Curse of Strahd

Unravel the mysteries of Ravenloft in this dread adventure for the world’s greatest roleplaying game.

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. 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.

I will be running the Curse of Strahd campaign, starting with the Death House supplement. We will be using Discord for voice chat.

This will be my second time running this campaign. My first one went quite well, if I might say so myself. I don't fudge the dice and I try to play the monsters as smart as they should be played. That said, I might fudge the dice a bit until you hit level 3, just because the early levels are so unpredictable. My wife will be a Co-DM, mainly helping with the art assets. The two existing players are friends, but we need some extra people to fill out the party.

Current Party: Gnome Mystic and Tiefling Paladin

Characters will start at level one, you may use either a standard array or a 27 point buy to decide your stats. You may use Unearthed Arcana materials, though I may prohibit multi-classing if you do use UA classes. If you find some homebrew that you want to try, you can submit it. With the understanding that it is not guaranteed and even if it is approved, that there may need to be some balancing in between sessions if a feature proves to be too powerful.

If you are interested in joining please post a character idea, give as many or as few details as you wish. I much prefer someone with an interesting character over an optimized one. Let me know a little about yourself, what games you've played before, your playstyle, and what you expect from this game. Please use this naming convention for your title: [YOURNAME/CHARACTERNAME], [RACE], [CLASS]
