About the adventure
***Looking for one or two more players!*** We're at the perfect place to bring in a new player or two without any real catching up! 🪑 4 of 6 seats filled 💪Current Party Level: 8 📘 2015 D&D Rules 📅 Monday's 7:00pm - 10:00pm PDT 🧛 Ravenloft Setting The party currently consists of: Hexcloud the Paladin Vykril the Bard Fizzlebum the Wizard Tealeaf the Figher Torvalt the Rogue (NPC'd by DM, available to be taken over, may not remain long) The party has been through a lot. Spirited away from the Forgotten Realms of Toril, they have faced zombies, a powerful mummy's machinations, and survived the scheming of a Dark Lord's daughter while disrupting the creation of another domain of dread. Now the group is more than ready to leave Kartakass behind them and continue their hunt for the vampire who may or may not hold the secret to their escape from these domains of dread. All while they appear to be pawns of prophecy and targets for corruption by the very dark powers that pulled them into these lands. Will you be swept up by the Dark Powers and become their tool, will you become a victim of the mista, or the catalyst that helps disrupt the plots in motion? This is Ravenloft, and these recent trials have helped the party, while leaving their marks on the individuals. Rare are those who stay long in Ravenloft without bearing scars and the group has been here long enough indeed. This is a roleplay driven Ravenloft campaign using a mix of Van Richten's Guide (mechanics mostly), personal touch, and older 2nd Edition campaign setting elements (the rest of the setting). Combat happens, but we've had more than a few sessions that were pure RP or investigation. You'll be an adventurer who has been pulled into Ravenloft from the Realms for some past sin, some past regret, seemingly to aid the Demiplane of Dread for some dark purpose. Will you redeem yourself here? Or perhaps you'll give in to temptation and fall farther? Or maybe you'll be used and discarded, like a vampire's desiccated victim... 💀 A Campaign of Horror 🦇🌒 Explore Ravenloft 📖 Bring in that back story! 🏳️🌈⚧️ Inclusive GM 👶 New Player Friendly 🎶 Curated playlist of music and ambience for those who want it. 👨🏫 Learn the Fantasy Grounds VTT
🕖 Games will be held Mondays at 7:00pm Pacific Standard Time. 📚 Player's Handbook, Xanathar's Guide, and Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide are permitted. This does not forbid other sources but they must be discussed. I'll give more credence to Van Richten's Guide, but that will still need discussion as the original premise was that player's were taken from the Realms. 💪 Current Party Level: 8 📖 Roleplay heavy campaign. ⚔️ We will be using the Fantasy Grounds VTT, player's simply need a PC and the demo, which can be acquired on Steam or at FantasyGrounds.com Might be moving to Alchemy RPG in the future.

How to prepare
🎤 Please have a working microphone. 🎧 Some kind of headset or headphones, speakers will produce echo that can be jarring. 🎥 Web Camera's are NOT required, I know a lot of people don't like showing their faces online and I will not force that, but if you're find with it, then do so. I try to have mine revealed for ease of role playing. 📚 I love to teach RPG's but this game will run more smoothly the more you know how to play. So if you're new, let me know, and maybe check out this playlist before we game: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYCDCUfG0xJb7_kQ-36QCzhKg1eUvr0zL 🖥️ Have a PC or Laptop, and download the Fantasy Grounds demo. Be sure to run it and update it before game. Fantasy Grounds doesn't run on tablets. I believe it is set to work with Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Made sure to add me on Discord: 1madcatter Get the demo here: www.fantasygrounds.com Or here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1196310/Fantasy_Grounds_Unity/ Once more, I use Discord for my voice/video chat when playing on Fantasy Grounds: 1madcatter

How will character creation work
Characters may attempt to roll stats at 4d6 subtract the lowest, do this six times, if your stats suck, you can use point buy or standard array. If you want to attempt a second set with dice rolling, you may, but the condition is that the stats are distributed in order rolled. My one mercy, in this case, is that you will be able to swap 1 stat with any other 1 stat. So, if your array sees you with stats that would benefit a fighter, but your STR was 9 and your INT was 18, you can swap those two. 📚 Permitted Books (from the start): * Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide * Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft * Xanathar's Guide to Everything * Other sources are available on a case by case basis. Rule of thumb: if it's in another setting book, probably best look for something else. By all means, work on a few concepts for the game, but the intention is for character creation to be a group effort during session 0, so try to do what you can to be open to character creation as a group effort instead of getting set on an idea from the start.
