The Adventure
Inspired by all the lovely content in the Horror Adventures and Occult Adventures book, with a heaping dose of Red Hook's Darkest Dungeon to boot, the PCs will be at the forefront of a valiant (if perhaps foolhardy) crusade to cleanse a provincial valley from its countless curses, woes, and horrors.
As the new proprietors of the crumbling village of Westchurch, the PCs will venture forth into the Vale to slaughter evil, and hopefully make it back alive and, hopefully, sane.
I foresee this adventure going until at least 6th level, perhaps a few more. I don't want to promise some eternal campaign that will never finish. Players will be presented with possible goals and objectives, and they will be free to explore as they see fit.
Discord
I've found keeping track of play by post games to be sometimes tedious. Discord allows me to be in touch and respond quickly, moving the game forward at a quicker pace. With the help of Dash Delta Bot, rolling dice and calling up items/monsters is even easier.
Submission
I will not ask players to build full characters. Instead, simply submit a brief description of your character, including their race/class combination.
Creating Your Character
Players
I have already a player signed up, so I will be looking to take three new characters. If I get a lot of offers, I may be tempted to run two parties at the same time on two different discord channels, but that remains to be seen.
You've got my interest. While I certainly expect a fair dosage of combat, what percentage of roll play vs role play are you thinking this game will be?

Discord allows a certain flexibility. I'm very open to having good long roleplay back and forths in between the rolls. I know some other potential members have expressed interest in heavier roleplay as well.
Alright, I'll get to work on a character. Mind if I ask what class the player who alright signed up is so there's no overlap?

Hi GM! Your game sounds very interesting! The Horror and Occult hardcovers are also my favorite! While I have used discord for simple chat, I've never attempted to play a game on it. What is the expected posting rate for the game?
@Something Wicked and @Seranov: Yep, same ol' "play by post" commitment but on Discord means I can track the adventure much, much faster but doesn't change the speed. No voice, video or "everyone needs to be on at the same time."
It does give room for smoother roleplaying though if someone's on when I am and we can get some good back and forth.
So expected posting rate is still about 1 check in per day.
However, I've had a lot of interest from some Discord friends so we're already at 5 players, so I may need to run two parties.
If you're still interested, let me know, i'll send you the Discord link and hopefully we get another interested player so we can have 2 groups.
Me too :).
Links have been sent!
Hopefully we can get one last person, as well as Michael back in!

I'm interested. A half-orc alchemist looking to show the world he's not just the scavenger his master took in is my starting concept.

I'll send you the invite link then!
In case people missed the post in the general recruitment thread, this is open to a couple more players.
I'm also interested. I haven't got an ironclad idea of what I'm making yet but I've had this idea for an Oracle for a while so maybe that.

We've ended up merging the first two groups together into a 6 player group since we wanted to avoid delays. If any character drops, you'll be the first person I message as replacement.
Is that alright with you?
