Curse of Strahd: Dead & Loving It

Campfire embers are the last thing you remember. Whether you were traveling alone or guarding a merchant caravan, the wilderness suddenly went dead silent. Then came the masked attackers—too many, too coordinated, and overwhelmingly lethal. Your camp was slaughtered. But you? You were taken. You awaken in darkness, bound in heavy chains deep underground. If you ever want to feel the sun on your face again, you and your fellow captives must forge a desperate alliance, break free, and survive an escape that will spiral into a world-spanning epic.

Send a direct message to @acedespadas on Discord or directly here for to inquire for more. If you’re a great fit for the table, I’ll send over the lore primers and everything you need to start building your character! A BIT ABOUT ME: Hello, my name is Aron, I’m 34 and I started playing this game as the forever DM just before COVID hit and have been DMing multiple weekly games since. I am for the most part fairly introverted which this hobby has helped deal with, and while I may not do all the little funny voices (it’s a thing I’m working on) I’m a sucker for the Rule of Cool and a good story! And what better story then one you build together as a collaboration with other like minded individuals?! Outside of D&D my interests revolve heavily around music, movies, and other general nerd things

The world of Phelun is an old one that has seen many conflicts throughout its history. While times seem peaceful, beneath the surface there are whisperings of the Dragon Queen stirring within her prison, strange events occurring upon the continent of Ines, and adventure awaiting upon the lost continent of Asoris. This is an 18+ only server that is a mix of go at your own pace pbp and west marches living world elements.  https://discord.gg/X8dFsNrjBw This is a new Server that has been worked on by one DM for 3 months. It currently features the following:     PbP forums for those who prefer slower RPs.     Living world channels where characters can explore the lands or meet one another in real time in the pub.     DM run Tables. (We are looking for more DMs to help run tables)     Mining, gathering, fishing, and exploration through Avrae commands (commands are ready, but random tables need to be filled out more for variety).     Random in game daily events (not tied to irl days, and still being worked on).     Market to buy items.     Guilds (will need leaders).     Job command to earn coin and a living world channel to RP the work in. (currently being reworked)     Custom Drinking command for the pub.     Player housing.

I am looking to start a new long-term group to run through the Hoard of the Dragon Queen and potentially beyond. This portion of the post is normally where I sell the campaign module. But Hoard of the Dragon Queen is already pretty famous, so suffice it to say- There will be adventure, there will be dungeons and there inevitably WILL BE DRAGONS! We will be playing in person at my house, using miniatures and wargaming terrain. I live near 1-25 and Eisenhower Blvd in Loveland. Game night will be determined by the group but game time will be roughly 530 to 830/9pm. My schedule is flexible and can accommodate a weeknight or weekend schedule. My house is a non-smoking environment, so feel free to smoke/puff before you show up. If you want to have a few beers while we play, thats fine. But i try to keep drinking to a 2 drink minimum since people getting tanked at the table is a problem. Also, I have 2 dogs, so if you are allergic this might not be the game for you.    As far as how I am as a DM, I'd say I run a game world that takes itself seriously.  The dice come out in every session, and I lean more heavily into combat than i do role-playing. I prefer players that are driven, and want to achieve things in the game. I also think the most important player quality is attendance. People missing games and cancelling is the #1 reason games die off.     I prefer to stick with the standard PHB lineages. For classes and subclasses, I am ok with homebrew, but it will need to be approved and if I have a problem with whatever it is, we will try to rework it before I say it's not going to work.     I also homebrew enemy stat blocks heavily. If you are the type of person who has memorized the entire monster manual and will become upset when the enemies use spells and abilities that aren't in the book, this is not the game for you.    The Hoard of the Dragon Queen is one of the first modules ever released for 5th Edition, and it is a bit rough around the corners. I'll be making some edits to the module, mostly to make the game more enjoyable to run and to play.    The characters will be starting at level 1, and the group will decide if we roll for stats or if we use the standard array.    There's always tons of stuff i forget to write during a LFG post, so if you have questions feel free to reply, message me directly, or feel free to hit me up on discord- biossecond
