Ranger. Entertainer. Curse of Strahd, run by best-selling author Animancy Press, is an expanded level 1-20 adaptation of the classic Gothic horror adventure set in the dread domain of Ravenloft. Designed for both the 2014 and 2024 editions of Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition, this version transports characters into a fragmented realm sequestered in a sinister part of either Hell or the Shadowfell—a nightmarish parallel world detached from the reality they know. Some may view the characters’ arrival as heroic, while others recall the countless souls who have failed before them. No matter their perceptions, the land’s enigmatic ruler has dark plans for them all. At the heart of the tale is the cunning Vampire Lord, Count Strahd von Zarovich. Through his dark magic and loyal minions, Strahd draws individuals from other worlds to sustain his decaying kingdom, ravaged by his unquenchable thirst for blood. In Barovia, the cycle of reincarnation has gone horribly awry: those drained of blood return as soulless husks, cursed to wander the land in short, often malevolent lives. Venture through the Durst Manor, where the sinister legacy of a cursed family haunts the village of Barovia... Escort Ireena Kolyana, the unwittingly reincarnated object of Strahd’s obsessive, unrequited love, as she desperately seeks to flee his malevolent influence and the allure of his fangs... Face the malicious hags, who demand human lives as payment for their dark magics... Enter the cursed land of Barovia in this expanded level 1-20 campaign, enriched with supplements from acclaimed best-selling authors. Take on the ultimate challenge of defeating Count Strahd von Zarovich and the dread powers that sustain him, all under the expert guidance of best-selling author Animancy Press as your Dungeon Master.

What I provide

I have a variety of most of the popular WotC content on Roll20 and and on DNDBeyond as well as a variety of 3rd Party Publisher Content that can be copied/pasted into a Roll20 Character Sheet. I also have Premium Map Packs from a variety of vendors including Tessa Presents, among others.

Gameplay details

Every session can be a session 0. I use a session opener that reminds and encourages players to use/update their safety tool preferences on an ongoing basis. Also included is the ability of players to create private and/or public threads where they need only to state their safety tool concerns and I will avoid it and do my best to steer the players away from said concern and handle any desired discussion of the topic to the best of my ability and seek feedback from the concerned where and when necessary before doing so.
