Description
My husband (32M) and I (29F) have been missing playing D&D and thought we'd take a shot on meeting a group online! We've played D&D for like 5-6 years and are used to/prefer 5E 2014 rules but could learn 2024.
We play on EST time and are flexible on schedule though of course prefer Fridays/Weekends. During the weekday we'd prefer a start time of 7 PM EST earliest and 9 PM EST latest. Roughly biweekly would be great. The only day we can't really do are Thursday evenings.
In terms of how we are as players, we definitely even each other out:
I'm a roleplay and story-focused player and generally build characters that play to an interesting narrative. I've played cleric, druid, rogue (and have multiclassed cleric-rogue, rogue-warlock) but have also DM'd a little so know broadly about most classes. I'm more likely to strategize and talk something out before swinging, but I'm always dedicated to the personality of the character I'm trying to play (while also making it make sense for the group). I do still love a good combat; one of my favorite memories is playing a rogue assassin, climbing a watch tower, and killing two guards in one fell swoop.
My husband prefers to play casters, more specifically wizard, sorcerer, and artificer. He is interested in trying out a martial character (likely barbarian) at some point, though! His favorite part of D&D is the combat and he loves to focus on crowd-controlling and support spells. He has come in clutch several times with hypnotic pattern or vortex warp. He is generally quieter/more reserved, but he loves a good roleplay moment, too. One of his favorite D&D moments is the time he made "Strawberry Tom" appear to have shit himself with prestidigitation.
We're generally used to starting at lvl 3-5 for campaigns but wouldn't mind starting at lvl 1, especially if we're trying classes we haven't really before. Everything we've played has been homebrew, so we don't know much about Forgotten Realms, but are down for anything. We're used to playing with multiclassing and feats, but definitely don't always multiclass.
We're good for a balance of serious and silly roleplay, tactical and story-driven combat, and overall a good time! We're used to using a combo of Roll20 and discord, but can of course learn whatever. You'll get someone down to work with you on any cool story things you want to make happen and someone totally open to have you take the reigns on surprises/their backstory since they're not likely to make a particularly detailed one.
Also potentially relevant sidenotes, we'd prefer LGBTQIA+ friendly groups and probably do best in groups that are communicative and kind, but not afraid to get intense/deep, and of course keep in mind that we're all playing D&D to enjoy and have fun!
