This once monthly game is provided to help cover the costs of various subscriptions, purchasing books, and tools that I use while running the free games on the server. Each month, players who sign up for this game will be able to vote on Discord for which game they want to play. For this month, we have the following options. --- A Siege before the Solstice The goal of this adventure is to find three magical artifacts and escape from Castle Ravenloft in a single 4-hour session of D&D. It has been several months now since a band of heroes, with the aid of esteemed vampire hunter Rudolph van Richten, managed to end Strahd’s reign and free Barovia from the Mists of Ravenloft. As Madam Eva fled the land with the other vistani, she imparted onto van Richten a vision of ill omen: that the dark powers were not finished with Strahd and would return him to undeath once again. As the winter solstice approaches, strange happenings have occurred around Barovia: whisps of supernatural mist returning, strange monsters terrorizing the villages, and mysterious disappearances. Fearing these are signs of Eva’s vision coming true, Rudolph van Richten seeks the aid of adventurers to retrieve three artifacts from within Castle Ravenloft (see the “Fortunes of Ravenloft'' section below) which will be necessary for fighting Strahd should his revival come to fruition. What he does not know is that Strahd’s revival is already underway. --- Night of the Drac-O-Lantern Designed for an adventuring party of three to six 4th-level characters, Night of the Drac-o-Lantern is a 5e-compatible adventure that tells the story of a party of adventurers chosen by fate to protect the mysterious city of Hallowreach during the a supernatural event called the Night of the Drac-o-Lantern: the night when the seal that protects the city from twisted creatures of fey and shadow descent is at its weakest --- Any of the Where Evil Lives encounters --- Any of the Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel adventures

Gameplay Safety Tools: X, N, & O Cards During gameplay, X, N, and O Cards will be used for player comfort: X-Card: Stops the game immediately if a topic becomes uncomfortable. Players can signal this verbally, show it on video, or type an "X" in chat. N-Card: Indicates nearing discomfort, prompting a scene pivot or slowdown. An "N" typed in chat or shown on video works. O-Card: Indicates that players are good to continue or escalate intensity, especially useful in combat or suspenseful moments. To ensure privacy, players can also message these signals directly to me. Debriefing Following each session, I’ll lead a debrief to discuss highlights, challenges, and any points that might have felt intense or uncomfortable. This debriefing will help gauge the group’s comfort, gather feedback, and adjust future sessions to enhance everyone’s experience.
