About the adventure

The Mists reach from the darkest shadows of the multiverse, condemning the wicked and the brave to endless nightmares as prisoners of the Domains of Dread. These grim netherworlds compose the Ravenloft setting and are horrific backdrops for Dungeons & Dragons adventures steeped in fear. In these haunted realms, adventurers might oppose villainous Darklords, seek escape from the Mists, or experience any terrifying adventure you can imagine.

Character creation

Creating your character

What to expect

Preparing for the session

A computer or phone are required to play, and you will need have a discord other than that use should be fine. I have taught many of brand-new players how to play and have played with many of gamers with even more knowledge than myself and we always seem to have a great time.

What DJ brings to the table

I use Discord, an roll20 and google drive (which has most game character sheets, players handbooks and such), from there we should be able to run almost any game we would like to play
