D&D 5e game starting in Portland Oregon

About 7 years ago I ran an audition for players. I had 4 sessions in total with 3 established players and 2-3 new players. The idea being that you don't really know how well you are going to fit into a gaming group until you actually sit down to play, and there is nothing more damaging to the cohesiveness of a group than having players come and go frequently. Given that there were about 12 people who auditioned and we only added 2 players, this move did not make us extremely popular in the Portland gaming scene (even though I was pretty up-front). However it DID net me 2 players that I still game with today, so I call that a win.

Well its time for another audition. Some players have moved away, some have stopped gaming, and some are just too busy. We have 3 players now and want 4-6 total. The "audition" will be in the form of a night of rousing adventure that will (hopefully) test your wits and judgement. Should all go well you may earn a spot in the official campaign.


Once the audition is complete the actual game will start. This is a FRESH campaign where all the decisions have not been made yet. At this point we know the following:

We will be using the new D&D 5ed gamebooks.
Setting will be fantasy with magic being uncommon
Game will likely be saturday
game will be every 3 weeks

My campaigns tend to have 70-30 roleplaying to combat. Frequently they include a sound track and atmospheric audio. Plenty of visual aids, and as much player interaction as I can manage. We are looking for players that do not take themselves too seriously and enjoy getting into character as much as falling out of it for a good joke.
