One of my favorite franchises in the world is Castlevania. I remember playing it a long time ago...my first entry in the series was Super Castlevania for the SNES. It was really cool...but I didn't have much of an idea what was going on.
As I got older, I tried new entries into the series...Symphony of the night, the original, Castlevania II, I even gave Simon's quest a try. The games are really fun...
What really got me back into the mood with it was the animated series released last summer. It was kick ass...the best hour of my life...I binged it too fast. I was very sad to find it was only 4 episodes.
Still...it was good.
Awhile back, I wrote up a Castlevania D20 campaign...it was probably my first homebrew thing I ever made. I however was a scrub...so everything was very wonky and...broken...yeah broken...
So what I am providing to all on my google drive an updated version of the Castlevania D20 module; and anyone can use it.
Basic synopsis: A long time ago, there was a fabled alchemist known as Mathias who cursed at the Gods for taking his wife away. He began a plan to curse them avoid death by becoming a vampire to live forever. When his wife was taken away from him in undeath, he cursed at humanity and declared them to all be slain by his hordes. Dracula was defeated by the fallen paladin Trevor Belmont, but alas his defeat is temporary. Dracula rises from the grave once every 100 years...and he has once again rose from the dead.
The module has 2 different stories to it...and it depends entirely on what the players want to do.
RICHTER BELMONT STORY: The descendant of the Belmonts...Richter Belmont has been tasked by Lastwall to go to Castlevania; the location of which Dracula is said to reside at and stop the Count before his armies spread to the land. However, Richter fails and is slain by Dracula. You adventurers have been sent in as a backup to save Richter and help him destroy the Count...not realizing his fate has been sealed.
PLAYER AS A BELMONT: You are the current descendant of the Belmont clan; and have been told the day Dracula has come back from the dead has occurred. Armed with your Vampire Killer whip; along with your traveling companions, you have gone to Castlevania to fulfill your family destiny.

Hey man...I just want to say thanks for fixing the links on my thing. I only just now noticed the box for formating on the forums. Thank you for doing that, I hope it was not a big deal.

Your welcome. :D
I've been reading through it and it looks pretty awesome. My only complaint (I have like 600 this is amazing things) is that the maps are kind of hard to read.

I don't really have any artistic skill; so I had to make them as cheaply as possible.

OOOHHH I'd be really interested to hear how that goes. Actually I'd like to hear any kind of feedback honestly.
My big hope for this PDF is that our great overlord James Jacobs would give his two cents in on how I did with merging the lore with Castlevania and Golarion.
