About the adventure
CURSE OF STRAHD | GENDERBENT GAME WITH FEMALE STRAHD | LEVELS 2-12 | HOMEBREW & THIRD-PARTY CONTENT | FOUNDRY VTT + ANIMATED MAPS AND SEVERAL OTHER RESOURCES Free session 0! This campaign is a homebrew adaptation of the Curse of Strahd official module. As the storm clouds gather over the towering Castle Ravenloft, Countess Strahd von Zarovna watches from above. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind's howling increases as she turns her gaze down toward the village of Barovia. Far below, yet not beyond her keen eyesight, a party of adventurers has just entered her domain. Strad's face forms the barest hint of a cunning smile on her red-tinged lips as her dark plan unfolds. She knew they were coming, and she knows why they came -- all according to her plan. A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. Will you be able to break the curse that has plagued Barovia for centuries, or will you fall prey to the machinations of Strahd? Only time will tell, for the mistress of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner. And you have been invited. 🧛♀️ Explore a new Barovia inspired by the previous editions of Ravenloft in this genderbent grimdark adventure! ❗Game Information: Edition: 5th edition, with 5.5 being treated as homebrew Sourcebooks: All Game Duration: 3 - 3.5 hours Character Creation: Fixed stat array + feat at level 1 + uncommon magic item New players are more than welcome! -------------------------- In this game, you will find: ✅ Several Foundry Addons tailored to making Curse of Strahd more immersive and engaging, like Beneos Maps. ✅ Animated 3D Maps custom made by myself for this campaign. ✅ Video recording handouts of each map, showing them in great detail from the character's perspective. ✅ An unique plot crafted just for you and the other players, with the directions given by you during session 0. ✅ Several unique mechanics designed to make D&D 5E a more complete game and cover areas such as potion making, item crafting, wilderness survival etc. ✅ Guides and video playlists curated to help you learn how to play Dungeons and Dragons 5E. ✅ Fully fleshed-out NPCs with different accents, wants and needs. ✅ A world tailored to you and the players, where you backstories and choices matter. ✅ Background music and sound effects. ✅ Homebrew character creation options and over +400 new spells to be discovered during the game. ✅ A supportive and engaged DM who will give you suport 24/7 on all days of the week.
