About the adventure
You came to Barovia lost and unprepared. You barely survived your first weeks in the mists. You’ve stumbled, you’ve struggled, you've grown stronger with every fight, every friend buried, every small victory ripped from the jaws of despair. And through it all, Strahd has watched you, laughed at you, toyed with you. Let you live just long enough to break you slowly. But tonight? You’re done. No more hiding. No more running. Strahd dies tonight! This one-shot drops you straight into the blood-soaked stones of Castle Ravenloft. You’ve come prepared, battle-hardened, hearts scarred, armed with desperate hope and sharpened steel. The castle is alive with dark magic and bitter memories. Its halls twist like the Countess herself, pulling you toward one final reckoning. This is gothic horror turned personal. You’ve earned every step that brought you here. And whether you triumph or fall, tonight you make your stand. It’s time to stop surviving. It’s time to end this.
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.

Additional details
How to prepare
Players should have the following: - access to a webcam/mic - a dndbyond account (for building characters and accessing the campaign and map/VTT) - a discord account (for playing the game)
What I provide
I will provide the dndbeyond campaign which has content sharing available so anything I own you can have access to as well, a discord server where we will play the game. I have a music bot in the server that will provide some nice background music and the occasional sound effect. I also have the Curse of Strahd adventure module, She is the Ancient, and the Wedding of Ravenloft supplements. She is the Ancient is a Curse of Strahd supplement that makes a few changes to encounters, characters, their motivations, and the base story notably genderbending Strahd and other NPCs. I am a big believer and practitioner of the Rule of Cool and the "yes and" philosophy. Players can expect a rules light, roleplay heavy experience that focus on telling a good story.
Gameplay details
A list of what safety tools I use can be found in my discord server, and we will go over them at the begin of the session, as well as having a brief session 0 at the start of the session
