Whispers in the North... cold winds blow. Whole families have gone missing, and rumors of a dead returning back to life. Rumors of an ancient evil has returned, will you answer the call?

This your chance to play a level 20 character, one-shot for 3-4 hours.      

What?

• Trek to Barovia to Castle Ravenloft to defeat a ancient evil that has returned
• 1st hour role-play, 2-3 hours of hardcore combat in Talespire
• Gothic Horror style game

  When?

• Friday, 2/18, 5-9p EST
• Takes place in the year 442 (semi-persistent) with the ongoing story. Character death could happen.
• Game will be streamed.

  How?

• Level 20
• Start with 805,000 gp starting gold to buy equipment.
• Artifacts with listed "priceless" (like Hand of Vecna) are NOT available (helps simplify things for me).
• Once you got a character ready in DNDBeyond.com, feel free to link it over for final review.

  Who?

• Please have a stable connection. Anyone late on start time will not be allowed in, so being early or on-time for this game is required.  Zoom invite will go out 15 mins early
• I'm thinking max 7 players will be selected. 4 on day of play will needed to continue, otherwise it will be cancelled.
• High level of D&D experience required, so if you've played tier 3 or tier 4 play before (as DM or player).

  More info:

• I will be play testing with new legendary actions mechanics using action points and being able to spend them after any turn (buff to legendary actions/monsters, and simplifying the legendary actions). I will be creating the creature and rolling in  (too difficult/time consuming to create this creature in DND Beyond with their script since it is a custom creature)

• The creature will get total legendary actions = party size - 1. (A party of 7 = 6 legendary actions points.) (Also plus 3 action points as a standard creature.)
• I will most likely just be playing 1 monster due to the complexity of the fight.
• Chance of death is obviously high... but its ok, you're level 20... right??? right????
• Expect maximum cheese on both sides for combat.
• Just go with the flow as well ;) There will be blood.
• I don't know how overtuned/undertuned this fight will be b/c the monster was made by another DM, just have fun and fulfill your fantasy as playing a level 20.
