The Call to Adventure: It’s the first week of summer break 1992, and all you want is a carefree stretch of days—no school, no chores, just fun. Expectations for Sessions: **Gameplay** This is a horror game. Your characters will experience uncomfortable situations. Your characters won't be able to finish every fight they get into. As the song says: You've got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away And know when to run **Role-Playing** With your character's development over time, be ready to explore deeper aspects of their personality and history.

Your enthusiasm and creativity are what will make this campaign unforgettable! Step into Barovia, where rolling mists beckon you through shadowed pines and promise a land of strange beauty—yet heed this invitation carefully, for the sky never brightens and the villages lie hushed under a veil of dread. Wander its twisted forests and you may glimpse wolves watching from the undergrowth; tread its crumbling roads and you’ll sense unseen eyes following every step. Castle Ravenloft looms above, its spires piercing the gray heavens, and its master, Strahd von Zarovich, holds this realm in a grip of unending terror. Come if you dare, with light in hand and courage in your heart—but know that once you cross Barovia’s threshold, escape may be no more than a distant hope.
