The Curse of Strahd

About the adventure

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. Embark on an unforgettable journey where danger lurks in every corner and your decisions shape your destiny. Join this campaign and you will become a hero in the darkest of realms.
