Description: 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 wind’s 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’s 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.
In this Level 1 through 10+ adventure, you travel through the dreaded domain of Barovia and face off against its vampire ruler who has cursed the lands with an eternal, foggy night, in this revamped and reloaded version of the gothic horror adventure we all know in love in the Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition.
Details: In session 0 we will be introducing ourselves to each other (and maybe make our characters) and talking about our expectations and boundaries and so forth, which will be free. Foundry X-Card module will be used as well, which uses the X card Player safety toolkit by John Stavropoulos. I’ll also note I am willing to start earlier for our start time if we all agree to it (like say 4:30 pm est or something).
What Will I Bring?: I will bring you thy Foundry VTT and discord. I also use Kenku FM for background music.
Character Creation: We will start at the 1st or 2nd level (currently undecided) and will be made during session 0 (which will be free). The stats will be generated using a Standard Array, though this is not definite as of writing, and I might change my mind on it.
How should you prepare?: You should have at least a decent-quality Microphone, A discord account, a solid internet connection, and a solid grasp on the English language (as that is the only language I know). Also being able to consistently arrive on time for the session (oddball situations like being sick or something notwithstanding).
