Curse of Strahd: HONOR MODE - Free 1st Session

About the adventure

Game Hosted on FoundryVTT. 🔰What is 'Honor Mode'?🔰 I use it to refer to the hardest difficulty in Baldur's Gate 3. The story is the same but enemies are tougher, and bosses have new abilities. That's what you'll get here; a Curse of Strahd campaign for players who like a challenge. Unlike BG3's Honor Mode though, if your character does die it's not game over, you can always make a new one and continue on with the party. And make no mistake, just because this campaign will feature intense combat doesn't mean it will lack depth on the RP side of the game. 🔰Why join this campaign?🔰 Maybe you've played the campaign before and want a new experience, maybe you're trying it for the first time but want to feel the tension of combat where character death is a true possibility. You should join this game if you want to have combats as tense and memorable as some of the great RP moments this campaign has to offer 🔰Campaign Features🔰 📅 Weekly sessions spanning levels 2-10 🎭 Deep Roleplay, where your choices shape your relationships with the land, its inhabitants and Strahd himself 💀True dread and horror, challenging your characters to overcome overwhelming odds and rise to their heroic potential 🧭Difficult moral dilemmas for your characters to wrestle with ⚔️ Challenging, dynamic combats where character death is a possibility. As your GM I am rooting for you, and I do not see DnD as a GM vs Player game. But know upfront: I will not shy away from killing your character if that's how the dice fall. 🗺️ Highly atmospheric HD maps and scenery, fully animated and with accompanying backing SFX 🛠️ New and tweaked adventure content, including new statblocks for most major boss monsters. 🎓 A DM highly familiar with the rules, with a tonne of experience teaching beginners how to play 🔰Campaign Hook🔰 Amidst the storm-drenched streets of Daggerford on the eve of Highharvesttide, where laughter and song fill warm homes, you find yourselves as outsiders, vagabonds seeking refuge in the cold rain. A hayloft in the rickety Nightmare’s Bridle stable offers scant comfort, the night’s revelry distant and muted. But as lightning splits the sky and mist curls unnaturally around you, the festival’s cheer fades into eerie silence. Drawn into the swirling fog by an unseen force, the town dissolves into shadow, the cobblestones beneath your feet echoing with an otherworldly rhythm. Heartbeats quicken, the air crackles with unseen energy, and as the mist parts, you find yourselves gazing upon a grim and unfamiliar land, its looming, jagged silhouettes heavy with a sense of despair—a foreboding glimpse of the journey to come. 🔰Joining the campaign 🔰 Session 0 and 1 are free. Due to StartPlaying's Rules I will need to manually set your game price to $0 for the early sessions after you join the campaign.
