how long I'll keep recruitment open, but I'll leave it open until I accept 3 or 4 people.
Application Stuff - Experience doesn't matter, I'll welcome new players and experienced ones. - Stats can be rolled alongside your character ideas (you can always choose point buy if you don't like the look of the roll) - For ease, I won't be allowing homebrew, and most likely won't be allowing UA (playtest) content either. - Any content from the Player's Handbook, Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, and Xanathar's Guide to Everything will be allowed. - For content from the Explorer's Guide to Wildemont, I'll allow most of it (PM me if possible), but I'd prefer the races to be taken from the PHB, SCaG, and XGE. - Again, for ease, I'd prefer only neutral/good alignments. - You can post your character applications (with a bit of backstory) in this thread, but we can work out the character creation in PMs if I accept you.
If I find I've missed anything, I'll edit this post accordingly.

Name: Cade Underfoot Race: Halfling Class: Warlock (Archfey) Backstory: Cade comes from a family of caravan guards but he was never the best at it himself. He had a more gentle heart and didn't like having to fight things off. None of that mattered though when bandits attacked and tore the caravan to pieces. Cade was left for dead but as he was bleeding he saw a vision of a strange demon who offered to let him live if he helped on his mission to heal the world. Not wanting to die Cade readily agreed and has been following the leading of his strange dreams ever since.

Gronk in Bastion, Kingdom of Medrin Elixisysin Talaveroth (Team 2) Uthal in Lost Continent of Theviranne
Backstory: Winters are as harsh and hard as the people who live in this cold northern land. A nomadic Elven tribe came into the small human camp, traded food and stories and stayed for 3 days before leaving. A few months later Kane was born. Kane grew a bit faster than elven children and soon was learning to hunt, fish and survive like his elven kin. His life would have been a normal nomadic one had he not been had a gift from his birth, the gift of fire. Fire knew Kane and he it. It was part of his soul. When Kane reached 18, he had grown and matured far faster than elven children born the same year and had been accompanying the elders on hunts. With great fan fair Kane was given his gear and Pulk and sent out into the world to find his way. He has not seen or heard of his tribe since. A year later stories began to be told about a fire spirit living in the wastes and protecting humans from death and the creatures that hunt people. Kane takes this all in stride but, he has heard of something far more sinister taking hold and has come to see what it is.

Name: Cade Thorngage
Race: Halfling (ghostwise)
Class: Druid (circle of the moon)
Background: Outlander
Alignment: CG
Backstory:
Cade is a wanderer and traveler of the lands. He has sailed on ships across great seas, wandered trackless wild places, and seen creatures of all sorts in his wandering. He loves animals of all sorts, wishing to see every kind of animal possible in his life, and has set himself to doing just that. he has even gone into the urban centers, though he despises such places, to see their zoos and other exhibits of animals from far off places. It sickened him to see those animals caged, but guards stopped him when he tried to free them, and he was forced to leave city after city due to these sorts of actions.
I'm going to close off the recruitment, since I've received some great applications, and more than needed (more than I thought I would get, honestly, lol). I'll review the applications over the next couple of hours (leaving time for potential stragglers writing up their backstories), and make and post my decisions. Thanks for all the great applications!
Backstory: Thurrak was born in Kraghamner to Aldous and Malka, a miner and a cleric. From a young age Thurrak was very rebellious and perhaps a paragon of the stubbornness dwarves are known for. He did not want follow his mother into the life of a holy man like she wanted for her only child. While he did study some due to being forced, before he could become even an acolyte he fled his home and ran north.
After several months of traveling up the coast and from town to town, Thurrak ended up in Wildemount Soon he owed money toa crime boss after getting into one to many bar brawls that led to property damage and other things. What started out as paying off debts led to him working in a fighting pit where he would use his her brawling skills to fight.
Winning some small fame from this helped to get the drunk dwarf enough coin to buy enough ale and heavier alcohols that Thurrak was able to be in a near constant stupor. In one of his brawls where he could not even see straight he ended up accidentally killing one of his opponents. This was the first thing that sobered the dwarf up for the first time in a few years. With little else to do now that he no longer wished to fight and to avoid those that would want to avenge their now dead friend, Thurrak fled even further north to find somewhere to get his life together.
Nixco was raised in a nice home in the city of Waterdeep, her mother retited fighter that worked as a Politician. Her father abandoned them and her 3 sisters when she was young and she was mostly raised by her eldest sister. Nixco has trained with the militia as soon as she was able and found herself in a battle very quickly after enlisting, during which most of her team survived and Ilmater, god of endurance, gave an unmistakable sign and lead her surviving the battle and smiting her foes. Upon recalling this story, the officers and peers in the militia began to cast doubt and shame her as a coward, leading her to retreat to hermitude. She now returns to the world with a great new understanding and a desire to good.
Okay! I've reviewed the applications at length, and tried to create a party that will mesh well together, and also support each other well enough to, well, survive. I've currently accepted 4 applications, and am going to accept one more - it will probably be done tomorrow. I'm going to work with each accepted applicant to finalize their character.
Who I've accepted: - Nixco Pridaat, Human Cleric (Dalekhead) - Thurrak Goblinbane, Hill Dwarf Monk (DarthDrizzt) - Kane, High Half-Elf Sorcerer (leapingmountain) - Cade Thorngage, Ghostwise Halfling Druid (DragonDenn)
Thank you, everyone, for all your great applications. I look forward to selecting my last applicant, and even if you aren't it, who knows - I'm planning on doing more campaigns if this turns out well, maybe you'll grab a spot there.
Before I start the campaign, expect a PM from me discussing your character. I'll probably start the campaign tomorrow or the day after, but if something urgent happens to come up, it'll start Sunday. It'll be run in a private thread, of which I will send you the link.
Edit: I've accepted my last player. Thank you everyone who applied.
Guess I missed my chance, moving quick in here. Looks like you've already got a druid so I won't bother typing up a backstory unless you want a local frosty mountain dude, but here's Klement.

Hi,
never played this adventure and I'd like to try.
I can post at least once per day.
My idea was a smart-mouth barbarian with tactician warfare, inspired by Uthred from Last Kingdom series.
