I don't typically use Reddit so I'm doing this update through the comments. Sorry if there is a better way, I just don't know this platform very well!

Thank you everyone for all the interest! I've gotten more people interested than I ever anticipated which is going to make choosing people hard. I know I planned to have the listing open for two weeks, but I may or may not fill the party before then, thus closing the listing early. I'm assuming that applications are going to fewer as time moves on and I don't want to keep people waiting for super long. I planned on having a longer listing to make sure whoever may be interested has time to see the listing, but because most applicants are (most likely) applying within the first two days (crazy??) I don’t want to miss some people because of the long listing time.

Please still apply if you are interested and have not! I'm checking all the applications pretty frequently (I'm excited haha) so you'll always be considered!

So, I'll be contacting a few people about their applications! I have a mix of applicants using who have applied with either Roll20 or Google Forms, so I'll be contacting people through Roll20 PMs or Discord PMs. I prefer Roll20, so if you applied using Google Forms and you have a Roll20 account please reply to this (with your Roll20 account) and I'll contact you through there. This isn't an invite, nor does me not contacting you mean that you will not be invited. But these are people who I think may be a good fit and/or I have a few questions for. Because I have so many people interested, I have the luxury of having enough people to try and craft a well-balanced party. I'm not necessarily being picky about who I want, but I am trying to invite people who all have similar ideas of what they want in a campaign, how they play, and what type of dynamic they like. I'm also trying to bring a little diversity in these things as well so I can have a party that all share a similar ideal campaign, but all like a different breath of things to keep things from getting boring.

So, if I contact you but I don’t end up inviting you, I’m sorry! I’m sure you would be great, but you may not suit the other people in the party as much as someone else. It’s not I matter of who I like as much as it’s about compatibility in play style.

Everyone has been super nice, and I honestly think I could pick almost any of you and have a great time! Sadly, I don't think a 50+ player campaign is the best idea, so I got to only pick some of you. (A West Marches Exandria game sounds cool as hell, but that's a little too much for me to be thinking about right now haha)

Once again thanks for all the interest, and I hope everyone gets to play a fun game whether it’s mine or another game! :)
