Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

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? ~~~

How to prepare

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 I provide

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!

Gameplay details

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.

How will character creation work

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.
