Looking for player to joining already running Curse of Strahd: Reloaded Campaign [Weekly] [Fridays 6pm BST] [Online]

• Tone. This will be a heroic fantasy adventure in a dark fantasy/gothic horror setting. Your character should be a hero, or have the potential to swiftly become a hero when faced with a life-or-death situation. Be prepared to cooperate and collaborate with the other players in order to succeed.
• Theme. While this campaign will not explore or focus upon your character's personal backstory, you should allow the campaign's characters and setting to inspire your character to confront their own regrets, traumas, flaws, and fears.
• Engagement. This campaign takes place in a setting with a deep history, including complex relationships between several dozen non-player characters. You should expect to take notes and take a sincere interest in the lore of this world.
• Tactics & Difficulty. This campaign has been balanced to present a challenging, but fair gameplay experience. However, to succeed, you will often need to recruit additional allies while avoiding alienating potential enemies. Consider the consequences of your actions carefully, and avoid taking actions without careful consideration.
• Roleplay. This campaign is primarily driven by the stories of its non-player characters, and their relationships to the party. Be prepared to form meaningful relationships with the characters you encounter, and allow yourself to emotionally invest in those characters' success.
• Rewards. Treasure, magic items, and other material rewards will be far more scarce than in an ordinary fantasy campaign. Instead, most rewards will take the form of allies, information, and new story hooks, with experience points awarded for narrative milestones you achieve as you proceed through the campaign.
• Narrative. The campaign begins with a linear structure, but soon evolves into a more expansive sandbox. Be prepared to balance and prioritize multiple quests, including many with clear deadlines.

Due to the nature of this being a dark horror setting there are a variety of potential triggers that can arise such as:

Who am I (the DM)?

I have been playing D&D 5e and various other TTRPG systems for almost 10 years now, and in that time I have ran a fewlong-term campaigns as well as a handful of shorter games.

I am always a huge believer in wanting to support you to create the character you hope to create, and as such I am always flexible when it comes to flavouring (or potentially reworking) character abilities and weapons if agreed upon ahead of time. However, as much as I am always willing to attempt to support players in accomplishing things that the primary ruleset does not, I am still likely to rely upon the core ruleset whenever possible to ensure a balanced and fair experience. As with many things, if you ensure to discuss things with me ahead of time and are willing to handle my rulings in the moment for us to discuss and tweak potential future rulings after the fact then I am more than happy for you to join the campaign.

If you have any further questions about me or my DMing then please let me know.
