Note: This is the third recruitment for game running almost a year already. We have place for two more players. You can see second recruitment but you will be joining party right after they are done with Werewolves' quest.

Short summary
System: PHB 2024.
Peace: a post per 1-2 days
How to apply: post your interest here. Actually nice to have: add a sentence of why do you think you would enjoy playing Curse of Strahd and I may probably disappoint you.


Questions and Answers
Party composition: two monks and sorcerer. Any class will fit good, perhaps rogue wouldn't feel valued as monks kind of fill that role.
Current story: recap is prepared for you in game forum, don't want module spoilers in public, so keeping in hidden
Magic items, extra money: see Character creation rules on game page

I'm interested. I've been hoping to one day run it for friends, so experiencing it as a player would be good. we wouldn't run it for quite some time, though. I own the book, but I've barely read it. I mostly ran the "Strahd must die tonight" halloween one shot version, which only makes me aware of how strahd's castle works (mostly). I don't own the 2024 PHB, but the free material should be enough to get me going.

I'm interested as well. The whole Stradh thing has always piqued my interest. The dark setting would make for a nice alterantive to the typical bright and upbeat settings one usually encounters.

I haven't looked at the 2024 PHB either, but will check out the starter materials.

@Ironmonger42 @Dhakhan thank you for your interest. Great to hear. I will leave recruitment open till end of the week, may have to roll some dice if more people apply. Meanwhile some comments on your posts:

2024 free rules are all you really need. In game play I only refer to free rules. PHB allow some extra diversity in character creation, but my opinion - free rules are good enough to play your first or first few characters.

Dark is not just the settings. Even if you play DnD module where PCs are thrown into hell or underdark - it always feel like a fairy tale of heroes beating the bad. Strahd is different. Are you ready for story we tell to be dark rather then just the settings?

P.S. it is Strahd not Stradh. That's a typo I used to make. Funny I'm not the only one.

Missed it but if you have room I would love to play a cleric or Druid.
