About the adventure
Count Strahd von Zarovich invites you to the ultimate test of strength, stamina and cunning in a contest of survival across Barovia, the first ever Bat Royale. Strahd has seeded his private collection of magic items and weapons across the valley and offered a grand prize of 50,000 gold, a wish spell, and eternal life to a victor he deems worthy. You will face off teams of NPCs, beasts, traps, an evolving battlefield, and many other unforeseen challenges. Will you enter the Mists and emerge victorious? Think Squid Game, Fortnite, The Hunger Games run by the Lord of Vampires himself. What are his aims? Simple entertainment? Or is there something more sinister brewing in this vicious game of life or death? π¦ Level 3 - 10 adventure π¦ PvP is prohibited unless all players consent π¦ Narrative Battle Royale Campaign π¦ Custom TTRPG Experience
We will be using the 2024 PHB to create characters. This game works best when you create a desperate character. Perhaps you are indebted by coin or favor, a loved one is sick or cursed, unable to be resurrected through conventional means. Whatever the case, the opportunity to enter Barovia is one you dare not pass up, despite the dangers of a deadly competition. It also requires characters who inherently understand, or will grow to realize that they are stronger with a team than without. Classes already chosen: -

What I provide
Directly inspired by the man, the myth, the legend, Brennan Lee Mulligan; I have spent the last 3 years deep-diving into the methods of your favorite celebrity DMs to hone my craft and deliver an experience akin to Dimension 20, or Critical Role! As your DM, I am your character's biggest fan! I want to help you experience the fantasy of your choice. In D&D, I believe that's largely tied to the class you want to play. As you develop your character I'll make offers to integrate you into the campaign and develop something that's right for you and fits the story we are telling. I allow the rules to dictate the game insofar as the constraints of those rules help to tell the story. In other words, rules may be bent, broken, or all together ignored in service of the story. However, in this game we gamble with story! Neither you nor I know what's going to happen in the story we are about to tell. When you roll a die, that roll is sacred. We use unbiased RNG in dramatic moments to decide the fates of characters in the story and we abide by the roll. The gamble must be fair, or the story loses its magic. As a trained actor and improvisor, I use a mixture of first person and third person story telling. I utilize a variety of voices and accents but you are not expected to. I wield a variety of first-party, third-party, and home-brewed 5E content like MCDM's Flee Mortals. I come with a Master Tier subscription to DnDBeyond with access to: PHB 2024 I strive to run a diverse and inclusive table, which means I wholly welcome BIPOC and LGBTQ+ players in my games.

How will character creation work
Character creation begins as soon as an idea pops into your head! I encourage you to DM me about them as soon as you sign up. We will roll/build characters together in session 0. Pre-generated characters are available. In session 0, we will begin to cement your ideas, so that if you wish to build connections with your fellow PCs you still have flexibility. You will start at level 3, you'll want to have your Class and Subclass in mind. Classes and subclasses and spells may be from the new 2024 PHB. Published content* means no Unearthed Arcana.
