About the adventure
The classic adventure of Curse of Strahd brought to life with gritty horror and darkness inspiration from the hit horror podcast, The Magnus Archives. There's death waiting behind every door and ruthless vampire hunting you with all their cunning, can you survive and escape the mists? More importantly, can you you escape before it corrupts you entirely? This is a faithful campaign at first glance, but the players and their choices can lead it off book and into new and dangerous territory that expands into the many other lands of Ravenloft in all their horror.

About me
Hi all! My name is George, I am a Dungeon Master and Storyteller with over 10 years of experience running games professionally for places like Forgotten Adventures, where I currently stream my games twice a week! Also I have run games professionally for corporate clients and events as well. My goal is to make enough money running games to focus on this full time, doing the math, that would only take around ~20 players a week to be able to pay the bills! Seems reasonable, so here I am! I also am open to offers or requests, if you see a game of mine but need it at a different time, send me a message! I have experiencing running the following games: Dungeons & Dragons 5e, Mothership, Call of Cthulhu, Vampire the Masquerade, Hunter the Reckoning, Cyberpunk and Kids on Bikes!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will be created after our session zero (or in the session zero if the players want) by making a character on DNDBeyond and then preferably the players will make a heroforge of their character so I can use it as their token in the game. Both of these services are without any costs and are completely free.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Our session zero will be a free session and not cost anyone any money. For the campaign, you'll need to have a DNDBeyond account, a discord account, a webcam, microphone and headphones as we play online in a video call. No other software or hardware is needed.
What GloriousGe0rge brings to the table
I'll be providing a discord server, a dndbeyond account with all the books unlocked, the campaign's art and visual materials, music, unique character voices, customized encounters and storytelling, ambient sound effects and a wide variety of virtual maps, plus my years of experience in running Curse of Strahd and helping new players get into the game.
Homebrew rules
Drinking a potion is a bonus action. Players can forgo death saves to enter into a sacrificial last stand. Ranged attacks on enemies within 5ft do not have disadvantage, but ranged attacks on others while an enemy is within 5ft do. When you cast a spell as a bonus action, you may still cast a leveled spell as an action on that same turn.
