About the adventure
Welcome to Barovia, a land shrouded in eternal mist and despair, where the sun's warmth has long been forgotten. In this dark and haunted domain, the cruel and enigmatic vampire lord, Strahd von Zarovich, reigns supreme. His gaze pierces the hearts of mortals, his power is unrelenting, and his desires shape the fates of all who dare to enter his realm. This campaign offers a rich blend of gothic horror, intrigue, and high-stakes adventure. Players will: - Explore eerie forests, ancient ruins, and the dreaded Castle Ravenloft. - Encounter tormented souls, enigmatic allies, and deadly foes. - Unravel Barovia's cursed secrets and challenge Strahd himself, testing their courage and wits in the face of overwhelming darkness. Themes: Mystery, survival, moral dilemmas, and the fight against overwhelming evil. Tone: Immersive, suspenseful, and character-driven, with opportunities for role-play and personal growth. Prepare for a journey into terror and triumph, where your choices shape the story, and every decision could mean the difference between salvation and eternal doom. Are you brave enough to face the Curse of Strahd?

How to prepare
Mic and stable internet connection is required for discord voice chat. Webcam is allowed but not necessary. Players will need free Roll20, DnDBeyond and Discord accounts (paid accounts not required). A basic knowledge of D&D rules would be great but I am happy to help. Download the Beyond20 chrome/firefox extension - it syncs your rolls in Dndbeyond to Roll20 automatically: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/beyond-20/gnblbpbepfbfmoobegdogkglpbhcjofh
What I provide
We will use Roll20 for our virtual tabletop - this includes battlemaps, world maps, character and NPC tokens, and ambient music. I will be doing character voices to make games as immersive as possible. I embrace the Rule of Cool - the story comes first. Overall my priority is that everyone has a great time.
Gameplay details
We will take 10-minute breaks in the middle of the session, and any other breaks can be called at any time. I am here for any questions and concerns.

How will character creation work
Character creation will be done on Dndbeyond before the first session - I'm here to provide any guidance. We will start at level 3. We will be using the 2024 rules. I will send a link to the campaign so you can create your character. Character Creation Rules (2024 Rules): - Level 3 - Use Standard Array or Point Buy, average HP - Use Encumbrance, Coin encumbrance - No species with "Legacy" tag allowed - All other character options (Class, Subclass, Background, Feats, Spells) from Player's Handbook 2024 only No evil characters allowed - the monsters are evil enough! Only good/neutral characters please.
