Game: Dungeons & Dragons 5e Curse of Strahd & Van Richten's Guide with lots of homebrew/re-working
Time: 7PM EST, sessions to last 3 to 4 hours
Cost: $10US/session, $30/month paid in advance via Paypal (see below for explanation)
Fantasy Grounds: I have the ultimate license, so all you need is the free version
# of Players: No more than 6 preferably, but I will do my best to work with people who come in as a group.
ON COST: The $30/month assumes that we will play on average 3 sessions each month. We may play more, I do not charge extra for additional sessions, I consider it win/win when we get to get together for the game more often.
About Me: DM/GM with 30+ years of experience across a multitude of game systems. I like to think of myself as a story-focused DM. I have very little patience for power gamers, rules lawyers, murder hobos, and the like. Not knocking your preferred play style, enjoy it in good health, just saying that you won't enjoy my games. I often (sometimes spontaneously) go off-script, so the adventure (in this case Curse of Strahd) I'm using is at best a framework, please don't expect a note-by-note use of the existing material.
What is expected from players? To sum it up, cooperation. You are expected to create and play a character that has reasons to cooperate with the group toward common goals. You should also be ready to cooperate with the DM. I am not your opponent, we are cooperating to tell a fun story.
The Game: This is a grim, nasty setting with a lot of material that may bother some people. Additionally I'll be using a corruption mechanic based on older editions of D&D, and PCs who fall into the darkness may be lost to it forever.
CHARACTER CREATION
*NOTE - if you don't see it listed here, that means it is not available. I absolutely will not allow material from UA, nor any of the Magic the Gathering settings, don't bother asking.
Ability Scores: Standard Array or Point Buy ONLY. No random rolling. You may apply the rule from Tasha's that allows you to place your ability score bonuses from race (if any) where you please.
Backgrounds: You may select official backgrounds from the Players Handbook or Van Richten's Guide
Races: Races may be selected from the Players Handbook, Van Richten's Guide, or Mordenainen's Monsters of the Multi-verse. NOTE HOWEVER that most of the Domains of Dread are humanocentric and often outright xenophobic. Your choice of race WILL affect not only your game abilities, but your roleplay options.
Classes: Classes and subclasses from the Player's Handbook, Tasha's Cauldron, and Xanathar's Guide.
Equipment: You receive equipment and gold as per your character class and background.
