About the adventure

Embark on a perilous journey through the Realm of Ravenloft, a realm of monsters where the Unseelie Realms of Shadow bleed into reality, and the monsters and spirits within creep out and threaten the small settlements in this dark land. Join a band of Jagers, both desperately needed while feared and reviled as Sinners who dare consort with evil, sanctioned by the Dread Lord, Strahd von Zarovich. Drift through this bleak land, and perhaps restore the points of light against the shadow in short, episodic tales.

About me

I'm a DM with nearly 30 years of experience and have been a Professional running multiple sessions weekly since 2021. I've been playing since 2nd Edition and I strongly believe that the player's write the story with their choices and decisions, I'm just the editor that makes sure every player is getting the role they want in the story. While I sometimes may be using published materials, I'll often tailor the module to the players. This means that your choices in character creation will help shape the story, and veterans who may have played the adventure before might get a surprise or two! I believe in RAW and RAI, meaning your spells and abilities will do what they say they do, but I also support and encourage creative applications as well. I won't punish you for your build or your creativity, instead I'll find ways to make you feel challenged and awesome! I'm a fan of rich, fulfilling narratives, memorable characters with unique personalities and stories that will change based on your decisions, but I'm also a seasoned vet who's fought a battle or two and loves dynamic tactical combat. Depending on who is in the group and what your preference is, we can focus on either (or both!). We can play a session without a single roll of a die, or we can wage glorious battle through a gauntlet of cunning foes. The game you want is the game I'll bring to you!

Character creation

Creating your character

There will be pregen characters available, otherwise we will build characters in Session 0! Please focus on the Crooked Moon, Grim Hollow, Ebon Tide, Van Richten's Guide and Heliana's Monster Hunting rules, but discussions about other elements can be discussed!

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Have a discord account, a webbrowser, a D&D beyond account, a Forge Account, the Beyond 20 Browser App, a character concept (I can help!) and a friendly attitude! I will offer access to the full D&D Beyond catalogue, as well as access to a Discord Server.
