About the adventure

This campaign holds a special place in my life. The gothic fantasy theme is something I enjoy reading in my free time. I've GMed it five times, three to completion, converted to other systems and got extra material to make it even better. When I run Curse of Strahd, I remake maps with higher quality ones and add some extra content if the players wish. My sessions are usually a light-hearted experience, easy-going and focusing on having a good time, though in dark fantasy settings such as this one, I try to provide a good time in one more specific way: through immersion. I have ran this conversion before, all of it made by hand. It worked like a charm and everyone had fun with it.

About me

🎲 Professional GM since 2021, rolling since 2011! ⚔️ 10+ years of adventures TTRPGs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I love meeting new players, sharing laughs over dice rolls, and building those friendships that somehow survive a TPK. My tables are designed to be chill, safe, and welcoming; a place where you can relax, have fun, and make memories (or terrible decisions, both are valid). Of course, it's not all chaos. I make sure every player's idea matters. Whether you want epic combat, deep roleplay, fun banter (or just want to roast my NPC names), there's a seat at my table for you. 🎲 What's it like at my table? 🎲 "Make a Perception check." "I got a 3." (player stares into the void) "You see nothing. Absolutely nothing." And we're just getting started!

Character creation

Creating your character

• Players can create their characters using any ancestry and class, regardless of rarity. Backgrounds are common only, with exceptions based on player request. • I allow most uncommon items/features, feel free to ask. Rare is a little more restrictive but might still be allowed. • Variant Rules: Ancestry Paragon and Free Archetype.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

• Decent microphone • Decent internet • Consistent schedule. • Discord to use voice chat (account is required).

What Lucas brings to the table

• I will bring all what you need in Foundry and an extensive knowledge of the rules of the system. While I know most of the system from the top of my head, sometimes I might need to make a quick search. • I will also automate Foundry beyond the default automation.

Homebrew rules

I have a document that includes a few suggested changes, such as picking Archetype Skill Feats as Archetype Feats, Recall Knowledge suggestions etc.
