About the adventure
🦇 Enter a grimdark world, in an unknown and foreign land called Barovia, a world so dark the sun can only be seen dimly. ⚔️ Enjoy creative and challenging combat scenarios. In this world, there are many fun and tough combat encounters, and some might require more brains than brawn. 🗣️ Adventure in a world filled with high Role-Play and complex characters, some of which might have your best or worst interests at heart. 🧠 Navigate complex political and personal social encounters that you might find in the world of Barovia. ------------------- This is a play-by-post campaign to be held asynchronously over Discord. The main strength of this style of play is that players can contribute whenever they have the time, making it perfect for those with busy schedules or living in different time zones. Each player adds to the story at their own pace, giving themselves time to think about their character's actions and reactions. As your Dungeon Master, I will commit to posting at least three times per day, 6 days a week; and encourage you as a player to post at least once or twice per day.

Creating your character
- Starting @ Level 1 - Stats will be Rolled for in the Discord - Must use DND Beyond, Gsheet, or Dicecloud. I do not have a DND Beyond campaign link yet but if you find it too expensive you can use Gsheet (contact me for help with setting it up or any questions regarding it) - All Officially Released D&D Sourcebooks Allowed
What to expect
Preparing for the session
A basic computer or mobile device that can access Discord, no mic or any applications needed! We will go over house rules, character creation, etc. together in chat.
What Slosh brings to the table
📘D&D Handbook Access: You'll have access to the Hanbook to reference the new options and choose what ever you wish to play. 🎨 Creative Storytelling and Engaging Storylines: Expect a hands-on game with all types of foreshadowing and carefully planned narratives that all will be shaped by your Character, make sure to take notes because what might seem small at first could end up returning later in the story. ⚔️ Tactical and Intense Combat: Prepare for strategically challenging encounters. I aim to balance tactical depth with fast-paced action to keep combat exciting and engaging. 🗺️ Custom Maps and Tokens: Visual aids like custom maps and tokens will be used to enrich your understanding of the environment and help track your adventures visually. 🎲 Rule of Cool: I embrace the Rule of Cool, prioritizing fun and dramatic moments over strict adherence to rules. 📖 Homebrew Friendly & Third Party Sourcebook Open: Open to all Homebrew & Third Party Sourcebooks just as long as you run it by me first and I get a chance to look it over and approve it.
