About the adventure
Salutations adventurers, it would seem fate has brought you here. Barovia does not take kindly to strangers, but perhaps there is something different about you. Perhaps... you will finally be the one to clear the Mist and evil away from this place and set everyone free. DM with 10+ years experience looking for 5 players to join for weekly sessions. Each session will run for about 3 hours. Once all players are acquired and ready, the first session can begin on Fridays, however the hour we start can be accommodated for everyone's leisure.

About me
I'm an American DM and go by Tim (he/him). I've been playing 5e about 10 years now and have been DM-ing for about half that time. I specialize in building off of players and enriching their experience. So if you have a cool idea, feel free to bounce it off of me and we can make the campaign an engaging experience for everyone at the table. Players have usually described me as funny and easy-going and while I'd like to be serious at times, we'll probably end up cracking a lot of jokes by the end of it. That doesn't mean there won't be dark themes, but it won't come at the cost of people's enjoyment or fun we can have while playing. If you have any questions about me, feel free to ask.

Creating your character
We will be going over character creation on session 0 as well. Stats will be rolled in the VTT at that time, no sooner. If you wish to have lower stats (example: low INT Barbarian) you may choose to just have that, but you can't go higher. Characters will be level 2 and will level up in milestones. We will only be using official 2014 material.
Under raging storm clouds, a lone 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. * LGBTQIA+ Friendly * Premium maps and Token Art. * Professional Tokenization of your VTT token art. * DM with over 3,000 hours on Roll20 and 5 years experience. * Plus GM features on Roll20
