About the adventure
The setting is Barovia, a gothic horror themed valley. Here there is no black and white, only shades of moral gray. Can you survive the deadly and horrifying land and escape to what lies beyond? Beyond lies lands with varying themes but all brutal and horrifying each in their own way. The mood can be as light or as dark as you see fit, but the going ons of the world will certainly seek to douse your light. Fight to find your way home (or out), and maybe even for the betterment of the denizens of the valley who have been crushed under the foot of the tyrant prince of the land, Count Strahd von Zarovich!

Additional details
How to prepare
A mic is preferred but not necessary. You will need to create characters, but we can work together back and forth between session0 and session1 to get your character fleshed out. Communication is key.
What I provide
I bring a discord with individual chats for private conversations about or pertaining to select characters, a music bot provides ambiance and music, a Roll20 campaign with dynamic lighting, custom tokens, and battle maps. There is a place for Rule of Cool and Rules as Written, but I lean to the latter (although the former has a place within the latter).
Gameplay details
In session 0 there will be an open discussion about potential triggers as well as a collection of potential themes or topics which may act as triggers. The themes and topics discussed will be toned down or rewritten out completely based on the results of the discussion in session 0.

How will character creation work
Character creation will be available during sesison0. All official published content is valid (and more upon vetting and approval by me) Making characters on your own but keeping me in the loop or collaboratively with me. Character sheets will be available on Roll20 in the campaign. Stats method will be voted on in session0.
