Ravenloft - The Demiplane of Dread

About the adventure

You stand at a crossroad thick with fog, looking up at a half-rotted signpost. You check again the letter you found, hidden within your pack: "To the sign and sinister, wouldst thou walk the way? Down to stone and iron gate, ere the loss of day. Whither will thou wander? What sights will thou espy? To and from that lonely place, or to stay and die?" This is a game of gothic horror and seeking to be a light within the darkest places. Utilizing the 5e (2024) core rules only, it will be friendly to the newest of players as well as those more experienced. Fans of horror and the Ravenloft setting will get the most out of this campaign, but the Mists are always looking for new arrivals not yet aware of what waits within. We will fully discuss boundaries within session zero, but this is a general warning of the vast potential of horror to explore very uncomfortable themes. The Demiplane of Dread, the setting of Ravenloft, has many domains within. Most famous of the adventures there is Castle Ravenloft. This story does not begin in Barovia, but instead to the west in the rolling hills of Borca, along an empty road near the House of Lament. It will intertwine pre-written modules such as Curse of Strahd and older adventures along with my own written material and new pieces custom to the characters created. Where the players choose to go will dictate what materials will be utilized after the initial experience in House of Lament.
