IC post is up. I'll try to get Surina up in the RG tomorrow. Had planned to tonight, but it's been a long day and dinner didn't sit the best with me.
[5E] [OOC] JM's A Bit of Trouble (Closed)

Welcome to the game.
Hi jmucchiello, are you still recruiting?
I started D&D 5E this year and am currently DM for 2 LMoP groups in real life. However I'm looking to also be a player in my own spare time and play by post seems like the perfect way to integrate that with my work/family life. I can most certainly meet the minimum 2 posts a week easily. I am from the UK so I suppose my posts will a different time to the others which is no bad thing.
I've never done play by post before but I had a quick read of your world and setting and would be interested in joining, I already have a character concept ready to go and would just need to do the creation process.
With me being new to Play by post I just need a little guidance. So OOC thread is for all OOC conversation, RG is essentially the character roster of the party and IC the main thread where the game happens?
Also do I just handtype all of my character creation stuff or do you guys use a builder? I have an account on DnD Beyond which I can use or I can handtype it as I have the players handbook and other physical supplement books available to myself. My character would be very straightforward anyway.
Please let me know

Sure. We started with 5 PCs. We can continue with 5 PCs. I don't use DDB so while you can build your character there, you will have to export it to something usable on the forums. I can't really guide you on that.
Your understanding of the three threads is correct although minor OOC info can be placed in the IC thread using the BBCode [ OOC ] (without the spaces). ENWorld's BBCode is enhanced in several ways to help with PbP. The [ ROLL ] tag allows you to roll dice. [ ROLL ]1d20+5[ /ROLL ] will do what it says: [roll0]. EDIT: Nice roll. When you edit a post with a roll in it, you will see [ roll0 ] for the 1st roll, [ roll1 ] for the 2nd roll, etc. In that way, you can't really edit the rolls in a post.
Post your character here and when I approve it, you can copy it to the RG thread.

Thanks for accepting me as a fifth player, super excited! Great thanks for the instructions on how to do rolls, I'll do one here just to test.
[roll0]
I'll get my character created and backstory fleshed out ASAP. Should be real easy to slot me in with what I'm going for and hopefully not step on anyone's toes.

Veit is not one of the remaining players though.
Everett and Perrin are the remaining players who started the game.
Keth just joined and used Veit as his hook.
Surina is the latest to join and used Keth as her hook. (And will get her character into the RG thread soon.)
Can you give us the broad strokes of you character: name, race, class, background, gender?
And yes, now is the perfect time to jump into the game.

Okay I'll check out their backstories and have a think who I can link up with. Sure I'll give you broadstrokes now and then flesh it all out later when I've got some more time to do a write up.
Name: Zadolix Blackbeard
Race: Hill Dwarf
Alignment: Neutral Good
Age: 132
Class: Fighter
Background: Sailor
Gender: Male
Zadolix is the owner's son of a wealthy Dwarven Merchant Freight company that is family run, known as the Blackbeard Clan, who deal in exporting the precious metals from the Kaurshale mines to the non Dwarven colonies out into the various city states. He will be unusual in that he has sea legs for a dwarf and is quite the free spirit, esteeming that business, as they say, is good for society. In that sense he is less traditional than some of his counterparts and enjoys the freedom and exploration that trade and a life at sea gives him. As the heir of the business Zadolix sees it important to prove his own worth and often escorts the metal exports himself in person along with fellow workers and has learnt a thing or two in his time fending off would be pirates and vagabonds who would seek to plunder the Kaur shale mines goods.
I plan to have Zadolix make a delivery of goods to Bit, and then follow up the delivery by visiting locations in the nearby vicinity with the intention of finding potential new clients for Dwarven metal exports. I'll have a think about how he knows a couple of the other players, and flesh everything else out.
Is this workable for you?
