About the adventure

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. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires, as Strahd narrows his eyes. Far below, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahdโ€™s face forms a twisted smile; he knew they were coming, and he knows why they have come. All according to his plan. Another lightning flash rips through the darkness, 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. =================================================== A cinematic intro to my campaign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_KOtqjlLJU =================================================== The Curse of Strahd is perhaps the best story in D&D 5th Edition, and is one of my personal favourites to tell. At its core, the story brings a classic gothic-horror style adventure, with intruige and plot twists. Your choices matter, and you'll be sitting on the edge of your seat more than once as the tale unfolds. My rendition of The Curse of Strahd is filled with even more content to complete the story, and make it something that you will not forget! In addition to the core Curse of Strahd story, you will find: ๐Ÿ‘‹ An intruiging, homebrewed intro into the Curse of Strahd! ๐Ÿ”ฎ Mystique & chance; ouija board and fortune cards that have effects I'll not know up front. ๐Ÿ’Ž A captivating blended-in adventure about the powerful Gems of Barovia ๐Ÿ““ An interactive take on Strahd's personal Diary (get sucked right in to the story.. literally!) ๐Ÿ‘จโ€โš•๏ธ The creepy doctor Yvar Dascalu, a homebrewed henchman and his... experiments. ๐ŸŒน A tempting underground organization with the gentleness of a rose. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ Exciting encounters, side quests and plot twists that might change the course of the story! ๐Ÿฆ NEW: The cities of Soarele, Immol, and Thir Doral, a homebrewed expansion to the already awesome story! ๐ŸŽจ Beautiful maps, artwork, tokens, effects, music, and sound to bring the story to life! ๐ŸŽญ A Dungeon Master with a love for storytelling, voice acting, and special effects ;-) ๐Ÿ’ฐ The Session-0 completely free of charge! This campaign is designed for players who have a bit of experience with D&D already. If this is your first foray into D&D I would highly recommend one of my (beginner) oneshots instead to get your bearings! Some themes in this game are not recommended for all players. Check the content warning tags I have provided for a full list of topics which may become present in the game.
