[LF1P][5E][Curse of Strahd][Friday]

Hello!  We have an opening in our Curse of Strahd campaign! We're about 5 sessions in...so you won't have missed much.  We play once/month on Fridays from 8pm-1am CST. The actual day we play once/month is based on group vote - it jumps around :) but we make sure to get in one game a month. Group is very friendly and inviting; we only ask that you are willing (if you like the game/group) to commit through the whole campaign. The DM (me) is an old school guy who has been running D&D for 25 years, but is new to 5E. If you apply for the game, just let me know your background, gaming experience, and how you would describe yourself as a player. Our next game is 6/7! Thanks, Apshai

I would be interested, I live in Orlando and my job is Mon-Fri 8-5:30 so the game time would be perfect. Im, 40 and somewhat new to D&D I understand 5e well. I am a very patient player, I can work with new players and don't scrutinize people for mistakes. I like to be creative and supportive of other players, I try to be very optimistic when playing unless the setting is unpleasant. I was an 80's kid stuck with parents who heard D&D was satanic so I was never allowed to play. A few years ago i met some streamers who played and have been playing since. I avoid meta as much as possible. Its nice to talk about how exciting a game is but i prefer not to plan events ahead of time with other characters. I think what is most important is building relationships, asking questions and listening. what should go without being said unless playing a purely evil one shot campaign; no murderhobo'ing, no derailing intentionally and always be respectful of other players. (also this would be my first actual D&D written campaign) I've seen bits and pieces of the campaign streamed but not the ending so a vast majority of it would be new to me.

Hi i am intrested, i am a new player but i have knowledge on how to play. I am available pretty much any day at anytime. I am in Texas so my time zone is CST. I already have a character sheet made for a level 1 half elf monk but if i need to change anything to catch up with the party i can. I would say as a new player i would send a lot of time listening to get to know the party and to understand gameplay, fortunately i am a fast learner so i believe i would be ok. Also i am a night owl so a campaign from 8-1 works for me too! I do have one question for you, how will the game be played, text only, voice only, or video and voice?  

It looks like you have a couple of willing and capable applicants already, but I'd like to throw my name in the hat in case another spot becomes open at some point.   My Background: Midwestern, born in '77 and raised outside Cincinnati.  After completing my bachelors in Philosophy I did some world travel and lived for half a decade or so in NYC and L.A, working in a variety of industries.  Currently back home outside Cincinnati.  I enjoy music, musing, medium-length walks on the beach, and spending time with my two huskies.  ;)  My Gaming Experience: I've been playing and DM'ing D&D for approaching 30 years, now.  2nd Ed. through 5e (plus Pathfinder, CoC, SW, WoD, etc).  I'm extremely interested in what you highlight in your profile regarding the study of gaming (as a philosophy student, my interests are likely quite in line with your own as suggested by your dissertation topic). Myself as a player: Exceedingly story focused, but I'm flexible enough for a dungeon crawl.  I can find beauty and fun in a rather wide range of game/play styles.  I'm most interested in being a part of - and promoting - a tight knit group that works together, sharing the spotlight as a unit rather than a collection of individuals.  I generally have no preference for class or race, but instead tend to find the niche that is 'missing' in a party (even if that is 'leader', but I tend to be more 'glue').  I play my stats and background.  If I'm the clever rogue then expect intelligent solutions and emergent, daring awesomeness.  If I'm the brooding, illiterate barbarian, expect a lot of hulk-smash and less pontificating. :)  Thank you for the consideration, and best of luck and fun in your continuing adventure!
