About the adventure
Welcome to the land of Barovia, a cursed land full of things that go bump in the night and horrors that lurk in the shadows. Join in as your experienced Dungeon Master helps you weave a story of monsters and mayhem in one of the most beloved modules in Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. Even if you've never rolled a dice in your life, you have a chance to be a hero and step up and thwart the vampire lord Strahd and free a land from his undead grasp.
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

How to prepare
You will need to be able to join Discord voice, so a microphone will be necessary. No prior experience is needed with the systema as I am happy to teach it as we go along. You will need a DnDBeyond (at least Free) account to share your character.
What I provide
The DM will provide a custom campaign on DnDBeyond for building chracters, a discord channel, and the use of VTT maps for combat encounters. Art and sound for ambiance will also be utilized and players are invited to make their characters their own. I am a big believer in the idea that flavor is free and that fun is the #1 priority for playing the game. I utilize a greater focus on Rule of Cool style storytelling and invite and encourage roleplaying and feeling comfortable improv'ing in the moment around story beats and player intereactions.
Gameplay details
Players joining can expect a fun and welcoming experience for those unfamiliar with the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition system. Players can anticipate a rule of cool approach to problem solving and events in a way that builds a collaborative shared world between all involved.

How will character creation work
Players will be creating a level 3 character as part of the custom campaign that is shared on DnDBeyond. You are welcome to use any first party Wizards Of The Coasts 5th edition books when constructing your characters. However, please do not mix and match 5th edition rules with changes from the 2024 books, as this can create an imbalanced and unfair situation for players.
