 Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind’s howling increases as he turns his gaze down toward the village of Barovia.

Far below, yet not beyond his keen eyesight, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd’s face forms the barest hint of a smile as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they came—all according to his plan.

A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. The master of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner. And you are invited.

What you can expect from this campaign:

• Professional: you can expect the sessions to be prepared for with care and with inclusion of the player character's background and preferred playstyle. In addition, care is put in the well-being of the players and of the group.
• The world: The world is described vividly and the people in it feel like they can be real, I will display their convictions and morals and the npcs will show these in a realistic way.
• Battles: Are balanced and tough but always winnable. Expect a variety of enemies who fight in a way that makes sense to them.
• Story: The story is told in an engaging and descriptive way. It will keep you guessing and curious about the next step on your path to adventure. Mystery, however difficult to make work in dnd 5e, does have its way

Why pay to play?

A lot of games have the issue of having flaky DM's and players, meaning that either players just drop out whenever for whatever reason and DM's just stop running the game. And it's common knowledge that when people put money on the line they tend to take things more seriously.

I have been running professional games now for over 11,000hrs, It has been 2 years now that I have run the game as a job. With well over 40 players combined in my games you will join a community of other players.

Payment and Refund Policy

My standard rate is 13$/Session per person for a 3h game. If it so happens that the players would like to extend the duration of the sessions by an hour, I would charge an extra 2.5$ per person

If you are happy with the game, and see yourself playing for some time, you can pay 46$ for a full month (4 Games) of playtime. (Not including game extension)

Refunds for sessions will occur for the following reasons:
- Session zero and Character creation are free.
- You are expected to pay for the game regardless of if you are absent or not.
- After every 12 session you get 1 an absence without having to pay, even working retroactively
- If there are technical issues with Roll20 that cause the game to be cancelled.
- If the DM is forced to cancel a session for any reason.

As the DM, I reserve the right to accept, deny, or remove players from the game, as well as the right to cancel the campaign at any time. Should any of these extreme situations occur, outstanding subscription balances will be refunded in full to all effected parties.
