About the adventure

Beyond the reach of human perception, lurking just beneath the fabric of the world, lies a dark and hidden realm. It seeps into your existence, filling the chasms that separate worlds. Here, at the threshold between the domains of the living and the departed, consciousness and substance intertwine; emotions and desires, dread and longing can become as solid as steel. Deep within those spectral spaces, a shadowy realm lurks, governed by unseen, sinister forces. Some whisper it is a prison for the cursed; others believe it serves as a trial for the righteous. Yet, for some, it is simply a place they call home. It is a domain of fog and darkness, love intertwined with death, sacrifice mingled with seduction, beauty shadowed by terror. It is a realm where whispered fears take form. Perhaps you have felt its presence. At the command of the Dark Powers, the tendrils of the ethereal Mists that envelop this land extend to brush against the Material Plane. They send shivers down your neck when a creaking floorboard hints that you are not alone in the room. Their unseen touch slithers along your spine when otherworldly shapes flit at the periphery of your sight. The Mists do more than merely touch. The Dark Powers are drawn to purity and malevolence, to hatred and longing, to obsession and despair. They hunt for lost aspirations and inner demons, relishing the decay of the soul. Their Mists ensnare the damned at the moment of their downfall and creep upon heroes when they let their guards down. What purpose do the Dark Powers have in adding these benighted souls to their collection? To torment them? To redeem them? No one knows, for few who are lured into the Domains of Dread return to share their stories. Yet perhaps you will discover the truth for yourself, for tonight, the Mists have come for you… Embark on an eerie campaign that will take you from levels 1 to 20, traversing the sinister landscapes of Falkovnia, where the specters of the past roam amidst the armies of it's despotic ruler. Delve into the haunting tales of Richemulot and Tepest, where the shadow fey weave their dark enchantments and the cries of banshees pierce the night. Explore the unsettling realm of Bluetspur, in a tale of cosmic horror. Sail the dark waters of the Sea of Sorrows, haunted by ghostly pirates. Confront the undead menace in Darkon, and finally, journey to Sri Raja, where twisted phantasms and malevolent demons wish to claim your very soul.

Recruiting notes

This game is open to all levels of experience and I will accommodate all who join. Those of you in the Pacific and Mountain time zones, and those of you who work and live late in the Central and East time zones, this time slot is for you! Your characters can use either "standard" 5th edition or One D&D for your characters. Both I and Roll20 accommodate both in any game. We will discuss this more in session 0. This campaign will use a combination of existing published Dungeons and Dragons materials from the Ravenloft setting, as well as my own creations and other fan made creations from the DMs Guild to create a connected story that will take you all the way to level 20.

What I provide

I will have Roll20 ready with maps, artwork, handouts, and full ambient music as well as all necessary compendiums. I will also have legal use PDFs available for any players who need them.

Gameplay details

I have a Google form I will send you once you sign up that will very thoroughly go through lines and veils. I also use digital and/or messaged and/or held up on video X, N, & 0 cards. I am also available after each session for aftercare, as needed. At session 0 we will go over lines and veils that were filled out ahead of time (anonymously) so player expectations can be set.

How will character creation work

We will discuss characters at session 0. There is no charge for this introductory session. If you prefer to create ahead of time, prepare 2 or 3 characters of different types so we can ensure a good balance of characters in the group. You can create in Roll20 or offline, and you can make your own or use a premade.
