Looking for a long term DnD 5.0 campaign
I'd be interested in this game as well, if it was open to others. I have always been keen on a low-life/scum swordsman (and perhaps sailor) who tends to side with the good guys and do the right thing in the end (the cliche "doesn't want people to know he's good at heart").
I'm also a big fan of Lovecraft.
I prefer RP to combat like tersal, but the character I have in mind would definitely be built as a swordsman, so would be comfortable with a fair amount of combat.
I have experience with AD&D 2e, 3e, and 4e. This would be my first 5e game, but I have a good understanding of the rules.
