Possibly im starting a club D&D5/24 game and no idea about regularity, ages, etc so these are current thoughts for a game.

I'm probably drawing from Ravenloft (a non Straad domain) and Grim Hollow books, which are Australian. I plan to keep low level maybe max ppl at 4th (gain stats or feats or other stuff if milestones are happening). Non-humans will stand out and humans will be the dominant species. I will use some slower healing/rest requirements like a long rest requires a day with a proper bed and food. Survival could craft a place to sleep. 

I will keep it grimy and dangerous with cinematic 6-room dungeons with lots of environmental features for dramatic fights. So not using 1980 dungeon design style I normally do. I found using a non-familiar setting and being a bit grimy helps DM control and flexibility. I'll see what happens but I am thinking up some simple one-page dungeons and will show some here. Maybe call it Tenebrae Fields or Macabre Grafschaft. Possibly reading on sale DCC comps might help for ideas.
