About the adventure
The mists have claimed you. There is no road home. Beyond the veil lies Barovia—a land where the sun is little more than a memory, hope is a dangerous luxury, and every shadow hides something hungry. You are not the first to wander into these cursed lands. You may not be the last. Stand against creatures born of nightmare. Uncover forgotten truths. Protect those who still dare to hope, and gather the strength to challenge the darkness that rules this valley. Every village hides a secret. Every choice carries a cost. Every step draws the Devil's gaze. You can run. You can hide. But sooner or later... Count Strahd von Zarovich will come to meet you. Welcome to Barovia. Pray the mists never let you leave.

About me
Hello and welcome, I'm Avix, I am a lover of many things including TTRPGs, video games, Fantasy, FanFiction, and more. My journey into tabletop RPGs began in early 2011, and since then I've been deeply involved in TTRPGs. With several years of experience as both a Game Master and player, I bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to the table. As a GM I love to craft not only immersive, beautiful worlds, but engaging stories with you. Stories that, through your in-game actions, backstories, choices, and more, focus on what we want to tell together. I invite you to join me as we create better worlds and stories.

How Avix creates a safe table
We will be using the RPG Consent Checklist from Consent in Gaming by Monte Cook for players to upload any triggers that they may directly to the GM, a master list will be provided with no indicators as to who submitted which triggers once all players have provided this information. I keep an Open Door policy so that players may come to me at any time to discuss anything regarding the game and we will work together to resolve. At the end of each session we will discuss the session and ensure that everyone is happy with how things have progressed as well as to iron out any issues. We will be using the Burn Bryte Safety Card Add-on for Roll20 for our X, N, and O cards for use during sessions.
