About the adventure

Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind’s howling increases as he turns his gaze down toward the village of Barovia. Far below, yet not beyond his keen eyesight, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd’s face forms the barest hint of a smile as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they cameβ€”all according to his plan. πŸ—ΊοΈ Explore the unique and unsettling land of Barovia 🩸 Defeat ancient horrors of the land... without becoming one yourself ⚰️ Survive Encounters with the mythic figure of Strahd von Zarovich

About me

Heya, welcome in! I've been a GM for about 8 years now and I'm looking to play with groups of committed and fun-loving players! I balance both roleplay and combat equally and love playing out new and interesting scenarios! Communication and inclusivity are always extremely important at my table, as I want to ensure a comfortable and safe environment for myself and my players to have fun.

Character creation

Creating your character

We will make characters together during our Session Zero, along with doing a short trial combat so everyone can get comfortable with their build. If you feel comfortable, feel free to make your own character beforehand, using either the "4d6 drop lowest" or "point buy systems", just let me know which you are going with before you build! Here are some other general rules when it comes to character creation: β—† I allow any race from the https://www.dndbeyond.com/races β—† All races will be allowed to switch their normal Ability Score Increase to instead increase one ability score by 2 and increase a different one by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. β—† Any class from the Player's Handbook (subclasses from the other books are accepted as well.) Artificers are allowed with slight modifiers, for balancing, which will be discussed beforehand. β—† All basic weapons and items will come from your background. Additional items will be given at my discretion, but feel free to let me know any you are interested in.
