Hi there! I go by Rani. I'm a 30+ woman, and looking to join a group of other mature adults (21+). I am specifically looking for a dark/gothic horror fantasy game to reboot a particular character of mine. His original Curse of Strahd game died, and I am hoping to find either a new Curse of Strahd game to join or another variety of horror campaign. He is a College of Spirits Bard, flavored as a spirit medium/seer. He starts out as a charlatan, but gradually awakens to legit (and unwanted) spiritual power.  While I have a particular character in mind, I do plan to rebuild/rework him for whatever new group/campaign I join.

I'm someone who gets very immersed in story, atmosphere, characters and love seeing how a story unfolds and what trials and tribulations everyone's characters go through. And I'd love a group where character backgrounds or personal plothooks are woven into the overall campaign.

I cannot guarantee I will create an optimal character build for combat, or play them in an optimal manner. I adore grabbing onto dangerous hooks, playing into themes of fear and dread and it's wonderful rolling low and seeing just what the DM has in store. I enjoy a good mix of combat and exploration and puzzles, and love a sense of danger in the game, world, and story. But I aim to inject roleplay into every aspect of the game, so I do tend to look at combat and such as an extension of the roleplay instead of a different part of the game.

I'm looking specifically for a group that plays over voice chat, and does not require a webcam and no plans to do any streaming. I do have pretty bad social anxiety, so can be kind of shy with a group of strangers. It will likely take me a few sessions to get comfortable and start speaking up more.

Thank you for reading!
