Hello everyone!
I'm Crispy! Some of you may have seen me around the forums and/or have adventured with me in the past. Some of you may have been in one of my games! If so, it's good to see you again! I'm starting a recruitment thread for D&D's new upcoming adventure, DRAGON HEIST, coming Sept 18th.
CAMPAIGN DETAILS
Here is what we know about the adventure SO FAR:
- Everyone will start at level 1 and be taken to level 5, setting us up for Wizards next campaign: DUNGEON OF THE MAD MAGE. - I am looking for a group of about 5-6 players. I want to have a group that's balanced, tight-knit, lots of synergy, active, and that will make the time to participate. - This will be an urban adventure in Waterdeep involving a heist. And maybe Dragons. Maybe. - Rogues will obviously be very useful and popular here, but you are free to play anything you wish, in fact, I encourage it for party dynamics. - There is not much more info on the campaign as of yet, but I will update as I learn more.
APPLICATION FORM
Feel free to post your application in this thread. Here are the things I will be looking for, as we have some time before the adventure begins and you have time to brainstorm. Take this seriously. I've made some adjustments and modifications to my personal life to allow time for this game, and I WILL CONSIDER SERIOUS APPLICATIONS ONLY. If you blitz through this without much thought, I can tell, and you will most likely be overlooked. I'm looking for players who post regularly, have interesting concepts, make an effort, and who are quality players. But most of all, we're gonna have some fun. This is what i'd like to know:

Azrael was the love child of a Bronze Dragon(LG) and Blue Dragonborn(LE). Two opposing forces in the eternal struggle between the great draconic dieties; Tiamat, and Bahamut. From birth, he was cursed to make a choice between the light and the darkness within him, or so he was told by the many throngs of people around him, growing up in a Dragonborn Enclave, atop the peaks of the Start Mount, a solitary mountain a few ten-days away from Waterdeep.
His mother never abandoned him, and his father had left, afflicted by The Rage of Dragons that would, like clockwork, turn most dragons into mindless killers due to a certain phenomenon. Despite this, he led a relatively peaceful life. Spending most of his time protecting his fellow Dragonborn younglings from the abuses and bullying of those more inclined to violence among their peers, priding himself in his ability to protect the weak from those who impose themselves on others for no just cause.
Until one day, his true heritage was overheard as the Enclaves' elders spoke of his future within their realm. Until this point, he never knew why everyone told him he had to make a choice, or why the bullies tended to shy away from him when he approached, but now, he understood. He did not hesitate.
Stopping only long enough to leave a farewell note with his mother, he set out on his own at the age of seven, to seek a cloister of Bahamut, the Dragon Diety most notable for protecting those who cannot protect themselves, ridding the world of evil, the taint of Tiamats' negative influence, and standing as a Paragon. Finding one, eventually, in the Sword Mountains, where he became an Acolyte after proving his devotion through many rigorous tests.
He spent the next ten years learning the ways of Bahamut, and his clergy. He was diligent, though by no means the top of his class, however, his effort and passion were second to none. His fervent intensity, and stoic faith set him apart from his peers, he was sure this was his destiny to fulfill. He was much more forceful in his devotion to Bahamut than his peers, and hisintimidating form was, in his opinion, to his benefit, using fear as a weapon. Having no qualms imposing himself over those he deems a threat to his ideal of peace.
Unlike most born in a situation divided, he embraced both his evil, and good, feeling that his birth was somehow the will of Bahamut, and he would use these gifts to his advantage as well as fight fire, with fire. This had the unintended side effect of him being exceptionally attuned with Thunder and Lightning. His aura always leaving protonic discharges in his wake, and every time he cast a spell, Azure-Viridian sparks would expulse from his natural well of power as a Sorcerer.
Eventually, he would feel the Call of Bahamuts will, commanding him to leave the cloister, and fulfill his calling. Drawn then, to the nearest source of Tiamat’s taint…
Thus begins Azrael's journey.

EXPERIENCE I have roughly 3 months of Real Life DND experience. and going on 3-4 weeks of PBP experience. Prior to that, i have 15-20 years of roleplay experience in various aspects, including writing a short book, participating in forum based RP though it didn't require rolls like DND.
YOURSELF I'm a homebody gamer, Originally from El Cajon, who loves a good story. I've been playing games since I was 4, and started with the Sega Genesis. I watch a lot of anime, though my tastes have refined a bit over the years to stories like Overlord, and Re:Zero. I read a lot, primarily fantasy, and love the Forgotten realms. I have a good grasp of the English Language, my hands just don't always type the way I expect them to!
It would be lovely to join, especially with a DM like you who already did some adventures in the past.
I actually liked your specification about will to put in the game because I have seen games stopped or dropped almost at the beginnning, just after getting fond of the character and this is getting boring.
My character
- NAME Herman , human (variant)
- CLASS Barbarian
- BACKGROUND : The concept of the charachter I took it from Herman the German https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arminius. Herman is a son of a chief barbarian tribe who is loyal to the emperor/geovernor/chief. As a gesture of good faith, in his youth he has been sent to Waterdeep to study warfare and the like and finally he is blending in, even if the touch of his barbarian origin will never disappeared. Herman is taciturn, but generally good company. He is tall , with curly unkept hair. He wears a cloak made of wolf skin and his little helmet is covered by the end of the cloak: a wolf head
- YOUR TIME ZONE Italy (posting once per day or more shouldn't be a problem) - YOUR D&D/PbP EXPERIENCE experience in both - YOURSELF I am from Italy, I am almost forty, I love music, sport and, of course, roleplay, that I have been playing since I was teenager. - VOTE FOR TEXT DISCORD CHATROOM FOR OOC AND QUESTIONS (YES/NO): YES, for me we could also use it for ingame thread if everybody wants
QUESTION: how do we build the character? point-buy, rolling stats, else?
Raaldo Wilcome Goodbarrel grew up in a lovely farming community with soft rolling hills. His family home was a modest but quite nice hole on a hill overlooking a nearby stream. He spent his days as a lad on the water fishing and on the earth learning to work the land with his father. And he learned from his mother how to cook a few things. Overall, it was a wonderful place to grow up where the values of helping each other and working hard for your keep were good and honorable virtues. However, he was always a restless lad.
As he grew, he began to wander and explore further from his home gaining confidence and increasing his desire to see more of the world. Being an inquisitive sort, he was not shy and several times on his short journeys, he would meet traveling merchants, or sailors going to and from the river’s edge. He would come back home and in the local pub tell his tales of the people he met, things he had seen (and yes, sometimes may have stretched the yarn a bit too thin, but all in good fun). He continued in this way for a while and on a one occasion went as far as a large coastal town that was several days journey from his home. The city was amazing and he had seen and met strange folk from distant lands. He so loved the journey that it began years of travel for the young half-ling.
Through his travels, Raaldo’s courage and confidence continued to grow as did his desire to help the people and the world around him. During a trip back to his home village one autumn day, he happened across a priest traveling to a remote church. Being ever the talker, Raaldo generously introduced himself and asked man if he would care to share a bite to eat. They had a wonderful picnic lunch together on the side of the road and fell into deep conversation causing them to have to make camp and stay the night. The two became fast friends and during that year Raaldo occasionally visited the Monastery where this priest often worked and finally joined the order and began studying the ways of {Diety}.
Ever the traveler, Raaldo realized tending to a local flock was not his calling but he longed to help the common folk and do good deeds through his travels; putting his studies and sense of adventure to great use as he helped those he met along the way.
[Still working out the religion thing... ]
[Also, will re-roll stats obviously once you let us know how you want that done.]

Coriana - Company of the Grey Chain Wagner - Dragon Heist: Bards. DM - The Old Keep
Backstory: Seldor always had a knack for the arcane since he was a child. Whether he was conjuring fire from his hands or weaving magic into his words that would make people view him favorably, he clearly had a talent when it came to controlling powerful forces. So when he turned 17, he found that he was accepted into a prestigious college for talented mages. But after two years of sitting through monotonous lectures about the multiverse and reading old tomes, Seldor found that the college had nothing to offer him. So he left, but instead of returning home to disappointed parents, Seldor took to travelling the world, performing odd jobs for small villages and piling up debts in local taverns. Eventually, Seldor made it to Waterdeep, with plans for a big score and a bigger party already generating in his head.
Timezone: EST, but I should be able to post at least once a day.
Experience: I've been playing D&D for a year now and I've been doing PbP since May. I'm pretty sure that I participated in a campaign you ran a month or so ago.
Myself: A college history geek who enjoys superhero comics, anime, fantasy, and Sci-Fi.
Discord Vote: Not really my thing, but I'm willing to do it if everyone else is.

Xenophon: Topaz Dragonborn Fighter (ixi's Dragon of Icespire Peak)
BACKGROUND: Hagur grew up mostly with his Daddy (human) , learning to take up the family Butchery. His Mama (orc) spent most of her time out in the wilds, hunting and fishing. Her kind weren't taken to very kindly within the more, ahem, "Civilized" Folk. Now, Hagur's never been much for book learning, but he's always had a knack for knives, cleavers, and other bladed things. He liked it. And, not to mention, splitting apart bone and meat spoke to something primal inside...probably the Orc side. Even still, Hagur did enjoy the sort of artistry that he could bring to his more, as the other Folk call it, "Barbaric" heritage. As time went on, there were fewer and fewer customers. They, for some reason, grew disgusted that the meat was coming from an Orc Hunter and began to eschew Hackenwell's services! Now, Hagur's Daddy was always one to stick to his guns. He never let it show to Hagur how it was effecting him, but the young Half-Orc could tell. He tried and tried to pick up extra work, but no place would have him. Too young! They'd say. Too Orcish! They'd say. Well, that's when he found people who wouldn't turn him away. People crawling around in the sewers and under the city. People who slink through shadows and back alleys. They liked him. They wanted him. So he fit right in, serving as a bouncer here, a thug there. It was all too stereotypical, but it was bringing in some much needed coin. Enough to keep things afloat. But, how long could he keep his Daddy away from it all? How long until that other shoe drops? Hagur know's trouble is just around the corner....any corner really. He's just hoping that maybe he's bigger trouble than whatever's waiting for them.
YOUR TIME ZONE: EDT/EST
YOUR D&D/PbP EXPERIENCE: Oodles. I've ran some and been in many, including a couple of your past deals.
YOURSELF: I really enjoy D&D. It's my #1 hobby! As a by-product I guess, I also enjoy reading, writing, drawing, and talking shop/theory about game mechanics and such. I love making up characters (Both for games and not), and coming up with back stories.

Background:Lythril was a Knight of the Order of the Green. She defended her forest for years, not for fame or glory but out of devotion. Many years ago, a necromancer decided her forest was the place to raise an army of undead. The conflict was long and near fatal. She was victorious but was badly wounded.
Her head nearly split, the faeries of the forest did the best they could to aid her. When Lythril awoke, she heard songs and laughter. For a time she forgot that she was a warrior of the green. Instead, she sang and danced with the fae of the forest. That was until another invasion came. The horrors of combat came back to her and awoke the Knight within.
She is in the city due to familial obligation. Her uncle and last living relative requested aid in tending one of the civil parks. Knowing his favorite niece to have the greenest of thumbs, he asked for her help.

I'm currently in Gruesome Tomb of Horrors PbP (having fun) and Trial by Fire (but the DM there only posts about 1 time per week). I currently run a face to face game with fellow school educators.

I will be asking a select few of you for a preview of the character you'd like to play. This doesn't mean you've been accepted, and if you're not chosen for the preview it doesn't mean you're not accepted, either. This is just for my curiosity, BUT it will be another opportunity to sell yourself for a spot in the campaign, so again, take it seriously.
I will announce which people i'd like to hear from in the forums. Then, in a PM TO ME ONLY, you will give me a situation that you'd like for your character to be in and give me a paragraph or two of you role-playing that character in that situation. The situation doesn't matter, i'm really looking for you style, creativity, a little about your character's personality, and to see if you'd be a good fit.

Background: Djeris grew up hard in the streets, where it was sink or swim or, in her case, float away. The hard knocks did indeed make her stronger but they also left her distrustful and with only a vague sense of respect for law and rules. Quick reflexes and a wiry toughness saw her become both handy with a blade and cocky enough to be willing to use it with little provocation, she became known as a reliable enforcer, small and seemingly sweet enough to disarm people with honeyed words and skilled enough to do so with a rapier if that didn't work. Moving from, district to district and then city to city staying ahead of the local watchmen wherever she went she found herself in Waterdeep, almost out of money, maybe almost out of luck but hoping that one big score could end the constant need for movement and get her out of the game for good.
Your Time Zone: GMT (UK)
Your DnD/PbP experience: I played a lot of AD&D and 3rd growing up, skipped 4th and now, due to my hectic homelife only play pbp DnD, but I have been very active in games on these boards for quite a while now. I live in the UK but I'm sat in front of a computer for most of my working day so I'm pretty active until about from about midnight to 5pm West Coast time every day.
Yourself: Father of two boys so therefore constantly exhausted, very much enjoying my DnD revival, I think I write well, work supportively with my fellow players to make sure we all enjoy the game and succeed together. Fairly geeky (and unashamed!) rpgs, comics, computer games, reading sci-fi and fantasy all occupy my time - which seems to be fairly standard on the site :)
Discord: I've used it a lot in the past game alliances and also from games on here so I'm up to speed and would be happy to use it for OOC and questions.
BACKGROUND: Born in the elven fortress city of Evereska, Danitriel and her twin sister Merildra grew up happy children to loving parents. Their family being on good standing with the Guild of Brewers and Distillers in the city, the two sisters learned an appreciation for fine spirits that stayed with them to the current day. Danitriel also found a love of music in her soul and soon began to wonder the North in search for new songs and lore. Along with such she also discovered something else: Slavery. Organizations like the Zhentarim and the Red Wizards of Thay kept folks in chains. This ignited a hatred of slavery and those organizations specifically in her heart and a determination to help the people of Faerun, a determination that is played on the strings of a Harp...

Hello I would love to play in this campaign if possible. I thought I would add some variety to characters presented above and I've wanted to play this character for a while now.
- NAME : Bud Sloppyfist Oatbranamalt - CLASS : Hill Dwarf Monk (Way of the Drunken-master eventually) - BACKGROUND : Son ,of a son, of a son, of a son, of a.... lot of son's of brewers, Bud is a proud member of a legacy of dwarven brew-masters. He is a member of his families guild of beer aficionados, drinkers and makers. Somewhere back down the line his ancestor Barley Oatbranamalt discovered the spiritual enlightenment and empowerment of the brew. He discovered how the art of drinking could tap into the raw energy of Ki and ever since then this art has been passed down to each new generation of brewer within the Oatbranamalt clan. Bud is the latest of his family to receive the title of brew-master, but has yet to achieve the title of drunken master. Clan Oatbranamalt has a saying "A good brew can open doors, but you must enter yourself", this is the wisdom imparted to each new brewmaster. Bud could be here in this campaign for many reasons: On a tavern tour , selling his Clan's brew, seeing where the brew takes him ,or maybe his family has stock in whatever this heist is. Bud would be happy to join in this campaign. - EST - Playing = 1 year , in addition to that I have read all but the latest of Drizzt novels and the offshoots. - I love red meat and cooking bbq, but am unfortunately deadly allergic to it. I have also recently gotten into brewing part of my inspiration for this character. - yes
Race/Class: Tiefling Bard (Planning on multiclassing into Rogue, and probably going into College of Whispers)
Background: Amakos was an urchin on the streets of Waterdeep. Growing up, he always seemed to be humming something, a rather odd trait to be found in a homeless devil boy who made a living stealing from street vendors. This lifestyle, however poor it might have been, had its charms, and supported him until the age of 17. At this age, he was finally caught by the authorities. He barely managed to escape, and as a result was forced to go on the run. He traveled from place to place, never staying anywhere for a long time. He managed to eke out a life living on the scraps of food he managed to steal. Eventually, however, he stole a viol from a music shop, and his life was changed. He managed to teach himself how to play, as he was fascinated by it, and became a street performer. Suddenly, he was earning more money than he knew what to do with. He had a few contacts and friends back in Waterdeep he was indebted to, and decided that he might as well return to the city of his birth.
Your Time Zone: Eastern Standard Time (Michigan)
Your D&D/PbP Experience: I'm somewhat new to the PbP threads here, but I've been fairly active in them.

- CLASS: Rogue (will see wich subclass it develops into, arcane trickster most likely)
- RACE: Mark of Making Human
- BACKGROUND:
Second son and third child of an enchanters family back in the countryside, Flint was never happy being the worst in his family at enchanting items, his father was sought by the lords of town, his brother often made weapons for the high ranking knights... even his sister, more learned in the ways of the house than those of the smith, would help if the higher ranking townguards needed and with the weapons for the market.... but he... he wasn't able to keep an enchantment active for longer than a day, his weapons were duds, and often they were the ones sold only as pranks. This tired him, he ran away from home searching for a different place, for a city where oportunity would rise. He started in a small town but was caught and arrested for selling fake magic weapons to some people of higher ranking and stood prisioner for a month, as such he decided to change town again and as so try again, this time in whaterdeep, same thing happened, tho this time it took him 1month and a half to get out.
As such He's decided to follow other avenues, to hunt the lowly thief and con since he was versed in the ways of it. In one of the fights his favourite dagger was broken, this did help him tho, since then he can recreate it with an enchantment creating trhe missing part it into a green flame blade. He has also, since then, learned how to better enchant other items. One day he'll return to his family, but with stories his family will be proud of, not just lowly street criminals.
- YOUR TIME ZONE: BST/GMT (Portugal)
- YOUR D&D/PbP EXPERIENCE: The games in my signature + your maze of the blue medusa (kinda regret having chosen a kenku for it, died too soon stupidly and wasn't as fun as I was expecting [looking back I see that this fact is probably for me, you and the group that was playing], but had that character on the back of my mind since joined the site...)
- YOURSELF: Started playing DnD to try boosting imagination and to try out some fantasy concepts, tried for a few months to get a irl friends group to play but seems I can only play here, my schedules are not fixed so my posting times will vary by day, tho I can almost guarantee 1 post/day or more.
- VOTE FOR TEXT DISCORD CHATROOM FOR OOC AND QUESTIONS: It may be a good idea but i think we can add an OOC tag in our posts or use the website's message system instead.

Feel free to post your application in this thread. Here are the things I will be looking for, as we have some time before the adventure begins and you have time to brainstorm. Take this seriously.

Azrael Zifandiel
Birth - 17
Azrael was the love child of a Bronze Dragon(LG) and Blue Dragonborn(LE). Two opposing forces in the eternal struggle between the great draconic dieties; Tiamat, and Bahamut. From birth, he was cursed to make a choice between the light and the darkness within him, or so he was told by the many throngs of people around him, growing up in a Dragonborn Enclave, atop the peaks of the Start Mount, a solitary mountain a few ten-days away from Waterdeep.
His mother never abandoned him, and his father had left, afflicted by The Rage of Dragons that would, like clockwork, turn most dragons into mindless killers due to a certain phenomenon. Despite this, he led a relatively peaceful life. Spending most of his time protecting his fellow Dragonborn younglings from the abuses and bullying of those more inclined to violence among their peers, priding himself in his ability to protect the weak from those who impose themselves on others for no just cause.
Until one day, his true heritage was overheard as the Enclaves' elders spoke of his future within their realm. Until this point, he never knew why everyone told him he had to make a choice, or why the bullies tended to shy away from him when he approached, but now, he understood. He did not hesitate.
Stopping only long enough to leave a farewell note with his mother, he set out on his own at the age of seven, to seek a cloister of Bahamut, the Dragon Diety most notable for protecting those who cannot protect themselves, ridding the world of evil, the taint of Tiamats' negative influence, and standing as a Paragon. Finding one, eventually, in the Sword Mountains, where he became an Acolyte after proving his devotion through many rigorous tests.
He spent the next ten years learning the ways of Bahamut, and his clergy. He was diligent, though by no means the top of his class, however, his effort and passion were second to none. His fervent intensity, and stoic faith set him apart from his peers, he was sure this was his destiny to fulfill. He was much more forceful in his devotion to Bahamut than his peers, and his intimidating form was, in his opinion, to his benefit, using fear as a weapon. Having no qualms imposing himself over those he deems a threat to his ideal of peace.
Unlike most born in a situation divided, he embraced both his evil, and good, feeling that his birth was somehow the will of Bahamut, and he would use these gifts to his advantage as well as fight fire, with fire. This had the unintended side effect of him being exceptionally attuned with Thunder and Lightning. His aura always leaving protonic discharges in his wake, and every time he cast a spell, Azure-Viridian sparks would expulse from his natural well of power as a Sorcerer.
Eventually, he would feel the Call of Bahamuts will, commanding him to leave the cloister, and fulfill his calling. Drawn then, to the nearest source of Tiamat’s taint…
Thus begins Azrael's journey.
Occassional Dungeon Master.
Hi CrispyDM,
It would be lovely to join, especially with a DM like you who already did some adventures in the past.
I actually liked your specification about will to put in the game because I have seen games stopped or dropped almost at the beginnning, just after getting fond of the character and this is getting boring.

Herman is taciturn, but generally good company. He is tall , with curly unkept hair. He wears a cloak made of wolf skin and his little helmet is covered by the end of the cloak: a wolf head

QUESTION: how do we build the character? point-buy, rolling stats, else?
Raaldo Wilcome Goodbarrel grew up in a lovely farming community with soft rolling hills. His family home was a modest but quite nice hole on a hill overlooking a nearby stream. He spent his days as a lad on the water fishing and on the earth learning to work the land with his father. And he learned from his mother how to cook a few things. Overall, it was a wonderful place to grow up where the values of helping each other and working hard for your keep were good and honorable virtues. However, he was always a restless lad.
As he grew, he began to wander and explore further from his home gaining confidence and increasing his desire to see more of the world. Being an inquisitive sort, he was not shy and several times on his short journeys, he would meet traveling merchants, or sailors going to and from the river’s edge. He would come back home and in the local pub tell his tales of the people he met, things he had seen (and yes, sometimes may have stretched the yarn a bit too thin, but all in good fun). He continued in this way for a while and on a one occasion went as far as a large coastal town that was several days journey from his home. The city was amazing and he had seen and met strange folk from distant lands. He so loved the journey that it began years of travel for the young half-ling.
Through his travels, Raaldo’s courage and confidence continued to grow as did his desire to help the people and the world around him. During a trip back to his home village one autumn day, he happened across a priest traveling to a remote church. Being ever the talker, Raaldo generously introduced himself and asked man if he would care to share a bite to eat. They had a wonderful picnic lunch together on the side of the road and fell into deep conversation causing them to have to make camp and stay the night. The two became fast friends and during that year Raaldo occasionally visited the Monastery where this priest often worked and finally joined the order and began studying the ways of {Diety}.
Ever the traveler, Raaldo realized tending to a local flock was not his calling but he longed to help the common folk and do good deeds through his travels; putting his studies and sense of adventure to great use as he helped those he met along the way.
[Still working out the religion thing... ]
[Also, will re-roll stats obviously once you let us know how you want that done.]

Coriana - Company of the Grey Chain
Wagner - Dragon Heist: Bards.
DM - The Old Keep
Name: Seldor
Race: Half-Elf
Class: Sorcerer
Backstory: Seldor always had a knack for the arcane since he was a child. Whether he was conjuring fire from his hands or weaving magic into his words that would make people view him favorably, he clearly had a talent when it came to controlling powerful forces. So when he turned 17, he found that he was accepted into a prestigious college for talented mages. But after two years of sitting through monotonous lectures about the multiverse and reading old tomes, Seldor found that the college had nothing to offer him. So he left, but instead of returning home to disappointed parents, Seldor took to travelling the world, performing odd jobs for small villages and piling up debts in local taverns. Eventually, Seldor made it to Waterdeep, with plans for a big score and a bigger party already generating in his head.
Timezone: EST, but I should be able to post at least once a day.
Experience: I've been playing D&D for a year now and I've been doing PbP since May. I'm pretty sure that I participated in a campaign you ran a month or so ago.
Myself: A college history geek who enjoys superhero comics, anime, fantasy, and Sci-Fi.
Discord Vote: Not really my thing, but I'm willing to do it if everyone else is.

Hi There!
I'd like to give this a go.
Name: Lythril Shadowsong
Race/Class: Hill Dwarf Paladin
Background:Lythril was a Knight of the Order of the Green. She defended her forest for years, not for fame or glory but out of devotion. Many years ago, a necromancer decided her forest was the place to raise an army of undead. The conflict was long and near fatal. She was victorious but was badly wounded.

THIS COMING FRIDAY 8/31
I will be asking a select few of you for a preview of the character you'd like to play. This doesn't mean you've been accepted, and if you're not chosen for the preview it doesn't mean you're not accepted, either. This is just for my curiosity, BUT it will be another opportunity to sell yourself for a spot in the campaign, so again, take it seriously.
I will announce which people i'd like to hear from in the forums. Then, in a PM TO ME ONLY, you will give me a situation that you'd like for your character to be in and give me a paragraph or two of you role-playing that character in that situation. The situation doesn't matter, i'm really looking for you style, creativity, a little about your character's personality, and to see if you'd be a good fit.

- CLASS: "Oh, oh, oh, I know this one! I'm an instigator! No, wait. Interestigator? No, that's not it either. Envesterator? Integrator? Ah, crap."

Yep, that's me!"

As a free action, can I regret my life choices?
Hi, Here is my submission for;
Name: Djeris
Race/Class: Air Genasi Fighter
Background: Djeris grew up hard in the streets, where it was sink or swim or, in her case, float away. The hard knocks did indeed make her stronger but they also left her distrustful and with only a vague sense of respect for law and rules. Quick reflexes and a wiry toughness saw her become both handy with a blade and cocky enough to be willing to use it with little provocation, she became known as a reliable enforcer, small and seemingly sweet enough to disarm people with honeyed words and skilled enough to do so with a rapier if that didn't work. Moving from, district to district and then city to city staying ahead of the local watchmen wherever she went she found herself in Waterdeep, almost out of money, maybe almost out of luck but hoping that one big score could end the constant need for movement and get her out of the game for good.
Your Time Zone: GMT (UK)
Your DnD/PbP experience: I played a lot of AD&D and 3rd growing up, skipped 4th and now, due to my hectic homelife only play pbp DnD, but I have been very active in games on these boards for quite a while now. I live in the UK but I'm sat in front of a computer for most of my working day so I'm pretty active until about from about midnight to 5pm West Coast time every day.
Yourself: Father of two boys so therefore constantly exhausted, very much enjoying my DnD revival, I think I write well, work supportively with my fellow players to make sure we all enjoy the game and succeed together. Fairly geeky (and unashamed!) rpgs, comics, computer games, reading sci-fi and fantasy all occupy my time - which seems to be fairly standard on the site :)
Discord: I've used it a lot in the past game alliances and also from games on here so I'm up to speed and would be happy to use it for OOC and questions.

NAME: Danitriel Moonshard
RACE/CLASS: High Elf (Moon Elf) Bard
BACKGROUND: Born in the elven fortress city of Evereska, Danitriel and her twin sister Merildra grew up happy children to loving parents. Their family being on good standing with the Guild of Brewers and Distillers in the city, the two sisters learned an appreciation for fine spirits that stayed with them to the current day. Danitriel also found a love of music in her soul and soon began to wonder the North in search for new songs and lore. Along with such she also discovered something else: Slavery. Organizations like the Zhentarim and the Red Wizards of Thay kept folks in chains. This ignited a hatred of slavery and those organizations specifically in her heart and a determination to help the people of Faerun, a determination that is played on the strings of a Harp...
YOUR TIME ZONE: Australian Central Time UTC+9:30
YOUR D&D/PbP EXPERIENCE: Been playing D&D off and on since 2E and having a blast. Also lots of other games: Vampire the Masquerade, Legend of the Five Rings, Star Wars d20, etc
YOURSELF: Mad Aussie lass dodging 40-man raid boss spiders in the corners of her room.

Hello I would love to play in this campaign if possible. I thought I would add some variety to characters presented above and I've wanted to play this character for a while now.
- NAME : Bud Sloppyfist Oatbranamalt
- CLASS : Hill Dwarf Monk (Way of the Drunken-master eventually)
- BACKGROUND : Son ,of a son, of a son, of a son, of a.... lot of son's of brewers, Bud is a proud member of a legacy of dwarven brew-masters. He is a member of his families guild of beer aficionados, drinkers and makers. Somewhere back down the line his ancestor Barley Oatbranamalt discovered the spiritual enlightenment and empowerment of the brew. He discovered how the art of drinking could tap into the raw energy of Ki and ever since then this art has been passed down to each new generation of brewer within the Oatbranamalt clan. Bud is the latest of his family to receive the title of brew-master, but has yet to achieve the title of drunken master. Clan Oatbranamalt has a saying "A good brew can open doors, but you must enter yourself", this is the wisdom imparted to each new brewmaster. Bud could be here in this campaign for many reasons: On a tavern tour , selling his Clan's brew, seeing where the brew takes him ,or maybe his family has stock in whatever this heist is. Bud would be happy to join in this campaign.
- EST
- Playing = 1 year , in addition to that I have read all but the latest of Drizzt novels and the offshoots.
- I love red meat and cooking bbq, but am unfortunately deadly allergic to it. I have also recently gotten into brewing part of my inspiration for this character.
- yes
Name: Amakos
Race/Class: Tiefling Bard (Planning on multiclassing into Rogue, and probably going into College of Whispers)
Background: Amakos was an urchin on the streets of Waterdeep. Growing up, he always seemed to be humming something, a rather odd trait to be found in a homeless devil boy who made a living stealing from street vendors. This lifestyle, however poor it might have been, had its charms, and supported him until the age of 17. At this age, he was finally caught by the authorities. He barely managed to escape, and as a result was forced to go on the run. He traveled from place to place, never staying anywhere for a long time. He managed to eke out a life living on the scraps of food he managed to steal. Eventually, however, he stole a viol from a music shop, and his life was changed. He managed to teach himself how to play, as he was fascinated by it, and became a street performer. Suddenly, he was earning more money than he knew what to do with. He had a few contacts and friends back in Waterdeep he was indebted to, and decided that he might as well return to the city of his birth.
Your Time Zone: Eastern Standard Time (Michigan)
Your D&D/PbP Experience: I'm somewhat new to the PbP threads here, but I've been fairly active in them. I'm currently in 5 PbPs as a PC (including BDaddLy's wonderful Coliseum of Conquest), and DMing for a Princes of the Apocalypse campaign. Irl, I also DM a Princes of the Apocalypse campaign. I've been playing D&D for probably about 4 years now.
Yourself: I am a nerd and a musician whose specialties are Lord of the Rings music, TES V: Skyrim, and D&D. And yes, in real life, I play the viola (hence, the viol).

- NAME: Flint Greenwood
- CLASS: Rogue (will see wich subclass it develops into, arcane trickster most likely)
- RACE: Mark of Making Human
- BACKGROUND:
Second son and third child of an enchanters family back in the countryside, Flint was never happy being the worst in his family at enchanting items, his father was sought by the lords of town, his brother often made weapons for the high ranking knights... even his sister, more learned in the ways of the house than those of the smith, would help if the higher ranking townguards needed and with the weapons for the market.... but he... he wasn't able to keep an enchantment active for longer than a day, his weapons were duds, and often they were the ones sold only as pranks. This tired him, he ran away from home searching for a different place, for a city where oportunity would rise. He started in a small town but was caught and arrested for selling fake magic weapons to some people of higher ranking and stood prisioner for a month, as such he decided to change town again and as so try again, this time in whaterdeep, same thing happened, tho this time it took him 1month and a half to get out.
As such He's decided to follow other avenues, to hunt the lowly thief and con since he was versed in the ways of it. In one of the fights his favourite dagger was broken, this did help him tho, since then he can recreate it with an enchantment creating trhe missing part it into a green flame blade. He has also, since then, learned how to better enchant other items. One day he'll return to his family, but with stories his family will be proud of, not just lowly street criminals.
