About the adventure
š»Experience Barovia at its most dismal š§āāļøBattle werewolves and vampire spawn š²Save a town from the monsters in the woods š Find a way to get back home You're not from around here, are you, stranger? The mists have dragged you in, whisked you away while you were traveling through the Quivering Forest. When you stepped out of the endless fog, you found yourself in a grey, dismal land where the sun never shines and terrors stalk the night. This isn't FaerĆ»n, the Sword Coast, home. Where are you? "The duchy of Barovia. The domain of Lord Strahd von Zarovich, may he be healthy and well," the villagers tell you with a shaky voice. A land surrounded by a wall of impenetrable fog, and a village with endless problems for you to solve! This campaign will undertake 13 misadventures in the sad, lonely little town of OraČnou, including: -finding lost trappers before the blizzard kills them, and be caught up in a murder mystery! -saving the village from the worst, most terrifying threat of all: Lord Strahd's tax season! -battling an army of the dead, and puzzling through an ancient prophesy!

About me
Hello, Iām Dev! Iāve been a DM for seven years now, running both long term campaigns and one shots. I am very passionate about creating an immersive online experience, with great maps, music, and sound effects. Iāve been running online games for many years now, and feel very confident in my techniques and creating a fun and awesome game. I love running epic combats, high tier play, and role playing. Right now I am only running DnD 5e 2014 rules.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players need a working mic and access to a computer. The game will be held over discord and roll20, so you will need an account on both. Players will need to make their character sheet ahead of time in roll20 or dndbeyond. If dndbeyond, they will need to have the chrome extension beyond20.
What Dev Alva brings to the table
I work hard to provide an immersive online experience for my players. I use music and soundscapes to set the mood. I use imagery for theatre of the mind roleplay, and beautiful maps from various sources for combat and exploration. I am constantly improving my roll20 room with effects and visuals for you all to enjoy. I make sure to give everyone a chance for their character to shine, and play to their strengths and abilities. In my games you can expect challenging combat, great improvisation, and an immersive world to play in. I put player agency and involvement first, and I want to emphasize the fact that this game is a cooperative environment between myself and the players. This is a very open world campaign, determined by which direction your characters want to go in. I run my games RAW, or rules as written. I do have one homebrew rule where drinking a potion is a bonus action.
