Looking for DM – Curse of Strahd Campaign (2 Players) Hi there! My friend Jens and I are looking for a Dungeon Master to run a Curse of Strahd campaign for us. We’re hoping to find a DM who enjoys running a serious, immersive, roleplay-heavy game with strong gothic horror atmosphere and meaningful consequences. We’re both very excited about the setting and are looking for a long-term campaign where story, character development, and party dynamics are central. 👤 About Us Ben (me) 25 years old, based in Europe ~7 years experience with D&D 5e Current DM for a monthly in-person campaign (1+ year ongoing) Previously prepared a Curse of Strahd campaign and fell in love with the setting Experienced with roleplay-heavy, long-form storytelling games Comfortable with serious tone and collaborative storytelling Jens 25 years old A few months of D&D experience Very enthusiastic and eager to learn Especially drawn to dark, gothic fantasy settings Looking to grow his roleplay and system understanding through play 🎭 What We’re Looking For We are looking for a Curse of Strahd campaign that is challenging, We enjoy tension, risk, and meaningful consequences. We would love a DM who enjoys: Roleplay-heavy storytelling A dark, gothic, consequence-driven world Long-term campaign commitment Party-driven narrative development Creative freedom and player-driven choices ⚔️ Desired Gameplay Style / Systems Lethality system: Death is permanent when a character dies, if all characters die the campaign ends. we had the idee to use tashas couldron companion rules a a sort of “extra life” system: Each player begins with 2 companions that can be developed into full player characters when the players main character dies. These act as backup lives. However, they can also die independently, removing those extra survivability layers before the main character dies. Expanded Lingering Injuries system: for this we would like to use the Farlandworld Lingering Injuries by Damage Type. Expanded Indefinite Madness system: for this I have a D100 list. As you can tell we are fully on board for a brutal, gritty, and consequence-heavy experience, and we are actively looking for a DM who enjoys running that kind of game. We’re not looking to “win” Curse of Strahd we’re looking to survive it, suffer through it, and tell a memorable story doing so. No character should be the same after Barovia is done with them... 🧰 Practical Info Availability is during night hours 19:00/20:00 until 23:00/00:00. Discord for voice I know Roll20 but other platforms are fine Stable internet and working microphones System is DND 5e (2014) 🌫️ Final Note if you are a DM who enjoys a challenge wants to dish out curses and run a truly horific Curse of Strahd experience. Then this is the game for you! we’d love to hear from you, please send us your discord and something about yourself so we can conntact you and plan a call. Ben & Jens
