I was wondering if anyone would be interested in playing a roll20* based Dungeons and Dragons campaign? I think I have all the rules, and think I should be able to DM a particular 1-10 campaign called:
THE CURSE OF STRAHD
Ideally the party is 5 PCs who start from Level 1. The ultimate goal of the campaign is to free a valley from an ancient evil. I think it's about 30-40 hours worth of content and the PCs are around Level 10 by the end. The source material is very open-ended and exploration focused. It stretches a giant valley with two villages, a town, and plenty of sites of interest.
This particular campaign is not known for throwing punches. And is set in a bleak and challenging gothic horror setting. Sometimes the party will take a wrong turn and end up in a high-level area. Diplomacy or sometimes just running your ass off could be the best strategy sometimes.
About D&D 5E. This is by far the best edition I've played. It's much more focused on the PCs riffing and exploring, and the DM guiding the rules to fit what happens. I played my first D&D campaign back in 3.5 in the back of freshman science class. I have been binging on podcasts lately, and think the new streamlined rules and actions make for some super fun and creative gameplay.
A session could be 2-3 hours on a night of the week that worked for everyone. All we'd need to use is the roll20 software, which is entirely browser based. We'd need at least one session 0, to roll characters, describe the basic rules, and to iron things out.
*roll20 is like WebEx for D&D - teamview maps + ability to send handouts, store character sheets, show Monsters, etc.
