About the adventure

A chilling adventure into the mists of Ravenloft… Darkness looms over the land of Barovia, a place of eerie mists, haunted villages, and ancient secrets. In this gothic horror adventure, your party must navigate a world filled with mystery and danger, where every choice can lead to fortune or doom. The people whisper of a powerful force that holds the land in its grip, but few dare to challenge it. This game is perfect for players who enjoy deep storytelling, immersive roleplay, and strategic combat in a rich, atmospheric setting. Whether you’re new to adventuring or a seasoned hero, you’ll face thrilling challenges, unexpected twists, and moments that will test your courage. Step into the shadows, uncover the truth, and carve your own fate—if you can. Barovia is waiting.

Recruiting notes

The land of Barovia is cursed, its people trapped in eternal despair, its ruler an immortal tyrant watching from the shadows. Do you have what it takes to defy the darkness? I specialize in Curse of Strahd, crafting immersive horror adventures filled with rich lore, deep roleplay, and deadly encounters. With a deep knowledge of Ravenloft’s history and atmosphere, I bring Strahd’s domain to life, ensuring every session is filled with tension, mystery, and unforgettable moments. Whether you seek a tale of gothic horror, thrilling combat, or the ultimate test of your party’s will, I’ll guide you through a journey that feels both personal and perilous. The mists are calling. Will you answer?

To make a long story short, I met this DM in another server as a player. He was great to play with and was very attentive in and out of game. Due to complications, that game ended on a relatively sour note. Then I received a message, where he was offering to host a Curse of strahd game. I could never have guessed how much good that decision came with. Great DM, likes to describe the scenes very well, he knows his monsters and how to make moments in and out of combat fantastic. If you spot a game he's hosting, you won't be disappointed!

What I provide

I'll be using the roll-20 bought version of the strahd campaign, however I be using additional and alternate maps, handouts, characters, and plos/quests. The story will be slightly modified to make it unique, while also weaving your characters backstory to make the adventure different from any before!
