About the adventure
Enter the mists of Barovia, a land ruled by fear, superstition, and the immortal vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich. In this gothic horror campaign, survival is never guaranteed as ancient curses, haunted villages, twisted creatures, and deadly secrets lurk in every shadow. Will your party bring hope to a doomed land, or perhaps become the next souls trapped forever within the mists?

About me
Hello! My name is Tyler, I’ve been an avid player of D&D and Pathfinder for over 20 years and have been a dedicated Dungeon Master for over 15 of those. As the forever DM for my real-life groups, I bring extensive experience in running Modules, Adventure Paths, and creating Homebrew content. I also have a strong background in improvisation and minor voice acting, which I incorporate into my games to enhance the experience. I’m highly proficient with Roll20, having logged over 1,600 hours on the platform. My goal is to make every session memorable and engaging for all players. DM Style: I adhere to the “rule of cool”—if it doesn't disrupt the game, I'm all for allowing it. We won’t be bogging down the fun with meticulous tracking of rations or ammunition.

Homebrew rules
Explain what your doing, if you give a good enough explanation, it could lower the DC. Potions do max healing & are only a Bonus Action, but will be a little more rare. Detect magic can be used as a ritual and instead makes magic items glow faintly Rolling a nat 20 on skill checks auto succeeds if possible. (Nat 1 us a auto fail) Rolling a nat 20 on initiative puts you to the top. (Nat 1 is a auto fail) Physical dice are fine to use, just use the honor system. Flanking gives advantage
