Hi all, So I fancy running a game tonight and thought I would run one act of my recently ended Ravenloft campaign. The campaign ran for two years but I anticipate this act taking maybe 4 or 5 3-4hr sessions to complete. Very short notice so if I don't get enough takers, no big deal and sorry for wasting peoples time for those that do apply. - Game would be tonight at 7.30pm UK time (BST) - yep, roughly 6 hours from this posting! - Emphasis on RP and mystery solving - though there is no shortage of combat, combat will not be the focus of the game. This will be RP heavy, expect to be asked to stay in character. - The game will be set in Ravenloft - but not Barovia. Forget everything you may know from CoS. As 5e hasn't updated the Ravenloft rules book, I will be using certain campaign specific rules from previous editions. I doubt very much of this will come into play though to be honest, as this is just a one shot rather than a campaign. - Game has some adult themes as well as some very dark, unsettling events. If you are easily shocked this won't be the game for you. To clarify, this is not ERP and there will not be sexual violence committed against player characters either from other pcs or from npcs. This is not what I am hinting at! But on the fantasy scale, it is going to be much closer to Game of Thrones than Harry Potter. The evil is truly evil - expect unspeakable darkness that will make you hate the baddies. - With the above in mind I would like an older player base for this. I'm thinking ideally 30+ but this isn't going to be a hard rule. For full disclosure, I'm 50. - The game will have a horror, serious flavour to it. Please bear this in mind when thinking of your characters. It will also be set in a humancentric society - just something to bear in mind. Though all standard published races will be allowed, the more fantastical ones (dragonborn, genasi etc) may not suit the tone of the game. As it's a one shot, I'm not going to be too strict on this aspect though - just ask you to keep the tone of the game in mind. - Game will be on roll20 (obviously), with voice on Discord. - There are some additional rules which are related to how I like to run my games - these will be posted in the #rules channel of the discord server. I would post them here, but its going to make for a long advert! Trust me when I say that there is nothing too weird and wonderful in there. With all that said, if you are interested please post below with a little about yourself. Name, age, experience (not a game changer, happy to take new players along) and a rough idea of what you would like to play. Don't go into too much detail - I'd prefer backstories were kept secret from your fellow players. Also, as time is tight, I realise backstory detail may be a bit sparse - and that's fine. As long as there is some backstory albeit only in your head! Ideally I'm looking for 4 or 5 players - though with short notice that may be an ask. Thanks for reading.
