About the adventure

🧛‍♂️ Bound by Fate 🔮 In the cursed land of Barovia, where the sun rarely shines and the mists obscure the way forward, a dark presence looms over all. Castle Ravenloft stands tall, an ancient fortress of dread that casts its long shadow over the village below. The people of Barovia live in fear, their lives controlled by a tyrant they dare not name. You and your fellow adventurers have been drawn to this land by forces unknown, your fates intertwined with the dark history of Barovia. The road ahead is fraught with danger—deadly creatures, twisted secrets, and the ever-present threat of the vampire lord who rules these lands with an iron grip. Your journey will test your resolve, your wits, and your very soul. The master of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner, and you are invited. ⚰️ About the Adventure 🕯️ This is Curse of Strahd: Blood of the Land, my own enhanced version of the beloved classic. Using a combination of community additions and my own custom content, this campaign offers a deeper, more challenging, and even more terrifying experience. Prepare to venture into a Barovia that is darker, more complex, and filled with new horrors that will test your courage and resolve like never before. 🏰 Join Us! 🦇 If you’re ready to face the horrors of Barovia and unravel the dark mysteries of Castle Ravenloft, this campaign is for you. Whether you’re new to D&D or a seasoned adventurer, you’ll find a thrilling and atmospheric experience that will test your wits and courage. 🧙‍♂️ About Me ⚔️ Greetings, adventurers!

Additional details

How to prepare

A microphone is essential, a webcam is optional and can be used if the player feels comfortable. Voice chat will be facilitated via Discord on a Private Server, a free Discord account will be required. The game itself will be played using FoundryVTT, help will be provided to those who have not played using Foundry before.

What I provide

I bring my experience and enthusiasm playing and running games, but more technically I will be providing everything needed for a complete VTT experience - Maps, Art, Music etc.

Gameplay details

Whilst there is never truly a 'typical' session, I always do my best to ensure that sessions are as relaxed and as informal as I can - because I find this fosters a much kinder and easy-going environment - where people can be themselves and have some fun. There will be a 15 minute break around the midway point of the session, around 2 hours into the 4 hour session. I pride myself on providing a safe space for anyone at my table, and I try to make sure that I am available as a person and a friend to my players, not just a DM, and any behaviour, language or actions that makes other players feel unsafe, uncomfortable or unwelcome will not be tolerated, and players found to be in breach of this will be removed in the interest of others. If at any point any player is uncomfortable with any of the content or the experience of the game, they are free to make this known to myself and the rest of the group in any way that is comfortable for them without any fear of judgement, then as a group we would discuss this and how to proceed.
