He is the ancient for his beginnings are shrouded by the fog of time, as dense as the one that surrounds his domain. None remembers and the dead keep their secrets.
Somewhere deep, beyond the timeless night, somewhere far, beyond the cold of death, lies time when the people yet knew how to smile, when the sun rose from beyond the horizon come morning. That time is now but a sparkle, as distant as the starless sea above us, as faint and fleeting as the hope of the young, as silent as the prayer of the dying. Where there is no future, there is no present, nothing can end where there is no beginning, eternity and a moment are a bride and a groom in the land where all was sentenced to stillness.
He is the land for his is the fate of all. His was the hand, his was the soul, his was the blood and his the deaths toll. Yet none remembers and the oath sealed by blood, only blood can unseal.
The soil wails, the wind carries the lamentations of the damned. The withered trunks whisper of death inevitable, the dark waters sing of anguish unending. Our lives are beads on a string knit by a devil; puppets woven from desolation. Our wills were stolen from us, beauty taken from us, the sun has long forsaken us. We beg the deaf, worship the dead, invoke the forgotten. We sing the requiem to salvation, but there is none to pity us. Our tears are shed in vain for as long as the darkness reigns; we shall not know the end of our plight.

Hello and welcome friend! My name is Jay and I would like to invite you to join my brand new Dungeons and Dragons campaign during which Il try to run possibly the most famous of the official DnD modules Curse of Strahd. If you now plan on scrolling down, ignoring the remainder of the text, I strongly advise you to reconsider and read my post in its entirety. The first word of the password is “miserable”.
First and foremost a bit about me. I am a 22-year-old college student, a huge fantasy and sci-fi fan, literary geek and last but not least a passionate TTRPG enjoyer. I have been DMing DnD 5e for over four years now and had gone through multiple campaigns, many of which were run online. I have had many interesting encounters and many memorable experiences thanks to DnD and I had always tried learning from my mistakes and capitalizing on my strengths. I see this campaign as yet another opportunity to take a step forward and yet again dive into what I love doing.
story and lore driven campaign with a focused plot slightly inspired by a wide variety of entertainment media (read videogames, books etc. we will still be running CoS)
attention given to each individual player, character and the PC story arc
friendly and welcoming group dynamic
The requirements (no exceptions, do not sign up if you don’t meet any of the below):
20 – 35 years of age
fast internet connection that can handle running video and voice
functioning microphone and webcam (that you are willing to use, no phone cams)
basic knowledge of DnD 5e (this is not a campaign for complete beginners)
the ability and willingness to commit to and follow a regular session schedule
the ability and willingness to commit to advanced roleplay (a basic experience in this field is almost a requirement)
the second word of the password is “pile”
the ability and willingness to commit time (nothing unreasonable, I know there are other things than DnD) to the game outside of the sessions
the ability and willingness to help me cover small campaign expenses (Roll20 and Inkarnate subscription, this should be less than 2 euros a month)
The details of the campaign:
the sessions will be ran weekly on Saturdays starting at 5 pm GMT +1 and finishing around 9 or 10 pm
I aim to run the module for a gender-mixed group of five players total
the campaign will be ran trough Roll20 (maps, handouts, sheets and music), DnD Beyond (sheets) and Discord (video and voice)
there will be fairly strict attendance rules in place
the third word of the password is “of”
there will situational house rules in place, but the 5e system will remain mostly untouched
Upon contacting me, you will be subjected to a screening selection process (I know, it sounds scary) which will culminate with a voice + video interview upon which results you will either be accepted into the campaign, respectfully rejected and or put onto a replacement list. The last word of the password is “secrets”. So now you know that if you patiently read all the way here, you have a much higher chance of being taken in than that one guy who saw the title and messaged me on Discord. Therefore, even if this post is already a bit old, I encourage you to try out your luck. There might still very well be some free player slots.
If, ideally after reading trough the post, you feel like this campaign is something that you would be willing to commit your time to, message me on discord Agneus#4414 to apply. I hope to speak to you soon!
Miserable pile of secrets! let me know if you would be willing to do just audio as i do not own a webcam :} if so my discord is Honor#3388 id love to hear from you and/or answer any questions you may have.
