Curse of Strahd: Reloaded |Expanded Adventure | Session 0 Free!
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
This will be a Curse of Strahd game, using the module "Curse of Strahd: Reloaded" which adds a ton of new content, and fills out much more of the base addition itself! Full of the usual gothic horror, intense mystery, and puzzles, this adventure will be one to write home about! Your characters will find themselves in the land of Barovia, a misty and haunted land filled with undead, horror, and strife. How will your characters choose to escape? Find arcane secrets? Old Spells? Or take the fight to Strahd himself and work to save the village from the terror of the Count?! If you are new to DnD, this module will be challenging, but I am happy to accomodate newbies as well as seasoned veterans. This will be a bi-weekly game, every other Monday afternoon.
This is going to be a bi weekly session going forward, and if demand increases, I can reschedule for a weekly session down the line.
Additional details
How to prepare
You will need a Mic. I do not mind so much about cameras. I will try to have one for between sessions and during Session 0, however, during the game I will usually turn mine off to keep the focus on the VTT.
What I provide
My style focuses on creative input from my players. As a DM I love letting the rules take a backseat (within reason) to ensure that my players are not limited by the system. The game of DnD is a framework that phenomenal stories can develop out of and should be adhered to for the sake of balance, but I never let the truth get in the way of a good story! In terms of my Roleplay style, I generally prefer an immersive and enjoyable experience, creating characters with voices, mannerisms, and of course personalities to thrill my players at every turn!
Gameplay details
We will have a safety period during our Session 0 to make sure the content is acceptable and approachable by all members of the table. This will also address concerns about what to do if/when a trigger or safety tool is used. I will send a link to my Consent Document, which will contain a small form to fill out regarding triggers or potentially triggering material. Aftercare (if needed) will consist of a very short cooldown after the session to make sure everyone is alright, and briefly chat in a non-judgemental way about the session, and anything that may or may not have caused any concern, or panic. Finally, I have no intention of triggering my players. Of course the best horrors, mysteries and settings can toe the line, and draw discomfort, but it can be tasteful enough that everyone experiences a rollercoaster of emotions without actually being afraid, and allowing for suitable detachment.

How will character creation work
Character Creation will be at level 1. It will be handled in Session 0. However, if you have a character you would love to play, or one you've always wanted, we can have a look and see if it fits! If it's not 100% lore-friendly we can simply make some changes to ensure it fits in our world of Barovia, but also is still something you would want to play. Stats will be decided via rolling, either on Discord, or on Roll 20 if you so wish. The characters will be created on DnD Beyond, mainly so I can help with creation and add custom items if need be. Specific Story books are no concern, any main "Core" DnD content and it's follow on content is fine, we can always talk about it in Session 0.
