About the adventure

The Curse of Strahd is perhaps the best story in D&D 5th Edition, and is one of my personal favourites to tell. At its core, the story brings a classic gothic-horror style adventure, with intruige and plot twists. Your choices matter, and you'll be sitting on the edge of your seat more than once as the tale unfolds. Embark on an unforgettable journey where danger lurks in every corner and your decisions shape your destiny. Join this campaign and you will become a hero in the darkest of realms. Will you survive the horrors of Barovia? ๐ŸŒ‘ Gritty Gothic Horror: Immerse yourself in the eerie atmosphere of Barovia, where every shadow hides secrets, and survival is not guaranteed. ๐ŸŽญ Methodical Role-Playing: Experience a meticulous and story-driven role-playing adventure, where your choices shape the unfolding narrative. โš”๏ธ Enhanced Combat: Engage in combat encounters that are both challenging and thrilling, with a focus on tactical decision-making. ๐Ÿ”Š Atmospheric Audio: Dive deeper into the world with over 100 carefully curated music pieces, setting the mood for every situation, from intense battles to spine-tingling ambiance. ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Clear Communication: Utilise Discord with a clear headset and optional video chat for seamless interaction with the DM and fellow players. ๐Ÿง  Psychological Depth: Brace yourself for psychologically challenging scenarios that add layers of intensity to the game, balanced with moments of humor and epic storytelling. ๐ŸŽฒ Transparent Gameplay: Witness all NPC dice rolls during combat, ensuring fairness and transparency in decision-making. ๐Ÿ“– Character Development: Craft compelling backstories for your characters and watch them evolve from survivors to the heroes that Barovia desperately needs. ๐Ÿ”ฎ Spell Scroll changes: No class restrictions for using spell scrolls - if your character can read it, they can use it. ๐Ÿ“š Accessible Resources: Benefit from a collection of Roll20 books, allowing access to specific races and classes for character creation. ๐Ÿ“Š Balanced Mechanics: We will use standard array for ability scores and a generous absence of encumbrance limits for your inventory. ๐Ÿ‘ฅ Player Count: Gather your companions; we welcome parties of 4 to 6 adventurers. ๐Ÿช„ Session Flexibility: If a player can't attend a session and all agree to continue with the session, their character will be safe in a danger-free zone, allowing them to rejoin the adventure later. ๐Ÿค Respect and Comfort: Uphold proper etiquette, ensuring everyone enjoys a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere where role-playing is the realm of discomfort. ๐ŸŒ„ Awaiting Your Valor: In the land of Barovia, heroes rise from the shadows. Unearth the secrets, confront the malevolent dark forces, and emerge victorious. Ready to step into the mists? Join us in The Curse of Strahd and let the tale of your bravery be written in the annals of Barovian history! Beginners Welcome! New players are welcome in my games, including those who are new to online play!

About me

Hello all! My handle is Strifey and my singular passion is for โ€˜The Curse of Strahdโ€™ campaign module which I have ran succesfully several times. I specialize in storytelling and building expansive narratives throughout this campaign, so therefore your enjoyment of the game will be my top priority. The psychological thriller setting and expansive horrors intrigue me, especially when watching how players react to certain scenarios. I prefer teaching new players, guiding them towards a better understanding of the game and watching them transform from their humble beginnings into the mightiest of heroes that they can possibly be. Patience is the key to understanding my players hopes and dreams for their characters and I will accommodate their desires to the best of my ability.
