Name:Faelynn Evestratstreth Species: Wood Elf Class: Ranger Background: Criminal Backstory: Faelynn grew up in a great forest that was besieged by an evil wizard and his dark minions. For some time she joined in the guerilla warfare against the evil hordes but she has come to the realization that great magic will be needed to defeat this powerful wizard. Searching for a way to save her homeland, Faelynn was reached by the rumour of the mysterious stronghold with the promise of great magic. She now journeys there, hoping to find brave adventurers to help with her cause.
This looks interesting. I remember when I started D&D, rollling the stats and deciding what class it could be. A really low stat (3d6 no rerolls) would determine your class. And HP for the first level was rolled as well. I don't know how my first ever character, a fighter with 1 HP, survived to reach level 2.
And there is the nostalgia of rerunning old modules. I ran my players though the converted giant trilogy for exactly that reason :-)
Alas, I have too many things going on right now to make a new character. And it looks like you have plenty of submissions as well. So this is just a note to wish you a successful and fun game! :-)
When will we know when the team gets picked? So excited to play these older modules. I keep coming back to this forum and re-reading the original post 😂
Surdur apprenticed as a dwarven smith, learning to etch and carve runes, work a forge, and the basics of spellcraft. Someday he hopes to be a powerful enchanter crafting weapons and armor deep underground. In the meantime, however, he has developed a bit of wanderlust and a desire to see the world.
Lol. Thanks for asking. No deadline. I'll pick in the next couple days. I haven't even reviewed any applications yet. I'll be running the classics in chronological order, partially for my own interest and edification. So, hopefully, in time there will be another chance for everyone who applies. I'll try to give priority to anyone who didn't make it this time around.

Could you please tell me if Multiclassing is allowed?

Yup! Multi-classing is indeed allowed, within the allowed classes.

Backstory: As far as Red knew, she was the daughter of a Pirate captain. She doesn't know that she was taken from her real parents when she was still a baby. She grew up aboard the ship around the other pirates while they marauded across the high seas. As she grew up, she became another useful member of the crew. One night, when she was 20, the ship was attacked by the navy. In the heat of combat she fell overboard into the sea. She would wash up on shore much later, now alone and without any idea what might have happened to her crew. Red then took to mercenary life, trying to gather gold so she can buy her own ship and get her own pirate crew to get back on the seas. Maybe she can find out what happened to her old crew. This brings her to the wizards tower. Hearing about the treasure within, she has sought it out in hopes of getting rich and setting out on the sea once more.
Description: Red Lotus is 5ft 4 inches tall. She has fair skin and brown eyes. She keeps her long red hair tied in a ponytail. She is dressed in black heavy armor. While she carries a myriad of weapons, her favorite is a great sword. She also has a propensity for jewelry, wearing a few metal rings, bracelets and a chain. These jewelry are oversized to allow her to wear them over her armor.
From experience, kinda wonky. Lol I'll be updating the battlefield in OwlbearRodeo as we go along so folks can log in and check it whenever they want. Some folks prefer to move their own characters. Some prefer just narrating their actions in the chat and letting me update the map. We'll just see what works best for everyone. Either way, I have a dedicated Discord channel just for screenshots of the updated map. Done this on 3 other play by post campaigns and, though it's far from perfect, it works pretty well!

For what it's worth, I don't have OwlbearRodeo account so... yeah. I guess that's another thing to factor in when choosing players.
I have played with Mike before on OwlbearRodeo without an account. He invited a player in and they got in. It is a bit wonky but it works and the visual battlefield is very helpful whether you move yourself or not. So don’t worry!
off topic a bit: I tried the new Sigil from dndbeyond and it is beautiful. Similar but 3d. When it is 100% up and running it will be awesome.

Can sigil be viewed on mobile or is it desktop only? I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet.
Minimum System Requirements from FAQ:
That will be the limiting factor unless you are considering a Remote Desktop connection.
