LFP (Looking for Players) [Online][5e 2024][Sunday 10AM GMT][18+][LGBTQ+] One-Shot into Durst Manor i.e The Death House!
Hey-Hey! :3 I'm Miya, a Dungeon Master of 6 years, I am looking for 2-3 players to get into the Autumn swing of things with the Introductory One-Shot into Barovia!! DISCLAIMER I ACCIDENTILY PUT SUNDAY instead of SATURDAY
[0] The DM
You can call me Miya, autistic, passionate, and relentless. I've been running D&D for 6 years since 2020, and I'm here to display and share that passion for TTRPGs to you !! :O
I especially enjoy helping new players get comfortable with the game and making it easy to jump in. My table is built on inclusivity, respect, and collaboration. I want every player to feel welcome, heard, and able to contribute to the story. I encourage and celebrate my players' uniqueness.
I’ve run games in living rooms, game stores, conventions, and plenty of places in between. No matter the setting, my goal is always the same: to create a fun, engaging experience and a story worth remembering.
If you want someone who hates AI, likes to draw, is obsessed with world-building (and going above for session prep), character-driven stories, combat that doesn't feel thoughtless; And one who'll love your OCs - Then let me behind the DM screen! :DDD
I've ran 4+ long-term homebrew campaigns, which are my forté. Below in the google form is a link to more about me as a DM.
[1] Game Time
We're going to play on Saturday the 24th October at 2PM GMT with session time towards 5 hours. There is a ever so itsy chance this can take 2 sessions so keep that in mind when applying!
[2] Outline/Themes
[Dark Fantasy, Gothic Horror, Mystery, Roleplay Focus, Gore]
"Death House" is the name given to an old row house in the village of Barovia. The house has been burned to the ground many times, only to rise from the ashes time and again—by its own will or that of a darker force. Locals give the building a wide berth for fear of antagonizing the evil spirits believed to haunt it.
[3] What players I'm looking for
I’m looking for someone who enjoys collaborative storytelling, one that shares the spotlight, and is just as invested in character moments and roleplay as they are in combat (where you should also roleplay btw).
My three Cs: Communication, Cooperation, and Care ->
This may be a game but it's also fantasy and magic using the imagination and time of all of us, we have to treat it with respect. They say the truth is ugly, but do you what's also ugly? Monsters. When one rears it head into the light, you slay it quickly of course, so if something is wrong, let us know instead of letting the monster rampage later on. Reliability, open communication, engagement and a willingness to work together both in and out of character are very important to us. Caring and listening to each other, their characters, and their moments makes for a beautiful thing that makes D&D what it is.
[4] How do we play at my table?
Discord for voice chat (and video), with FoundryVTT (provided) as my virtual table top of choice for the past years for dice rolls and sheets, which you can join through a browser (preferably chromium based).
The characters will be 2nd level to skip over the mid-adventure levelling process from 1-2.
[5] Safety Tools
I focus on having a safe space for everybody at my table. During the session, FoundryVTT will be able to have the ability to subtly raise your hand or show an X-Card to me. So if the current/following scene needs to be broken up, I will immediately know of it and we stop to assess how to move forward or call a break to handle things more hands on. Open Door policy, so you have every right to get up from our table and leave.
[6] End
Apply here: https://forms.gle/tuimatmybdvw6vpN9 PS. In the application I added a google drive with some examples of my work, maps, art, handouts, etc.. Also when you get to the question of 'if you read the outline', put no as the answer (checking to see if people read 'till the end).
