This is your call to arms Adventurer! I am currently running through the Curse of Strahd Module. The party is about 1/5 of the way through it. Three members of this group have been playing with me as a DM for them for just over 3 years now and we've successfully ran a campaign 1-20 and also two other modules from start to finish. So you know this is a solid reliable group. Which is the exact type of player I am looking for. Outside of this I spent 5 years as a full time professional DM as my sole income, running 6+ groups a week. I now only run a single group online, and this is a chance to join that group. So I am looking for a somewhat experienced player, preferably mature as we're all adults with full time jobs and families. Nothing too major has really happened in the campaign so far, so if you've wanted to play Strahd but never got a chance, here's your shot. With the main caveat being this is a more grounded horror module, so if horror and terrible things occurring isn't your thing. Not the campaign for you unfortunately. But we are more than welcoming to anyone, if your not 100% sure, drop me a message and we can have a chat The party consists of •A Human (UA Path of the Giant) Barbarian •A Human Grave Cleric •A Human WildFire Druid •A Dusk Elf Battlemaster Fighter What I am offering a semi-experienced player here is a good reliable group, with an experienced DM who understand their players. You can finally play some good proper D&D. Sound like your type of game? Game Information When : Played Semi-Weekly Sundays 3PM GMT.

These may overrun, if there are major time constraints please let me know before hand Communication : Discord, Microphone Required Starting Leve l: 5 Party Size : 5 Cost : £5 per session paid via paypal (More exactly it's a tip if you enjoyed the time you've had and it helps me pay for additional maps and the such) First session will be free! Additional Info : You will be playing with Roll20s immersive dynamic lighting feature, so you never quite know whats round that corner until you see it! Strictly NO PVP or stealing from other player characters. Milestone leveling will be used, so no experience points to worry about. Understand that this is a treacherous module, where death, disfigurement and mental impairment can occur. Rations/Ammunition/Spell components will be tracked until you reach higher levels. Building Your Character •Start at level 5 •Use almost any Race/Class from any officially printed WoTC Book. However, keep in mind that any "monstrous" races will be treated with even more suspicion and bias than more humanoid characters. (Note I do have a short ban list of feats and races, but it's mainly to stop the ludicrous shenanigans). • Stats will be generated using either "point buy" or "standard set" of 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 •You will be part of an adventuring party but your character MUST have a reason to be with a group of other adventurers. So, no lone wolves or "evil" characters. However, there are no restrictions on alignment but your character should not be the cause for excessive friction or drama. "Just because it's what my character would do" is not an excuse for bad behaviour. • The character creation will be finalised in the first session, but will spend time beforehand catching you up and giving advice on potential backstory threads to follow through Players Code What I and the other members of the party expect from you • Absolutely no hate speech or demeaning another player personally • What happens "in character" stays "in character" • Not to look up or spoil any parts of the module • Good punctuality, and will inform the GM if they will be late/missing as soon as they know • Not to talk over other players • Players will not mock or continually instruct other players what the "best thing" to do is • Willing to address concerns and issues in an adult manner when they first appear by talking to each other GMs Code What you should expect from me • Excellent grasp on the rules • Willing to bend those rules when appropriate (aka "Rule of Cool") • Fairness • Absolute Attendance • Giving everyone the same amount of "spotlight time" • Lightheartedness • Keen to listen and understand concerns and correct any issues if they arise Payment • Payments must be made via paypal • A player will be fully reimbursed if 12 hours notice is given of them not making the session • All players will be reimbursed should the DM be forced to cancel a session for any reason prior to the game time As per Roll 20s code of conduct *"This game will require payment of £5 per session paid via paypal to the GM to participate. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements."*
