Hi all, I am potentially looking for a mature RP focussed player for a Monday 7.30pm GMT+1 game. I say 'potentially' as due to RL events (US based players in Uni leaving Uni and having to work in their afternoons and so having to leave the group) we are down to 4 reliable players and a 5th who is somewhat unreliable. A little info about the campaign, as this won't be to everyone's taste: - We are using D&D 5th edition rules. - The campaign has been running 10 months and has a storyline heavily entwined with the original member's backstories. I will try to work a new player into the storyline but that may or may not be possible depending on your backstory. - I will be requiring a fairly deep, believable backstory and am looking for a character that can fit into a lowish magic gothic horror campaign. All published material is acceptable for classes but races are limited to PHB and ideally will be chosen from the less fantastical races. I'll obviously discuss this further with any potential newcomer. You will be starting at level 9. - The campaign started in Faerun in the Moonsea region, but after the first act the party found themselves in Ravenloft and since then have been on a mission to get the hell out. This is not Curse of Strahd, in fact the party have not (and probably will not) visit Barovia. This is Ravenloft loosely based on the The Realms of Terror 2nd edition black book with some homebrew thrown in. But it is very much Ravenloft/horror themed. - The campaign is undeniably adult, with themes that may make people uncomfortable and with storylines that feature extreme cruelty and may contain scenes of a sexual nature (either DM driven or PC to PC driven). BUT we are not sexting - we are adults, we can use our imagination here lol. I'm looking for a player who is at least 18, preferably older. Our current youngest player is 23 and our oldest is 49. - The campaign is heavy RP. We play every Monday but alternative between ''sessions'' and ''RP only sessions''. ''Sessions'' are done in Roll20 and the rp is done via voice and emoting in roll20, ''RP only sessions'' are more an opportunity for the party to discuss their plans, develop their relationships, reveal (or not) secrets from their pasts etc. This is done in our discord server using text like this: As you can see down the left hand side, there are many 'whisper' channels to represent private conversations between party members. Inter-party intrigue and relationships are a big thing in this campaign. Roleplay can also be done at any time out of the Monday timeslot - if your character wants to talk to another partymember you just need to arrange it with them and use the whisper channel for that character (so I can read along). - The campaign is very much Roleplay over Rollplay. I don't allow social interaction rolls against other players (if your character wants to lie to his companions, go for it - if they believe you, they believe you... they can't just roll insight). Insighting, persuasion, intimidation and the like is allowed against NPCs but has to be roleplayed before the dice come out. - I'm a pro subscriber and use a fair amount of API scripts, sound effects, handouts and detailed maps to (I hope), enhance everyone's experience. Occasionally scenes are splashscreens/moodboards and ToTM though - but that is fairly rare. - Due to holiday/vacation and work commitments, we have a gap before our next ''session'', which will be on the 3rd August. ''RP sessions'' can continue as normal. Perfect for me as it gives me time to write an adventure, and perfect for the potential newcomer as it gives them an opportunity to work on a character and maybe even RP with the group. I think that's probably enough info to test for interest :) Thanks for reading.
