The Devil of Barovia [ EDIT ]
This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.
Thunder peels and splits the sky. Below, the valley of Barovia rests in fretful slumber as living nightmares haunt its peoples. In the distance, a castle looms above a small town, as a mighty lord reigning over a broken serf. Lightning crashes about its battlements, and though its towers seem to claw out at the sky, the bolts dare not strike them. Here, one creature rules above all, man and beast alike, and even storms obey him.
In the town below, villagers cling to one another in their poorly lit homes, praying to gods that do not answer that the horrors of the valley are kept at bay for just one night more. Here, light does not shine, here, hope does not flourish. Here, shadows creep through the shuttered streets and alleys, and here beasts stalk the edges of the night. Here is terror. Here is dread. Here is the dark kingdom of the Devil himself. And tonight, the Devil is on the hunt…

So! We'll be entering into the realm of Strahd! For those of you returning to this, note that I tend to take the storytelling hammer to things when I think it'll make them more interesting, and I love to end up in unexpected places! I've added some depth and flair to this campaign setting, so even if you've been here before, you might come across something new!
I've got access to a DnD Beyond campaign and all the materials so I can share that with you all. Anything turned on for content sharing is fair game! For those of you playing the home game, I'll be using the following texts; the 5th Edition Player's Handbook, Xanathar's Guide to Everything, Volo's Guide to Monsters, Curse of Strahd, Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, and some DM specific resources such as Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes.
I'm pretty flexible on character creation. I'd ask that you stick to the texts I'm providing for all your materials, and I reserve the right to veto! I'd like it to be a two way dialogue so if you've got something for me, by all means pitch it! I'm open to UA pitches as well.
For stat generation, I'm okay with the method of rolling (4d6, drop the lowest result, and do that six times. Assign as desired), but I will be keeping party balance in mind, so if your average is above the 13-14 marker, I'm probably going to ask that we adjust!
I'll have a Character Creation and OOC thread, as well as a thread for DM Q&A. Please reach out if you've got any questions! I play fast and loose with the rules, and rule of cool definitely win here, so if you're looking for a super strict adherence to the rules, I may not be the DM for you!
I look forward to going on this adventure with you all, and as always, may your initiative rolls be high and your hitpoints be many!
