🕯️ Grim Domains of Dread

A long-term Dark Horror Fantasy campaign set across the Domains of Dread, drawing heavily from Ravenloft, Grim Hollow, and plenty of homebrew.

The campaign will move through very different Domains and styles of horror rather than staying with one particular flavour throughout.

Expect:

• Different genres of horror / dark fantasy
• Exploration of different Domains of Dread
• Strong character stories and recurring NPCs
• Investigation, social encounters, survival and combat
• Player choices with lasting consequences
• Bastions as a permanent and important campaign feature
• Grim Hollow-style Transformations, where power comes with consequences

The tone is intended to be dark and immersive, but not relentlessly miserable. There should still be people worth helping, victories worth earning, and reasons for the characters to care about what happens.

🧙 Character Creation

And no — you do not need to create a grim, antisocial murder-machine because this is Ravenloft.
The party still has to function as a party.

Please do not create a character before Session Zero.

This campaign uses a significant amount of homebrew, including additional character mechanics and expanded transformation rules. These elements are substantial enough that they may change or invalidate character concepts made using standard rules alone.

So for now, wait for Session Zero.

We will discuss character creation together once everyone knows what options actually exist.

I currently have 4 players confirmed and I'm looking for 2 more.

If this sounds like the sort of campaign you would enjoy, send me a message with a little about your D&D experience, what you enjoy most in a campaign, and what kind of game you are hoping to join.
