Looking for 4-6 players to play with. Most of the stuff will be non-homebrew but the campaign itself will be.

First time DMing FYI.

A few things....

1. Keep it to legacy 5e, as that is what I have the most access to.

2. You may MinMax

3. It is supposed to be hard, so go ham making those characters, just please don't make too busted characters.

4. Starting at Lvl 1.

5. The campaign will be on a separate thread, after we get the session running.

6. Try to post once every 1-2 days, but if we could get on a roll, and all start going, that would be fine.

Good Luck!

Milestone campaign

No, as I am currently getting them from my uncle. If you have a way to, use like Kami or something, or just upload an image of your character sheet IRL

srry :(

Will have to cook up some more stuff for the campaign.

I have some old stuff for a dungeon crawl I should look back at.

Good site for 5e content if you do not have

Everyone on D&DB should have access to the (free) 2014 Basic Rules and the 2024 Basic Rules.  That's probably good enough to get started with creating a level-1 character.

Are you also interested in joining?

Some advice since you're a first time DM...

If you already know what homebrew adventure you want to create, I don't want to dissuade you.  But since you didn't provide any information about what flavor of fantasy your homebrew game will be, I'm assuming that you don't already have a specific adventure in mind.

In that case, I'd recommend starting with published content and then expanding from there.  That'll be much easier for a first-time DM.  Don't try one of the big "1st to 10th level" adventure books: those are too big of a commitment for play-by-post.  Just look for something that covers a couple of levels.  I think that The Frozen Sick is still available for free to all D&DB members, so you could use that.  Or, you could run the Delian Tomb.  Or, if you've got the money, buy one of the "anthology" adventures, like Tales from the Yawning Portal or Ghosts of Saltmarsh or Dragon Delves and just run the first chapter (The Sunless Citadel in TftYP or The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh in GoS or Death at Sunset in DrDe), which will take your party from level 1 to level 2 or 3.  

The chapters of those anthology-style adventures are more loosely connected, so your party will reach a satisfying conclusion at the end of each chapter.  IMHO, those shorter, modular adventures that span just 1 or 2 levels work much better in play-by-post games, where it generally takes months of play to complete even a short adventure, like The Frozen Sick.  (Other adventure books, like Curse of Strahd or Princes of the Apocalypse, are structured with a long-running story that doesn't really conclude until the last chapter of the adventure.  Those adventures are like a whole campaign in a book.  Finishing an adventure like that via play-by-post on these forums would take 2+ years of play, and most play-by-post games fall apart long before that.) 

So, start small.  You're more likely to be able to finish one of those shorter, one-chapter adventures.  At that point, if you and your players are having fun and want to keep the campaign going, you have a nice stopping point where the party has accomplished something and can get some downtime, and you can talk with your players to figure out where to go next.  You could just move on to chapter 2 within the same adventure book.  Or you could jump to a different adventure that starts around the party's current level.  Or you could build out your own homebrew adventure next.  It'll be much easier to create your own adventure at that point because you'll have more experience with being a DM and also with your group of players.  You'll know better what kind of adventure you and your players would enjoy.

Good Luck!  Happy Gaming!

If you or your uncle has a Master Tier subscription to D&DB, once you select your players and add them to a Campaign, you can enable content sharing.  And if your uncle joins your campaign, you and your players will all have access to any content that he owns on D&DB.

I just had a PBP game die and am looking for another game. I have an  unused content share available, so if accepted as a player, I can share my content with your campaign. I don't have everything, but I do have the most common sources of 2014 content as well as the 2024 content. 

I'd like to join! I will roll my ability scores here and then make a character :)

Pip Squeak grew up in the streets of a large city, fending for herself. Because she was so small, people tended to not take her seriously. They didn't make that mistake more than once. She never knew her parents, being fay, maybe she didn't have any and just popped into existence. Pip Squeak is what others called her, she has taken that name as her own. After many long years of effort, Pip has clawed her way out of the slums, but just barely...

Pip Squeak is a Fairy Monk with the Urchin background.

Sylborin Elarion, son of a cleric turned humble farmer, grew up working the fields near a small farming road, close enough to an old watchpost that its signal fires were part of the landscape. When the watchpost went dark and no one came replenish it's pyres, Sylborin took it on personally, lighting the fire himself and keeping watch when he could, training with a local militia as he did so. Eventually he realized that standing alone wasn’t enough, and with little more than borrowed armor and a half-learned oath, he set out to help those far beyond the reaches of his humble farming community.

Bhargus Goldgrip fought in the great war. After the war was over, he worked in a brewery, but he always felt bored with "normal" life. He missed the heat of battle and the struggle to win when all hope seemed lost. With Clangeddin Silverbeard at his side, Bhargus is throwing himself back into the fray.

 You'll need to make the character sheet public for the DM to be able to see it.
