Strahd's Curse on the Sword Coast | Levels 1-17 2024 5e/5r
Face the First Vampire in his mad crusade to conquer the Forgotten Realms!
About the adventure
Faerun, the Forgotten Realms, the Sword Coast. This land of wonder and place of many a heroes journey. From the treacherous alleyways of Baldur's Gate, to the Halls of Neverwinter. The Sword Coast is ripe with tales, tragedies and more! One such tale is that of the Curse of Strahd; a tale of grief, love and woe. The story of a brothers love turned to rage which then left a man empty and cursed to forever be bound to his land. A land where many adventurers have been lured into as he sought through them a way to break his Curse... Now... what if the Devil were to break free with the help of Three? In this tale we explore an alternative, instead of being invited, shunted or pulled into the Realms of Dread, what if... The Realms came to Faerun? The Mists that we know to surround the Realms of Dread appear around some major cities, all mortals loose their souls and sentience save for those with a stronger willpower than the common mortal... ~~~ In Curse on the Sword Coast you take on the role of a character that has retained their sentience and is the master of your own fate. Hailing from one of the many cities on the Sword Coast and drawn to the City of Splendor, Waterdeep. Where here you meet the rest of your troop and uncover a plot to bring the world into darkness... Will you and your party rise against the Dark Tyrant? Do you have what it takes to beat Evil itself? Or will your home, the Sword Coast, be brought into a perpetual cycle of death, torment, and suffering? ~~~

About me
(All games will be played on Roll20 and Characters made on D&D Beyond.) add my Discord! : takenomicon Hello there! (General Kenobi!) My name is Joseph I have been playing TTRPGs since my adolescent years. I picked up my first set of dice back in middle school, around the age of 13-14 can't remember exactly. From then I knew this was a part of my life. I have been running games since then on and off for friends, then high school came around and I started a club, running D&D out of my freshman English teacher's classroom after school. I hope to bring you through fantastical journeys and harrowing fights that can tell a compelling story!

Creativity
Knows the Rules
Rule of Cool
Joseph has maybe the most fun and diverse group of voices I have seen in a DM, and I can always count on him to be able to joke around with me and our diverse group who cause chaos all over the Sword Coast. I knew him as a player at first, but soon afterwords I got to know him as a DM and what amazing storytelling he brings to the table. Highly recommend if you want a fun story with even more thrilling characters.
Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will be made during session 0 preferably and on D&D Beyond. I wouldn't mind if the character was made beforehand but I would much rather it be done during session 0. We can discuss on whether or not we want to run an introductory story or jump right into the meat of the plot.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Things you will need: - a microphone - google or an equivalent browser (I recommend OperaGX) - discord - a D&D Beyond account, although you will not need books bought I will share sources with you. - a Roll20 account, as this will be where the game is played while characters are made on D&D Beyond - Beyond20, which is a google chrome extension that links D&D Beyond with Roll20
What Joseph | Tãkęnømįçøn brings to the table
Along with the free content on D&D Beyond I will be sharing with you, The Player Handbook, Xanathar's Guide to Everything, Tasha's Cauldron of Everything and more!

How Joseph | Tãkęnømįçøn creates a safe table
Session 0 is FREE! When we do Session 0 I will check and ask with everyone if there is anything that is too uncomfortable with anyone. Also during session 0 I would like to get a cumulative account of the groups skill level/ experience. I am open to new players and teaching newer players. Decent paced combat not rushed or fast, if you need time to decide and ask questions ask away. Role play wise I do like it as many do, so long as it doesn't make anyone uncomfortable. Rules, I don't try to stick to them too much outside of necessary ones that felicitate our playing of the game. For anything you are uncomfortable with, please speak up. Message me privately, of which there will be whisper channels provided and we can take a break to recover or talk in a private chat if needed as well.
