Hi there! I've been on a module binge recently and one I have always wanted to sink my teeth into is Ravenloft / Curse of Strahd, so to speak. I'm preferably looking for players who have not experienced Barovia's mysteries before, though I'm happy to welcome one or two on board should the situation arise. Feel free to join regardless of whether you're new to D&D or a long time player.
A few things of note:
• Additional races from Unearthed Arcana, Tomb of Beasts and Xanderpanda's guide to everything may be allowed on a case by case basis. Some of them I love, some of them could break Curse of Strahd's setting a bit, so just let me know what you're thinking before polishing off your sheet.
• We'll use 27 point buy to generate level 1 characters. We'll use the in built dice system in RPGuild for player rolls and link them. I would suggest storing your character sheet information on mythweavers or the like, but I can produce a BBCode sheet if you prefer not to.
• Upon character creation and acceptance, each of you will receive a PM from me titled with the rp & character name. Any information your character gains thats unique to you (e.g. a high perception check is rolled, some character-npc interactions or knowledge) will go here.
• Barovia is a dangerous place and somewhat open-ended. It is possible to wander into situations that could kill you. We will be using milestone XP, so retreating or finding alternate solutions to problems to save resources can often be a wise choice.
• I've got a few editions knocking round my noggin so there will be homebrew situations here and there. I'm open to discussion, but when I make a ruling, I do so to keep the game rolling, so please respect that.
• Curse of Strahd includes a character background called The Haunted One you can use, it can be found here.
• There's also a monster hunting kit, which I will allow you to switch into your background if it suits. Here is what it contains.

I think that's everything. I'm looking for a party of 4-5 players ideally.
EDIT: We now have full slots. Any further interest before launch, and I will happily run two versions of the campaign to a max of two groups of 4. Thankyou
