About the adventure
Under raging storm clouds, Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires and the wind howls as he turns his gaze down towards the village of Barovia. Far below, yet not beyond his keen eyesight, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they came -- all according to his plan... Explore the gritty, bleak land of Barovia in this classic D&D adventure! When joining the game, you can expect the following: * Immersive and deep roleplay that interacts with the world of Barovia and its residents. * Thrilling, theater-of-the-mind combat against the creatures of the night. * A sandbox-style world that changes with each action made by the players. * Inclusive to new players, both to D&D 5e and Play-by-Post games. All are welcome!

About me
Hello! I'm Lyre, and I love roleplaying. I've been playing Dungeons and Dragons for about four years, and DMing for three. My games tend to feature heavy roleplay and allow players to drive their own stories, a strong story, and theater-of-the-mind combat where the Rule of Cool tends to outweigh a heavy focus on mechanics. To me, TTRPGs are all about creating great characters and telling awesome stories, and that's what I try to help facilitate in all of my games!

Creating your character
A Session Zero will be held for each player to go over character creation. Players will create level one characters using either standard array or point buy, and most sourcebooks will be allowed.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Discord and D&D Beyond accounts will be required, which are both free. The Discord server for the campaign will be sent to players upon sign-up. The Discord server will have guides on how the campaign will work, including a document with homebrew rules, allowed sourcebooks, and character creation.
What Lyre brings to the table
* An engaging and immersive story * Rich descriptions and visual aids over the course of the game * A story tailored to character backstories, allowing players to make permanent marks on the world around them

How Lyre creates a safe table
Players will be offered a one-on-one Session Zero where we will go over character creation and any other player concerns. I have an open door policy and encourage players to private message me with any and all concerns they may have during the course of the game.
