How to prepare
You will need: 1️⃣ A stable internet connection. 2️⃣ A Discord account (free). 3️⃣ D&D Beyond for character sheets. We will link through my account so I can see your character sheet and you will have access to my sourcebooks.
What I provide
1️⃣ Dungeon and Dragons Sourcebooks through D&D Beyond.. 2️⃣ I will have an organised and complete campaign that is responsive to the players interests and character’s goals. 3️⃣ I bring detailed Non-player Characters (NPC’s) and background images to the game to enhance your immersion. 4️⃣ I am available (within reason) for any of your needs and wants!
Gameplay details
Curse of Strahd can be a brutal, stressful, and alienating experience. Your character will be in a dark gothic land quite different from the world they know. The adventure contains several encounters and areas that will likely be far beyond your capabilities when you first encounter them and it does not provide routine or readily-available loot or magical items. As-written this campaign is full of disturbing and graphic content. If you are potentially triggered by elements of child abuse, murder, stalking, gaslighting, torture, mind control, cannibalism, child death, animal cruelty, body horror, child abandonment, or portrayals of alcoholism or drug abuse, please reach out to me about working around or entirely avoiding these elements. This is a Play-by-Post (PBP) adventure and it will take place entirely on Discord. The game can be entirely played using a mobile device, or tablet. The Avrae Bot will connect to your character in D&D Beyond and we will use it to perform rolls and other game actions. You will have 24 hour access to these channels, but the game is asynchronous, meaning people will post when they can within 24 hours. I will check in multiple times a day to move the game forward, but you don't have to be online at the same time. Make your updates on your schedule! Session 0 (done over text in Discord): Before we jump into the module we will cover ground rules, align expectations, character build, and get to know each other.

How will character creation work
We will collaborate as a group to create flushed out characters that have bonds to each other and the module. This will happen over Discord in an out of character channel and then character sheets will be created on D&D Beyond through my campaign link (to be shared when we have a full group). Characters will be level 1 to start unless we are mid-campaign. Come with a loose idea for a couple characters you’d like to play and we can firm it up together.
