About the adventure

"I AM THE ANCIENT. I AM THE LAND ... I AM NOT DEAD. NOR AM I ALIVE. I AM UNDEAD, FOREVER." Descend into the macabre realm of Barovia in Curse of Strahd, where Gothic horror reigns supreme. As brave souls like yourself, you'll navigate treacherous landscapes and uncover the chilling secrets that lie within the mist-shrouded domain. Prepare to confront the sinister machinations of Strahd von Zarovich, the vampire lord who holds the land in his thrall, and discover if you have the courage to defy the darkness and emerge victorious. 🌑 Immerse yourself in the chilling atmosphere of Gothic horror as you traverse the haunted landscapes of Barovia. 🦇 Confront the enigmatic Strahd von Zarovich in his foreboding fortress, Castle Ravenloft, and unravel the mysteries that surround him. ⚔️ Engage in tense battles against terrifying creatures and undead monstrosities that lurk in the shadows. 🕯️ Unearth the tragic history of Barovia and its cursed inhabitants as you delve into the depths of darkness. 🗝️ Navigate deadly traps and cunning adversaries with your fellow adventurers as you strive to survive the perils of the land. 🌹 Forge bonds of camaraderie and solidarity as you stand against the encroaching darkness, united in your quest for redemption. Prepare to be ensnared in the chilling embrace of Gothic horror as you journey into the cursed realm of Barovia with Curse of Strahd. Here, amidst the swirling mists and shadowed forests, ancient evils stir, and the echoes of long-forgotten tragedies reverberate through the land. As you navigate the treacherous paths and haunted ruins, you'll encounter the spectral specters of the past and bear witness to the relentless tyranny of Strahd von Zarovich, the enigmatic lord of the realm. With every step, the oppressive weight of darkness presses down upon you, testing your resolve and challenging your courage. Will you succumb to the terrors that lurk in the shadows, or will you rise to defy the darkness and become the beacon of hope that Barovia so desperately needs? The choice is yours, brave adventurer.

How will character creation work

Character creation will take place as part of Session 0 (or a one-to-one character creation before your first session if joining later in the campaign) so there’s no pressure to know how to create a character beforehand! And if you like, there are ✨pre-made characters available✨ for you to use if you don't want to have to worry about character creation. Characters will start at level 1 with character options shared with you via D&D Beyond. Stats will be generated via either the standard array or by rolling for them with the group.
