About the adventure
------------------------------ Wayward Souls, Taken by the Mists ------------------------------ In this Pathfinder 2e campaign, our Mistbound Travelers found themselves trapped within Durst Manor. Though wit and trickery, they outsmarted the traps and horrors that lurked within. Only to find themselves in a strange new land upon exiting the rapidly crumbling manor. Tired and wounded, they braved this strange land. And found themselves overlooking a lush and morose valley. And castle with spires like spears piercing the sky looming over a humble village. Ready yourselves, weary wanderers. For the journey ahead will test your mettle, and courage, in equal measure. ------------------------------ A Classic Tale, ReVamped! ------------------------------ A quincentennial tale of gothic horror, dark obsessions, and heroism in a land subjugated by the night. Curse of Strahd, and it's predecesor; I6 Ravenloft, are one of the greatest stories in tabletop history. In this Pathfinder 2nd Edition adaptation and expansion, you find yourself a guest in the dark land of Barovia, where monster and best of the night prowl and hunt unchallenged. You will need to arm yourself with virtue, and seek knowledge of this realm's master, if you are to ever depart. Else you submit to ruin, and join the host of the dead that serve him. ------------------------------ My AI Policy: 100% Human Made. Always ------------------------------ There won't be any use of GenAI or its derivatives in this campaign. This applies to me, as your Game Master, as well as to all participating players.

About me
With 16 years of experience as a game master, I have guided countless adventurers through the twists and turns of many fantastic stories. My journey began with Pathfinder 1st Edition, and over the years, I expanded my horizons to include Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, OSR games, and narrative-driven systems. Nowadays, I focus primarily on Pathfinder 2nd Edition, where I specialize in crafting immersive narratives that make players feel like an integral part of the story. I believe in the power of collaboration, weaving my player's ideas into the game to create a truly unique and engaging experience for everyone at the table.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
------------------------------ The Basics ------------------------------ - Bring character concepts of flawed Individuals, who strives to overcome their vices and be better, but find the prospect harrowing and difficult. - Ensure your character works well with others, as cooperation with your fellow travelers, and potential allies in the dark lands of Barovia, may be the key to their survival. - Collaborate with me as your GM, and your fellow players, to ensure your concept fits the themes of the campaign. This will be done over discord, during session 0, and via text afterwards. ------------------------------ The Mechanics ------------------------------ - Your character will start at the same level, and with the same XP amounts, as the rest of the party. - All Common characters options are allowed and welcomed. Uncommon and Rare options need to be discussed with the Game Master ahead of selecting them. - Additional equipment based on your level and class will be provided by the Game Master.
------------------------------ The Mistbound Wanderers ------------------------------ - Cecelia Radavack (Gnome/Dwarf Maestro Bard), played by Emily. - Grayson (Human/Elf Blood Necromancer), played by Zwoid. - Morgan (Human Animal-Instinct Barbarian), played by Laura. Current Party Level: 1

How Nando creates a safe table
🔺Session 0. This session will be used to establish boundaries, review the list of content warnings for the game, and foster a cohesive understanding of what should and should not be included in the game. 🔺Consent Checklists will be provided in advance of session 0, to ensure all players have ample chance to list the topics they would feel most comfortable leaving out of the narrative. Please review the content warnings below, to ensure all are viable for you to experience. 🔺X-Cards. These are integrated into the tabletop, allowing players to discreetly inform the GM only if they need to distance themselves from a topic in the scene. 🔺Aftercare. I'll conduct individual check-ins with players to help them overcome game-related issues as they arise, and encourage others to take care of their party members as well. 🔺Breaks. Short breaks will be added to all sessions, allowing participants time to rest and refresh before continuing their adventure.
