Under the Cloudy Barovian Sky 🦇 A Curse of Strahd Adventure
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
As you watch in horror, a dark mist rolls around you, surrounding you. Suddenly, the trees are different. The road looks strange. Where are you? We are about halfway through this adventure but there is still a lot of story left to tell. Hi, I'm Katy, and I will be your Game Master for this adventure. I've taken the much-beloved hardcover module Curse of Strahd and made some tweaks, adjustments, and additions. Using content from third parties, older editions, and some original material of my own creation, I've expanded this module to culminate at level 15. The campaign will probably take two years to complete, possibly longer. This is a dark horror campaign. We will be using Saftey Tools to ensure everyone's enjoyment, but I do expect everyone to lean into the horror aspects and keep the tone serious. Your character is not familiar with Barovia and has never heard of this land or Strahd. We will be using Milestones to level up. Any material printed by Wizard's for player use for 5th edition is available for use, as well as a collection of third-party material I have cultivated. Sessions will be 3 hours with a short break somewhere near the midpoint. Even if you have played or run Curse of Strahd before, I encourage you to apply. This game is LGBTQ+ friendly

Additional details
How to prepare
You will need a discord account, a Forge account, a D&D Beyond account, a decent headset/mic set up, and a quiet place to play. Distractions are highly discouraged. Background noise needs to be minimal to none. You do NOT need a Foundry account, nor do you need to have purchased anything on D&D Beyond Sign up for Forge - https://forge-vtt.com/
What I provide
I have the Foundry game all set up, I have the maps, tokens, handouts, and player aids for the game. I also have set up a D&D Beyond importer in the game to bring your characters from DDB to Foundry. I have purchased most everything on D&D Beyond that you would need to build a character, and you will have access to all of that.
Gameplay details
This campaign features themes of abuse, child abuse, animal abuse, gaslighting, body horror, and isolation. We will NOT be seeing any sexual assault or other harassment of that nature. We will be using several RPG Saftey Tools: X, N, and O cards, Lines and Veils, and Green Plus Great More. All of these tools and themes will be discussed during Session 0.
