A Cursed House: The WEEK of Visitors Mini-Campaign
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Story: You're in need of money and a place to stay, one night in a snowy town a job offer comes your way at a tavern: "House Sitters Wanted; 4 Platinum Per Qualified Applicant." Why, an offer too good to be true! And it is. For a full week you and your party are tasked with watching this strange house while its owner leaves the mountain territory. She leaves you a scroll with a strict set of instructions on it and the warning; "If you break any rule on that list, your payment is void." Some instructions are simple, others are specific and strange. Things seem fine until the snow comes down, trapping you all in the house and its surrounding woods the entire duration of your job. As the hours that turn to days pass, your party must complete their tasks, keep things stable, and above all else stay safe. Try to resist unlocking doors, face the absurd and haunting events that plague he house after dark. Will you and your party make it home for Yuletide? Player Info: This game follows an in game time table where each night is one session. It's roleplay and puzzle based with combat scattered around.
Game style
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

What I provide
A Present for You!🎁 🎨 As a thank-you for playing my games, I'll make a small drawing (chibis, doodles, meme template ect.) of all player characters who finish the game the night of session the week after we play. See my profile pic for an example of my work. 🖼️ Normal DM Offerings: Access to D&D 5e content, maps to play around in, background/battle music, NPC voice/character acting, a place to escape from the real world and be whatever-or whoever-you want to be. 😊 I'm a roleplay lover always encourage character interaction as you will be cooperating over the strange rules of this house the whole night. And of course: [Expect the unexpected! I love a good bit and always have a trick up my sleeve 🤞
Gameplay details
After signing up I'll send players a google form where any and all triggers they may have are privately disclosed. This form or a talk with me over Discord is mandatory to play. I advise all players use the XNO system via dming me or in text channels in the game server/roll20. All games will have a bathroom/snack break around halfway in no matter what. During this break I will move you all to a map called "The Doodle Room" where you can draw for fun while you wait! NO NSFW ART IN THE DOODLE ROOM IS ALLOWED. Games will end in discussion about the session, and feedback between GM and players so we can all decompress and learn for the future <3.

How will character creation work
Player's should all be level 8, all races and classes are welcome. Magic items (besides armor) are limited to 3-4 per player, only one can be of the Rare category, nothing stronger. You can have up to two pieces of Common-Uncommon magic armor. If anything is homebrew please give me notice so I can approve it ahead of time. Please come with character sheets ready, you can make your sheets on dndbeyond, as pdfs, or roll20 as long as I can see them. If you have a preference let me know and I'll make a link to a dndbeyond campaign for you. Pdfs should be sent in dms or over the server channels. I would like all characters given to me before the day of the game or at the latest 3 hours before we start. If a player needs help making a character feel free to reach out as long as it's not the night of the game!
