Unlike any Curse of Strahd campaign out there. This version is a total and complete rewrite. Even veteran players who once conquered Barovia are welcomed back for this exhilarating and new experience. But be warned - this curse isn't like any you have seen before.. In this campaign all the following changes are by a paid service/subscription or completely original. This will exponentially highlight your experience into a brand new taste of Curse of Strahd. -Heavy (I MEANY HEAVY) rewrite of the lore and background of Curse of Strahd. -Creatures reimagined: beyond the homebrew, traditional creatures such as ghosts have all been reflavored. This doesn't just include their stat blocks but also their behavior, characteristics, and lore. Use the handy dandy "Codex" to record your encounters against the supernatural or learn from experienced hunters. This new system encourages strategic gameplay and synergy with your party. -More than 20 boss fights, all completely original or reimagined. -Animated battlemaps -Animated Tokens -10 new classes + 150 subclasses -100+ new magic items -Brand New Alchemy System for crafting elixirs-on-the-go! -Additional systems for added variety of play -Soundboard -Cutscenes! -Custom artwork -Interactive Maps -Dozens of amazing modules and scripts to enhance your gameplay such as animated effects, auto-math, interacting with shopkeepers, and plenty more!  -Original and innovative puzzles  -Guest Stars  -On call technician for backend support  -And of course you already know - More To Come! I have worked hard and diligently and poured quite a bit of resources into developing this campaign into what it is today. With all that said, I feel confident that it will be an amazing experience and I am so excited to hear you (hopefully!) validate that for me. That being said, I find that even with all this work - the most important factor when it comes to a successful campaign... is the players. It is my duty to screen through all the applicants and put together a party that I feel like will be most compatible with each other and respectful to the expectations and responsibility of this campaign. - This is what you can expect when applying. All applicants will be directed to the discord server and mark the applicant role. From there you are free to chat with other applicants as I organize a preplanned one-shot that will include you plus two other applicants (groups of three). The one-shot will be free, last up to 2.5 hours, and showcase your personality and style as a player. It is possible that you might have to do another one-shot with two other players to bestow me with further data. Once a one-shot is completed, you will be given a private questionnaire which will help me determine two things; did you feel comfortable with my style as a DM? And how did you enjoy the other players? I will then select the four or five applicants I believe will be best for the campaign (keep in mind there are two campaign openings!). - Once this is done, you will be given full access to the discord server which includes character creation. We will then plan our session zero which will be a meet and greet, rules discussion, content warnings (again), and finalizing the creation of your character. All characters will require a background with a minimum of 1 page and privately shared with me. - Some concluding notes: >This is a horror campaign. While I can't necessarily dial down the narrative, I can restrict the jump scares or effects if they are too much for you. >I have an open door policy. You may privately message me over anything with the campaign, players, or myself. >I expect a high attendance rate. Life happens, I understand that. But you should not commit to this campaign if you cannot uphold at least a 80% attendance rate. >This is a paid per session campaign and this campaign may very well last over a year. While this is not my full time job, I do rely on this income to pay for much of what I put into it and to continue to pay for all the amazing features it holds. >Please notify me if you have a specific phobia of some kind. >I tend to integrate character backstories as much as I possibly can. A backstory is REQUIRED. >Be respectful to the players and myself (and yourself!). I do not know the rules front to back and you will soon see I changed a lot of the rules/systems a bit. If you feel as if something is unfair or wrong, speak freely about it and I will consider any changes. If the entire party agrees on and matter, I will alter 99% change said matter. After all, this campaign should be for your enjoyment!
