About the adventure

You've played Curse of Strahd before, but not like this. This time, he's brought your party in to take out a group of pesky adventurers that have captured his bride in order to "rescue" her from him. While the would-be rescuers are amusing, Strahd is far too busy to deal with such a trivial annoyance, therefore it's your job to track them down, take them out, and bring the woman home to Ravenloft where she belongs. Yes, there will be obstacles, as Strahd can't be expected to call off every dire wolf and undead that might get in your way, but surely your party will be able to overcome such things. And if not, well, Strahd can always find someone else.

Additional Details

How to prepare

You will need a free Roll20 account for maps and gameplay, and a Discord account for voice and chat, with a working microphone. I don't use video, (although you can if you like) so don't worry about having a camera. Digital dice can be rolled in Roll20, on D&D Beyond, or you can use your own physical dice and call out the numbers - dice goblins welcome!

What I provide

I will create game tokens for your characters unless you supply your own. I will provide all maps and handouts via Roll20.

Gameplay details

We will go over all of the warnings during Session 0 and draw hard lines through things that are unacceptable to players. Despite the overall horror theme of this module, phobias are real and I want everyone to be able to play and have a good time. I use Discord for all voice and chat, so players can use the Discord PM to send me a private note anytime they need to discuss something or call a timeout. Aftercare will be tailored to the player's need and will be gone over during Session 0. You will need a free Roll20 account for maps and combat.

How will character creation work

Characters should be created beforehand and I am willing to walk anyone through character creation anytime before the game, and to go over any concerns at that time. If you join mid-campaign, I'll let you know what level your character should be. I will have premade characters available for anyone undecided or dropping in at the last moment. You can create characters in D&D Beyond and import them into Roll20 - I have a video linked in Discord on how to do that - or make or import your own in Roll20.
