About the adventure

"Embark on a chilling journey through the mist-shrouded realm of Barovia, where darkness reigns and the vampire lord Strahd von Zarovich holds dominion. Explore haunted castles, confront ancient evils, and forge alliances with fellow adventurers in a desperate bid to break free from the clutches of the ancient vampire. In this gothic horror tale, your choices will shape your fate as you battle against the darkness that threatens to consume everything." This is one of my favorite settings to run. In this gothic horror adventure, you can expect: -An adventure that takes you from level 1 to level 10 -Open ending & character driven sandbox -Vast places to explore and detailed maps -Undead creatures that takes myriad shapes and form -Diverse NPC

Additional details

How to prepare

The players need to create their free Roll20 account and free discord account. Since the game will be held over discord voiceroom and Roll20. It is new player friendly and I'll be more than happy to help you navigate through Roll20 and the ruling as well. Pre-generated characters will be provided as well if you choose to pick up the characters and play right away.

What I provide

I will be providing the Curse of Strahd experience with official module from Roll20 as well as custom third party supplements as a visual treat. Music and ambient sounds are included to enhance the experience.

Gameplay details

Before session 0, I'll be handing out google document link to highlight the details of Lines and Veils. Usage of X, N, & O cards could be used through chat, DM-ing me directly through discord or Roll20, and could be used by verbally announcing the cards. We will also have 10-15 minutes breaks during the session. Post-session I'll go over the Stars and Wishes to see how the players are doing and collecting some feedbacks as well.

How will character creation work

The character creations will be held during session 0 inside Roll20 room and private discord voice room. We will be using 27 Point Buy system to create your character. Any official sources from Wizard of the Coast are allowed and if you have any home-brew or Unearthed Arcana that you would love to test out I'll be open to it but please make sure to check in with me first. After all the technicalities are done, I'll be encouraging you to create your own backstory. What drives your character and their reason for adventuring?
