About the adventure
Under raging storm clouds, a lone figure stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. The vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stares down a sheer cliff at the village below. A cold, bitter wind spins dead leaves about him, billowing his cape in the darkness. Lightning splits the clouds overhead, casting stark white light across him. Strahd turns to the sky, revealing the angular muscles of his face and hands. He has a look of power—and of madness. His once handsome face is contorted by a tragedy darker than the night itself. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind’s howling increases as Strahd turns his gaze back to the village. Far below, yet not beyond his ken, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd’s face forms a twisted smile as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they have come—all according to his plan. He, the master of Ravenloft, will attend to them. Another lightning flash rips through the darkness, its thunder echoing through the castle’s towers. But Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind—or perhaps a lone wolf—fills the midnight air. The master of Ravenloft is having guests for dinner. And you are invited. I'm looking for 5 seasoned players for this campaign.

Additional details
How to prepare
Free Discord, D&D Beyond and Syrinscape accounts will be necessary. If a potential player does not have a webcam or a way to be seen on Discord, that is fine, but a mic is a must. I would prefer that a potential player has a basic understanding of D&D, but it is not a necessity, as I am all for helping them learn. Character creation will be done during a free session 0 so players and I can all agree and make sure the party is balanced. Characters can be altered up until the first session.
What I provide
D&D Beyond, D&D Beyond Maps, Discord & Syrinscape. The links for Discord, D&D Beyond and Syrinscape will be provided when you receive the booking email. I try to make my sessions as entertaining as possible. I do voices (I'm no Matt Mercer, but I try). I will be using Syrinscape to provide ambiance music during the session. I do a mixture of RAW, RAI and Rule of Cool. But most important, I try to bring the FUN!!
Gameplay details
I have a Monte Cook RPG Consent Checklist that you can download from Discord during our free Session 0. If ANYTHING that you are concerned about is NOT covered on the form, simply bring it to my attention and we will work it out. My players safety and comfort is the utmost importance.
