Curse of Strahd
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind’s howling increases as he turns his gaze down toward the village of Barovia. Far below, yet not beyond his keen eyesight, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd’s face forms the barest hint of a smile as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they came—all according to his plan. A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. The master of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner. And you are invited. This will be a weekly Campaign. __________________________________________________________ This epic campaign will be utilizing the Curse of Strahd Setting along with my own and YOUR creations. Player Characters will begin at level 1 and level throughout the weekly campaign.
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

Jordan is a wonderful GM and I would totally recommend! Fosters a relaxed, comfortable and creative environment for the table and sessions. Inclusivity and safety are at the forefront of every session, and Jordan makes sure we're taken care of before, during and after. Do you want a storyteller who works with you to help your character shine? Or perhaps you want someone who can weave an intriguing tale and bring both drama and comedy? Look no further.

Jordan is a wonderful GM and greatly enjoy having her as a storyteller for our campaign and would totally reccomend! Fosters a relaxed, comfortable and creative environment for the table and sessions. Is attentive and aware of safety, lines and veils in the campaign, always feel comfortable RPing with those aspects at the forefront. Very strong in both storytelling and combat, she works with you in getting the most of backstory and immersion for your PC and the combats are engaging + cinematic.

Jordan always loves to craft stories based on the characters of their players. Not gonna lie, but I had a backstory that wasn't extensive, but Jordan made this whole environment and story where my character thrive from. She made my story so wonderful and special. Jordan cares so much for her players and she listens to them and she will alway strive to make us feel safe and comfortable.

Jordan does an amazing job at setting up a great atmosphere and ambience for the games she has GMed for. Everything has a great amount of flavor and creativity behind it. Additionally she is really good at being aware of the players at her table and trying to incorporate them (comfortably) into the session. Safety tools are a big thing for her, so she is really good at building an inclusive table

Jordan is a master of weaving characters into her stories. She gives each person at the table the opportunity to be the one in the spotlight and have that clutch moment. Jordan give’s beautiful narration to set the scenes and rolls with whatever you throw at her. She’s quick to adapt and really does listen to what you as a player want. There’s no railroad on her games. She also provides a safe table, believing that safety tools allow her to run a rich story without negative impact on players out of game. She’s a professional and consummate game master, I HIGHLY recommend her.
