About the adventure
The party has been mysteriously drawn to the realm of Barovia which has claimed the lives of every adventurer that came before them. This realm is surrounded by deadly fog that cuts it off from the rest of the world and is filled with dark, dangerous creatures who are ruled over by an evil Vampire Lord. A dark powerful evil by the name of Count Strahd Von Zarovich rules this demiplane from his castle: Ravenloft. He will never stop when he wants something and will use any method to ensure he comes out on top. This campaign is going to be a dark retelling of the classic gothic horror. I will be using very grim and dark themes to increase the stakes and horror of the campaign which will be gone over during session 0 for people to feel comfortable and safe. As for combat I will playing the NPCs and creatures tactically* and faithfully to their character (*that only applies to creatures that can think). As we play you will have a chance to RP with many different NPCs and creatures which will be voiced by me in a variety of different ways and accents. I am also a believer in the rule of cool so if you come up with something fun and interesting that slightly breaks the rules I will more than likely rule in favor of the player. As for how I operate as a GM I find that the most fulfilling thing for me is to write a story and build upon lore and information to give to my players. Also, I prepare for my sessions by working on it tirelessly and rewriting many things to make a custom and fun experience. I like to customize each adventure so that new and veteran players can play a unique campaign that everyone can enjoy. It is also my pleasure to help players develop backstories for their characters at the start or over the course of a campaign, and I'll create custom quests based on these developments. Also upon request, I can homebrew a subclass, Race, or Magic item to help you feel more at place in my world. (Much like getting into a fine tailored suit.)

About me
My name is Kenny and I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons for about 12 years. Although I have only been a dm for 3 years I believe I am capable of running a game that will leave you wishing next week came sooner. My favorite aspect of any game is the lore and the world building. Currently the modules I can offer are: Dungeon of the Mad Mage Curse of Strahd Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden Coming soon to my collection is: Tomb of Annihilation, Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus, and Vecna: Eve of Ruin. I own most if not all of the WotC content and books on D&D beyond which is where most of the character creation will be done. When playing a game of mine combats are going to be high stakes with a threat of death, the roleplay will be fun, and surviving in the land you have found yourselves in will be harsh but rewarding. I am a huge fan of homebrew I have made a few subclasses and personalized magic items for players so don't be afraid to ask about something tailored fit to you. With that said my games will be fun with a good amount of difficulty since I like to play the main bad guys as their true selves for example: I play Strahd like a retired general who uses his extreme intelligence to find an advantage in any fight and I play The Mad Mage like an eccentric if not a little kooky wizard who likes to appear and do random things because it sounds fun and interesting. I hope to see you in a session of mine soon so we can weave a tale together and make a legend happen.
