Start Playing Curse of Strahd | D&D 5e at its Spookiest!

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

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!

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.

Had a great time doing the honey heist with a few friends, Andrew maintained a great vibe with his story telling and audio cues, and kept a good storytelling pace. He worked with our shenanigans and our crew of honey badgers got what they wanted, but at what cost?!?

Andrew was a wonderful GM, definitely left us open to exploring in our own weird shenanigans! We had a very lovely bear heist!

How to prepare

Please have a mic available for voice chat. Please have chrome browser with Beyond 20 extension installed for D&D beyond integration with roll20. Be ready to create or import a D&D beyond character. Session 0 assistance with all of the above provided. Note taking is suggested and very often rewarded!

What I provide

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 =)
