A Pact with Vol: The Curse of Strahd

A Pact with Vol: The Curse of Strahd

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Under a raging storm cloud He stood, a lone figure silhouetted against ancient walls. A cold, bitter wind spins dead leaves about him, billowing his cape in the darkness. He turns to the sky, revealing the angular muscles of his face and hands. His once handsome face is contorted by a tragedy darker than the night itself. He turns his gaze back to the village. Far below, yet not beyond His ken, he sees you, a party of adventurers, have just entered His domain. His face forms a twisted smile as His dark plan unfolds. He knew you were coming, and He knows why you have come. Why all such parties come - all according to His plan. He has seen you, and what He has seen He has told me.

Recruiting notes

Brave adventurers are still being sought to join this campaign! Will you be swallowed up by the Mist? Will you escape, or remain trapped in Barovia forever? Hello and thanks for popping by. I’m Michael. I run D&D 5e using Foundry and “specialize” in Curse of Strahd which is a published, vampire Gothic horror adventure that I use as a framework onto which to attach custom content. I’ve created an immersive environment using beautiful maps, soundscapes, as well as visual and audio effects including animations. All games are family-friendly, akin to a movie with a "PG-13" rating. Want to kill an entire Orc camp? Not a problem! However, in game play I don't allow discrimination on the basis of religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, family status, genetic characteristics or disability. This is a 2SLGBTQ2+ positive space. Prospective players will meet with me prior to game play. This campaign has not yet begun. There will be one or two meetings with me, Day -1 and Day 0 respectively, in which we will meet and create your characters (at a time of mutual agreement). There is no charge for Day -1 or Day 0.
