About the adventure
"The carnival goes round and round, the multiverse, our playground, nothing's free and nothing's lost; every visit... has its cost.." A old dream, a repeating echo, these words come to you, again and again over the years, be it a dream, a nightmare, a memory, they come to you, haunt you; they are a part of you, just like your hand is part of your arm, they are there, imprinted upon your very being, only time will tell if you come to understand their meaning.. A wonderous carnival, the sound of boisterous laughter, twisted grins of a pair of old elves, a vague memory has surfaced from the depths of your mind, giggles and starlight seem to guide your way of late, a fog you never realized was there has lifted and an old ache has returned, a sharp and heavy weight on your heart, something you lost ages ago, you had forgotten the weight, the loss, the need to retrieve something you are unsure of, but the memoires are growing stronger; the echoing laughter of others carries on the wind, the words once spoken hum in your mind.. "Silly screeching cricket; you forgot to buy a ticket.." - ".. Every visit has its cost.." Your feet lead you to where you need to be, your mind warns you of things you have no memory of, but you know for sure, this is your chance to retrieve what has been lost, your chance to be whole after so long; but this time, this time you know well, one does not enter the Witchlight Carnival without payment of some kind, and you'll be damned if you'll lose something else.. Best be sure to grab a ticket this time around.. and do ignore that creeping shadow out the corner of your eye, that feeling of being watched, the rolling of fog that has been building of late; surely its nothing to worry about, right?.. ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ This game Starts with Beyond the Witchlight and transfers into a higher level and higher stakes run of Curse of Strahd! The option of Starhd's gender is chosen by the group when the game starts, the classic male Strahd or the wonderous female Strahd! Starting at 3rd level and goes to level 20!

About me
After a decade as a player, I've decided to try my hand at the metaphorical wheel, to be a DM for both new and seasoned adventures, offering to help pilot the story of wandering adventurers in a PbP format and NOW Live/Voice games; I tend to lean towards Roleplay heavy games, weaving together different official content and modules along with possible homebrew and your character’s backstory, I strive to run games that are character-first and allow your choices to impact the narrative. I welcome players, new to D&D, to play-by-post, or both. I'm patient and enjoy teaching. My table is safe, inclusive and welcoming of LGBTQA, PoC, and neurodivergent players; let’s go on adventure.. I offer to run most modules, if you don't see it on my list, reach out and there's a good chance I do or will; and am happy to run or make the game for any potential player(s). I run group games (Max 4 for PbPs), solo games (1:1), and Duos (1:2), if you haven't been able to find the PbP or Live game you wish or are dying to play, don't hesitate to reach out. .. and yes, the option for Spicy/18+/romance themes for PbP is real and available.

Creating your character
Character creation starts once you've chosen to join, you don't need any ideas or character before hand fully setup before hand, will go over the main bits and either craft your character or weave them into the story of the module with of course some fun twist and turns that will hopefully not just bring your character to life but allow for story-bits to be brought up or dealt with later on as we play. Starting level will be either 3rd unless we decide otherwise during on-boarding. Stats can be rolled in server or you can use point buy or the modified standard array: 17 16 15 13 11 9. We'll mainly be using Discord for voice and other bits, while using D&D Beyond for Map. Finally will be using the 2024 ruleset with legacy materials allowed with some 2014 rules also mixed in there. The main focus of the game is the story we create together, both with what's within the module and what we weave in; we will work together to tie your character's background into the world and story.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
To prepare, you simply need a Discord and D&D Beyond accounts as that is what will be used for voice, visuals, and character creations. - Again will go over more in server.
What Fallen brings to the table
I provide a organized and safe Discord server where you can be yourself and be around others who simply are looking for the same thing. Will provide links to D&D Beyond campaign where sheets can be made while sharing what content I have within the site. This, like all my games, while this game is live/voiced, I also do PbP (Play-by-post), I'm active throughout the week except on the Weekends where I take time for myself and recharge/plan. In regards to PbP, you can expect my time and patience along side my own creative spark when it comes to the Story and RP between us.
Homebrew rules
• Homebrew is very much an option for character creation. • Can cast more than one leveled spell a turn (Eg: Action: Guiding Blot - Bonus Action: Healing Word) • Drinking a potion is a Bonus Action

How Fallen creates a safe table
During on-boarding we’ll have an open discussion about boundaries, comfort levels, and use tools like Lines, Veils, and safe words to ensure everyone feels respected and empowered. The safety and comfort of all those involved is priority number 1.
