Curse of Strahd: A Gothic Adventure

Creating your character

We'll do character creation in session 0, but feel free to prepare one in advance if you want. We'll be using the point buy system, starting at level three, and we'll put the character sheets into Roll20 for easy rolling once the game is going. If you'd prefer to use DnD Beyond that's fine, but you'll also want the Beyond20 plugin to hook your character into the Roll20 campaign. Feel free to use any official source books for character stuff, but just let me know if you intend to use something from outside the default player's handbook so we can make sure it's all a good fit and I can read up on anything esoteric :)

Preparing for the session

You'll need a Roll20 account and a Discord account. We'll be using Roll20 for the maps and the dice, and Discord for voice/video. This means you'll need to have Discord installed and downloaded, and a working microphone. A webcam isn't required at all, but feel free to use one if you want. A basic understanding of the rules would be helpful, but don't worry too much about it - if we need to look things up, we'll look things up, not a problem. As mentioned above, you don't need to come with a character prepared, but if you do then be aware it'll need entering onto Roll20 or you'll need the Beyond20 plugin.

What Steve K brings to the table

I'll be bringing a professional Roll20 account, maps, tokens, rulebooks, everything we need to get the game going.

How Steve K creates a safe table

- Rules and dice rolls are to enhance the fun, not constrain it; expect the dice to take a back seat to fun roleplaying. - Session 0 is for introductions, rolling characters, and defining limits. - X, N, O cards can be messaged in private to the DM and will be acted upon with complete anonymity. - Basically: be nice, have fun, don't try and ruin anyone else's fun.
