Under raging storm clouds, a lone figure stands silhouetted
against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. The vampire Count Strahd
von Zarovich stares down a sheer cliff at the village below. A cold,
bitter wind spins dead leaves about him, billowing his cape in the
darkness. Lightning splits the
clouds overhead, casting stark white light across him. Strahd turns to
the sky, revealing the angular muscles of his face and hands. He has a
look of power—and of madness. His once handsome face is contorted by a
tragedy darker than the night itself. Rumbling
thunder pounds the castle spires. The winds howling increases as Strahd
turns his gaze back to the village. Far below, yet not beyond his ken, a
party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd’s face forms a
twisted smile as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and
he knows why they have come all according to his plan. He, the master of
Ravenloft, will attend to them. Another
lightning flash rips through the darkness, its thunder echoing through
the castle is towers. But Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the
wind—or perhaps a lone wolf—fills the midnight air. The master of
Ravenloft is having guests for dinner. And you are invited. DM: I
have been DMing 5e for several years now, both on Roll20 and for my
in-person group. My goal as a DM is to run games that are fun and fair
for everyone involved. I work hard to make sure every PC has the
opportunity to shine and that every player feels comfortable in the
group. I tend to be a pretty relaxed DM, definitely a "rule of cool"
type, but the rules do exist for a reason! This
is a Gothic Horror campaign. Please be aware that being a horror
campaign, it will deal with some pretty dark themes occasionally. With
that, this is an 18+ game. That being said, any serious horror story
needs room for humor and I'm sure there will be plenty of it. We
will be using Roll20 for maps, character sheets and dice rolls. The
game is currently listed as Video and Voice, however, I am aware that
not everyone is comfortable with video, so we will decide on that aspect
as a group. We will use Discord for audio, and if the group agrees,
possibly video as well. The price for this
game is set at $15 per player, per session. Session 0 is free, to make
sure you feel the group is a good fit. After that, payment is due 24
hours before the start of each session and can be paid via PayPal.
Roll20 is not responsible for any payment transactions and cannot
enforce any private arrangements. If you think
you might be interested in joining the game, please see the listing for
more information and to submit an application or any questions you might
have! <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/305128/curse-of-strahd-saturday" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/305128/curse-of-strahd-saturday</a>
