Trapped in Ravenloft: A Curse of Strahd Campaign

Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign

About the adventure

"Deep within the shadowlands of Ravenloft, you find yourself surrounded by dangers of all kinds. Beasts stalk your every step and blood thirsty undead roam every path you walk. Wicked mists brought you here and seem intent in keeping you from leaving. Somewhere deep in his castle, Strahd waits, his plans brewing and his thirst growing. When he comes for you, will you be able to stop him?" Curse of Strahd is a classic gothic horror adventure is meant to take players from level 1-10, travel across Ravenloft and explore its melancholic mysteries and dark secrets. This campaign offers high stakes thrills and intense moments that will keep you on your toes. It will take more than just good dice rolls to get you out of the realm of the vampire Strahd - guile, cunning and keen intuition will all need to be a part of your arsnel if you hope to survive. *2014 rules*

Cosmic has a deep understanding of the game and passion for his craft. I've played with many dms before and have had a wide variety of experiences, but on Cosmic's table I can always expect a fun and fair but still challenging time in his games.

I had the pleasure of playing in an online Dungeons & Dragons campaign with Cosmic, and I can confidently say they are one of the best DMs I’ve ever had the pleasure of experiencing.

Cosmic is both kind and accommodating, as well as creative in the way that he weaved my backstory into the campaign which was important to me. I did find it a little difficult to focus, however. There was a lot of stuttering throughout the descriptions and as someone with ADD, it was definitely hard to absorb that information. I also didn't feel very guided through the material but that is possibly based on the campaign I chose. I appreciated his use of basic ambient sound and dynamic lighting as well, and the maps were of good quality.

Very fun session. Could pivot easily on a dime. One of the smoothest runs of any game I've ever played.
