Description
I am currently running the infamous Curse of Strahd module and have an opening. I invite you in.
The Game— Role-Play, Combat, Exploration:
This game leans into gothic horror and slow-burn tension. Expect moral strain, layered NPCs, and decisions that linger. Humor has a place, but it must live inside the world, not fracture it.
The game is generally balanced, though each session may favor one playstyle or skillset over another based on the choices made.
The DM/Storyteller
I grew up playing AD&D but stepped away for several years before returning under the 5e ruleset. I prefer a realistic motif to RPGs.
- Homebrew 5e 2014 & 2024.
- Sunday 1pm - 5/6pm EST
- Looking for Player(s) 30+
The Players:
Players should be 30 years of age or older. In our experience, older players are more likely to make a long-term commitment to the campaign and be respectful of everyone's time and effort. We value reliability, communication, and a collaborative table where everyone can count on one another. We are currently running with one male Fighter type, one male Cleric type, and one female Ranger type. They are currently around level 6.
The right player(s) for this table:
- Engages with the story
- Enjoys existential dread as much as tactical combat
- Thinks beyond their sheet
- Understands that fear, restraint, and consequence are tools, not obstacles
- Can be inventive when the moment calls for it
- Keeps immersion in mind. Knows the difference between Above Table and On Table. Doesn’t Metagame.
Requirements:
(1) Discord. Voice & Video.
(2) Maps. Owlbear Rodeo.
(3) D&D Beyond. Build your character. We will create it together but arrive prepared.
(4) Google Docs: Read Player Contract (Horror), Homebrew, and the Player Handouts. Agree to the Player Contract.
Town Crier:
We will have a Session Zero and possibly a Session 0.5 game to ground your character in the world. The world is the Forgotten Realms. Become familiar with the Sword Coast/Faerun. Your character will start there and enter the Shadowfell/Barovia— the Curse of Strahd, via the Mist. Worry not, whatever you don’t understand now will become clear in time, well translucent at least.
