Curse of Strahd

Curse of Strahd

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

l figure stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. The vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stares down a sheer cliff at the village below. A cold, bitter wind spins dead leaves about him, billowing his cape in the darkness. Lightning splits the clouds overhead, casting stark white light across him. Strahd turns to the sky, revealing the angular muscles of his face and hands. He has a look of power-and of madness. His once handsome face is contorted by a tragedy darker than the night itself. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind's howling increases as Strahd turns his gaze back to the village. Far below, yet not beyond his ken, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd's face forms a twisted smile as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they have come-all according to his plan. He, the master of Ravenloft, will attend to them. Another lightning flash rips through the darkness, its thunder echoing through the castle's towers. But Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind-or perhaps a lone wolf-fills the midnight air. The master of Raven loft is having guests for dinner. And you are invited.

How to prepare

A computer or phone are required to play, and you will need have a discord other than that use should be fine. I have taught many of brand-new players how to play and have played with many of gamers with even more knowledge than myself and we always seem to have a great time.

What I provide

I use Discord, an HD cam and google drive (which has most game character sheets, players handbooks and such), from there we should be able to run almost any game we would like to play.

Gameplay details

I do my best to keep things pg-13 unless we all agree during the session 0, to make it any changes.
