About the adventure

🧾Story Primer: Steel yourselves and venture into the mists as we take to the haunting landscape of Barovia & outwit a vampire warlord in this dark & thrilling fan-favorite adventure. You find yourself in a dark & mysterious realm surrounded by deadly mists and ruled by an overlord known by the locals as The Devil Strahd. How you got here & how to escape Strahd's domain are mysteries you must solve, but thanks to a strange old fortune-teller, the path forward is clearer... and darker than you could have ever imagined. -- 🔥 DM Travis Loyalty Perks 🔥 💵 Session Discount - Deduct your character's proficiency bonus from all session charges (already applied in listing). 🗣️ Discord Role-play - Keep the story going even after a session ends by role-playing with your party members in dedicated role-play channels.

Game style

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

Recruiting notes

Current Party Level: 6 Join this game if you want to experience an amplified Curse of Strahd storyline set in a High Quality animated Foundry environment, with the option to engage in RP between sessions with your party over Discord. Ruleset: 2024 (2014 character options allowed if they have not been replaced by a 2024 equivalent). Vibe: Gothic Horror & Dramatic Fantasy with some light comedy mixed in for brevity. Meme characters will find a better fit at a different table :)
