About the adventure

Trapped in the cursed land of Barovia, you are hunted by Strahd von Zarovich—an ancient vampire lord who rules with charm, cruelty, and absolute control. Escape is a dream. Survival is a challenge. Victory is... uncertain. 🦇 Explore a Gothic Nightmare: Haunted forests, ruined castles, and tragic villages. Every location bleeds dread—and hides secrets worth dying for. 🦇 Face the Devil: Strahd is always watching. Always plotting. Every move you make might be your last—or exactly what he wants. 🦇 For Fans of Horror and Heavy Atmosphere: Perfect for players who enjoy immersive roleplay, creeping dread, and a world where hope is rare but precious.

About me

I’m a full-time GM with a tech brain and a storyteller’s instinct. I run clean, well-prepped games with a healthy dose of improvisation and just enough chaos to keep players guessing. I love throwing players into situations they’ll definitely survive (probably). Also: unapologetically committed to terrible accents, delivered with great enthusiasm.
