About the adventure
You have escaped from Falcovnia, the dark grip of death and injustice is behind. The mists take you to a land with no sun. The eyes of a new dark lord gaze upon you. He wants you. He will offer the cold blessing of his embrace for your total servitude. Will you surrender your soul to escape death? Or will you choose freedom even if it means facing fear and pain? Vermins of blood, liches, upir, strigoi, or vampires however you want to name them; they rule the domain of Barovia, and now... you are wolking into their land. This is Curse of Strahd with a twist. Come! there will be maps and miniatures... LOTS OF MINIATURES!

About me
I was nine years old when I was introduced to the marvelous world of Dungeons and Dragons by my older brothers. It was amazing for me how I and my fellow players could have the experience of being the main characters of an exciting story. Soon I wanted to share this with everyone, so I became the forever Dungeon Master of all the school and job places throughout my career. This love for tales that TTRPG gave to me turned me into a scriptwriter in my adult life. All the joyful fun that happens around the table during a game session also had an impact on me towards comedy. I currently work at two tv shows (One comedy show and one D&D show) in Mexico. I also have been a professional GM for five years now. With these jobs, I happen to be a very happy man. I'm bilingual, so some of my games are in English, and then some others are played in Spanish. A lot has happened in the world over the past few years, things that have changed how we face our life and how we see ourselves. So mental health is also a big issue for me. My games are focused on creating a connection between the adults we are now and the inner child that fuels our day-to-day life with the energy of JOY.

How Omar, the Cartesian Roach creates a safe table
- My version of Ravenloft comes from the love of previous editions and all the inspiration from Horror Pop Culture. I like the myth of the vampire. Here the party tries to fight the villain but also fight the hunger for power that he offers. Existential experiences are of the essence for this game. - I bring a lot of adaptations of AD&D Ravenloft to this new iteration of the campaign, as well as some inspiration from movies and TV shows like Midnight Mass, Dracula (Coppola), and The Strain (del Toro). - If you already know how to play D&D 5e, please note that I use a few variant rules in my games in order to make them feel more lethal.
