For how long has the fire curse been in effect?

You always know just what to say. <3

Both the Unburning and the Rain God Curse are ancient parts of the landscape. They were already in place before the city was built, a few hundred years ago.

I'd like to be a homeless person addicted to drugs.

I am looking forward to it :)

The city is a mix of standard D&D classes. Humans/Elf/Dwarf humanoids are the largest plurality, but even combined they are not a majority. There are also a lot of Dragonborn.

Obscure and strange monster races are rare, but not unheard of. You aren't likely to be accosted by a talking giant spider in a dark alley, but if you are, offer it some beer money before you draw your sword.

This looks fun! I want in on this or the second campaign if it needs to be made. I don't really have a specific class in mind. This would be my first time playing D&D5e too.

As for backstory, I was thinking making them a recent university graduate looking for a job after school, or maybe a down on his luck guy who just got fired from his job as like, a janitor or something and is willing to join an adventuring party for money. Not sure what I'd go with, I think it would partly depend on what class I end up picking. (The student would use magic but the janitor would be a warrior because of his mad mop swinging skillz)

Both of those are great! If you go wit the Janitor, look at the Monk class-- they are more like Shaolin King-Fu movie monks, and less like Friar Tuck monks

Janitors would also have very good Wisdom scores.

I am actually thinking of busting out an emergency Gnome wizard (or some other class) drawn in crayon in place of a serious Paladin.

Yeah, a martial artist class sounds like it would be a good fit for him, I'll start pouring over the material then and get to creating him.

Working on a rock gnome rogue. He is an explorer and treasure hunter kind of like Indiana Jones. I made all the stats, I just need a physical description and backstory.

Ooh! This looks fun. I haven't played D&D online before, and it's been ages since I've played at all.

With Mr. The Hamster's approval, I'd like to play a kobold rogue.

Yay! You guys are most welcome :)
