Hi there, my partner (28F) and I (27M) are currently searching for a long term DND group that focuses on a good balance between rp and combat, with a emphasis on its story and character driven plotlines and story arcs.  We enjoy a collaborative setting for the overall plot of the campaign that weaves in our characters so they fit the world and make choices feel as if they truly matter and reflect upon the world around them.  We enjoy both rp in-game and written and combat is seen as a fun challenge that shapes the characters as a whole.  We are more experienced in the 2014 ruleset with bits and pieces of 2024 here and there, we are welcome to learning 2024 as a whole if need be. My partner has roughly 8 to 9 years of experience in the TTRPG world as both a player and a dm while I have roughly 2 years and still getting my footing.  We do our own character art and steer away from ai.  My partner favors the paladin and sorcerer classes but does play any that fits what the party may need, they do not shy away from being a face character or front line if it's what the party needs, while I tend to fill positions missing in the party composition, I'm still trying to figure out what class I like most. We are looking for a Friday or Sunday evening game. We are CST. We also do have a large majority of the books released on DND beyond and are willing to share content with the group if it is desired. We are used to using discord for voice and foundry VTT and do not have video capabilities.
