About the adventure
Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Countess Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind’s howling increases as he turns his gaze down toward the village of Barovia. Far below, yet not beyond his keen eyesight, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd’s face forms the barest hint of a smile as her dark plan unfolds. She knew they were coming, and she knows why they came—all according to her plan. A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. The mistress of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner. And you are invited.

About me
Hi, I''m, the Vintage DM! I'm a huge nerd who loves all things DND or fantasy related. I have been playing DND for close to a decade now, and have been DMing for about 5 years. I love testing the limits of games and will always be here for the rule of cool. As a dm, I love to focus on the players and their characters backstories, letting them fall in love with their characters. My style is a healthy mix of combat and roleplay, depending on the game.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
We will start at the current party level, and I will do a call or text session with everyone individually in order to help set up characters, and go over rules and your consent sheet. I’m okay with you making your character through DND beyond, Aurora, pen and paper, napkin, whatever works best for you.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please have a discord account and a working microphone. I would like for you to have a working camera but it is not necessary and I won’t push for it. We will go over everything before the game starts.
What The Vintage DM brings to the table
I bring 10 years of experience, books, Aurora, Roll20 or OMM, consent sheets, aftercare, and more! I love creating environments for you to explore in and love when players stump me as the DM. I’m a very rule of cool DM, I allow physical dice and sheets, and am always open to ideas! I try to do voices and use music but I do it when I can

How The Vintage DM creates a safe table
We use XNO cards, I have a consent sheet for everyone to fill out, we do aftercare at the end of each game, and I am always here to answer questions. This is a game with female Strahd so please be aware of that before hand
