Escape from Barovia: Curse of Strahd (Beginner & 🏳‍🌈 friendly)

About the adventure

Immerse yourself into the gloomy land of Barovia, where you will find yourself part of the story, because Strahd von Zarovich wants it that way. You and your fellow adventurers will come together and fight the vampire lord with things he doesn't understand: found family, friendship, and love. You don't need to know anything about Foundry or even D&D to play this game. You get a free out-of-game session 0 to create your character, go over the rules, learn how to use the virtual tabletop, and answer any questions you might have. And remember: all questions are valid when you don't know the answer. We use FoundryVTT for maps and Discord for voice. Message me to get started! In this campaign, you will: **Learn to rely on your teammates. This is vital in a place where a single mistake can have grave consequences, and where your only solace may be a kind word or a genuine laugh from your companions. Life here is grim, but that doesn’t mean you have to be. **Visit an amazing gothic castle! There are secret doors, secret passages, hidden traps, and amazing treasures. (And vampires, but with enough cleverness, you may be able to avoid those. Maybe. Probably not.) **Immerse yourself in the rich history and lore of the strange, bleak land of Barovia. Learn how the curse upon this land came to be, and use your skills to find a way to break it. **Test your characters’ abilities and lean into your backstories, because Strahd will surely attempt to use those things against you. **Play chess with Count Strahd von Zarovich in a game where you are sometimes the pawns! In this campaign, I focus on the things that make horror fun. Not bloodbaths or jumpscares, but the sinister, creepy atmosphere and the discomfort of not knowing what lurks in the darkness just beyond the reach of your torch light. Something is out there…waiting for you. Free Session Zero to go over character creation and the encyclopedia of rules, guidelines, and changes that is geared not to overwhelm, but to ensure that fun is had by all participants.
