Please read this entire post before responding in the forum if you wish to apply.

This is a new campaign for 6 Players.  Currently we have 5 players, so just looking for 1 more.  The campaign will be based on Dungeons & Dragons: Neverwinter which is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Cryptic Studios and published by Perfect World Entertainment as well as Forgotten Realm canon.

This is an open-ended campaign which will be based out of Neverwinter beginning in the year 1479 DR.  The campaign will be focused on the city to start.  The possibility to go all up and down the Sword Coast to all of Faerun itself exists.  Although I will be trying to keep the story within the canon of the Forgotten Realms, this is Dungeons and Dragons, and the party will shape the world so at times the party may create our on canon.

I’m an old Dungeon Master just learning to Navigate the VTT (Virtual Tabletop) world.  The campaign is open to players of all experience levels.  So far, the group consists of 3 experienced DM's who will be players.  As well there are 2 newer players, but they have already shown a good attitude and a desire to learn.  The group would prefer the last person to be of similar background, so I am continuing to screen applicants.

Players are required to use/do the following:

• Commit to a weekly 4-hour session starting on Wednesday evening evenings starting at 5:00 PM Pacific, 6:00 PM Mountain, 7:00 PM Central, 8:00 PM Eastern. If you can not commit to this time do not bother applying.
• Create an interesting character that will be starting at level 3. People will have the option to use Standard Array, Point Buy, or Role for stats.  Hit points can be chosen separately as fixed or rolled.  All rolls for character creation will need to be done and witnessed in Roll20 by myself.
• We are sticking primarily to core rules for creation of characters. Additional options are available based on a discussion.  No homebrewed overpowered classes.
• Develop a loose background story that will allow for possible tie ins with the campaign story threads. I will work with you to create this and give you ideas, especially if your not familiar with the Forgotten Realms lore and or canon.
• Build and play their character using D&D Beyond.
• Use the Beyond20 application in Chrome or Firefox to link to Roll20.
• Roll20 will be used as the VTT primarily for Maps and Tokens.
• Use Discord as this will be the primary form for communication. We will be using discord for voice chat as well to share files, images, and have text chat discussions.
• Have a working microphone and headset or a system which does not cause audio feedback while playing. Webcams are optional, I personally don’t plan to use mine.

Session Outlines:

• Approximately 4-hour run time.
• A brief 5-to-15-minute break will occur about halfway through each session.
• If an individual player is unable to attend a session, we will still likely run. At times if multiple people can not make a session we will be postpone. As well occasionally and during holiday seasons a pause may occur for everyone the recharge their batteries.  It will be up to the player to give a background story as to why their characters aren’t present if they miss a session.  Occasional absenteeism is understandable with no hard feelings about it, life happens.  However players who give as much lead time as possible if they know a scheduling conflict is coming will be appreciated.
• Players who consistently have attendance issues or cancel last minute on a regular basis will be removed from the campaign and new player or players will be added if the group wants. Again, no hard feelings but if you are not able to commit to the time please do not apply.

General Rules:

• Be kind. This is an 18+ campaign and the possibility of people saying or doing offensive things is real. If you are sensitive and have triggers this is likely not the best fit for you.
• Having said that purposefully offensive players who can not maintain a respectful level of behavior will be removed from the campaign. If you get kicked you will have done something to deserve it and been given a chance to apologize and correct your behavior.

Thank you to all who apply.  I will be conducting in person voice discussions with suitable applicants in discord.

The group has held its first official session 0.  After finding a suitable player we would like to begin the first official session 1 Wednesday Oct 26 at 7:00 PM Central Standard Time (Thursday Oct 27 12:00 AM UTC).  If we’re unable to find the right applicant, the start date will likely be pushed back as many Wednesdays as it takes to find the right player.

If you made it to the end, congratulations.  Please reply with a brief outline of you character ideas.  If you just type a simple message like “I’d like to apply” you might not be a good fit for this campaign, and I likely will not respond to you.  I put a bit of effort into this post, so I’m looking for similar people.

Suitable applicants can expect to receive a message sent from me with my Discord username, some more background information on me as a person, and a list of questions on the same things I will tell you about myself.  Once you have read and thought about your answers, we can arrange a time to get together on discord and have a voice chat.

The accepted applicant will then be given an invite to the campaign Discord Server where the links to the D&D Beyond campaign, Roll20 game, etc. are located. And you can begin the process of creating your character, unless you already have one created that is acceptable.

I don't know the types of characters, classes, or atmosphere the party as a whole is going for so ima try and be generalized. The three character ideas I have is playing a bard who's main goal is creating a song that will last throughout the ages. He travels far and wide, lends an ear to any tale no matter how unbelievable it is, if it leads to inspiration of his magnum opus. He has not made up his mind about what the song will be about. Whether it be a song about love, the deities in the world, legendary heroes vs the most diabolical doom, etc. I would like for him to either be an Eloquence or Lore bard. He would be mid 20s. The 2nd character idea is a chronurgist wizard who wants to become immortal so he can become an encyclopedia of history himself. He has seen and read about how history is inaccurate and the truth of the matter changes throughout the centuries. He is unhappy with that being the case and wants to become the ultimate source of knowledge regarding the historical events during his time. The third idea is a paladin who is part of the Neverwinter Guard. I would like for his god to be Pelor, if that is allowed. He has disdain and hatred for nobility and people who abuse their positions of power. But that is out of love for the common folk and the less fortunate. He has seen them be abused and mistreated by those in power. If it is allowed I want him to be a sort of revolutionary type of character who seeks systematic change at locations if it is within his power.

Hey there! Looking for a game to join(Sweet_Bublex#7117). Some Characters i'd like to play:

Yimmir Dtyl (Fighter Drow): Yumir lived his whole life in the Underdark, fighting for survival. In his long live he hasn't achieved anything in regards of status, skill, wealth or magical power. He wasn't ruthless like everyone else, but confing in himself. Then, after a few hundred years have passed, Yimmir felt fear. Fear what the ground he's standing on will forget him. He lived sad and pathetic life, without realizing it, and now he's got too little time to catch up in Overworld.

Brook the Drunk(Monk Drunken Master): There a few places as inviting as Taverns. Place where Tiefling and Goliath, Barbarian and Wizard, Noble and Begger sit together. Young Brook, having nothing in this world, felt that himself in full. Now, he's a drunk with a great dream, of making a safe harbor for everyone to drink, where no one will be left alone. 

Basket(Warforged Monk/ Sorcerer): When you find yourself alive in the middle of the forest, what would you do? What if your hands are made of metal? What if there's a pile of corpses right under your feet? Basket was in that exact situation. Lost in the world he wanders, trying to wrangle power within. 

Bladvin "Trusty" Crow(Eloquence Bard): A sham, a scam, a cheater, a criminal, a charlatan and a runaway. Desendant of a wealthu family trusty have never took a single coin form his father's purse. Taking a street trick to a next level, he made a spectacular performance, only to snatch few coins in the procces. Stolen food tastes better, and life is short. 

Hey I'm so down to join your session, I've been playing here and there since I was a kid. My dad use to dm for me and my little brother. I've played a couple online games but still am no expert. Hit male up if you still have a spot. My name is Thor btw

Evening Daniel. 

  Im 57 yrs and all of my online exp has been with VTT and Roll20. Ive played a dozen games on spg that were sub par at best. i never left a table without tipping the dm and once tipped my party. A lifetime ago (81 or 82) i tried my hand at DM and although my friends said i did well i had no desire to continue on in DM role ! I dont particularly care to voice act my characters but encourage those that want to do so. im more about thinking and acting the RP aspect. Id likely not do well in a position of responsibility for the lives of others ... ( tanks n heals). Im ALL about team and advancing as a unit and everyone having a place. 

   i live in ks city mo CST and these hrs suit me fine ! im single i dont have kids. i drive a truck for a living locally. Basically im a no life bum by conscious decision ! I have accounts at roll 20 Foundry VTT discord and Beyond. i own a discord bot you and the party are welcome to invite to the channel ... dumb and kinda cool at the same time. i also have several source books on Beyond but until i upgrade from hero cannot share content. Ive yet to find a reason to upgrade.

  i dont walk on eggshells and dont expect anyone else to. Im pretty thick skinned and can take a good ribbing. i hope to hear from you Dan !
