So, as the title states, I would like to run a Tabletop game with the members of the forum, assuming there is enough interest amongst members. I’ll get straight to the point with this post.
· What system will this be running in?
The system will be 5e Dungeons and Dragons 2024 (long story). The reasons are twofold:
--I feel the system is easy for newbies to learn
--I have something vaguely resembling familiarity with the system
· What is the setting?
The setting will be a homebrew universe, allowing me to fit whatever deranged ideas the players may have for characters into it with relative ease.
· What are the rules for character creation?
5e.tools is a site that compiles most all of the available rules for 5e. Anything that is not homebrew on that site is fair game, excluding Unearthed Arcana (which is unofficial material made by Wizards of the Coast themselves). At this time, I am not allowing homebrew stuff; this may change in the future. For narrative purposes, there is only one race explicitly banned currently: Changeling. No Evil-aligned characters. Beyond that, player characters will start at level 3. Narrative-wise, I only ask you have a reason beyond fame and fortune to adventure – or at least a reason to obtain that fame and fortune. Whether or not you guys know each other before the start or any other backstory details are up to you!
· How will this be played?
We will be using a tabletop simulator called Roll20. It’s decently robust and, more importantly, free (though it will be missing some convenient features because I can’t afford that, sadly). Communication will be facilitated via voice chat on Discord, meaning a microphone will be required, and English will be the language spoken.
· When will this game take place?
I am hoping to do once per week or once per two weeks at a regularly scheduled hour, but no time is set in stone right now. I am hoping to fit this game around the players’ schedules, which is where the next question comes in.
· What do you need from me if I want to join?
If you are interested in joining the game, I will need:
--Your Discord name
--Times (in your local time zone) you will be almost guaranteed available for a 3-5 hour session. If this can be changed easily, note that.
--Your country of residence so I can determine your time zone. If you reside in a country with multiple time zones, your state/province/oblast/[regional territory division name here] of residence will also be necessary.
e.g.
Maniakkid25
Fridays after 1 PM. This can be changed on request.
Florida, United States.
(The bolding isn't required: I just added it to make it easier to see the example)
Edit: I also realize now that just posting this information on a public forum may be considered a privacy risk, so if you wish to PM me this information, that is acceptable. I am only requesting this information to make coordination of schedules easier.
If at least 3 people are interested in joining, I will make the Discord server and start inviting people. Any experience level is welcome, and I will be happy to walk you through using Roll20, making a character, and playing them.

I have an open schedule (presently) so I'll let others start dictating what works for them instead.

I'm not sure right now what my availability is for it because school is kicking my head in a lot more than I expected it to, but I will at least for now say I do have interest in this.

So, maybe I moved a little quickly, but in my excitement, I made the server as 3 people have expressed interest. There are still slots open if you are interested in joining; just post here and I'll be happy to have you join.
