Raven's Revelry | A Curse of Strahd Campaign | Free Session 0
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
"We open to a twilight morning. The moment between night and dawn. The evening mist still lingers, not yet burned away by the sun. We move as the raven flies, and a picturesque town in its early morning serenity comes into view. We perch on a steepled roof and watch as the peace is broken..." Raven's Revelry will be a unique and customized retelling of the much-beloved Curse of Strahd campaign. You will begin the adventure in the sleepy little town of Secomber before you are ushered into the mists, leaving behind the peaceful existence you once knew. Now beset by nightmares come to life, dark machinations, and ancient evils, the question becomes, 'Will I ever see home again?'. In this gothic horror campaign, you will face off against one of D&D's most iconic villains, navigate treacherous social encounters, and learn that being a hero sometimes means surviving to fight another day.
Game style
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.
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.

How will character creation work
Character creation will happen during session 0, but players are encouraged to peruse the lore document and create character concepts ahead of time. Characters will be made on D&D Beyond using Point Buy. Players can request homebrew and 3rd party products, but I will need to review them before they can be used.
