About the adventure
The mist closes in before you realize you’ve stepped into Barovia, a valley where the sun never rises and Death itself rules. Here, Death is no myth, an ancient figure who keeps the balance by claiming every soul meant to pass on. But something is breaking. Souls vanish before Death can reach them. The dead rise without purpose. Time stutters and shadows move on their own. A rogue shadow has risen to challenge Death’s dominion, claiming the mantle of the inevitable for themselves. This power struggle is tearing the valley apart, and when Death finally turns their hollow gaze upon you, you understand the truth: You can’t leave Barovia until the throne of Death is claimed, and you must help decide who sits on it.

About me
Hello, I've been playing D&D since 2018 although I was always interested on TTRPGs, During lock-down a group of online friends were looking to play but didn't know any GMs so I decided to step up to the plate and I've been GM ever since, I currently have a table that has been going on since 2020 and I've GM at event for a local store. GMing is the aspect of TTRPGs that has always called my attention, creating a story or world that players can interact with, weaving stories with the threads that characters create, I like playing the game but I love GMing!
