Curse of Strahd, aka sexy vampires

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind’s howling increases as he turns his gaze down toward the village of Barovia. A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. The master of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner—and you are invited.

Game style

Theater of the Mind

“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

Kicks is an awesome DM. He has so many voices and accents for all the npcs and monsters he roleplays. And with the compelling story and music, you really feel immersed. He goes with the rule of cool and allowed a lot of freedom and creativity from us the players. I had a lot of fun and I would recomnend it to everyone.

Kicks has been dming me for a few months now and within that time me and the group have all had amazing experiences. His stories will constantly leave you wanting more, his worldbuilding is filled with intrigue and curiosity and truly wows your mind. Constantly subverts our expectations in the best way possible. They're also generally just a very fun person to be around, always leaving little things within the campaign that are nods or easter eggs to other things. He is also incredibly hard working and will do their best to accommodate whatever you have in mind and make your character properly feel like a part of the world, or not a part of it if they're perhaps not from there, regardless you'd love to be dm'ed by Kicks.

Kicks is like, the guy. Every guy, girl or other in your world just comes to life spilling out of his lips, in a way that feels like you’re meeting someone new, and not a caricature. You want someone that knows the rules inside out? Why settle when you can instead have Kicks, someone that breathes the very essence of the game. Each session starts with a question about your character, a different way of feeling them out, and it is ultimately because Kicks is invested in your character’s place in the world, and telling a memorable story that you are a part of; a story with more than just blood and guts, but meat, heart, skin, and all the other tasty bits. Kicks is an adventure, and are you not an adventurer? Get. On. That.

Kicks is the kind of DM that lets you fully immerse yourself in role play. They’ll give you every NPC character voice under the sun and you’ll have so much fun with it, you’ll get sidetracked in character conversations all the time. Combat with Kicks is challenging but fair, and they’ll always keep you engaged with plot hooks. Plus Kicks is just a super cool dude. Very much enjoy playing in their games and can highly recommend joining.

How to prepare

Players will need a good quality microphone and headphones, we will be using DnDBeyond, Roll20 and the Beyond20 browser extension. Players will make a character through DnDBeyond, I have content and will provide content sharing for anyone wanting an un-owned feature.

What I provide

I will provide content sharing through DnDBeyond, maps through Roll20, and enthusiasm!

Gameplay details

Lines and veils are established in session 0 in order to make sure that everyone is on board and that no one is made to feel uneasy. An X card approach is used to make sure that if a player were to encounter something incredibly uncomfortable, they are able to immediately and without judgment, stop what is happening.

How will character creation work

Characters will start at level 1 and advance to level 11. Stats will be generated in the session with 4d6 drop lowest. I also offer a free 1-on-1 character creation chit-chat to make sure your PC can feel right at home in the world. I would love as well a good quality backstory along with your character.
