Ah I see, you were speaking specifically about AL, not 5e overall. My thing is since coming to 5e from 3.5, I discovered Treantmonk's variants/class and race fixes, which are objectively better. For example, vanilla Dragonborn in 5e (my favorite race), REALLY need a few tweaks like Darkvision and better breath weapons (Fizban's was an improvement but not quite good enough). On top of that I think BG3 had some good implementations, folding the Hexblade subclass into Pact of the Blade for example. I want to be able to play with these tweaks/fixes, but have not been able to find a DM or game willing to allow them, despite not being "broken". It has been frustrating to find that the 5e crowd seems much more dogmatic about what is printed in the books, and less comfortable with using what is there and then molding it taste.

Yes, it's nice to see the list grow...

Oh yes, along side 3.x, 5e can seem "plain". But there is goodness in 5e's concept too and not implying one is better than the other. I've learned many years ago that not everyone has fun the same way. My "feature" comment was meant that the goal was not to be limiting, but in that because there is a codified set of rules, we are sharing the same experience. When I play a particular module, it would be a very similar experience if you played it, and we could discuss our mutual experience (like watching the same movie and talking about it later). But if one's expectation is to change how the game is being played, then Adventurer's League can be stifling to embrace. Thankfully there are other ways to play D&D.

I come from LONG experience with 3.5, so I'm rather used to being able to work out customizations and use homebrew. And frankly 5e definitely needs it in several places. So yeah I consider it a limitation. I suppose if you aren't super comfortable with understanding how rules and balance work or being able to mold encounters precisely to the abilities of your players it would be considered a feature. Apparently 5e brought in a lot of new players to the hobby, which is great, but probably also many of those are more casual, and unable or unwilling to tweak things to taste...

Pretty neat to see the list of AL Characters growing. To be a DM, you don't need to do anything special, just start an Adventurers League game like any other game (and maybe add the ALG badge to show solidarity). If your a DM looking for players in this sub-community of Myth Weavers let me know and I'll set you as a DM here as well, which will allow you to add other people as Members of this group. Seeing some new names which is fantastic. I know the gamers here on MW can't resist playing 2 or 3 or 10 games at a time, so likely will find plenty of people looking for games.

   "Barbarus hic ego sum, quia non intelligor illis." Anastasia Sunbasher (aka "Anastasia the Red") (Sheet) Origin: Sept 23 '23, 11:29am  Chaotic Neutral Human Barbarian 1 Description: Burly in stature and flamboyant in dress, Anastasia is chieftain and warlord of a hitherto uncontacted mountain tribe. She commands the respect of her people by being their fearless champion, a true chieftain's chieftain. Standing at a hulking 6'5" with a muscular frame honed by years of discipline and training, she towers over most of her subjects and their enemies, only adding to her legend. Besides her seemingly endless array of custom, stylish suits of armor, her physical appearance is also notable for her long, flowing red hair, a gift which she attributes to her faithful worship of the goddess Sif. Personality: Anastasia is a boisterous and affable woman, as befits the freedom of personal expression enjoyed by women in her tribe, and wise and even-handed, as befits her station. She takes great pride in defending her tribe from outside threats, with a particular soft spot for children and non-military women, demanding the strongest under her watch stand up for the weakest. Her general temperament is very typical mama-bear mentality: slow to anger, but a fearsome typhoon of range when angered. She also deeply values family, her 3 older brothers and father having been the first people to ever see potential in her, both as a leader and as a swordfighter. Gods help someone who endangers her family and tribe simultaneously, for a gruesome butchering is the only end. Show Background Anastasia was born into the unforgiving yet majestic landscape of the isolated Harrow Peaks, home to a mountain barbarian tribe known as the Sunbashers. The Sunbashers were a hearty, resilient people known for their indomitable spirit and their reputation as fierce warriors. They prided themselves on their ability to thrive in a harsh and unforgiving natural environment otherwise untouched by outside forces. Anastasia was the youngest child in her family and the only girl among four children. Her father, a respected warrior and the tribe's chieftain, initially struggled with the concept of raising a daughter. However, he soon recognized the fire in her eyes, a mirror of his own, and the potential she possessed. Her brothers, all formidable warriors in their own right, also saw this potential and took it upon themselves to train her in the art of combat. Baby Anastasia proved to be a prodigious learner. She trained tirelessly, honing her physical strength and combat skills, eventually surpassing many warriors in the tribe despite her youth. When she was not training, she was learning the ways of leadership from her father, understanding the importance of wisdom, justice, and compassion in ruling their tribe. Anastasia's life took a turn when a neighboring tribe, envious of the Sunbashers' prosperity and lands, launched a surprise attack. The Sunbashers repelled the attack, but Anastasia's father and brothers fell defending their home, a loss that devastated her and the tribe. The enemy expected the tribe to fall into chaos and despair, but they underestimated Anastasia. Inheriting her father's mantle, Anastasia led her people with a steadfast determination and a fierce protective spirit. She rallied the Sunbashers, uniting them in their grief and turning it into a powerful force of resistance. Under her leadership, the Sunbashers subjugated the invaders and reclaimed their homeland, solidifying her place as their chieftain and warlord. Now, Anastasia leads her tribe with fiery determination, defending them from any threats that dare to encroach upon their lands. Her heart beats with the love for her people, and her soul burns with the spirit of the Sunbashers. Adventurers League Log goes here

That's correct; AL follows a single set of regulated play that means characters are transferable between tables. That said, DMs can make calls and streamline some rules for the sake of adaptation to play by post. But nothing so differential as "I allow Warforged in my Forgotten Realms setting" or "here's a homebrew so you can play a hag!" Or stuff like that.

Am I correct in the impression that AL games don't allow any homebrew/variants/customization tweaks or is that dependent on individual DMs?

Both sound excellent! I'll send invitations. And with that, recruitment of Avernus Rising has now closed. Thanks everyone!

I'm tempted as well. Never done AL before, just looked up the restrictions. Thinking of either a rogue or ranger... actually an elven rogue, realised I can't get the thrown weapons working in AL Does AL have the move your ability boosts around feature or not? nevermind I've just seen the new players guide which answers my question, I was reading an old one for avernus rising specifically. Which also means I possibly could have gone the ranger route with thrown weapons, but I've mentally fleshed out the rogue now.

@Gregorotto Color me interested! I'd be happy to apply with a half-orc fighter. Possibly a former Hellrider?

Sounds good, check out the link above and expect an invitation shortly.

I am new to the sight but I would love to join. I have a few ideas for characters (probably a paladin) but need to brush up on the AL rules.

x3!

I was actually going to comment on that once my ad process was over, I realized I never asked but since I think I'm the first new game that's looking for players, that's a growing pain to figure out rather than an established procedure. That said, with the way ads work, it's going to open some flood gates I'll have to figure out as far as new people jumping on it and spots being tight; I may hold off for a second on that avenue.

One benefit of the new set up for AL Game on the New MW, since the games are separate, you can also advertise the game in the traditional sense so it appears in the Advertisements section of MW. Will help garner more exposure. Of course, no one is required to join our little group here, but for DMs, you'll want to generate some more interest in the game if enough people are not responding here.

Ditto!
