About the adventure

The long forgotten land of Barovia is plagued by monsters of the night. For generations, an evil Vampire Lord has reigned unchallenged. By joining this adventure, you will be asked to slay creatures of the night, those who have taken up residence alongside this Vampire Lord. This is a horror adventure designed for players of all experience level.

Game style

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

Combat Heavy

“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

Additional details

How to prepare

Needs: Microphone, DND Beyond Account for Character Sheets, Discord account for audio, video, and, chat functions within the party. Recommendations: Dice (DND Beyond has functions for dice rolling within the game, which can be used. However, if you want to use Physical Dice, you are welcome to)

What I provide

There will be a Discord server for this campaign where you can communicate with the other players and the DM. This server is where the video/audio session will be hosted, and will be an exclusive space for this game. We will use DND Beyond for character creation, storage, etc. I will supply all digital media required for the campaign and character creation process. I will be using DND Beyond Maps as the virtual tabletop. Instructions to access this feature will be sent out on the day of the session via the discord server and chat.

Gameplay details

Using discord, there will also be a private chat between each player and the DM so that if something is happening during a session it can be communicated. We will also follow the rule of X, N, & O's during game so that players can raise concerns as they come up. After each session there will be a time to Debrief and use Stars and Wishes to discuss what is going well and what needs to change. I also play with an open door policy, so that if something is not addressed already, you can always speak to me about it in private.

How will character creation work

Characters should be created using DNDBeyond, where the DM will have access to them as well (as a formality, to make the game go smoother). If players have a character they made previously, they can speak to me directly about it. If you want a pre-made character, I can supply one. If you choose to make a character with the rest of the party, I will walk you through that process during session 0 (or before on Discord) and we will make them together.
