It seems like everyone is at least tentatively able to make Wednesday 6-10 CT, or portions of it. I like to have folks make characters (or at least start on it) together, especially since we have newer players. Holidays make that complicated, but I'd be open to hearing schedules for the next few weeks?
Roll20: Online virtual tabletop for pen and paper RP... works as an online tabletop. There's text chat or voice chat. It does things like have a battle mat and roll dice. Accounts are free (most of the paid account features are nicer for GMs).
. They also have a nicer character generator with hints on doing things step by step. If you create an account on D&D Beyond, I can share my books and it 'turns on' more than the default options in the character generator.
I'd also be interested in what sorts of things you enjoy doing in RPGs. I know what I want to play with running. I'm probably going to use a published campaign as a skeleton, and use Roll20's tutorial adventure as the 'get the party together' first play session.
okay! so if I'm understanding correctly, we create accounts on D&D Beyond to get access to your books and create characters but use Roll20 to play the game?
And I'd share PDFs but Wizards of the Coast is a pain in the butt about their content, so they set up this elaborate system to make people use their website. -_-

Okay, I think if you click the link I posted above (the My Campaign One) it will link your account. And the plan was to do character creation in the first sesson.
...???? I have a Roll20, but not a Twitch. :/ And I get Twitchy (obligatory pun) about making more accounts on other sites. Can you share the books as PDFs?

: Hmmm... Wizards of the Coast are pretty annoying about their anti-piracy 'we will not put out PDFs of our books' Otherwise, I'd just send everyone a pile of PDFs. The basic rules are online, though: 5th Edition SRD
It leaves out a lot of the options. (For instance, most classes have subclasses, and the basic rules only give one). But I can copy and paste bits if you need them
Day after Christmas will be no good. I'm a mail carrier so I'll get slammed on that day, and I don't expect anything less than a 12 hour shift, if I'm lucky. (I'm also super short on time right now so I might not have time to make a character right away. I work every single day from now until Christmas, and they're looong shifts)
tomorrow is good! ... except I completely forgot about this until today so I haven't made a character yet >,>;; (or were we making characters together?)

Is character making. A bunch of folks are new, so best to do it together
