Ravenloft: Curse of Strahd (3 Hours)
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Barovia is wrought with peril: legions of undead, twisted monstrosities, ancient evils, and danger hidden in plain sight. Do you have what it takes to survive these waves of assault and constant dread? Is it possible to bring redemption and salvation to this land, or will you betray your own morals just to find escape? Can you survive and come out on top? Only the fates know, but time will tell... Ravenloft is based on classic horror, and there are many heavy themes that can be uncomfortable to confront in a game. I strive to make a safe place for play, while also bringing respect to the style of gothic horror storytelling. I would recommend coming into this game prepared to confront themes and imagery that most people find uncomfortable. That being said, we will still maintain lines and veils for some content, which can be discussed at session 0, or at any time via private messaging.
Ongoing campaign that meets every week at the same time for 3 hours. Party is currently: Level 7 Human Sorceror Half-Elf Cleric Aasimar Paladin/ Warlock

Killian does an absolutely fantastic job as a DM. He is constantly looking to add things to bring more immersion or fun to the sessions, will work with you on just about anything you want to do, and has even come up with some great ideas to help support me doing things I didn't think were possible. He is very open to feedback and is a great partner in this collaborative storytelling experience.

Killian is a seasoned dm who flourishes in story telling, his table is safe and inclusive and great for beginners. He on multiple occasions has walked players through things we are unsure of- he’s creative and a very capable dm!
Additional details
How to prepare
Players will need a Chrome based web-browser (Chrome or firefox) to access Foundry, and a computer or laptop (Mouse highly recommended) with a discord account. I also ask that players watch a tutorial on the basic functions of Foundry before the session so that the interface is accessible to you. It is a little intimidating at first, but Foundry is easily my favorite VTT for its breadth of customization and features. Otherwise, just a willing attitude to participate in the story!
What I provide
I have a hosted server for our foundry game to ensure better connection for players, Access to all official content as well a a breadth of other books and content creators to add depth and customization to our games. Finally, I bring 20+ years of experience as a player and DM to help facilitate play, exploring possible options for character builds to help ensure that our story is being told the best way possible.
Gameplay details
I maintain an open door policy in regards to hearing out concerns and worries about content, and will do everything in my power to respect those wishes for the best interest of the party. Lines and veils can be established to help facilitate sensitive topics, and players are welcome to take breaks whenever needed if things do become too intense.

How will character creation work
Characters will be made and levelled up via Dndbeyond's character creation tools, with compendium content provided by me. I will import sheets into foundry each week at the beginning of the session to keep sheets up to date. I am open to tweaks and changes being made to the characters to better fit the feeling or function of your character as we play. making aa character can be confusing, and a misinformed decision shouldn't be the reason to stop playing, so feel free to ask about any changes to your character and I will almost certainly approve it.
