About the adventure

Hidden in thick mist is a realm of darkness harboring countless nightmares that stalk the land like man & you have been invited to dine with the Burgomaster. Should you feel obliged to honor his invitation you shall find yourself in the power of such dark forces that toy with you from the dark corners of the land. It is not for the faint of heart to visit Barovia and only a group of champions could hope to stand up to the forces of evil that haunt this land. Castle Ravenloft stands at the pinnacle casting its dark shadow and sending its fiends to terrorize the trapped citizens & always searching for those rare maidens that the master might take an interest in. Into the Mist is a Curse of Strahd campaign which benefits from the expanded realms of dread brought to us in Van Richten's guide to Ravenloft. Player's can expect a tough challenge in this adventure as we unravel the dark mystery behind one of D&D's most notable villains. This campaign will be of moderate length and will have plenty of tough combats, curious encounters with NPC's, and exploring the mists of Barovia and perhaps beyond the mist into other realms of dread. Stand up to Hordes of undead, lycanthropes, & evil spellcasters as you try and piece together the mysteries that unlock the path to victory.

Additional Details

How to prepare

Players should Ideally have a Mic if not Video Camera Capabilities as this will be an online experience. A Discord account would be welcome for Personal messages as well as group Conversations. We will be using Tale Spire which limits the need for dice but if you have them and want to roll them all the better, it is not necessary for all players to have Tale Spire as we can stream my point of view when needed. I do recommend everyone have a Character Sheet either physical or Digital and should they be needed I can produce your Sheet for you or send you a digital copy that you can either edit or print as you desire.

What I provide

I have generated battle maps in Tale Spire for an immersive experience (Note, You do not need a copy of Tale Spire to play.), I will happily make any Character desired in Hero Forge which could be used in Tale Spire. I have access to the source books and expanded ruleset as well as Van Richtens guide to Ravenloft, Fizban's Treasury of Dragons, & Stibbles Codex of Companions accessible for character options which can be provided on request.

Gameplay details

Players will be invited to a free Session 0 in order to iron out character creation, set expectations, & boundaries before game play. Players should have a basic understanding of rules as the pacing desired for this dark adventure is not conducive to learning the system.

How will character creation work

Pre-Generated Characters allowed, Unearthed Arcana welcome, Free Session 0 will go over character creation so a couple basic ideas would be welcome, this adventure will begin at Level 3 and running at least to Level 10. We may be expanding the realms of dread with the rules presented in Van Richtens Guide to Ravenloft potentially enabling more character growth before wrap up.
