Dance with the Devil π©Έ Curse of Strahd π©Έ Private PbP Duet
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
There is nothing to fear, except fear itselfβ¦ and I am fear incarnate. Fear me. Shall we dance? β± Pacing: 1 long DM post each day in the evenings (UK time), and a shorter message in the morning to reply to any @ pings. Additional replies/posts are subject to my availability throughout the day. π² Virtual Table Top: I am flexible and willing to work in your preferred VTT, I have years of experience in both Foundry and Roll20 and have more recently learned how to run games in Discord via Avrae with DnD beyond. This is a game for those willing to face the darkness, and not for the faint of heart. Staying true to the gothic tone of the most popular DnD adventure, you will have to claw victory from the cold dead hands of your eternal foe. The flashes of colour you find in this dread realm will be ever more vibrant against the darkness. Will you fight the devil alone, or will you find allies to stand beside you? Can you really trust anyone in this dark land? When you Dance With The Devil, you may get burnt. π§ - Face off against a vengeful villain that you will love, hate, and fear in equal measures! π - Face your mortality without a party at your back to experience this classic module in hardcore mode! π - Delve deep into an enhanced and expanded Barovia, with additional lore, locations, and monsters! π₯ - Engage in a gorgeous gothic sandbox, and the curious cast of misfits that lives there! New players are welcome, Curse of Strahd may be a more mature experience, but it is also the finest adventure module to come out of the 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons. I'm happy to take extra time to help you with questions and advice, to give you the best chance of survival. Interested in an even more unique experience off the beaten path? Ask me about these Strahd Remixes: π Curse of Davey Jones - Terror on the High Seas, building on the work of reddit user N7Inquisitor. π§ββοΈ She is the Ancient - More than a simple gender swap, this is a more inclusive rewrite of the module by Beth the Bard. π Speedrunning Strahd - Curse of Strahd in a time loop, perfect for returning players. My own original concept for a meta-bending twist on a classic campaign. Art Credit - "Burning Building" From James RPG Art, used with permission.
