New player looking for a grup starting a new campaign

[scribblehead]

Hello, I'm scribblehead and I'm a new player looking for a small group (2-4 players) that are starting an new campaign. I'm interested in learning and playing classic DnD 5e. A lgbtq+ friendly group would be widely appreciated. I already have a character in mind, a drow rogue with the guild artisan background. Thanks in advance! :)

Hi! Welcome!
Are there any specific campaigns you're looking for? Or anything specific you're looking for in a homebrew D&D 5e campaign?

[scribblehead]

No specific campaigns, but I'd love a game that focuses on roleplay and storytelling. Combat seems nice too, but I like writing compelling characters and backstories. So being able to work with other players or the dm to make the backstory feel like a strong part of the world would be nice!

@scribblehead Okay then...

I suppose I can try and cobble a game together for you and a small group.

Can you describe more of your character you had in mind? I can try and base part of a game off of the backstory.

Can I toss my hat in the ring for this as a player?

@southern cross

I certainly don't mind. ^_^ Welcome.

@scribblehead What say you?

@Guardian Angel Haruki
I would love to play with you! The character I had in mind is a drow rogue with the guild artisan background who was adopted by a dwarf. What time do you think about hosting the game? I'm free weekends from 12pm pst to 9pm pst.

@Guardian Angel Haruki Mind if I join in? I also don't mind to run something for a small group here if you would prefer to play! I would love to play a healer: Either a cleric of Lliira or a very healy bard!

@scribblehead
Would you be against play-by-post/Text-based DnD. From my experience that is usually what we do here. But the character sounds fun!

@Birdboy
Of course! You are welcome to join! XD

@scribblehead
As Birdboy stated, we usually do play-by-post/Text-based DnD on the Guild, so there's no need to set up a time to meet. It's just post when you can. ^_^

As for the adventure in mind, I am thinking of starting with an Adventure from Keys from the Golden Vault (since we do have a Rogue in the party), and after that adventure, we can either continue with other adventures from the book, or we can venture off into homebrew adventures.

Everyone will be starting at Level 1. ^_^

I am also thinking of having it be in a Homebrew world. The Kingdom we will start in will have a very interesting mindset/rule/problem when it comes to magic.

While people would naturally fear Necromancers, their magic, and the undead, the Kingdom fo Valerith have come to fear Enchanters and their magic much more. "Enchantment is the magic that robs people of their free will," That is what the Kingdom's Ruling Family and its people learned after its tumultuous history.

This fear has grown over the years to establish rules that punish users of Enchantment magic. Today, now it's not just enchantment magic that's banned and severely punished; Stories, Music, and everything from the creative arts are now too. Anything considered as such is punished by varying degrees.

Embellishment in a historical document? The punishment is a fine.
A jester or clown performing? Prison
A song criticizing the Kingdom's rules? Prison
A fantastic story of an adventurer created from the imagination? Prison to Death.

How does that sound for everyone?

@rush99999

Of course!

And with that, I believe that is four.

Go ahead and take a look at my previous post and let me know what you think. ^_^

A ban on Enchantment turning into a ban on Entertainment? Time for a spot of Kingslaying says I.

We may or may not get to that, but the first adventure is a Heist. XD

@Guardian Angel Haruki Well I am definitely playing a clown bard. He's a renegade artist who performs clown-like escapades and does very silly graffiti as an act of rebellion. In reality, get ready for a bard with a disguise kit. Disguise being a clown.

[rush99999]

@Birdboy
Great minds think alike it seems. I'm planning on making a clown too, though she's a hexblade warlock rather than a bard.

@rush99999

They both sound like fun characters. And I am now asking myself, "Oh Dear God, What have I done?!"

[Birdboy]

@rush99999 We should collaborate! This is embarrassing but I know a shocking amount about clowns

[rush99999]

@rush99999 We should collaborate!

@Birdboy

Agreed!

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@rush99999@Birdboy
There are most likely going to be wanted posters out for both of your characters already.
