About the adventure
Go up against two of the greatest evils the D&D multiverse has ever seen in this 1-20 campaign! We will begin in the mist cloaked lands of Barovia as our adventurers struggle to escape or even defeat the mighty vampire lord Strahd von Zarovich! If our heroes survive their trials in Barovia they will emerge into a multiverse in grave peril: the arch-lich Vecna is abroad once more and the multiverse may shatter at his touch! This campaign combines the famous and much beloved Curse of Strahd module with the upcoming Vecna: Eve of Ruin. Curse of Strahd runs from levels 1-10 and Eve of Ruin runs from 10-20.

About me
Hey all! I'm Jack, I'm a best selling adventure writer and professional GM with years of experience. I am all about narrative experiences, with the players at the centre, and I want to help you create the best adventure we possibly can! I've got years of experience running countless sessions of TTRPGs, for both my friends and for strangers. I obsess over the games when I'm not playing, always plotting and scheming elaborate set pieces and NPCs for my players to bamboozle and destroy.

How Jack S creates a safe table
In session 0 we will create characters and go over our safety tools and table rules. Players will have the opportunity to express their likes and dislikes as well any table rules they wish to implement. A consent form will be sent out to all players before the session 0 where players can express their lines and veils. We will use the X card system via either a spoken X, an X sent privately to the DM and safety cards on Foundry. If you're unfamiliar with any of these terms don't worry! They will all be explained in session 0 and are extremely straightforward.
