I have a copy of the character sheet back when this was in pre-release (its limited with the classes it released at first, but I can share what I got) and I own the book myself. I'll hop in. I'm thinking on making a warlock, barbarian or wizard.

Here's the character sheet with some junk filled in for a cleric I made (awful, I know).

I could throw together a character. Pretty familiar with the system, you could say.

[GiglameshDespair]

Eh, I might.

For anyone without 5e stuff:
Wizards of the Coast released a free beginners guide, with four races and four classes - the fighter, wizard, rogue and cleric - with a single Archetype for each. You can find that perfectly legally here.

They also released supplementary materials here and here.

For those put off by the "beginners guide," the characters you can make with that are perfectly good - 5e is remarkably balanced compared to 3.5e and the like.

I'd recommend Myth-Weavers for sheets.

Eh, I'll try a game of 5e. I usually play 3.5, but I've heard good things about 5e

[Fabulous death bringer]

Okay. So I will start help people make characters. Any question just ask, we can do this in the thread or in personal messages. I can also do a run down of each race and class.

i think i ffound a reliable pdf for 5e
http://media.wizards.com/2014/downloads/dnd/playerdndbasicrules_v0.2.pdf
if something is in there that doesn't match the rules i have i will correct it
but this should get you started with class creation

for stats I personally prefer it if people rolled for their stats. If you really don't like that you don't have to but I would prefer it.
and it is the first 6 sheets in play, does that sound fair or should the first 6 that showed interest get in first?

[Death9980]

Im intesested to join and you know how to contact me

[BlitzDungeoneer]

You should wait for everybody interested to get their sheet in within a given time period and then pick those which you think are best, I think.

Slightly slow there - check my post 2 above yours

Now, what I would recommend is that you work out some of that lore and geography of your world and post it in the OP, so people can build off that. Then you pick and choose the characters you think will interact in an interesting way with each other and the world.

If you're new to DMing, you have to plan, plan, plan! Work out the setting, the plot, the important events and places in the world, and how they might react to characters - especially if you're making up your own setting. Type out your posts in a text editor beforehand, so you can correct grammar and spelling, if need be, before you copy and paste it over.

Problem with rolling is invisible castle is down right now, so might wanna just go with standard point buy. And yeah, how you choose sheets is up to you, you're the DM.

I know i was slow, and i know i will have to plan plan plan. I am thinking the start will be in a village/town in the middle of a forest/grasslands area

It is based on forgotten realms if that helps. And i can start helping with character creation now.

Well, is there more backgrounds than the ones in the basic set? I'm not keen on playing a criminal rogue..

Also, working on my Shifter Paladin of Halmyr.

By the way, if a waitlist starts I'm willing to be put on it to open up a spot: I've already submitted a sheet to another DnD game and I'm in a bunch of other roleplays.

Spoiler: Since I dislike mythweavers, I shall simply put my stuff here like this (click to show/hide)

Opening Stat rolls:
STR: 9 (Figures)
DEX: 10 (Meh)
CON: 7 (Pffft)
INT: 10 (Dang it)
WIS: 12 (Decent)
CHA: 9 (Like it's used for anything anyway.)

Well, this guys sucks at everything but wisdom, at which he's decent.

Wood elf looks the best for race, so +2 DEX and +1 WIS.

Looking at classes, Cleric is the most obvious one, since wisdom is the one thing I don't suck at.

For background, I think I'll take Criminal just because I like the idea of a thieving cleric.
