The Blood Moon Rises Over Barovia - Curse of Strahd

Creating your character

Please have a general description like ( Species, Class, Background) of your character and add those details to the D&D Beyond link, you will get, before session 0. On session 0, we can iron the missing details and questions on your character. You can always contact me, if you have a question or require help creating your character. For STATS you will use the Standard Array. No rolling or point buy. This is done to make the process simpler for players with less experience. Species should be from the following books: PHB (2014), MPMM, TCE, Fizban's. Class: Any (2014) class from the available resources in my D&DBeyond is valid. Multi class is allowed for up to 1 extra class ( total of 2 classes per character) Characters will use Milestones to level up. Only Backgrounds that grant feats are not allowed. The game will start at level 1 and proceed around level 10, depending on the quests the party will complete.

Preparing for the session

Have/ get a good microphone. Have/ get a stable internet connection. A functioning computer or otherwise device with a web browser is required ( chrome / firefox / whatever you use) Create an account on roll20, dndBeyond and discord, if you don't have one already. Have an idea of your character before session 0 ( like species and / or class)

How Greg creates a safe table

There will be a session 0, in which the group will discuss the GM's playstyle, table rules as well as expectations. All players shall talk about their expectations from the game, group and DM. There will be an X card on the Roll20 VTT, which ALL player will be able to use. If drawn ( the player(s) who drew it shall not be named or otherwise outted), the group take a break and the DM will talk with the affected player(s) in a private chat. There will be at least one break during the game session. More breaks depends on group wishes.
