Looking to run a 5Ed campaign where the players help create the game world. (read: I want to run but don't have time to set everything up to start with ) Players will start at first level . All classes allowed except Monk (too Eastern for a Western-style campaign) and Warlock (too "evil" for heroic characters). All "non-standard" races will be allowed with 2 caveats: 1. Since these are rare, I'm only allowing one of each type 2. With the exception of Gnomes and Half-Elves, the race won't exist until there's a PC example (so if no one plays a Tiefling, the world won't have any.) The "sandbox" aspect is that the players may create major/minor powers to place within the world (their characters don't have to come from them, and they don't have to be placed near the campaign area, but could be a looming threat/influence over the region nonetheless). I will be conducting an "overgame" in which the power5s try to influence the world as it stands (which could lead to adventure hooks if one faction gets too uppity) The game will be starting in the Free City of Five Rivers, a city of trade and intrigue (think Dale meets Babylon 5) Anyone interested please message me for info. Anyone with questions, feel free to ask here

I'd be VERY interested to do this, but alas I cannot afford the 5e books at the moment. Any idea on where I can find free pdfs? I've looked around to no avail.

The 5E teaser pdf is free, tho it just covers the basics, and not the optional races or feats (for example). Im fairly certain the WotC site still has it up
Beyond that, I'm not certain

A shout-out to any other GMs doing the play-by-post on here...
Feel free to play in my sandbox/mine my atlas if you like what I'm doing, just a few courtesies...
1. If you're in my sandbox, I'm in yours. I'll be happy to work with you placing everything together in a cohesive map (this doesn't mean you're tied to what I'm up to, and vice-versa. But if what one of us is doing works with what the other is...)
2. I may ask world-specific questions so I can include your powers in the Overgame (again, you're not tied to what I declare is heppening, but it may make things interesting if suddenly one of your kingdoms has a trade embargo forced on them by one of mine, or one of your Evil Overlords decided to invade the Elven lands in my area)

I thought I had responded here. Oops. I am definitely interested in a PbP. I don't own any 5e books, but I have a friend who does. I should be able to talk to him sometime in the next couple of weeks and get a character created. (I only see him about once a week).
I will post more when i get a character put together.

I'm doing a modified version of the feats option. Basically, all 1st levels get a feat to start with (Humans get 2, due to their bonus feat)
Once we closer to start time (official start will be around Feb 23, since before that I'm getting ready for our local con in most of my free time), I'll officially post everything. Until them, PM me for details (especially if you want to play in the sandbox portion)

I'm definitely interested in playing something like this.
@sheena: The book with the extended content is floating around for free, it just needs a little searching. I was able to find it without much difficulty.

PM me what you're thinking of running. If you're looking at one of the optional races, Half-Elf and Tiefling are still up for grabs

I have no clue, since I'm completely new to this system, but I will once I have a good idea of what I want to play.

This weekend I will officially post the setup posts for Tales From Five Rivers and The Sandbox (what I'm calling the game and the "overgame". If someone comes up with something better, I'm open to suggestions)
