Curse of Strahd: Tatyana's Version [Saturday Early Afternoon]
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
For centuries, the lands of the Barovia have existed under the shadow of the vampire Strahd. Few in the lands remember the times when Barovia was a land of light and hope, and fewer still know how the curse of darkness befell Barovia. Even during the day, thick clouds keep the lands of Barovia plunged into an eternal gloom. But even in the darkness, a spark of hope remains. Ireena Kolyana - daughter of the late Kolyan Indirovich, Burgomaster of Barovia - is amassing a group of brave souls in a desperate attempt to free Barovia from the tyrant that resides within Castle Ravenloft, and she needs your help. Enter the domains of dread for a re-imaging of the classic D&D story Curse of Strahd. Enjoy all of the gothic horror and dark elements of the game with a completely new spin on the history of Barovia and Count Strahd Von Zarovich. The classic characters of the original story have been given new life. Whether you're brand new to the module or have seen it before, this re-telling will offer new twists and a fresh (and far less misogynistic) take for all lovers of the genre to enjoy. Due to the nature of the genre, safety tools will be in effect through the game and all players will be asked to complete a survey about possible triggers and lines and veils. Players will also be expected to adhere to all safety tools during games. Please see the content warnings list for content that may be included (pending player comfort).
We're looking for someone to fill a hole left by a player who needed to exit for personal scheduling reasons. This table currently has a party make up of a fighter, a bard, a wizard/cleric multiclass, and a ranger. The party is level 5 at present and roughly at the halfway point of the game but we can easily incorporate a new character with plenty of time left to join in on the action!

How to prepare
A mic is necessary and a webcam is strongly encouraged in order to provide a more personal experience for all players. Voice and video will utilize Discord. A basic understanding of the D&D 5e rules is required for this game.

Gameplay details
Prior to session zero, all players will be asked to fill out a survey regarding lines and veils. These lines and veils will be given to all players in an anonymously compiled fashion. Players will be expected to adhere to lines and veils. The X card will be available for use in a messaged fashion during games. Players are encouraged to take breaks as needed during games. One 10-15 minute break will be planned approximately halfway through each session, but additional brief breaks can be taken if needed by the group.
