Intermediate - Advanced Level
Just in time for Halloween we are bringing you the classic dark-fantasy campaign "Curse of Strahd." The campaign length can vary depending on the players, so I'm gonna let them take the lead on the story we will create together and not try to rush anything. We will start week one with a session zero where people decide what kind of character they will be and discuss their background. After that we will launch into the campaign and take it week by week until the camping's conclusion. Some rules though: -No PVP, Trash Talking or Swearing. -Language and behavior that is racist, sexist, ableist, ageist, and so on, is not tolerated. -Bullying and bad-mouthing also not tolerated. -We're not here to debate politics or religion. -And look, we all make mistakes -- if you’ve offended someone, an apology can go a long way. -I am going to institute a rule of an X card. Players should have a flashcard with an X written on it. If anything comes up that makes them uncomfortable in the game, hold it up to their forehead on their webcam, We will "rewind" the game a bit and take it in a different direction - no questions asked. Also the DM has the right to use the X card.

While we will have a session zero where people plan out what types of character they want to play, it is expected that players are seasoned D&Ders and this is not their first game.
