Roleplay & Combat mix: 60/40 – this is many times determined by the players. Some sessions may be entirely roleplay but on the flip side, some combat happens to drag on and take up a good portion of the session so in average shooting for 60/40.
Number of Players needed: 6

Character options & restrictions: All WOTC published races, including Tortle and Grung. All official classes and some Unearthed Arcana: UA Ranger (Beast Conclave), UA Mystic, and UA Artificer. If UA classes are showing to be OP then may require slight restriction.

Variant Rules: PHB Variant Encumbrance. Variant Critical (max damage on the first dice of doubled dice). Flanking advantage in combat. Fear/Horror checks used mainly to aid in roleplay.

5E Ravenloft-Curse of Strahd horror campaign: This campaign will be the Curse of Strahd adventure with some alterations to make it better match Ravenloft and keep with the gothic horror feel. This adventure is about Heroic characters who get transplanted into a dark land and must survive. The storyline is based on gothic horror, Dracula/Frankenstein type stories.

All players welcome, veterans and those new to D&D.
Looking for 18 and older, due to language (occasional F-Bombs) and horror content (kept within reason, not overly graphic but more than PG-13 at times).
Rules will be consistent 5E. No unexpected rules to nerf your character, other than the upfront variant rules.
As with more current storylines, roleplay by the players will lead to better stories and more immersed horror feel.

About me: I played my first D&D game in the 80’s and ran a campaign in high school during the 90’s. Took a long break and have been playing 5e since it was released. I am decently experienced with FG and I am willing to help others learn it and 5e. I prefer everyone to use webcams to replicate the feel of playing at the actual table. This will be my 3rd travel through the Curse of Strahd adventure.

If interested, post the following info and I will select 6 players.

Your name
Your preferred pronouns/gender identity.
Your level of D&D or Tabletop RPG experience.
Your FG experience.
Your time zone/general region of the world you will be playing from

Your character. Race, class, your background, and small amount of backstory.

I am flexible and have always wanted to play this campaign. I am very interested. Tuesday - Thursdays work great for me. Please keep me in mind. I can play any character that may be needed to have a complete party, but I love to run Pally or Monk. Thank you for the consideration.

Post title says Tuesday and game posting says Wednesday. The best way to get a game started through the forums is to decide on a date/time then announce it rather than trying to get all interested parties to work out a schedule.
