About the adventure

✨You can expect ✨ 📅 Weekly sessions spanning levels 1-10 🎭 Extensive Roleplay with PCs and NPCs ⚔️ Challenging Combat and unique monsters 🌟 Custom content, side quests, expanded missions, merchants and more! Under stormy skies, Count Strahd von Zarovich, the vampire ruler of Castle Ravenloft, gazes down at the village below. A cold wind swirls around him as lightning illuminates his powerful and mad visage, twisted by dark tragedy. As thunder rumbles, Strahd notices a group of adventurers entering his domain. With a sinister smile, he acknowledges that their arrival is part of his plan. Another lightning flash reveals that Strahd has vanished, leaving only the howling wind or a lone wolf's cry. The master of Ravenloft is having guests for dinner, and you are invited. Join the campaign for "Curse of Strahd" and step into a world where gothic horror reigns supreme. Can you unravel the mysteries of this cursed land and confront the vampire lord, or will you become another pawn in his twisted game? The adventure awaits, and the master of Ravenloft is expecting you.

Game style

Rules as Written (RaW)

Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Combat Heavy

“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

I want you to play a character you enjoy, so I will work with you as much as possible so we can craft that character for you.
