Campaign Pitch: ~~~~ You have spent your whole life living among your fellow Barovians and watching them toil away their useless existences unaware they are prisoners in this sunless, rain-drenched world. For each of you there burns inside a certainty, nay a conviction, that this world you live in is itself a prisoner of the Darkness. A Darkness that dwells within Castle Ravenloft in the form of Baron Strahd Von Zarovich. Somehow you know this was once a land full of life, joy, and sunlit valleys; despite no one having any living memory of having seen the Sun. In recent days, you have brought together several people who also feel as you feel that it is time to take steps to depose and destroy Baron Strahd once and for all. Will you find a way to escape the Mists? Is the only way to do so to destroy Strahd? Or is there some other way? You and your fellow adventurers have banded together to find out. ~~~~ You will begin at Level 3. Curse of Strahd Campaigns are usually open to all D&D 5E races, this campaign will be set in a Ravenloft much more akin to Transylvania of our own real world. I am limiting PCs to races which look more human-like. (Humans (Variant or Vistani), Elves (and all elf variants), Tiefling, Genasi, Changeling, Kalashtar, Shifter). Though each of you might have lineages which tie you to those races in appearance (and give you the powers and bonuses) you will still seem mostly human to those around you. We'll create characters in DnDBeyond.com in a private session zero (free). PCs start at level 3. I recommend you have some D&D experience as Ravenloft can be deadly. I am looking for roleplayers who like opportunities to solve difficult situations with alternatives to combat, who love the challenge of exploration mixed with puzzle solving as well as a focus on roleplay and intrigue. (But I don't shy away from a good, descriptive and exciting combat scene!)
This campaign is scheduled for Wednesdays during the day from 02:00pm-5:30pm EST (GMT-4) $25/session

How to prepare
Players should have: Webcam (optional) Microphone An account on Roll20.net (free) An account on DnDBeyond.com (free) Either Chrome or Firefox browser (free) Installation of the Beyond20 Extension (free)(search Google for "beyond20 extension") A gmail email address (for Google Meetup which I use as a backup for Discord) (free) Dice will be used digitally through DnDBeyond so no dice are required. (free) No need for character sheet printouts or anything like that as I will walk you through character creation.
What I provide
I will provide DnD Beyond access to all available races and magic items so that character creation options are wide open. I am a member of several great Patreons and I am a digital artist myself so I have some amazing maps and character tokens and can create custom tokens for you for our first session, following character creation in Session Zero.
Gameplay details
IMPORTANT NOTE: Players who sign up one hour before a game session will be joining the game the following week if you haven't already spoken to me and set up your character before then. Session Zero is handled individually and I will work with you to get you set up to join the group. Then we will have a Session 0.5 to work on getting to know the other players. This campaign is in a Horror Setting so this means that I will be going over a RPG Consent Checklist individually and making sure that I know exactly where peoples Comfort Zones start and End.

How will character creation work
Characters start at Level 3. Standard starting equipment. Max Hit Points. Ability Scores will be Manually Rolled In DnDBeyond. When you sign up we will be conducting an individual, private, and free Session Zero where I will walk you through Character Creation and guide you through your character sheet on DnDBeyond. Everything you need for character creation will be handled during Session Zero. If you have signed up less than an hour before game time you will not be joining us until the following week unless you have a nearly complete character in DnDBeyond which I can approve and verify beforehand. Forcing a session zero for a new player right at the beginning of a session the others are already paying for is not fair to anyone.
