I've played and DM'd a fair bit of D&D 5e over the past few years, but I can't recall a game that went above level 10. Most don't even get near that. The nature of PbP isn't really suited to normal advancement from low to high levels. So...
Concept: You are a former party of adventurers, and you made it. You overcame all the challenges before you, perfected your skills, and now you're at the absolute pinnacle of your powers. You have achieved universal recognition as legendary heroes and undisputed masters of your craft. You're level 20.
But, as always, a new threat has emerged, more perilous than anything you have faced before. The fate of the world is once again in your hands.
Features: This game would aim to feature both extremely high-level combat (so we can experiment with all the bonkers stuff that you mostly don't get to experience in normal gameplay) and some of the social responsibilities of being a fantasy world's equivalent of a superhero.
Players: I'd like to aim for four players initially, and we'll see how it goes from there.
Characters: Personally I'd lean towards single-classed heroes, since I'm most interested in seeing those capstone abilities in action. But if you want to run some multi-classed abomination, make your case for why it would be cool!
Let me know if you're interested, what type of character you'd like to play, and most importantly why you're keen to see that character in action. This isn't a first-come-first-served thing, I'll pick the people I think will create a good group dynamic, so take your time - this will be open for at least a week.
Bear in mind that your character will have significant worldly power beyond their class abilities - a Cleric might be the demagogue of an entire church, a Paladin might be the head of a knightly order, a Fighter could be a great warlord or king, and so on. You've got nearly unlimited resources and political clout, so think about what you would have achieved with that.
Thanks for your interest!
