Additional details
How to prepare
You'll need: -a Discord account -a DND Beyond account -a pc or laptop -a microphone -a positive attitude! (your character can be as dark as you wish, but at it's heart this is a cooperative and social game)
What I provide
I'll bring the virtual table top, maps, custom art, sounds, etc. As much creativity as possible. RAW unless the RAW is a bad one. No fudged rolls, "if he dies, he dies". A combo of deadly encounters with zany antics (some comedy is essential in Barovia, you'll see).
Gameplay details
I only selected a few of the applicable content warnings. But expect that unless someone identifies something, "anything goes" in this campaign. If you have specific content you wish to exclude, just tell me, no judgement, everyone needs to be safe here. Barovia can be a scary place, we don't need to make it unnecessarily so. Please feel free to communicate with me openly or anonymously to stay away from triggering content.
