LFP to start a new D&D 5e Party in Forgotten Realms

[Shade18]

Hey all, I am looking for players to start a new group together to play D&D 5e. I have played all of the editions through the many years of my D&D history....yes I am old.
Take a look at the details below to see if you'd like to join my game.

FG License: I have a Full GM's License. Do you have anything other than the demo version?
Game System: D&D 5e

Time Zone: I am in California and therefore in Pacific time zone.
Day of week and time & Frequency: I am looking to play either Tuesday or Wednesday night sometime after 5pm til ??? on a weekly or bi-monthly basis (once every 2 weeks)
Planned start date: I would like to start in February
Planned Duration: More than a one shot, long term. As long as "Life" let's us....meaning when life gets to be too much and always in the way, we will need to stop

Text or Voice: Voice using Discord, and WILL NOT BE RECORDED

Roleplay & Combat mix: I am an old school DM that tries to learn new tricks, so my play style is normally combat heavy, but I like to throw puzzles, skill challenges and role-playing encounters into my story, but it's probably 70/30 or 60/40 combat to roleplaying
Number of Players needed: I would like to have either 6 or 7 players
Character starting level: I will start PCs at 3rd level
Character restrictions: We will be playing Forgotten Realms, so PCs will be restricted to races and classes limited to that world (so not races from other campaign settings)

Details of your scenario: The world will be Forgotten Realms and I will start everyone off at 3rd level, so you all will have some history to your character. I would like a decent sized background or history for your character so that I can eventually make the adventures more personal to the group. I would like goals and objectives the PCs want to accomplish so the group can grow together.
I will have a session 0 with each player individually so characters can be made, we can discuss PC history and where specifically the story and Heroes begin.
I do have a few homebrew rules, which we can go over when we have our session 0.

Link to Game Calendar page: None

Please respond to this post and I will email you directly.
Thank you,
Nick (Shade18)

Oh, I could be very interested in this if the date/time works

[Cyroa]

As a fellow old schooler, I'm interested. I could do Wednesday evening and the time is perfect. Not too familiar with Forgotten Realms outside of some old games and novels; 10+ years since i checked in on it maybe. Happy to read up though for a chance to be player.

I'd be interested, but I would have to start later, at least 8pm (got to get my kids to bed first). Tuesdays only would work for me

Hello the game looks appealing but I am a minor[15] so if thats a problem feel free to ignore this but if not I would love to join!

Interested if its Wednesday and depending on time, I'm east coast and work in the mornings.

I would like to try an Aarakicra druid if possible: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Aarakocra

Will you be using any of the FGU 5e feat, Book of Lost spells, or other add ons in the campaign? Volo's, Sword Coast, Xanathar, etc?

Thanks.

[Shade18]

Thank you everyone who has responded so far.
I have sent each one of you a private message with requests for more information.
Please respond when you can.
For the question about which source books do I use:
I own volo's, xanthar's, fizban's, Swordcoast, Tasha's and Mordankainen's.
