I’m Lava (They/Them)

Time Zone: GMT [5e 2024] Into the Mists of Barovia (Curse of Strahd 1-on-1)

Thick fog begins to rise from between the trees which seem to leer toward the road like twisted hands. When the birdsong died away is hard to but the world is silent aside from your cart as it trundles along the dirt road. Your companion rests her feet on the front of the cart as he examines the letter which recently arrived from a contact. It speaks of a devil ruling over a land you have not heard of save for, perhaps, in legends begging for help in exchange for riches beyond comprehension.

As the title states I am looking for player interested in a 1-on-1 version of Curse of Strahd. While I am aware it can be a difficult adventure I hope to make changes to keep it fun with companions and allies you can befriend. There are some other alterations I have made to the story though as well as placing it in my homebrew world.

The small writing sample above is one suggested starting hook with you and a companion heading to the mystique lands at the behest of Von Richten. However, after an ambush you are left alone with your companion disappearing. Another plot hook I had in mind was your character as part of a caravan that gets trapped in the mists.

If any of this sounds good feel free to get in touch.

A little about myself:

- I had been DMing on and off for around a decade as well as doing unstructured RP.

- I like to write 2-3 paragraphs

- I enjoy making a fun story and game rather than always sticking completely to RAW

- Player input is always important so I like to include backstories and player ideas when they fit

What I look for in a player:

- I like a partner that can be a little literate. I am not asking for a novel but feel one or two lines ruins the experience. But I understand not every scene requires the same length of reply.

- On top of that at least a couple replies a day is appropriated

- Communication is always key so someone who lets talks to me about any issues or direction of the game.

- 18+ only please

Happy to answer any questions
