Bat Royale | Curse of Strahd | Battle Royale Campaign | D&D 2024
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
In the shadowed realm of Barovia, Count Strahd von Zarovich extends a chilling invitation: enter the Bat Royale, a nightmarish contest where only the cunning survive. Amidst the cursed mists and twisted landscapes, Strahd has hidden his sinister treasures—magic weapons and cursed artifacts—each a tantalizing bait for the desperate and the daring. With a staggering prize of 50,000 gold coins, a potent wish spell, and the dark promise of eternal life hanging in the balance, participants must navigate a hellish gauntlet of monstrous NPCs, ravenous beasts, and merciless traps. The battlefield morphs with every heartbeat, a living entity eager to ensnare the unwary. But why does the Lord of Vampires orchestrate this macabre spectacle? Is it merely for his own amusement, or does he seek something far darker—a fresh source of souls to feed his insatiable hunger? As alliances shatter and betrayals bloom in the flickering shadows, will you muster the strength to defy the odds and emerge unscathed from this twisted game of life and death? Enter the Mists, if you dare, and confront your fate in a blood-soaked arena where every heartbeat could be your last. 🦇 Level 3 - 10 adventure 🦇 PvP is prohibited unless all players consent 🦇 Narrative Battle Royale Campaign 🦇 Custom TTRPG Experience

What I provide
Directly inspired by the man, the myth, the legend, Brennan Lee Mulligan; I have spent the last 3 years deep-diving into the methods of your favorite celebrity DMs to hone my craft and deliver an experience akin to Dimension 20, or Critical Role! As your DM, I am your character's biggest fan! I want to help you experience the fantasy of your choice. In D&D, I believe that's largely tied to the class you want to play. As you develop your character I'll make offers to integrate you into the campaign and develop something that's right for you and fits the story we are telling. I allow the rules to dictate the game insofar as the constraints of those rules help to tell the story. In other words, rules may be bent, broken, or all together ignored in service of the story. However, in this game we gamble with story! Neither you nor I know what's going to happen in the story we are about to tell. When you roll a die, that roll is sacred. We use unbiased RNG in dramatic moments to decide the fates of characters in the story and we abide by the roll. The gamble must be fair, or the story loses its magic. As a trained actor and improvisor, I use a mixture of first person and third person story telling. I utilize a variety of voices and accents but you are not expected to. I wield a variety of first-party, third-party, and home-brewed 5E content like MCDM's Flee Mortals. I come with a Master Tier subscription to DnDBeyond with access to: PHB 2024 I strive to run a diverse and inclusive table, which means I wholly welcome BIPOC and LGBTQ+ players in my games.

How will character creation work
Character creation begins as soon as an idea pops into your head! I encourage you to DM me about them as soon as you sign up. You will build your character in D&D Beyond prior to our Session 0. Pre-generated characters are available. In session 0, we will begin to cement your narrative ideas, so that if you wish to build connections with your fellow PCs you still have flexibility. You will start at level 3, you'll want to have your Class and Subclass in mind. Classes and subclasses and spells may be from the new 2024 PHB. Published content* means no Unearthed Arcana.
