Well after a year of looking for a D&D group I have a regular one at last! I'm a DM not a player which isn't ideal but loved it flap far. Got a group of 5 people who never played before my wife, her 2 brother's and her 2 cousins and they have completely embraced it and gone for it RP wise. Character wise we have;
It, a dwarf fighter of indeterminate sex who is grossly overweight and has anger issues.
Father Jack. An alcoholic handling cleric who missed most turns drinking and has a fetish for collecting eyes which he keeps on a loop round his neck.
Stealthy Jo, an eleven ranger who once had a normal name and now known as stealthy Joe for the fact I don't think she has yet passed a stealth check since we have started and hardly ever hits with her bow.
Margaret The Mighty, once known as Magrither no one could be bothered to learn his name spends pretty much every round asking every enemy and NPC He meets if they know what Searing Smite does.
Wand Man, a wannabe tactical genius who gets every big call wrong and who is also completely paranoid by this point and will debate everything into the ground before making a decision.
Unfortunately can only play once every 4 weeks as one of the lads works away on ships but still it's great to have a group At last. Got them play testing a hole baked adventure of mine, 16 hours and they are level 3 at the end of the 2nd chapter (they aren't the fastest, they tend to maniacally off reservation at times) start the 3rd chapter next month. Thinking of putting this up on DMguild if it continues running as smoothly as it is its campaign based on Mammon/Minauros and a cult which worships them.
