About the adventure
The mists are calling—and they know your name. The land beyond the fog is not dead… but it has forgotten how to live. In this place, sunlight is a memory, hope is a currency long spent, and your story was written before you ever set foot across the border. The locals speak in hushed voices. The dead don’t always stay buried. And somewhere in a crumbling castle, a figure watches, waiting, remembering. If you're looking for... 🕯 Dark Fantasy and Gothic Horror Unleashed Step into a cursed realm of haunted villages, ruined chapels, and mist-wrapped forests, where every setting drips with dread and beauty alike. 🎭 Deep Roleplay and Personal Horror Unravel a story woven around your character’s past, fears, and legacy—where the monster in the dark may know you better than you know yourself. ⚰️ Terrifying Foes and High-Stakes Choices Face off against cursed creatures, manipulative spirits, and one of D&D’s most iconic villains in a campaign where every choice echoes, and every moment might be your last. 🌙 An Open World of Secrets and Sorrow Explore Barovia at your own peril—meet tragic NPCs, uncover forbidden knowledge, and decide what kind of hero you will become in a land that does not forgive.
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.
Sandbox / Open World
In "Sandbox" or "Open World" games, players are given a tremendous amount of freedom to pursue their stories without the restrictions of a more linear game style. Players are encouraged to explore and engage with the world, and find their own story as they do so. These games offer the players the opportunity to help drive the narrative, and allow for the story to evolve organically through the choices they make.

How to prepare
Players will be required to have microphones, Roll20 accounts, and Discord to participate. Discord can be downloaded for a smoother experience compared to the browser version. Character concepts are great for preparation. We will work together to get the details translated into a D&D character prior to session. Here is the invite link, if it doesn't work just message me on this site and I'll get you in. Discord: https://discord.gg/D2ahTnSV3u

Gameplay details
🎬 Free Session Zero Before we begin, I offer a one-on-one Session Zero with each player. It’s a chance to talk through expectations, tone, themes, and character ideas. My games explore both the heroic and the harrowing, and this onboarding helps ensure everyone feels informed and comfortable from the very start—without adding extra time to your schedule. 🫱 Post-Session Check-Ins After each session, I’ll check in—especially after major moments or emotional beats. It’s a simple way to stay connected and make sure everyone feels heard, supported, and excited for what’s next. ⏸️ Breaks & Refunds Sessions include short 5–10 minute breaks in the middle. If something unexpected forces a major delay or cancellation on my part (say, spontaneous food poisoning), I’ll issue a refund. Your time and experience matter.

How will character creation work
📘 2024 Ruleset We’ll be using the updated 2024 D&D rules for a fresh and balanced experience. If a subclass, spell, or race doesn’t have a 2024 version yet, feel free to use the 2014 one instead. 🎲 Stat Generation You’ll roll two stat arrays using the !randchar command twice on our Discord server. If luck isn’t on your side, Point Buy is available as a safety net. ⚖️ Balance Over Brutality Powergaming in moderation is totally fine—there’s fun in making a strong build! Just remember: the goal is to create a well-rounded, engaging character, not just a numbers-driven damage dealer. You'll shine more when you're part of the story, not just dominating the battlefield. 🩸 The Haunted One (Optional Background) If you’ve played Curse of Strahd before, consider taking the Haunted One background for a unique second descent into the mists. Your character begins as middle-aged, with a spouse, children, all while living a life they’ve built far away from adventure. You remember nothing of your first time in Barovia—but the land remembers you. Something will call you back, and you will have no choice but to answer.
