Beginner Friendly | Curse of Strahd REBORN | LGBTQ+ 🌈 RP Heavy
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Curse of Strahd is one of the most famous - or infamous - campaigns ever written for Dungeons & Dragons, and whether it is simply due to its unique setting, gripping villain, or gripping history, it manages to reel in players both new and old time and again. D&D has changed since 2016, though, and SO. MUST. STRAHD. Whether you are a new player to the campaign itself, to D&D as a whole, or a veteran of both for many years, you can find something novel and gripping in this dark fantasy tale about vampires, curses, prophecies, and finding the light of hope in the darkest of places. Curse of Strahd REBORN is a campaign designed to bring the vampire lord of Castle Ravenloft and his gothic horror themed land of Barovia into the new era using the experience of countless DMs over the past 8 years and the inclusion of a couple modules of supplementary content, while still remaining faithful to the original spirit, story, and characters of the campaign. This is a roleplay heavy campaign with a minimal focus on combat, and a large emphasis on character, mystery, suspense, relationships, and the themes of horror, pride, and hope. 2024 rules will be tentatively allowed and balanced around appropriately.

What I provide
I have a degree in voice-over performance, so you can expect a large variety of unique, consistent, high quality character voices. Sessions will be held in a private Discord server, a communal session note board will be provided, and I will provide all battle maps, Virtual Tabletop operation, and music during sessions. I lean much more towards "rule of cool" - meaning there's no need to stick to the letter of the law if breaking it tells a better story.
Gameplay details
Session 0 will be used to discuss the concepts of the Lines and Veils system, as well as X and O cards, purposes of the Stars and Wishes, and advise players that a consent checklist will be sent to them to fill out privately. A preliminary session will then be held.

How will character creation work
Character creation will be done before the first session, in a voice call with the DM. These can take 30 minutes - 1 hour. For new players, I'm happy to teach anything and everything needed and walk you through the process. For veterans, this won't be necessary, so your call will likely be a little shorter. From there, once a character sheet is created, we will spend the rest of the time finding a place of origin and backstory for your character. Session 0 will be dedicated to integrating everyone's characters and playing through a small starter adventure to bring everyone into the world of the Curse of Strahd.
