About the adventure
Hello potential player! Are you interested in playing a detailed character in a roleplay heavy campaign? Would you want to take on the dark powers of a Domain of Dread? Well get your party together and lets explore the Forgotten Realms! Explore the Domain of Dread known to be run by a tyrant dark lord, Strahd Von Zarovich. Slay the Vampire and cleanse the lands of Barovia! I have run Curse of Strahd of 8 times to completion mostly by the book, unlike those play throughs this will be much more heavily homebrewed and customized making it a much more challenging domain of dread and thus is for the more experienced player. Adventurers start in Waterdeep on the Sword Coast! The campaign expands into Homebrew of the Sword Coast and beyond after CoS concludes following the characters or introducing new characters to an continued story. Your character may come from somewhere within the realms and gathered here to begin the adventure, there will be a few starting options to assist character creation. CONTENT WARNING: Curse of Strahd is filled with many dark themes that may not be for the weary. Though I will be homebrewing the campaign it will still pick at those dark themes as it is within a Domain of Dread. For this reason I rate this module R for adults only. I will have safety tools and options for players that may have phobias but there are limitations to that with such a module. Thank you for understanding!

Creating your character
DnD beyond and during Session 0 All characters will get some time to detail a backstory before session 1. I host an online server with detailed locations and history of Faerun to help you discover and expand on your character! I will sit with each player and ensure a backstory is crafted with detail that suits the player, and locations that fit the setting. All DnD Beyond content is available and will be shared and discussed what is/isnt offered based off which module is chosen.
Welcome Intrepid Adventurers! This adventure is the classic Curse of Strahd with an update for 2024 and homebrew changes ive made to the adventure in a whole. You can expect heavy roleplay, character backstory development, and homebrew updated combats to keep you well engaged! A dark gothic setting, with music, voice acting, and imagery to help keep you immersed. Detailed maps and art to flesh out the adventure! The adventure begins in Toril as a low level adventurer or mercenary working for one of the five factions, Harpers, Emerald Enclave, Lord's Alliance, Order of the Gauntlet, or the Zhentarim. Or youre just a mercenary looking to make money, either way you've been recruited into a mission from Waterdeep to defend Daggerford from Werewolf attacks.
