Ive been needing a little more DND in my life and finally decided to start running another game! I have run Curse of Strahd 1.5 times before (had a group end after my work schedule shifted and i was forced to cancel the game) and id love to put another group together to adventure into Barovia
Adventure info
Bound by Fate
Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Count 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 smle as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they came—all according to his plan.
A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. The master of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner
And you are invited.
The adventure runes levels 1-10 however I do have some homebrew/community created modifications to enhance the adventure and plan on having the characters level up to 12-13. If you are unfamiliar with this adventure it is less a high fantasy adventure, and more of a gothic horror. The party is trapped in Barovia, a domain ruled by the Dark Lord Strahd. Resources are limited, the setting can be dark and grim (abduction, murder, torture, etc may occur), Im not going to be super graphic or anything, but Barovia is designed to be an unsettling environment. If your not comfortable with a darker vibe this might not be the right game for you (that doesn't mean we wont have fun or get funny at times - its just a dark setting)
Schedule: For this game im planning on hosting weekly at 7pm (pacific time) on Wendsday evenings. Occasionally there may be a week off due to my work schedule. Sessions will run 3-4 hours Session 0 will be Feb 1st and the first session will be two weeks later on the 15th (I have a work event on the 8th)
About Your DM: My name is Beri im 34 years old, i work as a chef and live in Northern California. Ive been playing 5e for about 8 years and started DMing after about a year of playing. Ive run several smaller campaigns including CoS once fully and a second time a over half way before i was forced to give up the game do to my work schedule changing.
How I run my Games: I enjoy all three pillars of play from tactical combat, engaging role play and even exploring/travel and this adventure has all 3. I do my best to tie in characters to the plot of the story as best I can so everyone is engaged to the plot.
My set up for DND: I run my games using Discord for Voice chat so please have a mic and headphones
We will Create characters using D&DBeyond (I have all the character options available and a master tier subscription until it expires in may)
We will play using Foundry VTT
If you havnt used foundry before, its web based like roll20 but does require a computer with windows 10/11, MacOS Big Sur or later, or Linux atleast 8gb of ram, and its recommended you have a mouse, Foundry is a little finicky with track pads. I havnt used foundry in a while so it might take me a get to everything set up exactly how I want it but I have it set up to be pretty self automated with spell animations and stuff too.
Rules for character creation:
Point buy/standard array for stats
Any race or lineage is available from the published material
Any published class/subclass from official books
Free feat at lvl 1 (unless your background is from strixhaven or dragonlance)
Standard starting equipment or can choose to have starting gold to shop for equipment (if you only have no armor or light armor proficiencies you start with 125gp and if you are proficient with medium or heavy armor you get 175)
I do also have some additional house rules I use at my table for Character creation:
I have a spell list for each sorcerer bloodline similar to the Tasha’s, Warlocks can choose to be INT biased casters, Warlocks gain subclass spells automatically, and I do have one subclass I nerf slightly-twilight cleric
Most Important Rule at my table:
– Don’t be a dick, don’t be rude or disrespectful to me or other players
