New D&D 5e campaign incoming

Hey planers, what up? I'm thinking about opening up a new D&D 5e campaign within the next few days. All of my DMing experience to date is with 1st and 2nd editions, but I've been playing in a few 5e games (including Arjen's excellent Adventures in Faerun right here on this site) and enjoying them so I figured I should get with the times and jump in to what's current.

This would be a homebrew setting, starting at first level. My style tends toward episodic dungeon crawls, but I like to thread them together with an overarching storyline and I'm big on letting the players drive the tone and direction of the narrative.

One idea I had for this campaign would be to set it at an earlier technological epoch than the usual high medieval era, maybe Bronze Age or Iron Age or something.

Anybody up for this? Any feedback from interested potential players would be welcome before I start really putting this together.

I'd be interested in playing. Homebrew setting works for me.

I don't know DnD5e, but I should probably learn, given its on my site... its always been a system I've loved playing.

I would really like to get in on this, I've never really played a magic class much and would like to try out a dwarf wizard.

I would lean towards some type of magic class as well, just to see how they work. Sorcerer perhaps?

Thank you for the kind words! This has been the best PbP group I have ever worked with! Thank you all for your dedicated posts.

Eeer... Arjen, was this supposed to be in a different forum? Or made in a different forum that somehow wound up here?

I suspect these are the kind words he is referring to and therefore in the correct forum.

I'm up for this! I think the slower pace of a forum game would be easier to keep track of vs Twitter so I could handle playing an actual PC.

That's what I get for skimming :D I make a fool of myself.

Not at all! We're all friends here right?!

So for building characters for this, point buy attributes or roll them?
Mar 19, 2015 7:04 pm
Whichever you prefer.

Lol, this thing filled up quickly!

People want DnD5e! We need more DnD5e!

I've been toying with the idea of running a terribly bad campaign at some point. Just need to let some of these other games move along a bit first so that I can steal all of their good ideas.

Just one slot left! I'm gonna wait til tonight to see if anybody else applies, then probably roll a die or something to choose the last player. If you don't make it in, sorry! Nothing personal!
Mar 20, 2015 6:44 am
If you have a spot I'd like to take a chance on that roll :)
Mar 20, 2015 3:53 pm
I rolled and it went to applicant #6, which seems fair. Sorry if you didn't make it, but if anybody drops and we need a replacement, I'll open it up again.

Ah! I knew it was you behind Daemonrazor! *shakes a fist*
