unnamed Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition play-by-post campaign

[Faraday]

interested if there's space in either chamber's/skrews

How does everyone feel about player characters dying?

i think it's really easy to tell when the risk of death isn't there. even if it doesn't result in anyone dying the risk of dying keeps the game interesting. actions having consequences (including possibly death) seems a good thing

[Faraday]

That's cool.

I'm interested in a low level campaign. Level 1 start best start.

Character wise, I'll see if i can convince myself to not play a Bard.

lvl 1 campaigns are awful tbh

lvls 1-3 are boring as shit. 3 is at least when you get your class specialization that makes it feel more unique and interesting

lvl 1 is just "lets hit things once every round and that's it"

Completely disagree.
1-5 is just a great arc. At level 1 and 2 every fight is deadly and you have to play smart to survive. Some bad decisions can cause a tpk, and i kind of love the thrill of that. Level 3 then is cool because you get your spevialisation at three at the latest. Then 5 is cool bc extra attack/3rd level spells is a big fucking power spike.

This is assuming that you hit level 3 by the end of like...session 3 i guess, but thats never not been my experience. Being higher level is cool but I love the build to it, as much as anything.

/in chamber's, then since the city adventure sounds cool and something different.

I'll create a character after we get info on the setting and such, since I've a few classes I'd not mind playing.

My character in Chamber's is pretty much assured to be Paladin, thinking Half-Elf, because while fallen Aasimar would fit, I think they are a little too strong.

Agreed. Aasimar (and yuan ti) are both slightly too strong player races.
