Recruitment is Closed! 06/02/2024 Hello everyone! My established group is looking for one more interested player! Sadly one player had to drop due to circumstances outside the group. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Zeb and I have been roleplaying and game mastering for 28 years! Let me give you a brief overview of my experience: 1. I started game mastering with Marvel Superheroes (1986 publication) that I found at a garage sale when I was 15 (1996), that my friends and I would play during lunch periods in high school. 2. I played in AD&D (2e) for many years (16'ish) 3. I game mastered a 6 yearlong campaign of Legend of the Five Rings (d10 edition). 4. I also have game mastered 3rd edition D&D, 3.5 D&D, Pathfinder 1e, and now D&D5e. 5. I currently run a conversion of AD&D 2e Ravenloft material (Requiem Box Set) to D&D 5th edition on another week day. The game I'm recruiting for is a kit-bash of Blades in the Dark setting, and an Oliver Clegg adventure, all set in a Domain of Dread! The general flavoring of this campaign will be Alice in Wonderland meets Cthulhu mythos set to a Dishonored backdrop. Since the material is set in the Domains of Dread (Ravenloft), there will be gore, body horror, cult stuff, social evils, and general horror scenarios in this game. 18+ is a must. This will be a long-running sand-box campaign, 6 to 12+ months depending on player urgency with the story. Interested? Read more below about the campaign and contact me! I will respond to set up a day and time to chat on Discord about the game, and material that the campaign will involve. During our chat I will gauge your group compatibility. During our interview session, we will talk about house rules, homebrew content that the game is using, etc. The Game S tructure - The campaign itself will be contained within a single city and will allow players to grow their characters from levels 15 to 20. Ravenloft (Domains of Dread) is an extremely flexible setting allowing for characters from any setting to join. (i.e. Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Ravnica, etc.) As DM, I allow new characters to be from any Wizards of the Cost published setting and official partner content (i.e. Critical Role, or Grim Hallow) if you so choose. I also allow any class, race, background, and rule set from WotC or partnered material. Player Agency- As a player you have full agency of creative control and flavor over your character. My favorite saying as a DM: “Flavor is Free!” meaning reskinning existing races or classes is 100% in your creative wheel house as long as you do not seek a game mechanic change. I will work with you to set aside time to have a character-building session outside the campaign’s normal day/time if you'd like. During our character-building session, we will talk about level 15 options for gear, magic items, and wealth. The Campaign World - You and a hand full of other misfits with missing memories must thrive amidst the threats of gangs, powerful noble families, strange unspeakable monsters, the Bluecoats of the city watch, and the siren song of your own lost past. Will you rise to solve the twisting knot of Doskvol's secrets? Or will you die in some gutter choking on your life blood. Game Day, Time, Language, and Cost- Weekly on Fridays 7:30pm est to 12am(ish) est. I speak English and sadly no others, so the game will be run in English. We are a free to play group! We use Roll20 for the game platform and Discord for voice chat. My Promise to You- I have spent many hours developing this campaign but I'm open to feedback if things don't seem right or the story has a plot hole. I run open, sandbox, player-centric games that uses timers and triggers for events to make the world seem more alive. I enjoy developing collaborative personalized story arcs with players that result in awesome character development and special rewards. Also, during a session, I try to spotlight every character in some way. I follow the rules presented in the players handbook and the dungeon masters guide plus any other official Wizards of the Coast books. If a rule comes into question, we research it and adjust gameplay as needed. I can teach and instruct you how to use Roll20 as well as the rules for D&D5e. I will also cover horror themes during our 1-on-1 session to make sure you are comfortable with the material we will be interacting with. Expectations- Have fun. Be engaged. Be respectful. This is my hobby; I love game mastering. Other people roleplay to blow off steam or for much needed social interaction with like-minded people. Frankly, we are all here to have fun, myself included. There should not be a "Me vs the GM" mindset here. I am not your enemy... I mean yes, I will try and kill the characters... but not in a mean or spiteful way.
