A Tale of Fog and Dread - New campaing, beginner friendly!
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
This adventure for many is the best module of D&D 5e, the reasons are: Very immersive setting with plenty of characters and a deep lore to explore. I have myself DM this more than 10 times and every single time is a new exciting experience. The type of gameplay you can expect from this module is a complete sandbox in a valley of dread and fog where the sun never shines named Barovia. Undeath, night, hunger and hopeless are the main theme here. This adventure is dark indeed but not in the bad way, as the hero of this story you are the beacon of hope that shall bright upon this dread land. I recommend Curse of Strahd for everyone that loves a good vampire story, you will find plenty here. I also can Dm many other campaings if you party have it schedule set but prefer something more light hearted!
Game style
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.
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.
Even if isnt your first time in Barovia i can tell you that it will feel unique!

Additional details
How to prepare
All players will need to connect to discord and FoundryVTT, for that both links will be provided. I also recommend building your character on D&D beyond. Have at least a good mic, webcam is only necessary if you feel comfortable using it. The players don't need to be D&D rulers experts but i strongly encourage them to learn about the own class.
What I provide
Be a Dungeon Master is my full time job, i take it really seriously. I have more than 10 years of experience been a DM, and for this adventure alone i had more than 10 groups playing it. With Foundry VTT theres all sort of animated spells, battlemaps and so on to better enhance the immersion! I have a vast shareble content pool on dnd beyond that any of my players can use!
Gameplay details
This adventure is a sandbox with ALOT of quests and none are irrelevant for the major narrative, even the smaller ones. If the party complete all the content in this module you can expect to be 14th level on the last fight. I have DM this plenty of times, so i have made many changes on the base adventure to make it even a more enjoyable player experience. No PVP allowed!

How will character creation work
I strongly encourage the player to create the own character, but if them don't have the time for it i will have many character sheets created in advance. I have a campaing in DND beyond with shared content so you should be able to make your character with no problem there! And then we import to the Foundry! The rules for character creation are simple: Point buy 27 points, all official books materials allowed (except for background that give extra feats) and no homebrew but perhaps some cool UA if the player really wants. For all the things in the game we will use FoundryVTT, to roll dice, combat on the grid, etc. But all the chat will be managed on Discord.
