Message: <blockquote data-quote="Corinnguard" data-source="post: 9677607" data-attributes="member: 7033886">Before I had joined my group back in June 2021, I had been friends with the DM for about 13 years. He knew of my interest in RPGs such as D&D and Pathfinder. So, he had invited me and another friend of ours into his group, which he had been DMing for the last three years. No sooner had I agreed to join his group and play 5e, I was setting up accounts on Discord, Steam and Heroforge and downloading Virtual Tabletop onto my computer in order to play my very first VTTRPG.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> My very first 5e character was a Dragonborn Fighter from Tymanther, and he was the only character who wasn't a spellcaster. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Nearly everyone else was some flavor of Arcane spellcaster. My first 5e adventure was Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus. My group met online every Monday around 8:30 EST (7:30 CST) and would generally play 3 to 4 hours.It took me a while to get into character and there was at least one instance where the DM and I almost had a falling out before reaching an understanding with him. I am on good terms with my fellow players. We did, however, have one player leave the group because of some friction between himself and two other players. The DM let him go and his character mysteriously disappeared mid-adventure. It took us about 2 years to finish up Descent into Avernus, and by the time we did, everyone in the party had reached 12th level (my DM used the Benchmark option).Right now, my group is into its' second year of role-playing in the Tyranny of Dragons adventure. We had a new player join the group, and this party is composed mostly of divine spellcasters. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> I am currently playing my first Half-caster, a Bugbear Ranger (Gloom Stalker)/ Rogue (Scout). He's a 10th-level character (6 levels of Ranger. 4 levels of Rogue). He's more martial than spellcaster.I credit my DM friend for getting me to set up an account here on EN World, where I have been an avid participant in the forums. And around the same time, I set up my EN World account, I backed and later developed an interest in Level Up: A5e. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I have yet to role-play something in A5e. <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="☺️" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/263a.png" title="Smiling face    :relaxed:" data-shortname=":relaxed:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /></blockquote>
