About the adventure

🎭 Greetings, brave soul and storyteller! 🎭 You stand on the threshold of an unforgettable journey into the land of Barovia—a realm where gothic horror seeps through every crack in the crumbling stone, where secrets lie buried beneath mist-laden woods, and where every whispered word could change the fate of the world. But this is more than just a tale of monsters and magic. This is your story. 🩸 A Roleplay-Driven Gothic Campaign: This is a game for those who love deep character moments, intense dialogue, emotional storytelling, and fully inhabiting their character. Expect meaningful interactions, tough moral choices, and opportunities to explore who your character truly is—whether through whispered confessions, haunted dreams, or confrontations with their past. 🩸 Face Strahd von Zarovich: Will you rise to challenge the dark prince of Barovia—or find yourself drawn into his web? Your history, motivations, and choices will shape every encounter. 🩸 Explore a Land Cloaked in Mist: Barovia lives and breathes around you. Every villager has a name, every whisper has weight, and every location holds memories both beautiful and terrible. This is a world that reacts to you. 🩸 Collaborative Storytelling: Your backstory matters. I will work with you to seamlessly tie your past into the greater narrative. Expect scenes built just for your character, relationships that evolve, and arcs that pay off emotionally. 🩸 For Roleplayers of All Levels: Whether you're a seasoned improviser or just dipping your toes into RP, this table is a safe space for bold choices and creative expression. Let your character live, breathe, and break. 🩸 Guided Support: I’ll ensure you’re always comfortable with the mechanics and empowered to make the most of your RP experience. Whether you're new to D&D or an old hand, you’ll never be left in the fog. 🩸 Drama, Tension, and Triumph: Expect scenes worthy of the stage—love, loss, betrayal, redemption. Strahd’s domain is a cruel one... but it makes heroes shine all the brighter. 🩸 Your Voice Shapes the Tale: This is a campaign where you can monologue into the abyss, make bargains under moonlight, and change the course of history with a single decision. Your character isn’t just part of the story—they are the story. The mists are calling, and Barovia hungers for souls brave enough to face its truth. Will you rise as a beacon of hope—or fall as a cautionary tale whispered in the shadows? 🎭 Come not just to fight—but to feel, to speak, to live. Your story begins now. Barovia awaits.

Safety

How Del creates a safe table

I prioritize the safety and comfort of all players by implementing safety tools. Before we start the campaign, I'll provide a link to the Lines and Veils document. This document allows players to specify any themes or topics they prefer to avoid or approach with caution. Our Session 0 is dedicated to discussing the Lines and Veils document in detail, as well as going over player boundaries and preferences. For newer players, Session 0 also includes an explanation of how the game mechanics work and what to expect during the campaign. After each session, I practice aftercare by checking in with players to gather feedback. This feedback helps me improve the gaming experience and address any concerns or suggestions from the players. Additionally, I have a few rules in place to ensure a positive and respectful gaming environment, including zero tolerance for harassment. These rules are aimed at ensuring everyone has a good time and promote basic principles of being a decent human being, such as kindness and respect for others.
