You appear in the midst of a war and suddenly vanish after a short cackle from a 'Baba Yaga', and with that a puff of smoke later you're taken against your will to a domain unknown to yourself, others like yourself around you, a camp set up just for you! Who did it, what do they want? the sky is darker here.. wolves howl in the almost empty abyss and fog surrounds every direction.... what do you do when your senses and footing seem to be taken from you? an evil is only around the corner. Game Details Campaign: Curse of Strahd Date: Weekly sessions every Saturday Time: 8:30PM GMT Place: Virtual tabletop on Roll20, voice chat on Discord Duration: Sessions last 3-4 hours Payment: £10 per player per session via PayPal Roll20's required payment disclaimer: "This game will require payment to the Game Master at a rate of £10 per session via PayPal. Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot enforce any private arrangements." Why Pay to Play? Practically everyone is clamoring to get into a free game online, but there aren't nearly enough experienced DMs to satisfy the demand. Most people endure disappointing experiences like this: After spending your valuable time laboriously filling out applications, you get rejected more often than not due to the scores of people applying to play each free game. When you do get accepted, players don't show up or are unprepared. Sometimes the DM doesn't show up or is unprepared. It's a frustrating grind to go through time after time, especially when all you want to do is relax and have fun playing. Here are some of the reasons why professionally-run paid games provide a superior experience: Charging a modest per-person fee virtually eliminates player no-shows. The small fee also ensures that everyone in the group is committed to the session. The maturity level is exponentially higher in paid games. People don't abandon the group and quit the campaign when something doesn't go their way. The gaming experience provided by a professional DM is eminently more enjoyable than what you get in a free game. Material costs associated with running a top-shelf game are covered. Roll20 charges fees for the token, map, and card collections associated with each module, while the actual hardcover books and DM Guild downloads must be purchased separately. The DM's Roll20 Pro membership ensures that players have access to all of the extras, including D&D 5e Compendium integration, API scripts, and more. Custom-designed tokens for your characters are included. Extra help for beginners at no charge. An immersive experience that includes advanced role-play techniques, effects, and completely original game materials that aren't available anywhere else. About the Dungeon Master I've been running D&D games for a few years now and am wanting to make a career out of this experience! I aim to put your fun over everything else!

Character Creation Characters begin the adventure at Level 1 and play continues on a weekly basis until the book has been completed.
