About the adventure

The Story A raven's call pierces the twilight, reverberating across the mist-laden hills and shadowed woods of Barovia. To a painter, this scene might evoke a haunting beauty—a sun barely piercing the overcast sky, casting the land in muted tones of beige and dark green, where twisted trees encircle isolated hamlets. But for those who dwell here, this bleak landscape is no mere aesthetic; it is the very embodiment of despair. In this mist-shrouded country, hope is a fragile, flickering presence—ever elusive, yet never entirely extinguished. It waits, hidden in the gloom, ready to be either crushed under the weight of darkness or, perhaps, to rise against it. "Curse of Strahd" pulls YOU, a band of strangers from distant worlds, into the heart of Barovia—a land of perpetual twilight and ancient horror. Here, despair is a tangible force, seeping into every corner of the cursed land. As the latest unwilling arrivals, your presence will tip the scales of Barovia's fate. Will you be the ones to heal its wounds, bringing light to its suffocating skies? Or will you do whatever it takes, sacrificing all in your path, to escape this prison and return home? What to Expect As with all TTRPGs, your decisions will impact the world around you. In the case of this adventure, each decision, no matter how small, may end up playing a part in the outcome and survivability of your characters. As a Horror experience, you can expect high tension, anticipation and time sensitive decision making. You will be put on the spot, you will be encouraged to lean into the tension and you will be faced with potentially dark decisions. Because of the nature of this content, it is important to note that players are able to step away at any moment, and safety tools will be highlighted even more so. This adventure is set in a region overshadowed by gloom and melancholy. As such, themes that may occur may be; body horror, mind control/possession, death, kidnapping, gore and paranormal. Please check the content warning section for a greater list. I urge you to consider the previous before joining the game. Real world stress and fear is not the intent, horror games should be thrilling and not something that impacts you negatively. As a DM I believe in RAI (Rules as Intended) over RAW (Rules as Written). I much prefer to create a fun and experimental atmosphere, whilst keeping the game fair for everyone. You can also expect the game to be LGBTQ+ Friendly (both the group AND in-game world), with zero tolerance for bigotry, racism, homophobia, sexism, etc. About Me I'm Euan, a Professional Dungeon Master with seven years of experience. Armed with a Master of Arts Degree in Drama and a wealth of theatrical expertise, I craft immersive, high-roleplay experiences with a Mercer-esque playstyle. Expect fully-voiced NPCs and a world shaped by your actions. With multiple games weekly, I ensure each session maintains a professional standard.

Character creation

Creating your character

Characters will begin at level 1. Characters can be made on the Roll20 OR D&DBeyond (the latter requiring the Beyond20 browser extension to roll). There is also an option to import a character into the game if it's pre-made elsewhere on Roll20. All official material is free to use (with much available on the Charactermancer in Roll20), however, some respected Third-party content will be accepted, such as; Kobold Press, Griffon's Saddlebag, Ghostfire Gaming (Grim Hollow), etc. If in doubt, please ask.

The current party

High Roleplay, spooky adventure. Fully voiced monsters & NPCs. Still plenty of the adventure left. The group have been doing some side content and are now on track with the main 'story' of the game as they search for some of treasures to help defeat Strahd. The game will take place weekly at the same day/time, played on Roll20. Game Length: 3 - 4 hours. Sign ups within a certain threshold of the start time will be brought into the session the following week due to onboarding process. Please check the listing to see if there is a warning. As a rule of thumb, if you join a game within 12 hours of the start time, this will apply.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

A mic to talk is nessecery, and a webcam is recommended, but not required. I will be using a piece of software called Syrinscape to play music and sounds, players wishing to listen will have to download the Syrinscape player (information about this will be posted in the Discord before the game).

What Euan Buddie brings to the table

When you join my game, you're not just stepping into any typical session; you're entering a fully immersive experience tailored to your group's unique preferences. Here's what you can expect: Virtual Tabletop Mastery: I run my games on Roll20, providing official or custom-built maps designed to enhance your adventure. From meticulously crafted dungeons to dynamic cityscapes, each map gives your characters a vivid world to explore. My collection of tokens and assets ensures that every encounter, whether a tense negotiation or a fierce battle, feels vibrant and alive. Comprehensive Digital Tools: I bring my full compendium of Roll20 sourcebooks, offering you seamless access to a wealth of character options, spells, and items. This ensures your character creation process is smooth, and you're never without the resources you need to make impactful choices in the game. Immersive Audio Experience: Sound is a crucial part of my storytelling. Using Syrinscape, I blend ambient sounds, thematic music, and environmental effects to create an atmosphere that pulls you deeper into the world. Whether it’s the eerie silence of a haunted crypt, the bustling noise of a market, or the roar of a dragon’s breath, every scene is brought to life. Dynamic Roleplay and Characterization: As an actor by trade, I excel in roleplay and character immersion, bringing a Mercer-esque approach to DMing. Every NPC you meet is fully voiced and characterised, from the gruff dwarf blacksmith to the sinister lich. My ability to improvise and adapt to your choices ensures that your interactions are meaningful and that your character’s story is always at the forefront. Engaging Combat Encounters: Combat in my games is more than just rolling dice. I design dynamic encounters that challenge your tactical thinking and creativity. Environments interact with your decisions, and enemies adapt to your strategies, creating battles that are as memorable as they are thrilling. And while I respect the rules, I'm not afraid to bend them to create epic moments that make your characters shine. Story-Driven Narrative: My games are about more than just fighting monsters and looting treasure. Every encounter and decision can ripple out to affect the larger story, often in unexpected ways. Your choices drive the narrative forward, making the story uniquely yours. Player-Centric Philosophy: Above all, I am on YOUR side. My goal is to see your character grow and become the hero of their own story. I’m not here to kill your characters, but to challenge and inspire you. I believe in cooperative storytelling, where your input shapes the world as much as my narration does.

Safety

How Euan Buddie creates a safe table

Leading up to the game, a Lines & Veils document link will be sent out to be filled in. There are certain topics that will NOT be used regardless of the outcome (my personal Lines). Session 0 is the first session we have as a group and will contain important information, as well as going over rules/mechanic changes, etc. During the process of the game, Players are free to step away from the computer without a need to explain. We will be using X, N and O cards ( X - Discomfort with current content, N - Content is heading towards a place with discomfort, O - A check in with the group) to ensure that that the game remains fun and thrilling, not traumatising. Post game, we will check in to see how eveyone is feeling and provide an envorment of discussion about the contents and takeaways with room to feedback to me about your experiences.
