A Barovian Nightmare: The Eve of Ruin (CoS/EoR)

A Barovian Nightmare: The Eve of Ruin (CoS/EoR)

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

Enter the mists of Barovia, where shadows dance with malevolent intent and the very air is thick with the whispers of ancient horrors. In this land of perpetual twilight, the grasp of the vampire lord Strahd von Zarovich knows no bounds. Brace yourself for a harrowing journey through cursed lands, where every corner holds a new terror and every ally may bear the mark of betrayal. Will you defy the darkness and challenge the lord of Castle Ravenloft, or become just another lost soul in the ever-growing abyss of Barovia's eternal night? Get ready for an epic journey in the lands of Ravenloft that will first take you from levels 1-9 through the classic adventure module "Curse of Strahd" and lead you on a journey as you battle for the very fate of the Multiverse in "Vecna - Eve of Ruin" from levels 10 all the way to 20. Is your party ready for the horrors that await in the mists of Ravenloft? Will they even make it to saving the Multiverse, or will they sacrifice Eye and Hand just to fail in the face of true horror... It's for you to decide...

How to prepare

You will need to have/bring: -A Microphone and Discord Downloaded -A DNDBeyond and a Roll20 account (They're both free) -Beyond20 Browser extension for Firefox or Chrome (Not necessary but makes stuff easier) -A Webcam (If you would like to use video, but this isn't required) -A Positive Attitude and a BIG Smile :D -Be ready to have one hell of a spooky time!

What I provide

As your GM, I bring a variety of tools to each of my games. Aside from the typical stuff (Roll20, Discord and DNDBeyond), I also really enjoy bringing NPCs to life with different personalities and voices, as well as a constant ambient backtrack to make you really feel immersed in the world. When it comes to rulings, I like to read the table. If the table wants a hardcore RAW experience then we will stick to the rules as they were written, but if the table is looking to kick back and have fun then I'm totally here for it! Rules are only as fun as we at the table make them. Lastly, when you're playing at my table, pack extra smiles and be prepared to HAVE FUN!

Gameplay details

When it comes to player safety and comfort nothing is more important, which is why during every session zero I make sure to ask my players about their limits by doing a quick check in about each players triggers and Xs or Ns, letting them know any content warnings that may be present in the adventure and informing them about my open door, break and debrief policies. Players are also welcome at any time to either take breather or a break from the game, and at no point will they ever be asked to go into detail about ANYTHING they may not be comfortable with. Also, while the game is going on, if at any point a player needs content to stop immediately, they may hold up an X/N or type one in chat. This will allow me to make the necessary moves needed to make sure everyone continues to have a great time playing! Lastly, I am a huge believer in debriefing/aftercare. At the end of each session I will always hang around for anywhere between 15-30 minutes to chat about the session and to just generally hang out with anyone who wants to stick around! This is great for sessions where we may get into some heavier content so we can either discuss it or unpack it if need be! Remember, your comfort and your fun come first!

How will character creation work

We will have a Session Zero where I will be willing to assist you in making a level 1 character using standard array for stats, however you may feel free to make one on your own time and bring it to the table with you. You may use any of the materials from any of the Faerun related sourcebooks as well as any backgrounds from Van Richtens (Tashas, Xanathars, Monsters of the Multiverse) Preferred no races from Spelljammer, Eberron, Exandria or any of MTG Campaign Settings, however I can always be bargained with.
