About the adventure
Bound by Fate Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Countess Strahda von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind's howling increases as she turns her gaze down toward the village of Barovia. Far below, yet not beyond her keen eyesight, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahda's face forms the barest hint of a smile as her dark plan unfolds. She knew they were coming, and she knows why they cameāall according to her plan. A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. The mistress of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner And you are invited. ~~~~ A classic horror campaign reimagined through the Daggerheart system. If you love gothic horror but find it difficult to explore in a mechanics-driven TTRPG, this is the campaign for you. Hope and Fear will drive the story in exciting directions - no railroads and no fearless fights. This isn't a hero's journey - this is a tragic tale enhanced by the system, not in spite of it. But above all else - it's YOUR story, written for and by you. š No system knowledge requiredājust a love of story š LGBTQ+ and neurodiverse friendly table https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BdoH3ay2fSCEFyDbeUEfknXoa7_56bYc/edit#heading=h.ynp9amjbtagp

About me
We have all had that moment where we encountered something that sparked our interest in TTRPGs: catching a glimpse of a fantasy cover art, connecting with a heroic character arc in a film, getting caught up in the grand story of a video game ā something that inspired us to say āI could do something like that!ā For me, that moment came one afternoon ten years ago when, after numerous failed starts, I resolved that if no else was willing to take the DMās chair, Iād just have to it myself. My whole life had led me to that moment and I havenāt looked back since. My name is J. Lawrence Kenny and in addition to a half decade of Dungeon Mastering, I hold a BFA in Theatre Performance and bring three decades of acting and storytelling experience to my table. Nothing brings me greater joy then when my party cheers, or gasps in horror, or let loose a string of expletives (or any combo of all three!) over a story moment I have spent hours devising just for them. Your characters will be personally tied into whatever is happening - their stories, their goals, will fuel and shape the events of the campaign. And, with a little luck, you will experience a complete character arc with a dramatic and satisfying conclusionā¦or at least be left with an interesting hook to carry onto the next adventure! At my table you will interact with memorable NPCs, explore unique and expansive worlds, and take center stage in compelling stories that will leave plenty of room for individuality and lateral thinking. Your character will always be the driving force; the underdog overcoming antagonists far beyond their limits, the everyman catapulted onto the stage of grand events, the hero who saves the world. The stories we create together will be far more interesting and fun than the stories we could create alone.
