Curse of Strahd - You will fear the night

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

"Though you shall wish otherwise, you now have my full and complete attention" Count Strahd von Zarovich 🩸 A villain you will love to hate 🩸 Hard choices and moral dilemmas 🩸 Situations escalating to terrifying combats 🩸 Dark powers will offer you gifts, but at what cost? You are mysteriously drawn to a realm of dread surrounded by dangerous mists and ruled by the vampire Strahd von Zarovich. This gothic horror story takes you through a valley full of horrors and culminates with a vampire hunt inside Castle Ravenloft. Each step of your journey will throw dilemmas at you—and Strahd is always there watching and waiting. Being tempted by dark blessings, choosing the lesser evil, and daring to do good in the face of clear death will be your constant struggles in this campaign. Face classic scary monsters: cultists, hags, werewolves, ghosts, demons and of course vampires. Awesome illustration by Jo Bonito https://jobonito.artstation.com/
