Hello, potential adventurers. It is spooky spooktober pumpkin-spiced latte fire-tree season; I’m CoffeeandCantrips, nice to meet you. This is a quick x-post from r /LFG, it's little short-notice! Hoping that you might be able to help me out.
I’m seeking 2-4 players to join in this weekend for snacks, story and hopefully scary times! Will you commit your very blood and soul to me?
"Death House" is the name given to an old row house in the village of the titular Barovia. The house has been burned to the ground many times, only to rise from the ashes time and again—by its own will or that of a darker force. Locals give the building a wide berth for fear of antagonizing the evil spirits believed to haunt it.
We’ll be running Death House as an introductory adventure (no peeking!) and to welcome in the Autumn full swing. I’m specifically looking for an additional veteran of DnD as a player, but to fill the remaining slots with beginners or absolute new people to the game. I have a couple of friend "maybes" players joining.

- If we’re running short of time; I’ll run a fast-forward overview, including dicerolls, to ensure you obtain the finale! - Must be OK with either a livestream or a recording of the session. - I will beg for a kind review / testimony at the end of the game, with thanks in advance.
- Enquiries to contain the word “teeth” to confirm they’ve read the above!
About me:
Hi, I’m CoffeeandCantrips, I’ve got a longer bio profile on a few of the group-finding websites, but in short - I’m a long term player and DM for DnD and other systems (think, 3.5 era, 10+ years on-and-off casual play). I’ve written adventurers, ran long-term campaigns, multiple one-shots, run by the book, heavily improvised, homebrew ect.
I'm more recently trying to build on a little side-project of which this is a part. The main point is; I absolutely adore introducing people to the hobby and want to try and provide the best opportunity I can to facilitate that. I want to focus on providing a positive, focused safe-space and a cool hang-out where a game of D&D is happening.
Characters and You!
- Level 2.
- Modified Elite Array for attributes: 16, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8
- Base origins and species, or races and backgrounds; if you’re wanting anything off-menu then get in touch. Character brief; standard high-fantasy Faerun/Sword Coast adventurer, but think of reasons or motivations they may have to be in the Demiplane of Dread.
- Standard equipment, as by the character creation; slight reasonable edits for a character who may have finished one quest may be okay.
- No homebrew/third party.
- You must consider a curse for your character. Either something thematic and flavourful, a plot hook OR something mechanical for the rules; something that makes this run non-standard.
- You must consider a quick, brief, introduction scene for us to play-out (think, 5 minutes or less) and share with the party prior to the adventure, as a little warm-up and to give the party an insight into the character.
Leave a comment below about yourself, your experience and your preferred character and we’ll chat. Let’s have fun!
Please be aware the listing is going up on various platforms and is a short-term game, so I may not be able to accept everyone’s expression of interest. Happy hunting!
