[LFP][5E][Tues][5-9pm][PST] Curse of Strahd

If you need to test the waters and see how a session goes for you, by all means. All I ask is that you show up on time each week (or let me know beforehand when you cannot). This is a free game, with the goals being enjoyment for everyone and hopefully the formation of a long-term group, or at least with some people. (1 slot open) We are playing Curse of Strahd weekly on Tuesdays at 5pm Pacific. We have played 7 sessions already and are at level 6. The current party consists of: - A Dwarven Beast Master Ranger (Tasha's Version) - A Half Elven Eloquence Bard - A Reborn Phantom Rogue - A Tiefling Vengeance Paladin/Hexblade I've played with a couple of the players for a long time, and a couple for only a month or so. This isn't a tight-knit group that is hard to fit into, newer players are welcome to apply but you need to know how to pilot your character yourself and operate Roll20 without asking how to roll, etc. I'm of course willing to help with things you aren't familiar with or are unclear on, nobody knows everything. We're a pretty chill bunch, and are pretty into the setting and world. A few things about this game to give you an idea if it's right for you: - We run the game fairly rules-as-written, I'm very familiar with the rules of 5E and we stick to those guidelines, exceptions can occur on occasion but we aren't running a casual rule of cool campaign. - Homebrew is very limited, expect not to be able to use it, also only races that fit in the setting are permitted (no Eberron, MTG, Feywild UA, etc). - No Artificers (don't exist in-universe). - We use 27-point buy, and you can move one racial score increase to another ability score or swap them with eachother. Characters should fit the gothic-horror tone and not be too jarring, you can be a positive non-edgy character, but it should still fit the world. - I have a list of homebrew rules/tweaks, but some examples are: (Reduced) Variant Encumbrance Pathfinder distance on grids (every second diagonal is doubled) Death saves are rolled in secret You cannot long rest unless you are in a safe area Potions always heal for their maximum amount etc You don't have to have a character in mind when you apply, making a character to fit the world/setting or the party composition is more than fine, and I'd be happy to work with you on a personal hook or driving factor to ensure your character is motivated to progress in the campaign.&nbsp; This is a difficult campaign, the deadliest levels are over with but there is still plenty of danger if you tread in some areas too early. Our group is lighthearted out of character, but in-character the tone is fairly serious and it's expected that you aren't making silly real-world immersion breaking references etc. We play on my Discord server and obviously use Roll20.

Player Name: Leroy Age: 24 Experience with 5E:&nbsp; I have a good 6+ years of experience as a player under my belt! I know various mechanics, classes, features, races, and a handful of spells! I’ve been in plenty of games and know the ropes about how to play D&amp;D properly! Preferred Play Style: I am someone who strongly prefers Roleplay above anything else. I may not be too great, I can't do a voice, sometimes I struggle with what I'm trying to say, but I absolutely love RP. Immersing myself in the world the DM is trying to convey and exploring it through NPCs or discovering things alongside the party. There's a certain freedom that D&amp;D can offer in terms of RP that even some of my favorite games; Dragon Age, Skyrim, Witcher (I'm a massive RPG nerd) can't offer.&nbsp; Expectations: I'm expecting a firm but fair DM, who can get immersed in the game while also handling the more mature content of the module. In addition I'm hoping for a DM who create game space that feels welcoming and comfortable for their players.&nbsp; Knowledge on the Setting/Module: I've actually experienced the Curse of Strahd module. However it is not a module I've had the satisfaction of completing. I'm really hoping that things will be different this time around.&nbsp; Favorite/Least Favorite Parts/Moments of your D&amp;D experience: Honestly it has to be getting ghosted. Lately I've been in a few games where the DM suddenly disappeared without explanation. I understand D&amp;D is a hobby and real life is to be prioritized but I won't lie it's really discouraged me as a player and made looking for games quite difficult given how surprisingly often this happens.&nbsp; Why You're Interested: Curse of Strahd is a great module and one of my favorites, it presents a rich atmosphere with interesting characters that one can really get themselves immersed in. It's a game I love and fits perfectly with the kind of character I'm hoping to play.&nbsp; How do you respond to this video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7Ozwsd9X-E" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7Ozwsd9X-E</a>

If interested, reply below with a response to these questions or message DrPhilandChill#1055 on Discord and I can fill you in on more details: Player Name: Addie Age: 21+ (insert ye olde trope about never asking a person their age) Experience with 5E: Less than 1 year. I have always wanted to play D&amp;D but never had the opportunity or a group of people to play with, but I'm picking up on it fairly quickly.&nbsp; Preferred Play Style: It varies. I really enjoy the RP aspect, and the combat is fun, so I go with what works for the group. I've played enough RPGs that the combat is combat and while not a thing I live for, it can be fun. Expectations: A fun campaign where I can learn the mechanics and have fun in. Knowledge on the Setting/Module: I have played this module with a different group, but would love to see the different way people approach this. Favorite/Least Favorite Parts/Moments of your D&amp;D experience: Being told my character's sense of humor doesn't "fit the atmosphere."&nbsp; Why You're Interested: Why wouldn't I be interested!? It's D&amp;D and CoS! How do you respond to this video&nbsp; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA2o6Nac9Yg" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA2o6Nac9Yg</a> &nbsp;:&nbsp; With a little bit of motion sickness at the camera work?
