Curse of Strahd | Gothic Fantasy | DND 5E (2014)
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
💀_______________Curse of Strahd________________💀 You will play as doomed souls that become trapped within the land of Barovia ruled by the immortal and powerful Dark Lord Strahd Von Zarovich. 🦇____________________Story_____________________🦇 You all come to the small crossroads of Trails End seeking something. Perhaps for information on dangerous beasts prowling the area or the missing children in the area? Maybe you seek out the famous Leviathan Tavern and the Nobles meeting within? Maybe you have heard of the mist appearing in the great wood and the secrets beyond? 🏳️🌈____________________Inclusive__________________ 🏳️🌈 I try and create a friendly space where all are welcome in both my Discord and in my games themselves. Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia and other forms of bigotry will not be tolerated. 😈________________Bleak but Joyful_______________ 😈 This is a horror focused campaign with lots of dark moments and murder (particularly children) so be warned. But there is plenty of humour, heart and room for bright eyed adventurers and stoic heroes seeking to do good. Between my silly vague Eastern European accent/s and a quirky cast of NPCs we're sure to be in for a fun time! Can't wait to play with you all!
Game style
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

How to prepare
You will need a Discord and Roll 20 Account to play this game. Roll 20 is a browser based virtual game-board that most computers can run easily. Using either your phone and earbuds or a fully mic and headphones setup you will need the ability to do voice chat. A consistent internet connection and fairly quiet living space is also a must. Together during Session 0 or 1-on-1 before the 1st Session starts I like to do a test with the dynamic lighting and give you a chance to familiarize yourself with Roll-20.
What I provide
I have a Pro account with Roll20 so all of the lighting and character options you could ask for. I have the module on Roll20 so there is a wealth of handouts and customs maps all ready to go. I also like to keep the in game player journal nice and neat so you can search info about the various NPC's the party has met in your own time.
Gameplay details
I like to have a one one one chats about themes you want to avoid and what spooks you want to explore. I have a detailed safety tools document in my discord for those who wish to peruse it. While I like to include in the horror aspects of the Campaign I do try to keep it light and fun as possible. But yeah their is a lot of dead kids in this adventure!

How will character creation work
We will be making characters together on the platform using the charactermancer. We will be starting at Level 3 and while you can do standard array you are most welcome to roll for stats. I also have most of the subclass/race options in Roll20 so go wild!
