The 8th level group consisting of a Harengon Giant Path Barbarian, a Watcher Paladin Astral Elf and a Humblewood Mustel Battlemaster is looking for 2 more additions to their party in their fight against their demise in the mistfilled land of barovia, ruled by the vampire Count Strahd Von Zarovich, Barovia is a land that forgot how to dream, hope, and fight against this terrible evil. Windows remain closed at all hours of the night as terrified villagers hide in their homes, wondering if life will ever be the same. The wilderness are untamed and brimming with dangerous creatures. Ruins and tragedy are carved in the landscape and the moans of lost souls are carried far and wide by icy winds.

A little warning though: Intrepid adventurers and sadistic murderhobos don’t last long in Barovia. Don’t tread from the beaten path unless you have good reason to, and don’t alienate or antagonize NPCs if you can avoid it. Make more friends than enemies. Don’t go searching for treasure, fortune, or fame - because you will probably die a horrible death. Remember that you are not your character, and invest real time in developing their thoughts, personality, and motivation. Externalize failure, and use setbacks or defeat as an opportunity to explore your character’s perspective and personal growth. Play smart. Many of the enemies in this adventure cannot be overcome easily in direct combat. Use guile, preparation, subterfuge, diplomacy, and research to achieve your goals. Spend time engaging with the other characters, even when not discussing plans, tactics, or objectives. Learn about their fears, their perspectives, and their experiences. Build meaningful relationships, not apathetic battle teams. Outside goals are hard (if not impossible) to achieve in Barovia. It's worth working with your DM to create a character driven to Barovia for some purpose that can only be fulfilled within its borders. Make sure to speak with your DM about how to shape your backstory into something that can be relevant in the world of Barovia. Try to remove yourself from the “XP and loot” model of progression in traditional campaigns and video games, and instead try to enjoy the narrative progression of winning allies, fulfilling objectives, and advancing the story of the campaign and player characters. Don't try to play an apathetic or evil player character unless you are 100% sure that you can pull it off while being a supportive team player and engaging the story like a normal PC. Seriously. You'll make this adventure a lot more difficult and unenjoyable for your DM, and you'll be cheating yourself out of a fun experience. You don't need to play a knight in shining armor, but you definitely shouldn't play a villain. Curse of Strahd, as-written, is full of disturbing and graphic content. If you are potentially triggered by elements of child abuse, murder, stalking, gaslighting, racism, torture, mind control, cannibalism, situations paralleling sexual assault, child death, references to stillbirth/miscarriage, abuse of those with disabilities or mental illness, animal cruelty, body horror, child abandonment, portrayals of alcoholism or drug abuse, potential incest, implied necrophilia, or suicide.
Lemme know if you´re interested and if you have any questions. Please DM me your Discord name, so i can get in touch with you.

If your game is still open, I would love to join this party. Seems like fun and a campaign I have never got to finish completely so would be nice to make it towards the end. My name is Chris and my discord is: hino.seno
I would love to partake in your game, tho i was wondering if you would allow subclasses from other sources than the players handbook?
If I could join i would love to ( I am aware i didnt post my discord but if you would be interested in getting in touch you could maybe write me yours?)
