About the adventure

❗❗ USING D&D 5e 2024 RULE SET ❗❗ ■■■ YOUR NIGHTMARE IN BAROVIA ■■■ Join an immersive, highly produced Rated-R horror campaign! -> Venture through breathtaking 3d-rendered scenes of a nightmarish land. -> Engage in theatrical dialogue with beautifully illustrated, fully voiced acted NPC's. -> Enjoy a curated ambience, setting the mood of each session with painstaking detail. -> Face thrilling enemy challenges against personally crafted statistics and abilities! -> Experience a heart pounding adventure bringing your character from levels 1 to 12. ■■■ She is the Ancient, She is the Land ■■■ This gender bent telling of a classic D&D story does away from problematic themes and tropes that take away from otherwise providing you with a quintessential horror experience.

Through your character's actions you rise and uncover the means to become the beacon of hope the land so desperately needs. ■■■ YOU BEGIN YOUR STORY HERE ■■■ You received a strange letter begging for aid. An obscuring mist was soon upon your travels. And you became lost. Now, you’re in a gloomy land, fraught with lurking monsters and hazy visions. The letter was a lie. Something, or someone wanted you here. --- --- --- 👀 Here's an example of a Full Session by me! 👀 [PART ONE] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pouHET3GX_4&t=1s [PART TWO] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rGOT8aNIBE 🔧 Campaign Tools and Premium Assets 🔧 This campaign uses 3d rendered artworks drawn from the works of Beneos Battlemaps, Jules&Ben's Animated Assets, Dynamic Dungeons and many more!

I had an amazing Blade Runner campaign with Lou. Fantastic atmosphere, interesting story and he is great at voice and invoking the spirit of the world. Highly recommended!

Most atmospheric GM I've played with. He does a great job of setting the tone and adding to the roleplay element of the game. He is extremely skilled at his use of foundry/vtt which helped streamline the game, especially for newer players such as myself. I would highly recommend Lou to everyone beginner or veteran alike.

Lou is a fantastic GM. He took time to introduce me to the campaign, and was passionate about integrating my character to his world.

"As a little note though I've gone through roughly 5 storytellers for VTM and Lou is above and beyond the best Ive had, the music, visuals, storytelling, rolls and game play are just amazing"
