About the adventure
Welcome to a world of darkness and dread, where the very air is heavy with decay and the moon casts an eternal twilight. In this gothic horror setting, you will embark on a treacherous journey through Barovia, a cursed land ruled by the powerful vampire lord, Strahd von Zarovich. Prepare to confront your darkest fears, face relentless horrors, and challenge the very embodiment of evil. The setting of this adventure is unlike anything you've encountered before. Barovia is a realm shrouded in darkness, with traditions and norms that differ from the familiar landscapes of other D&D adventures. Here, even mundane actions may carry life or death consequences, and the world itself seems to conspire against you. Prepare to step into a realm where terror reigns, and where survival requires courage, wit, and unity.

About me
Hello and thanks for stopping by! My name is Luke and I am happy to meet you. Let me start by saying that I am a long time table top role play gaming enthusiest. I absolutely love playing and GM'ing fantasy games and getting to know and make friends with others who enjoy them too. My goal as a GM is to cultivate an environment where every player feels not only welcomed but celebrated for their unique contributions and has their opportunity to shine at the table. It's all about fun! Tabletop roleplaying is more than just a game for me, it’s a treasured experience filled with unforgettable moments as we dive into the world and tell our stories. I have had a passion for fantasy and roleplaying games since I was a teenager and believe they have the power to forge bonds, spark creativity, and ignite a sense of adventure in all of us. I’m excited to share that passion with you! Join me on this epic journey, and let's craft unforgettable stories together and build memories and friendships that will last a lifetime.

What GM Luke brings to the table
First and foremost my love for the game and the setting. I enjoy helping people write their own stories and bring them to life within the world. An inclusive and friendly atmosphere to help everyone feel comfortable and have the best campaign possible. Years of knowledge and experience with game mechanics, roleplaying and VTT functionality. I run a fully optimized Foundry table with effects, animations and audio. I do try and do voices for all NPC's although its a work in progress
