Tuesdays in Barovia | CoS Reloaded | Roleplay Heavy
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Play in an unforgettable journey in the lands of Barovia! This heroic fantasy adventure within the gothic horror/dark fantasy setting has deep lore, engaging NPCS, and a challenging but fair game play experience. With a BBEG who is ever present throughout the story that you will love to hate as you continue to uncover his motivations and desires. Be the hero or even wait until those crucial life and death situations brings that side out. Either way expect to find more enjoyment from being cooperative with your party and NPC's you meet. A new twist on backstory. Instead of exploring the backstory you're set to explore the depth of your character. How do their flaws, fears, and even regrets get confronted as they learn about this new land? Be prepared to form meaningful relationships with NPCs all throughout the campaign. They can be the most valuable resource be they allies, give information, or new story hooks. Look forward to combat that is plot connected and failure is not always the end. New players welcomed with opened arms. Players who thrive on exploring the inner workings of their characters and how the situations they find themselves in shape their actions will thrive in this setting. Played Curse of Strahd before? Fantastic, you're going to find a brand new experience here still. "Do you hear them crying out "villain" and "devil"? They speak not of me." - Strahd Von Zarovich Session Zero is no charge.
Game style
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

What I provide
Ever growing library on DnDBeyond with content sharing Dedicated Discord Server Beautiful art work and maps through those that I subscribe to on Patreon Rudimentary hands outs when I have to make something myself (it's a WIP skill) Well played out NPCs that feel real and have their own stories to connect with. A constant ambiance soundtrack I have spend years building for this module and the multitude of locations within. Mid session break Rulings for the table will be decided in session zero. I have a few homebrew rules I feel add to the experience and welcome ideas on others always. In game play rules are there to guide us all on crafting narrative moments we seek. Mostly, I wish to run an experience that will live with you for years to come. Don't worry, I'll get just as deep into the story as you're willing to go! Lastly, I have run CoS to completion twice now. I breathe this world. I hope to make you fall in love with it as well.
Gameplay details
Every game will end with a quick wind down, and players are able to go over anything they really enjoyed in the session as well as anything that was just not super great. Even outside of session please reach out to me with any concerns.
