About the adventure
Step into the mists of Barovia, a land trapped in eternal twilight and ruled by the dread vampire Strahd von Zarovich. This is a long-term campaign using the Curse of Strahd module, a gothic horror tale where every choice, ally, and secret can change your fate. I’ve run this campaign many times, and every group shapes Barovia in their own way. Even if you’ve played Curse of Strahd before, this experience will be completely unique, your story, your party, your ending. This game focuses heavily on roleplay, atmosphere, and moral choices, not just combat. Expect deep character interactions, tension-filled mysteries, and moments that test your courage and ideals. If you crave immersive storytelling, rich NPCs, and the slow descent into the heart of darkness, welcome to Barovia, where the mists remember every soul who dares to enter.

About me
My name is Thomaz, i'm from Brazil and DMing is my full time job! The first time i played D&D was back when i had 12, it was 3.5e. I had no ideia what i was doing but i felt in love with this game. My favorite edition by far is 5e, its so easy to learn! I have a large selection of campaigns i can DM for any party, going from light-hearted to dark fantasy. If i dont know it yet i can quickly get a it ready if the party wants! I also have a degree in languages (Portuguese-English), back in the day my goal was to teach native English speakers to learn Portuguese. I don't plain to be a tutor anymore, but i think i can still have that goal with D&D, helping my players learning while they play! My main goal is show the amazing world of RPG and help them to learm it! I have a game every single day of the week, morning and evening!

Creating your character
I strongly encourage players to create their own characters, but if they don’t have time, I’ll have plenty of pre-generated character sheets available. I have a campaign on D&D Beyond with content sharing enabled, so you should be able to create your character there with no problem! After that, we’ll import it into Foundry. The rules for character creation are simple: Point Buy (27 points), all official materials are allowed (except for backgrounds that grant extra feats), and no homebrew, though some cool UA might be allowed if the player really wants it. Everything in the game will be handled through FoundryVTT, rolling dice, grid combat, and so on, but all chat will be managed on Discord.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All players will need to connect to both Discord and FoundryVTT, links for both will be provided. I also recommend building your character on D&D Beyond. Please have at least a decent microphone; a webcam is only necessary if you feel comfortable using it. Players don’t need to be D&D rules experts, but I strongly encourage everyone to learn about their own class.
What Thomaz Eblen brings to the table
Being a Dungeon Master is my full-time job, and I take it very seriously. I have over 10 years of experience as a DM, and for this adventure alone, I’ve had more than 10 groups play through it. With FoundryVTT, there are all sorts of animated spells, battlemaps, and other features to enhance immersion! I also have a vast shared content pool on D&D Beyond that all of my players can access!
Homebrew rules
I tend to add rules as the campaign goes on, to improve my players’ quality of life.

How Thomaz Eblen creates a safe table
This adventure is a sandbox with a lot of quests, and none of them are irrelevant to the main narrative, not even the smaller ones. If the party completes all the content in this module, you can expect to reach level 14 by the final fight. I’ve DMed this many times, and I’ve made several changes to the base adventure to make it an even more enjoyable experience for players. No PvP allowed!
