[quote=@AlgizHieronymos]what are WIPs[/quote] Works-in-Progress

[quote=@AlgizHieronymos]and can you extrapolate on the Describing rolls.[/quote] How you dodge, block, land a hit, sneak, look, listen, etc.

[quote=@AlgizHieronymos]Opinions; My vote is for one character each until such a time as character death. I am, however, flexible. My opinion is it is meta to create and play more than one character.[/quote]I'm leaning toward one character each. But if there aren't enough players and it's just you two, I'll be inclined to allow (not mandate) two characters each.
I don't think "meta" really fits here. I mean, with a new player that's here only to "win," yes, they'll use that to their advantage. But they're just going to have the insight of those two characters, which isn't terribly advantageous, but can certainly be if enough effort is put into it. Meta-gaming is also not allowed, anyway. So anything that's deemed inappropriate will be requested to be edited in the post.

But send the url of this thread to anyone who might be interested in joining. :)

[quote=@AlgizHieronymos]Also given the format I think it would be too slow to have to play/interact with/read so many characters via posting.[/quote]That's why I added that collaborations are mandatory for the most part. 

[quote=@AlgizHieronymos]That being said, if the DM would like to ask one of the players to run a NPC or something like that I'm totally cool with that. [/quote]This will likely come into play with character backgrounds (family, friends, etc.)

[quote=@AlgizHieronymos]I think we should start at level 0 or 1. I think we should start with the starting equipment stated in the rules I think backgrounds should be used as much as possible. I think anything within the dnd 5e books should be allowed. Basically I think we should try to stick with the rules as much as possible. This will help reduce any possible confusion or disagreements, making the DMs job easier. Also will make it easier for others to join and play.[/quote]We're going to start at level 1.
I will allow either Starting Equipment or Rolling for Gold.
All 5e books are allowed.
See above about rulings.
Agreed.
[quote=@AlgizHieronymos]I would like to have a good amount of RP, maybe one bigger battle a month? Possibly set a time where we can all get together on discord or something and play out a battle.[/quote]This will largely depend on character decisions. The beginning of this campaign is (likely) a combat scenario followed by light travel then another (likely) combat scenario. If that seems too daunting, we could get together in person for the first session and then I could get a summary written up and post it here and then we continue from there.

[quote=@AlgizHieronymos]I will check out the dndbeyond character creation. I think it would be a good supplement but it shouldn't be mandatory.[/quote]Indeed. Beyond can be used as a supplement, but is not required. In fact, Character Sheets are to be posted and frequently updated in the Character Tab (see OP (Original Post)).

[quote=@Akacen]If you want to try out dndbeyond for character creation, I would suggest waiting until [@Phoenix] creates a campaign and adds me to it so I can enable content sharing, so then you have access to everything.[/quote] This.
However, the characters can just be created in the campaign "For Sam" that you created for me since we will not need to be referencing anything in Beyond here. It's going to be kept "in house" as much as possible to keep it as simple as possible.
