Game: D&D 5e

Group preferred: Online or in person

Experience: New, although I've been hoping to play for several years and I think I'm pretty familiar with the rules/game design (I've read the PHB cover-to-cover and pieces of other sourcebooks, and I've rolled up a few characters for practice).

Location/Timezone: PST - Portland, OR area

Availability: Weekdays after 7:30PM for online, or after 8:00PM in person (my daughter's bedtime is 7:00, so I can be either online or driving to the game by 7:30). As long as that schedule is met, I will be extremely reliable in terms of attendance.

Preferred role: Player

Game style: Any mix between RP and combat is good with me - since I haven't played before, I don't have a strong preference yet. I think I'd generally prefer to make character decisions based on RP rather than optimization. I am willing to give a more hardcore/tactical game a shot (and am fine with dying/rolling up new characters if that's the type of game it is), but it would need to be with a group that is patient with my potential beginner mistakes. In terms of content, I'm fine with everything except gratuitous sexual violence (I won't object to it in someone's backstory, but I don't want to RP it). I'd also prefer to avoid playing a dating sim, although I don't mind the presence/absence of romance in the game. Otherwise, I try to be very easygoing and am up for whatever the group wants to do.
