Start Playing Curse of Strahd | D&D 5e at its Spookiest!
About the adventure
Strahd is an excellent introduction to Dungeons and Dragons! Whether you want to sneak through eerie crypts and haunted houses, smite evil, or just howl at the moon, you're going to find it all here. The module has some great replayability which makes this a fantastic way to connect new players and veterans! At this table player assistance goes beyond character creation. I aim to make sure everyone is equipped to make the choices that fit THEIR character and THEIR goals. I wouldn't dream of leaving anyone behind in a place like Ravenloft!

About me
You bring the paint, I'll bring the canvas. It might not always be art, but we're going to make something together! I've been DM'ing for several years and I'm looking for players that want to get wrapped up in story, push their power to the utmost limit, build connections with other adventurers and everything in between! I have a background in classical music and computer science. I firmly believe a world where left and right brained thinking can coexist isn't just possible but is the best case.

Andrew is an awesome DM! Highly recommend playing with him. You can tell he puts a lot of care into his campaigns, like crafting puzzles/encounters, working in details that tie your characters backstory to the campaign, and giving players obstacles that are challenging but doable with a little creative thinking. His DM style is perfect for those who love a good balance of RP and combat!
I've played many, many hours with Andrew and he's a delight as a GM. He's got a great sense of humor and is really laid back - he doesn't mind explaining the rules if you're confused or not sure what you can or can't do. I've found his encounters to almost always be fair and engaging. When I was at his table he was always supportive of weird or detailed stuff I wanted to do with my character. Overall he's a kind and funny guy that would suit a lot of different levels of players.

What aaaaannnnndddd brings to the table
Roll20 Curse of Strahd module with background music, D&D beyond integration. Discord video and voice chat. As a DM, I am the player character's biggest cheer leader. I want our table to see creativity and ingenuity rewarded. Sometimes that means going with the rule of cool, sometimes it means reading a rule to decide how exactly it applies to a situation. Wacky ideas are welcome but sometimes will be difficult to pull off =)
