If your reading this a year from now after searching for Ravenloft stuff, yes, this invite is still open :) I'm looking for players (and a few GM's too if they don't mind sharing a Ravenloft setting to maybe start a living setting) to populate my favorite campaign setting of all time. With WOTC released the Ravenloft Setting Book soon, I felt the call to return to my favorite genre of GM'ing.... Horror! That being said, Fate has grown on me as the most narrative focused system I've ever used, so I was planning on running Ravenloft with Fate (but using everything D&D has in regards to classes and spells, just giving them new rules in the Fate System.) I put my Game description below, so if your interested, send me a private message on here! ----- Did you stray to far from the path in the woods? Maybe you found yourself lost out on the water, far from shore. Perhaps you simply made camp in an area, to only find yourself no longer where you once were. What ever the case was, you had found yourself engulfed by an oppressive mist, that would eventually imprison you in your new nightmare. There were horrible things that couldn't be seen, but only heard, within the mist... Things that still haunt your memories till this day. It felt like an eternity, but you had eventually found your way out of the mist, only to be greeted by the unfamiliar lands. The sun had almost become a distant memory due to the bleak weather, and the surrounding woods seemed to be filled with shadow and things that would only be seen from the corner of your eye... You have found yourself in a land filled with villages who live in superstitious fear, a hatred for the unfamiliar, and a sorrowful story that their faces betray to any onlooker.... You now find yourself in the Domain of Calador... Welcome to Ravenloft. **Ravenloft: Among the Darkness** is a dark and gritty survival horror game, where political intrigue and investigating the occult, may be the only way you survive to see another day. Good hearted townsfolk are a rarity, the weather is constantly bleak, and the plane of existence you find yourself on is either constantly trying to kill you, or worse... Enlighten you. Unspoken horrors roam the countryside looking for pray or entertainment, waiting ever so patiently in the shadows and mist... Looking to abduct those that stray too far from the path traveled. The players are the only glimmer of hope in a plane of existence that the Dark Powers have turned into their prison to punish the Dark Lords in a sick and cruel manner. I'm currently looking for players who are heavily interested in ROLE playing rather then ROLL playing, and that's why I'm using the Fate system to run Ravenloft instead. Fate allows players to create concepts with far more flexibility and creativity without being constrained by tons of rules and number crunching. If the Characters survive long enough, I'd even like them to start planning out their long term goals (ex. building a town, starting a guild, travel as a well known merchant, etc.) This is meant to be your horrific playground to survive and thrive in. Please keep in mind that if you "play stupid games, you win stupid prizes." So Character death is expected to be a learning process, not a punishment. I also plan to eventually get a few GM's together to try to turn this into a living setting where multiple GM's can run games in this setting (possibly even create their own Domains of Dread to specifically run plot in.) If your interested in playing or GM'ing, feel free to drop me a private message! **Games are ran every Friday and Saturday around 7pm EST, but I might have room in my schedule to run other days as well.**
