About the adventure
Welcome to Barovia — a land forsaken by the gods, where the sun fails to take hold, and the mists never sleep. This is a horror fantasy campaign using Legend in the Mist, a storytelling-focused tabletop RPG system that favors narrative depth, emotional intensity, and character-driven horror over traditional combat mechanics. Players will explore a decaying realm cloaked in supernatural fog, where every shadow whispers, every ruin hides a story, and every decision could doom—or redeem—a soul. Barovia is an isolated, gothic domain cut off from the world by cursed mists. Its villages are half-abandoned, its forests alive with hunger, and its people trapped in cycles of dread. While the land is steeped in sorrow and blood, its secrets run deeper than ancient curses or tyrants. This isn't a tale of grand heroes—it’s one of survivors, sinners, and broken people clinging to hope in the face of creeping madness. Here, horror isn’t just something you fight—it’s something you feel. This game is for players who enjoy slow-burning tension, tragic choices, and immersive worldbuilding. Instead of dungeon crawls and loot hauls, expect unsettling encounters, fraught relationships, and mysteries that evolve with your character’s fears and flaws. Legends aren’t born here—they're remembered by the echoes they leave in the mist. If you crave a dark fairytale twisted by despair, where choices shape the legend as much as fate, then step into the fog. Barovia awaits—and it remembers everything.

About me
Hello, I'm Chance. I have been playing TTRPGs of one sort or another for better than 30 years (most of that as a GM). What started out as a hobby to entertain a small group of close friends in my basement with a D&D boxed set has turned into a lifelong love of storytelling and a desire to meet like-minded people! I have spun stories around great heroes known throughout the realms...as well as hog breeders that just wanted more than their little corner of the farm. Whether you are looking to be a knight of renown or a simple wanderer, there are stories to envelope you. My table is always open, and I try to maintain a safe, courteous and mostly fun place for you to explore the world that we create together. I have played with veteran players as well as complete beginners. I play online, in game stores, conventions...heck, I've even been known to still kick it in the basement...old school. So grab a seat friend, open your dice bag and let's see where we can go to today!

Creating your character
Characters will be made during the session 0 (which will be free). Legend in the Mist is a highly narrative game which uses "themes" and "tags" instead of stats. It is an amazingly simple system to work with but creates wonderfully narrative characters. The process is fairly streamlined and should take less than an hour.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have a decent quality mic, a discord account (preferably set for 'push-to-talk'), a decent internet connection and the desire to have fun. My first rule is 'Don't be a jerk!'...if you can abide with rule number 1, the rest is easy.
What Chance brings to the table
I have the rulebooks, the campaign knowledge, a Discord server specifically for the game as well as the Foundry server we'll be using as our VTT. Players need only bring a desire to have fun!

How Chance creates a safe table
The subject matter of the game will be a darker, grittier horror fantasy. Consequently, we'll be going over the lines and veils in Session 0 as we create characters. At this time, other methods will be discussed.
