Hi everyone I'm venturing into DMing and thought this would be a good adventure. We are in the Humblewood setting starting off at lvl 1, where the party is members of the woodland community of Tower Tree a small community of Humblefolk just taking their lives day by day. There will be quests to explore though various NPC's and has more of a sandbox vibe than a point a to b storyline. Feel free to ask any questions.
Backstory: Milo Mossheart was born to a family of farmers near Tower Tree. Farming had been in the family for generations so of course it was expected for Milo to follow in his parents' footsteps. Both his siblings, brother Aldo and sister Cleo, were content to take up the family business, but Milo, ever the oddball of the family, was always restless. He yearned to see the wider world and explore its hidden treasures and secret places. He longed for a life of adventure and excitement. Against his parents' wishes, he decided to embark upon a life on the road when he came of age, taking his grandfather's lute along because he knew it would help him pay for his expenses. Little did Milo know, but he actually had a talent for the instrument! As he explored the areas close to Tower Tree, Milo made sure to drop by every taven and inn he came across to play an increasing variety of songs, both already known ones and some of his own creation. Many innkeepers would provide him food and lodging in return for entertaining their customers and to Milo this new lifestyle was everything he wanted and more!

Class: Fighter (Scofflaw)
Backstory:
The youngest in a large family of Jerbeen, Rowan was always determined to prove himself. He expressed this by always getting into fights, there was never a day he came home without a scrape or a bruise. However, his acting out never drew the attention he wanted and, feeling overshadowed by his older siblings, Rowan ran away from home at a young age, seeking adventure and a chance to make a name for himself. Rowan found companionship among the Bandit Coalition, drawn to their daring exploits and the sense of belonging they offered. His small size and deft feet made him a great Runner for the organisation. However, as he spent more time with them, Rowan began to question their motives and the harm they caused. Eventually, he made the difficult decision to leave the bandits, determined to use his skills for a greater purpose. Now, Rowan travels the land, seeking to atone for his past misdeeds and make a positive impact on the world around him.
Backstory: There is always "the guy" in any community and Mig is "the guy". Since he was little, he had a tendency to get into trouble. He was not evil, just bored. Putting snares around berry bushes, unscrewing salt and pepper shakers in the common dining room, putting rocks in other shoes. His family and teachers always pointed out that "oh, you're so skilled, so smart, what are you doing with your life". When Mig got older, he started to get into trouble for bigger stuff. Stealing a horse for a joyride, snatching some nice trinkets from other peoples pockets just to sell them at the local market etc. Got caught too many times, so he's on community service for Tower Tree. Now he is working off the debt. Still up to no good.
Art/ Description: About 20 year old Halfling, 3 feet 2 inches tall, 40 pounds of trickery and shenenigans. Tries not to be noticed, so uses plain clothing that blends in. Black hair that should be trimmed "according to his mom". All in all a very likeable and pretty halfling, that's just up to no good.
Backstory: As only son of a rich family Tails could do as he pleased and got whatever he wanted. This freedom he used to read and spin tales, tinker, create poetry and trying his luck in all types of skills. His parents came to their riches with cunning and ruthlessness hidden underneath a friendly smile but Tales’ smile is no such fake. He may be a bit out of touch with reality but he tries his best to cheer people up and on. Occasionally he helps out at the near temple being rather religious himself. Eager to meet new people Tails is always on the look for even the smallest adventures.
hello, if this campaign is still open id be interested in joining it but I have to admit I have 0 experience with pbp games. I want to know: for pbp games, do you set a time to all post at once or do you just play whenever you have your computer open and happen to notice a notification on dnd beyond?
We do have content sharing set up for character sheets and I think I can share my dice as well, just join the dnd beyond campaign in the Discord channel.

For this particular pbp its very chill pretty much post whenever just make sure its at least once a day and if there is something important happening I will wait for the characters to answer before continuing.
Backstory: Whit grows up interested in making things with whatever is around him. This interest eventually becomes somewhat of a problem when some components are taken from areas that shouldn't be touched as they are private property. Whit develops the skills to become more stealthy to obtain these components. Of course, this led to people discovering this and caused Whit to join a bandit group, becoming its leader thanks to all the items he crafted over the years. However, one thing led to another, which caused him to be separate from his group.

Picture:
Amazing! Looks like we have our party.
Also, Mig if you would like to join you would have to be a Humblefolk or Birdfolk.
The resourceful raccoon-like Mapach who can craft a solution to any problem
JUST - he will create problem out of every solution :D
Are these supported in DDB?
Anyway - would like to join. Will adjust things from Halfling to Racoon.
They are supported, though you need access to the content. Either by buying it, or being in a campaign with someone who is content sharing.
I would guess that Fawkes has access to the content and can set up a campaign to share it.
