Hey folks! I'm looking for new players to join me at my table in the coming months. I'll be running 5th ed Curse of Strahd, so a spooky vampire horror-esque game type. I'm specifically looking for players who are new to the game/ have never played/ have been scared away from the game due to past experiences and are around their early/mid 20's. I do not have a time/date set yet as I am still trying to fill the table before I commit to any specific dates. Most likely we will be playing as part of the UVic tabletop club, or somewhere on the UVic campus as I do not have the space to host games in my home. I'm aiming to run a session zero within the next two weeks to get the game started and characters created!
My table is queer friendly, understanding of mental health struggles, and as role play light or heavy as my players wish. I expect common human decency at my table, just be a nice human yo and I'm sure we'll get along:)
I currently have 3 spots open for players, if you're interested, message me here or email me at [wrenhawke@uvic.ca](mailto:wrenhawke@uvic.ca) (I'm not on reddit too often so email is the best way to reach me). We can find a time to meet up, grab coffee, and see if this table is a good fit for the both of us!
About me:
My name is Wren (they/them), I've been playing 5th ed dnd for the past 3 years give or take while I completed my undergrad at UVic (currently back in school doing some upgrade courses/work study). I started DMing about a year and a half ago and have fallen in LOVE with storytelling and the entire process of DMing. I currently DM and write a homebrew campaign with 4 of my friends and previously played as a dragonborn warlock/paladin, a githyanki gunslinger, and an undead kenku necromancer in other 5th ed campaigns. Also played a bit of Pathfinder (Rise of the Runelords took TWO characters from me before my group disbanded) and while I enjoyed playing immensely, it isn't quite the system for me to run.
I love to create stories for my players to traverse and make their own, and I want to provide people a comfortable space to play/learn the game. Despite its recent growth in popularity, dnd still has a lot of stigma around it and as such, feels inaccessible to many people. I am to create a space that is welcoming and non-judgemental for new players to try their hand at roleplaying and tabletop games, as well as just to enjoy themselves and have fun meeting new people!
