About the adventure
~This game has a Trial period, the first 4 sessions will be at $5 so you can see if you mesh with me as a DM and the other players, Then it rises to my standard rate of $25 if you wish to continue.~ Official description from Wizards of the Coast: Unravel the mysteries of Ravenloft in this dread adventure for the world’s greatest roleplaying game Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind’s howling increases as he turns his gaze down toward the village of Barovia. A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. The master of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner—and you are invited. Curse of Strahd is produced by Wizards of the Coast. It was written by Chris Perkins, edited by Kim Mohan and Jeremy Crawford, and art directed by Kate Irwin. The adventure incorporates material from the original Ravenloft adventure as well as new story content created by Tracy and Laura Hickman, Chris Perkins, Adam Lee, Richard Whitters, and Jeremy Crawford. Written in consultation with Tracy Hickman and Laura Hickman, creators of the original Ravenloft adventure.

About me
Hi, my name is Ergo , I'm a 33-year-old Game master looking to make an actual career in this community. My Creative background began in childhood getting lost in book after book and wanting to have an impact on the world and help the protagonists in their journey. I started playing ttrpg's in 2015 and of course, became the forever GM because no one else wanted to do it. Thus began the creation of my own worlds and the characters that fill them. I love to make games that have heavy player involvement. Want a thieves guild in the city? Done. Wizards tower in the desert? Done. Space station taken over by androids? Already have a name for it. Narrative matters the most to me but boy do I love some crunchy combat.

Creating your character
We will have a Session 0 in which we make characters together to better tie you and the other players to the world and each other. This will count as the first of the 4 Trial period sessions. If you join later we will have the Onboarding session 0 and will pay the full price of $25 but will have 4 sessions at the Trial cost of $5 (This is due to too many people spending 2 hours of my time for session 0 and then pulling no shows so I can at least get something for my time) We will use Tasha's rules for racial stat allocation if you don't choose one of the races changed new multiverse book. Stats will be the array or rolled, but if you roll you will have to abide by the roll unless it's a dumpster fire (Multiple negatives and a highest of 14) You can roll for HP or take the average but will have to abide by the roll.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a Mic, a discord account, a roll20 account, and headphones as I use music and other audio aids. We will discuss webcams in session 0 but will not be required.
What Ergo brings to the table
I bring the Module in Roll20, I bring most player content in the roll20 compendium, I bring 8 years of experience GM'ing, and I bring a safe and inclusive space to play and have fun.
