Hello everyone! Like the title says, I want to DM a mostly text-based Curse of Strahd campaign. I have run the module fully once with live sessions, and I am running it a second time at the moment (we're halfway through, live sessions as well). The module is incredibly rich in fascinating lore and deep social interactions, but I have come to realize that live sessions do not allow for digging into all of it as much as we could. Also, I will be implementing the Curse of Strahd : Reloaded content from Reddit user Dragnacarta. It adds A LOT of awesome content to this already awesome module. Please note that the module involves harsh themes such as child trafficking. If you are uncomfortable with sensitive topics, this campaign might not be for you. I am going to keep things decent, of course, nothing short of good taste will be tolerated . The kind of players I am looking for are people who enjoy more the roleplaying aspects of the game than the combat mechanisms. There will still be some combat, of course, but I will try to minimize the use of the turn order system. However, for the main encounters (the deadly / story driven ones), we will need to have live sessions. We will use Discord for the text and live sessions. Players will still need to join the game and create their characters on roll20. I won't explain here EVERYTHING about how I envision running things, that will be discussed together before starting the campaign. Here is a list of what I expect of the players : - absolute respect between people (I won't tolerate any signs of disrespect) - a positive mindset and a desire to work together - a certain level of commitment (I am not expecting players to reply ASAP or write loads of text, but I won't keep players who aren't being involved) - a decent quality of syntax and grammar (this is just logical... since it is text-based, you need to be able to communicate well in English) - have a sense of humor, and patience to wait for the replies :P Here are my restrictions for character creation : - no Aarakocra - no human variant - no evil character (or completely chaotic ones, your actions need to make sense) - no edgy loner My time zone is UTC -5 (eastern Canada), and a player is UTC +1 (Germany). If we want to have live sessions from time to time, it would be best to have players in time zones compatible with these. If you are interested in joining the campaign, please send me a private message with a little presentation of yourself and a character idea. Not just the race + class, tell me about them. The more you can give personality, depth and flavor to you characters, the more enjoyable the campaign will be for everyone. By the way, now is the time to make a character oriented more on social interactions, investigation, etc. ;) If you have any questions, you can ask them by replying on this thread, so that others can see the additional information. So, who's up to take on the dreads of Barovia? :evil grin:
