About the adventure
Enter the Mists of Barovia: A "Curse of Strahd" Campaign: Welcome brave adventurers! Do you dare venture into the gloomy and mist-shrouded darkness of Barovia? An ancient land filled with peril and pain. Face unimaginable horrors, uncover ancient secrets, and become entangled in the devious schemes of the malevolent and iconic vampire lord, Strahd von Zarovich. This "Curse of Strahd" campaign promises an grim and epic adventure filled with suspense, mysteries to unravel, and danger at every turn. Will you brave gnarled and haunted forests, oppressed villages, and the foreboding halls of Castle Ravenloft itself to uncover secrets of The Dark Lord himself? Gather your party, sharpen your wits, steel your hearts and get ready of a classic DND gothic horror adventure! The mists are calling you.... The current state of play: The party, now known as The Babysitters From Beyond, have finally arrived in the town of Vallaki after a long and perilous journey. With Ireena safe and the town appearing relatively normal compared to the bleak and tragedy-filled settlements they had previously encountered, it offers a brief respite. Now, The Babysitters From Beyond are following up on various leads, trying to make sense of why they are here, their Tarokka readings, and what to do next. What to expect: 🖥️ ⛰️ 🎵 - Deep immersions thanks to atmospheric visuals, effects, music and atmospheres brought to life thanks the magic of Foundry VTT. 🦇 - A tense gothic horror campaign that will keep players on their toes, with plenty of twists, shocks and difficult decisions to be made. 💬 Plenty of chances for deep and meaningfully roleplay on a warm and welcoming table. 🎙️🎭 Deep narration and expertly voiced NPCs by an amateur voice actor and improv performer. ⚔️🏹 Crunchy, challenging and creative combat. With several options in how to approach and manage tense combat against powerful and devious foes. 🧛🩸 An iconic and ruthless DND villain to face off against. Will you be able to stop the dastardly Strahd? Sign up today!

About me
Hello to all you wonderful players and fellow GMs! My name is Cosmo The GM and I’ve been running and playing games of D&D since 2019, and I’ve loved playing roleplay video games ever since I first played the first 'Legend of Zelda' game on the NES way back in the early 90s. Since then, I've gone on to fall in love with and play many RPGs, from many of the Final Fantasy games, to Skyrim and the Witcher 3, to the modern masterpiece of Baldur's Gate 3. When I first played D&D, it sparked a passion in me that has brought me so much joy. The ability to be able to tell collaborative stories with friends and strangers, who then became good friends, alike. While I still love video games, they are still limited somewhat by their coding and programming. D&D and other TTRPGs are more or less limited by your imagination, and that has huge appeal. Live play shows and the work of DMs like Matt Mercer, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Matt Corville, Ginny Di, The Dungeon Dudes and many more have influenced me. If you enjoy tables where with a focus on collaborative storytelling, rich and vibrant worlds, colorful and memorable NPCs, crunchy and challenging combat, with the odd puzzle thrown in, then please contact me about joining one of my established games. I am also open to running games for your own private games. Away from TTRPGs, I am an aspiring voice actor, amateur improv comedy performer and a lover of video games, reading, music and travel. Sign up to a game today. I’d love to see you at my table!

What Cosmo The GM brings to the table
🎲 NEW PLAYER FRIENDLY! If this is your first ever game of DND, then don't fret! I love helping new players discover this wonderful hobby. 🎲 This campaign will have dark themes. If there any lines or triggers that you have, then please let me know so that I can adjust things accordingly. 🎲 We will use Foundry VTT to play the actual game, DNDBeyond for character creation and Discord for voice chat (video is optional). 🎲 I like lots of role play in my TTRPGS, both as a GM and a player. There will also of course be plenty chances for combat, exploration and a few puzzles. 🎲 This campaign will have its challenges. The battles will be crunchy and challenging. Character death is a real possibility in this campaign. Have ideas for back up characters in mind. 🎲 I like to do voices and really get into character. For players, it's up to you how much you want to get into it. There's no pressure at all to be on the Critical Roll level! But if you want to, by all means bring it on! 🎲 Helpful discussions at the table are encouraged. However, overt-metagaming and telling other people how to play their characters and the DM how to run the game will not be tolerated. 🎲 There will be a ten minute break half-way through sessions for bathroom and snack breaks.

How Cosmo The GM creates a safe table
- We will have a small 'session 0' one-on-one type chat by message or on a discord call before the game starts to talk about the game. We will cover any lines, veils and triggers you may have, your expectations of the game as well as mine, and to see if it's the right campaign for you. - My tables are inclusive and welcoming spaces for all. Any racism, homophobia, transphobia or general bigoted behaviour will not be tolerated.
