How to prepare
While there will be a session 0, it would help greatly to have backstories (no longer than 2 paragraphs/6 sentences please) written out before session 0 or at least some sort of character idea you would like to play. All options from Matthew Mercer's works or Grim Hollow are allowed. Please have a working Mic, discord, and a Roll20.
What I provide
I provide all the content from the Ravenloft setting, from maps, to tokens, as well as experiences from all of the previous iterations of Ravenloft in the editions before 5E. I have ran this campaign setting since the late 90s. With my absolute complete understanding of the material, I will be able to help you make a character that is fully immersive and fits your vision during session 0.
Gameplay details
Players will need a decent Mic, discord, and Roll20. If players only wish to use Roll20, we can, but I find that being able to connect with voice through Discord far easier than with Roll20. What you can expect in a typical session: Everyone logging into Roll20, then joining discord. After everyone is connected we are ready to go. This game will have the potential for high tension roleplaying and brutal combat (fret not, there is enough room for some silly content too). I expect everyone to be on time and ready for the session and for them to stay for the entirety unless an emergency happens. This is a mature game and any topic may come up at the table in game, if there are any specific lines you would like to avoid crossing please feel free to message me and I will make a note of it. There will be a 10-minute break around mid-session for grabbing snacks, drinks, and bio breaks. House Rules -Potions: It is a bonus action to swig a potion or you can take a full action to drink the potion and gain the max amount of health back. -Death Saves: Death saving throws are done privately by me. -Vicious Mockery or Tasha’s Hideous Laughter: If your joke/insult makes me laugh, the target gets no saving throw.

How will character creation work
Character Creation will be in session zero as a group. We will use standard array for stat generation and we will create characters with the mind that they will come to work together and attempt to bring the day to a land cursed with eternal night. Rather you choose to create a character who was just a simple farmer or one who has always been destined for greatness, they will have allies that they can trust completely. Those allies will be your fellow players.
