About the adventure
This is Curse of Strahd but with my own custom plot line that i feel gives it more purpose than "you are the heroes, defeat the bad guy" basically.
Additional details
How to prepare
Besides anything already mentioned you will need a Dndbeyond account, a discord account, google chrome or something else that can run BeyondVTT, a internet connection of some sort and a good enough mic as well as making sure you can be heard clearly through it. If you have any other questions please wait to ask them when the game has at least 5 players ready to go sense there is no telling how long that may take at times or if it will happen and if we don't get 6 players this may not happen at all, if we get 5 and a 6th isn't seeming likely we can vote on it than.
What I provide
We will be using DndBeyond and BeyondVTT which is a google chrome extention VTT connected to DndBeyond and i will share my dnd beyond content with you for you to be able to build your characters from what i own on DndBeyond. The way intend to GM is going with the flow essentually, i will be letting the party do what they want for the most part perfering imagination to hard rules and logic but we will still be following the rules just in a more rule of cool style is all. -I don't care for the "don't split the party" montra so long as you don't go trying to solo sneak through the evil guys hideout or something and this means you can do stuff on your own or split the group in the session and not get punished for it. -I'll be doing voices, try to add music through discord and do what i can to make the game fun as i can.
Gameplay details
-Any Player may call a 5-10 minute break if need be around 2 times per session to keep the game moving. -If you have any stars or wishes those can be expressed in the discord or after the game as we wrap things up. -Please be able to speak almost perfect understandable english. -This is a 18+ game because the themes and events in this module are not suitable for childern. -New players will not be excluded but please understand how to play and how to use discord and VTTs -I am a new DM but not a new player nor am i the most knowledgeable player either so you may need to bare with me as i figure things out along the way. -We are playing a fictional fantasy imagination game and are doing so i hope to have fun so please keep real world issues/topics out of the game for the most part. Something else to add is that i am not going to exclude anyone based on their personal life choices but i also am not going to censor myself or tell others to censor themselves to appease anyone either, just please be respectful enough. -I reserve the right to kick anyone for any reason but will do what i can when circumstances are not black and white to try and resolve issues that may occur so we all can have a good time and play some Dnd. -Attendance to me is important but i understand we all have things in life we can't avoid doing so first please make sure the time i set the game at is a time you have open on a constant basis. -I possibly will be recording the discord calls for recap and secruity reasons. -Please keep meta gaming to a minimum, there will be in game punishments for meta gaming. By joining this game you essentually agree to these conditions and my terms for DMing this game and thus wave your right to take issue with me enforcing any of these rules.

How will character creation work
You'll be making your characters before the game via dndbeyond AFTER we get a full listing of players and i creation sessions. -Build 2 characters in case sense dying is possible in this game -Starting Level will be 2 -The campaign will go from levels 2-20 or whenever you feel up to the task to finish the fight. -Stats can happen 1 of 3 ways; #1: Point Buy #2: You can roll for stats in session 1 publically so we call can see them. (for build your character before the game purposes just use point buy and you can sub in your session one rolls later but if you lock in to rolling session 1 you keep the rolls for your first character at least) #3: I'll roll myself 6 sets of stats of which will be first come first serve choosing 1-6 and the benefit of that will be there will not be a single stat lower than 12 BUT you could get all 12s OR a max stat set if your lucky (and no you can't trade your stats for anyone elses if more than one of your make this choice) -When making your character do not assign them a alignment, for any ability that state you choose good or evil for necrotic or radiant damage your free to use either until i assign you a alignment based on your actions in game. -When it comes to a backstory because many have issues with them instead everyone can give me for your character: -3 Strengths (what are they good at) -3 Weakness (this is not a job interview, provide actual weaknesses) If you have issues coming up with weaknesses or strengths dnd provides the solution in the form of skills to choose from, just think about what you believe your character is good at and bad at on the skill list if you can't think of something and for anyone who thinks outside the box without being meta or to on the nose think of what mercenary like skills would be helpful that aren't just written in the dnd handbook. -5 activities your character did before being a mercenary (example: They did farm work or they know how to knit) -2 things your character knows how to do. (Example: Good at climbing / not a example: Good at fighting, every dnd character is at least partly good at fighting unless you play a joke character so this means nothing) If you require help with this part message me anything you can imagine your character doing before being getting the the campaigns point and i'll give some suggestions and if you do have issues with the first character just do a basic build of the second and we can cross the bridge for them if it comes to that.
