D&D 5E [5E][Recruitment]Lost Mine of Phandelver [FULL]

Queenie, you just answered my question about whether or not to use this feature. And I will. Maybe not for IC/OOC thread, but definitely to keep information like setting details or maps in one handy location.

Thanks for sharing! Now, where is that character you were going to work on, hmmm?

She is done! But I figured there were a couple of people ahead of me for spots. I can post her if you'd like but I don't want to steal anyone's fun

This is, essentially, first-come-first-served. I haven't promised spots to anybody at this point, so if you get her posted up first you're in! We've got the other 4; just waiting on one more to get started. That, and for me to get the Community up and running so I can post up other stuff!

[edit: just seen there has been conversation over the past 2 hours as I've made this character; perfectly fine if he's not accepted - making characters is fun, and I'm sure he'll find a place somewhere else]

That, sir, is bitchin'.

Does the community actually remove the threads from the listing in Talk and Play? If that's the case, maybe not a great idea, although I would prefer to have the RG in a Community rather than burying it in the Character Design forum.

Yo. I'm not in this game, but have been watching/skulking. I bookmark the RG threads I'm involved with on my web browser. That way, it's point and click access, without the need to scroll through endless threads in the whatever-they're-calling-it-this-year character optimization sub-forum.

Though, the Community feature Queenie mentioned works, too. She's right, Quickleaf's got a killer one for Spell and Crossbones.

Not that I can't change her background, but she's kind of a pair with another character. After looking her over I recall - both rogues that skills mesh into one awesome roguish delight. It's okay, you've got 5 now. But like I mentioned, if you ever end up with a spot or two and you're not too far along, let me know!

And we have 5:

Anastriana Amodel, Wood Elf Ranger (Forged Fury)
Gnash Fangeldorn, Forest Gnome Paladin (Schmoe)
Keira, Human Monk (hafrogman)
Rebecca de Morshant, Half-Elf Wizard (Skarsgard)
Endurance Wendover, Minotaur Cleric (Kobold Stew)

Recruitment, at this time, is therefore closed. I'll be opening an OOC thread for you guys to start chattering away, so look for that in the next hour or so. I'll also be creating a Community where we can store things like the maps and setting information; I hope to have that done in the next day or so (depending upon work schedule and all). Finally, I'll have an IC thread up sometime today or tomorrow so we can get this ball rolling!

I realized that it would take me too much time to make a good character befitting this setting (busy with my new job), so I happily step back and let you guys have fun!

So, while I'm getting everything together, I've a question. How does one close the recruitment thread? I don't want to have an open recruitment AND an open OOC thread at the same time...
