_You are cordially invited to spend a brisk autumn evening with Count Strahd von Zarovich in his mountaintop abode, Castle Ravenloft..._
On **Sunday, October 27, 2024**, I plan on running the 2nd annual session of **One Night in Ravenloft**, the terrifying one-shot version of the classic horror adventure, Ravenloft, and I'm looking for interested players.
On **Sunday, October 27, 2024, from 1p-5p(-ish) ET**, I plan on running the 2nd annual session of **One Night in Ravenloft**, the terrifying one-shot version of the classic horror adventure, Ravenloft, and I'm looking for interested players.
This is the same game that I ran last year, but with randomized changes and "win conditions" to make each run through a little different (plus some encounter re-balancing, following last year's cakewalk). The game promises action, horror, comedy, and several terrifying _new_ surprises.

- As with last year, PCs can be any [race](https://www.planarvagabond.com/races/index.html) or [class](https://www.planarvagabond.com/classes/index.html) in OSE, BX, or from the Planar Vagabond site (although I'm always willing to entertain a custom race or class, if that's your thing). See [Character creation rules](/rules/basics.html#character-creation) for more info.
So, once again I ask: _Do you have the courage to face the ancient evil that slumbers in Castle Ravenloft, and free the land from the curse of the mists by destroying the vile corruption once and for all? Will you join the likes of Jerakeen, Yogi the Bugbear, Charlie Knight, Maester Llewyn, and Gus the Party Bus in the hallowed halls of history? Or are you destined to become just another in a long line of fallen heroes, doomed by their overconfidence to serve as Strahd's undead minions until the end of time?_
### Magic Items
Each PC will begin with a single magic item from the list below.
- We don't want any duplicates, so once a magic item has been chosen, no one else can choose it.
- Also, please make sure you pick an item that your character can use. Some have class, race, and/or attribute restrictions (like Zormut, or the wands).
- Finally, note that **all magic item Usage Dies will begin at d4**. This means that the items will work _at least_ twice, but could work 3 or even 4+ times in the adventure (since you roll the die down a step on a 1 or a 2, there's a 50% chance with each roll of a d4 that it will roll to it's final charge).
