About the adventure
⚰️ What you can expect ⚰️ 🩸 Classic gothic horror in a mysterious, mist-laden land, brimming with monsters and an ever-present vampiric threat. 🩸 Queer storytelling. Curse of Strahd reimagined with the 'She is the Ancient' supplement, giving a more prominent role to women in the story and removing much of the problematic subject matter. 🩸 A strong focus on roleplay and player agency. Explore the story at your own pace and follow the threads that interest you most. 🩸 Drama! The good kind that has the BBEG throwing flirty threats and witty insults whilst duelling the protagonists atop a rain-slicked tower. 🩸 Haunting atmospheres brought to life with rich audio, beautiful artistic scenes, and fleshed out maps 🩸 Dungeons & Dragons 2024 edition rules This is Curse of Strahd, but not as you remember it! Venture to the lands of Barovia and come under the ever-watchful eye of Strahdia von Zarovich. It is from her domain of dread that you must escape, but you are not the first adventuring party to show up at her doorstep, and you likely won't be the last. Discover the mysteries that enshroud Barovia, avoid the malign influence of a vampire lord, and break the curse that holds these lands in perpetual terror!

Gameplay details
Players can expect a focus on story-telling and shared experiences, with game rules used to enhance this rather than limit what a player can do. As this is very much an open-world campaign, the players will have a lot of say in what aspects of the world they want to explore and I will flesh out the story based on those interests. Due to the nature of horror campaigns, safety tools are very important and will be discussed in session 0 (plus the ability to revisit them at anytime).
