Curse of Strahd! A Gothic Horror Adventure.(Friendly to all)

How to prepare

- Make a free roll20 account (link for game will be sent prior to session) - Make a free Discord account ( link for server will be sent prior to session, game info will be posted there) - Microphone required (always a good idea to test the connection through the settings in discord prior to the game, we will use push to talk to avoid talking over one another in game and eliminate possible background noise) -A solid internet connection (will make your gaming experience more enjoyable) - A webcam is a bonus but not a requirement. ( sometimes its hard to read the room as a GM if we cant see facial expression cues, but some people don't like to be on camera and that's totally fine.)

What I provide

I own the module on my Pro Roll20 account, it comes with beautifully illustrated color maps, tokens, dynamic lighting, handouts and more! (We will use in game assets for rolling dice using the 5e charactermancer) Supplemental content I also provide through Roll 20 compendium sharing: - Players handbook - Monster Manual - Mordekainen's Tome of Foes - Tome of Beasts (kobold press) - Volo's Guide to Monsters - Xanathars Guide to Everything - Tasha's Cauldron of Everything - Eberron- Rising From The Last War - Explorers Guide To Wildemount - Lost Mine of Phandelver - Tomb of Annihilation - Call of The Netherdeep - Curse of Strahd - Dungeon tiles, tactical maps (Reincarnated) as well as many Gabriel Pickard quick encounter and town/city/hamlet maps, interactive maps - Spell templates, animated spell templates, animated weather effects, Asset packs for dungeon dressings. - Tokens galore for varied character and monster art. - Cze and Peku map collection (Used mostly in my home brew campaign, they are truly stunning maps) - Tom Cartos map collection ( varied and endlessly useful maps, also mostly used in homebrew) -Gabriel pickard maps (many varied maps of the wilds and towns, great for random encounters)

Gameplay details

This module is made by Wizard of the coast and meant to be comfortable for everyone. Yet it is Gothic horror and contains some themes that I would say are rated R. Typical gameplay can be difficult fights against undead foes, roleplaying with gritty and dark NPC's, uncovering mysteries and overcoming hardships. (Some content in this campaign may be uncomfortable for some players, but are highly negotiable. The most important thing for me at my table is that the players have fun and get to cooperatively build a story together that they will remember fondly. Still I feel its good to list some content aspects upfront so a session 0 will when we discuss lines and veils etc. Please don't ever hesitate to send me a private message, a whisper in chat etc. or speak with me in private before or after the game if you would like to keep things discretionary) We will use lines and veils to establish boundaries in session 0 Stars and wishes will be done at the end of each session to help me better steer toward your personal likes and dislikes as players! - A note on play style I typically voice NPC's and love to roleplay, no matter what I will be doing my best at that because its what I enjoy. I prefer if you do too, but if you just want to smash monsters with a sword, grab loot and take a narrator stance when talking about your character I'm cool with that too. My expectations for players is to treat everyone including myself with the same respect they are given and to maintain general decorum and immersion at the virtual "table".

How will character creation work

A session 0 will provide time for choosing classes, races etc. Choices are only restricted to my shared compendium on roll 20 (I have quite a few options and most of the books). Pre made characters brought to the game must use standard array or point buy, all published WoTC content is acceptable.
