About the adventure
A scream of pain and terror echoes across the Domains of Dread. As a shattered clocktower's hand ticks ever closer to midnight various terrors and dreadlords that stalk these nightmare realms rise to ever more dreadful acts. That of course matters not to you, for you awaken in a strange room, rumbling through the mists surrounded by strangers and with no memory of how you got here aside from a dread feeling of unease and a memory of a scream. The mists of Ravenloft are rising. Overcome your dread or forever be its prisoner! So gather yourself and venture forth in this 1-20 dread adventure in Ravenlofts Domains of Dread.

About me
Hey all! I have been running professional live & online D&D games for the past 9 years now and enjoying my time on Roll20, Foundry, & Live Games! Though only part-time work for me, I found that D&D not only helps support my family and my personal endeavors but also allows me to help people have a great time, whether they are new or old to D&D. I'm a video game designer by trade, 40 and work towards having every-game be a balance between great roleplaying and challenging combat to help make your Character stories be both epic and fun as they should be!

Creating your character
Characters must be prepared before the first session takes place and all art must be approved by myself. A session 0 (Free) will be held for all parties in which each player will put their character together, enquire about specifics, finalize their token selection, and conclude their concepts. I am typically available most hours of the day to discuss character creation (amongst other concerns) via the group's Discord server.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Video is not required but is also permitted. No recording of sessions unless all players at the table agree. All players require a microphone to participate in sessions, preferably one of ample quality. Rules research is not required but encouraged (you will need to know enough to be capable of creating a character). I frequently make myself available to discuss rules and assist with learning, especially with newer classes. You must be able to run Foundry and you must have a browser installed capable of running it. Further a stable internet connection and a device capable of running the VTT. Lastly, Discord will be utilized as the mode of communication both in-game and out.
What CritrollDM brings to the table
I provide all of my players with a fully outfitted adventure module with which to play the campaign on. This includes, but is not limited to; Character Creation Resources & Support (D&DBeyond), High Resolution Visual Resources & Effects, Custom & Interactive Foundry Game Environment UI, Playlists of Immersive Music and Sound, Voice Acting (to the best of my ability), Atmospheric Sound Cues, Adventure Resource Storage and a safe & fun environment to play alongside other geeky ass nerds who love playing Dungeons & Dragons.
