About the adventure
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. Far below, yet not beyond his keen eyesight, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd’s face forms the barest hint of a smile as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they came. All according to his plan. 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. __________________________________________________________ This epic campaign will be utilizing the Curse of Strahd Setting along with my own and YOUR creations. Player Characters will begin at level 1 and level throughout the weekly campaign.

About me
😄 Thanks for stopping by! My name is Summy, I'm a massive storytelling nerd from British Columbia who specializes in providing a safe, inclusive table for all players to enjoy cinematic storytelling together. I've been a TTRPG player and GM for more than half my life. My passion is running TTRPG games within the genres of gothic and folk horror, as well as high and dark fantasy, with the occasional zany adventure as a breath of fresh air. My favorite official D&D settings are Barovia (for creating). Join one of my campaigns if you're looking for a consistent game run by an enthusiastic and experienced GM with a strong belief in professional ethics as well as creating a welcoming environment for all! Just note I am intolerant to intolerance!

How Summy creates a safe table
Session 0 will take place over Discord (Link will be sent!) This is where we will go over character creation, lines and veils, safety tools, and get to know one another! If you don't feel comfortable doing a voice or acting in the game, that is totally ok! We are here to have fun, so do what would be most fun for you! We will be using D&D classes and characters and the campaign will likely go from Level 1-13. Please let me know if you're hoping to use some homebrew materials so we can incorporate them into the world together :)
