About the adventure
The Mists of Barovia seem to almost be alive, having swallowed a prominent adventuring party for the Dreadlord Strahd von Zarovich to torment. Your party has been assembled and hired by Stanimir, a seemingly wealthy caravan leader to not only help locate and rescue this party, but to help free not only the Dreadlord of his curse, but Barovia of it as well. Be warned adventurers, your actions will have consequences, the Dreadlord's forces work against you, and there's plenty of horror that awaits you. This campaign is based on the module Curse of Strahd! This will be a very dark fantasy story with a fair amount of adjustments to the original story, bringing a new twist and tale to a classic D&D module! Session Zero is Free!

About me
Hi! My name is Aman, I've been playing D&D5e since about 2016! My experience with games is unfortunately narrow to that system at this point in time but I'd love to eventually branch out from just 5e. That being said, I have run many modules and homebrew games alike for my friends and family over the years. My hope is to run enjoyable games for veterans and new players alike!

Creating your character
Character creation will be done during session 0! Here's what you should expect! • Rolled Stats • Starting Level 5 • Character Sheets created on Roll20 • I'm fairly lenient with allowing content from other books or homebrew, but it's subject to my revisions, rejection, or rebalancing in game. I love homebrew, but I want to make sure we have a balanced game!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Make sure you have accounts on Discord and Roll20, and be at least acquainted with both softwares.
What Aman Phantom brings to the table
• A mandatory Session 0 - Character creation, safety tools, introductions, and other information • Background Music through Kenku.FM • A Living Breathing World with consequences and rewards • Character Voices hopefully consistently • Safety Tools • LGBTQIA+ Friendly Table • Module Maps
Homebrew rules
Homebrew rules will be gone over at session 0, but some big ones: • Crunchy Crits! (Max Dice + Rolled Dice + Modifiers) • Crafting Rules inspired by KibblesTasty's Homebrew System • Crucible of Fate (Inspired by High Rollers DM Mara)

How Aman Phantom creates a safe table
Before and During Session 0, I'll give everyone a Lines and Veils RPG safety google form so I can adjust the story to make sure the campaign doesn't breach comfortability. We'll use discord for X and N cards. I'll be available after each game for a short while for a bit of a cooldown as well! Naturally, Curse of Strahd navigates many horror themes and content warnings, so the Lines and Veils form will be very important!
