About the adventure

Beyond the veil of reality lies Barovia, a land shrouded in eternal fog and haunted by an ancient evil. The villagers cower under the oppressive reign of Count Strahd von Zarovich, a vampire lord whose dark influence seeps into every corner of this cursed domain. Only the bravest souls dare to step into the mists, their fates uncertain, but the hope of breaking Barovia’s curse driving them forward. - **Perfect for Beginners:** No prior experience is needed! I’ll guide you through everything, from character creation to mastering the rules. - **Play-by-Post Format:** No need to worry about finding time for long sessions. Play at your convenience, posting whenever it suits you. - **Immersive Storytelling:** Experience a rich, detailed world where your choices matter. - **Custom Maps, Sheets, and Resources Provided:** All the tools you need to jump right into the adventure. As a play-by-post game, the game will be available 24/7 on Discord, where you can log in at any time to roleplay, take actions, and read what the other players are up to, with an In Character channel, Out of Character Channel, and lots of help along the way from an experienced Dungeon Master. For the best experience of all players, I ask that you make a commitment to checking into the game at least once a day. This campaign is a journey of survival, exploration, and darkness, where choices are dire, alliances fragile, and hope fleeting. Will you conquer the darkness—or will it consume you? Join us and find out—one post at a time!

Character creation

Creating your character

As stated above, I'm happy to walk people through character creation on D&D Beyond. I'm open to using the One D&D (2024) or Legacy options and working with you to make your character original including homebrewing and reskinning content

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You will need a free Discord account and a free D&D Beyond account.

What apheline brings to the table

I offer a DNDBeyond for character creation with the latest (2024) rules. I am happy to work with you to create a character that you are happy with. If you have a concept I love reskinning and homebrewing to make that concept come to life for you. I also provide a Discord server. We use Avrae dice bot and Tupperbox for immersion. I am happy to walk anyone through the use of any of these tools. We are here to focus on the fun, not the crunch :)

Equipment needed to play

Internet

Safety

How apheline creates a safe table

A lines and veils document will be shared with players where they can anonymously check off anything they'd like to avoid/gloss over. There will also be a Session 0 where we can talk about everyone's wishes for their characters so that I can make sure to include those things in the game. This is a dark horror game at its core and the underdark has a lot of horrific lore. So it will be very important for players to respect the boundaries set in our lines & veils document in this game.
