Curse of Strahd | Jane Raw's Twisted Edition

About the adventure

Do you want to experience Curse of Strahd in a way that allows you to focus on the storytelling? What is Curse of Strahd? Curse of Strahd is one of the most famous pre-written D&D adventures of all time and it is nearly as old as the game itself! Curse of Strahd is a long campaign with a clear goal: Escape the secluded valley of Barovia by defeating the vampire lord Strahd von Zarovich. I have made some tweaks to the story to make it more player-driven and compelling. I have run the full campaign to four different groups before, all enjoying it. The story has so many layers and I will weave your backstory into it to give it a personal touch for you. What to expect? CoS is a long gothic horror campaign, with a dark atmosphere. Death, undead, vampires, blood & gore, loss, sorrow, sadness, oppression, cruelty, hopelessness, sadism and lack of light should be expected. However, there is something beautiful and romantic in the story, something that makes this the greatest adventure of all time. What is Play by Post (PbP)? Play by Post gives you the chance to decide when you want to play and the freedom to think for your next move. You can be as elaborate as you desire, not having to worry if you are taking too long. I write you a message and then you reply when it suits you. How often do we play? I will send you a post twice a day from Monday to Friday (1 post on Fridays). You can reply whenever you are free to do so. If you have not replied to my post, I will not be posting and I will not be disturbing you: We will move at your pace. How does the billing work? You will be billed once a week and that is the price of a session. How does the game look in practice? I will write you a message in a Discord server, describing what is happening in the game. You then react to that and tell what your character would do. If dice rolling is needed, we will do that in D&D Beyond. How is combat handled? The emphasis is in role-playing and storytelling. You don't have to be rolling every single attack and damage roll during the encounters. Combat could look like this: 1. I tell what the enemy is trying to do and roll dice. 2. The player tells what they want to do and rolls dice. 3. I resolve the combat outcome. Am I completely alone? By default, as a player, yes. You can also request to have a game with friends and we'll make it happen. Regardless, the story has many NPCs to interact with and to befriend to aid you during your journey. This game suits you if you want to experience Curse of Strahd with the focus on the story.
