About the adventure
Step into a world shrouded in darkness, where the line between nightmare and reality blurs, and the chilling embrace of gothic horror beckons. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable tabletop experience, as the realm of Dungeons and Dragons collides with the twisted beauty of the Curse of Strahd's Death House module, meticulously transformed to deliver an immersive tale like no other. Outside the desolate village of Barovia, surrounded by mist-shrouded forests and ancient secrets, a foreboding presence looms. Durst Manor, a dilapidated manor consumed by the macabre, stands as a cursed relic of a forgotten era. Whispers of tragedy and despair echo through its decaying halls, while unsettling shadows dance on the walls like specters of the past. As dusk settles and the mists approach ever closer, you and your companions will delve into the depths of this haunted abode. Every step you take will unravel an intricate tapestry of dark mysteries, demanding your courage, wit, and resilience. Prepare to unearth long-buried secrets, confront vengeful and melancholic spirits, and face the horrors underneath the house. This is an invitation to immerse yourself in a twisted symphony of gothic horror and fantasy. Be prepared to face moral dilemmas that tug at the core of your being, and to witness the duality of human nature as it succumbs to the allure of darkness. The Death House module has been painstakingly modified, weaving together elements of horror, suspense, and fantasy to create an experience that will send shivers down your spine and ignite your imagination. Will you dare to enter the realm of Death House, where shadows writhe and nightmares become reality? Take up your dice, embrace the darkness, and embark on a journey that will test your mettle as heroes, your sanity as individual, and your bonds as a group. Sign up now, and become part of a gaming experience that will linger in your memories long after the final die is cast. The curse awaits, and your destiny beckons amidst the fog-laden streets of Barovia. Are you ready to face your fears?
Additional Details
How to prepare
A mic is required but having a webcam is optional. A webcam is preferred so everyone can see each other but if you're not feeling comfortable with that then it is alright. Basic D&D 5e rules will be used as a foundation and if anything comes up within the session then I will let you know. You do not need to create characters when we meet. That can be discussed in session 0. You do need discord and a function computer/laptop to run Foundry VTT. You do not need to bring your own dice since we will be using dice on Foundry.
What I provide
I will have everything set up on Foundry VTT.
Gameplay details
Players can expect a dark and gritty horror adventure while they explore Durst Manor and uncover its secrets. We will discuss any triggers and red flags that need to be avoided in session 0 but at its core and I will do my best to work around them. However, at its core, it is a horror adventure, so if there are too many triggers/red flags then I would recommend looking for another adventure. There is mystery, sadness, and pain but if your characters do not succumb to the darkness, there is a chance for hope and redemption. Your characters will be at the forefront of investigating whatever curse holds the manor and will try to dispel it. Or dying trying.

How will character creation work
Your characters will start at level 1 and expect to end the adventure at level 3. You are welcome to create the characters yourself or use Foundry VTT to create them with my help. I will need your character tokens and an optional short voice line for your characters for whenever it is their turn in combat. We can discuss character creation in session 0.
