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.

She has been a GM for several charity oneshots on various platforms and channels. When not DMing or playing - she also appears on several Panels online and at conventions discussing embracing Failure in TTRPGs to Safety tools and accessiblity. Over the last several years - she created the Games for Change TTRPG Charity Weekend, an event that occurs 2 to 3 times a year. During this event, creators, performers, systems and nonprofit organizations working to better the world are highlighted. To date - they have raised over $37.5K for charity. Jordan is always seeking to raise everyone up in this space along with making sure that storytelling and gaming is accessible. Jordan also likes to dive into videogames. On Sundays, she plays a story based game and usually connects the story, elements or character to TTRPGs. The main game she is found playing is Dead by Daylight which she also goes through the lore, how to stat block the characters in TTRPGs and what they may be! The biggest project she has been working as the writer, producer, creator and Storyteller for the Award Nominated - Ampistrano. This DND 5e Homebrew campaign airs on Saturdays and seeks to explore and ask the questions that are not common in TTRPGs. It's an absolute blast as she guides: Pherin, AprilRaygun, Robogoblin/TTRPGifs, Synxiec and Dimplesndice through the chaos and legends beyond the veil of Ampistrano.

How DNDJordanLea creates a safe table
Prepare for a vast amount of roleplay, exploration and of course - COMBAT. With combat - I try to make it fun narratively in terms of describing things and will ask the same of you. This will be regardless if this is the first hit or the FINISHING MOVE?! Session 0s and safety tools are something I utilize every session. I will be checking in the week of, morning of, as we wait to get started, debriefing and in the week/days after. I keep a comprehensive list of safety tools, lines and veils that we will check in on every session. Please keep in mind that the Content warnings may expand or shrink depending on what the group decides to do. It does not mean we will hit all of those things above.
