Welcome
brave adventurers! Are you a fan of
gothic horror? Will you survive in this dark and gritty world long enough to
learn its secrets and escape?
Come, face
your fears, and play in the most infamous adventure ever written!
*Join us for an epic adventure! We are looking to add one or two more
players to the group. The party has reached 3rd level and have just started to
explore the Village pf Barovia. The current party consists of a Dwarf
Cleric, Human Monk, Tabaxi Sorcerer, and a Human Rogue. Interested
players should review the posts "About our CoS game" and the Player's
Primer below, and fill out an application. We look forward to hearing
from you!
General
Info :
We are using Discord for voice
and Roll20 for music, maps, and rolling. We are playing weekly,
Saturday evenings, 6-10pm EST. Sessions are typically about
4 hours long, although sometimes we may go over or under slightly. We'll
also take a 10-15 break about midway through each session. This is a long-term campaign (lvls
1-10) that requires a significant investment in your character, and each
other. Your success will depend on others and others will depend on
you. Be in for the long-haul, be on time, be present, and make every
effort to show up ready to play. This campaign focuses on
storytelling, plot, and character development, punctuated with deadly, tactical,
combat encounters. While it is possible to have an entire session without
any combat, when you do have that encounter, it will be difficult. All
Boss battles are deadly, and the locations are not scaled to the level of
the character. Be ready when you enter a new location and do so with
purpose and intent. Wander at your own risk. This is NOT the kind of game
where you can go it alone. It’s highly social game that relies on collaborating
with NPCs and maintaining those relationships. If you act in reckless or
selfish manner and alienate an ally, you’ll lose resources, negatively
impact relationships with other NPCs, and decrease the likelihood for
positive outcomes. Players who are vocal, pro-active,
and willing to role-play with each other will do well in this campaign. If
you don't like RP, this is not the game for you! This game will focus on
character growth and development, the journey, and BECOMING the hero.
About the
Campaign :
Curse of
Strahd is an epic Wizards of the Coast campaign set in the dark land of
Barovia. Unlike other story lines you see in D&D, CoS is not a classic
fantasy, but rather an exploration into the Gothic Horror genre. Vampires, Werewolves,
and Zombies, oh my!
*WARNING : Some of the subject matter in CoS
can be dark, chilling, grotesque, sad, xenophobic, or otherwise unpleasant. If
you have issues with the more mature nature of this campaign, please don't apply.
You have been warned.
Note: While
not the focus of the game, this material is meant to set the mood and help
establish the setting. I will honor this intention, making a conscious effort to
do so judiciously, while being mindful not to trespass against a Player’s personal
boundaries.
About Me,
your DM :
I am a
veteran DM, from the old-school, and this will be my second time running Curse
of Strahd DnD5e. This is my favorite D&D adventure and I’m excited to run
it. I am fairly firm, but fair, and I believe in actions having consequences. This
is a dynamic game. What you do WILL matter. I encourage critical thinking and
creative problem solving, leaning towards the Rules as Intended (RAI) interpretation
and the rule of cool. That said, this is not the game to look for loopholes or
ways to exploit the system.

Thanks for
the interest, I look forward to meeting you!
