About the adventure
In the oppressive shadows of Castle Ravenloft, the people of Barovia endure life under the tyrannical rule of Count Strahd Von Zarovich. The cursed mists that shroud this land are a constant menace, deterring the common folk from daring to traverse them. The night is perilous, and if asked, the Barovians are certain that monsters are real. In this bleak realm, hope is but a faint glimmer, with many forsaking their faith and succumbing to despair, feeling the relentless grip of the Curse of Strahd. Some may whisper of dark powers even older than Strahd’s that entrap the people of this domain. Yet, something has drawn you here, be it duty, curiosity, or even destiny.

About me
Hello, friend, wanna roll some dice? My name is Leandro Cornelsen, and I've been playing RPGs for the last 11 years now. I love to create maps, tokens, and, most of all I love to DM for my friends. My main goal while playing is to make everyone at the table have a good time, and to relax in a safe space where we roleplay and let the dice guide our fun. So, what are you waiting for? Let's play RPG!

Creating your character
During session 0 we will create the party's sheet in Foundry VTT. The key is crafting a character that not only brings joy to your gameplay but also enhances the overall experience for everyone at the table. I can assist you with character creation, or if you'd rather, I can also handle the sheet creation for you.
