About the adventure

In the land of Barovia, the dreaded vampire lord Strahd von Zarovich rules with an iron fist. You and your companions are drawn into his domain, where you must navigate treacherous landscapes, unravel dark mysteries, and face the horrors that lurk in every shadow. Starting from level 1, this campaign will take you through chilling encounters and eerie locales as you strive to uncover the secrets of Barovia, gather powerful allies, and ultimately confront Strahd to break his reign of terror.

What to install and/or sign up: Roll20 - used for rolling dice, accessing character sheets and for combat Discord - used for communicating with each other https://discord.gg/RhxDgFRXYy What equipment needed: Microphone and headphones - for voice communication

What I provide

What I offer in DMing: I use character voices for NPCs (Some better than others), I encourage epic character moments through things like describing actions in detail, flashbacks and dream sequences for cool roleplay opportunities. I enjoy interesting combat where defeating every enemy is not always the solution and while I use the 5e rules I do encourage creative use of the rules in a Rule of Cool fashion. Resources I offer: Content on Roll20 for PC creation including PHB, Monster Manual, Dungeon Masters Guide, Tashas, Xanathar's, Volos and Mordenkainens.
