About the adventure
Under raging storm clouds, the vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind’s howling increases as he turns his gaze down toward the village of Barovia. Far below, yet not beyond his keen eyesight, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd’s face forms the barest hint of a smile as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they came; all according to his plan. A lightning flash rips through the darkness, but Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind fills the midnight air. The master of Castle Ravenloft is having guests for dinner—and you are invited. All players welcome. veteran or new/beginner players. It does not matter you are all welcome to join in on the terrifying journey into the misty domains of dread. Into Barovia where the ancient vampire Count Strahd von Zarovish rules with an iron fist "He is ancient. He is the land" Will you be able to stand up against this ancient evil? Will you even be able to survive in the mist of Barovia? An Epic adventure with a lot of focus on Gothic horror, werewolves, witches, vampires and much much more.

About me
Hey there i am Shaugnar or Dan, up to you. I am a Swedish guy that been playing a variety of different TTRPG's for a long time. Both as a player and a Dm. Besides D&D i also played games like Dark Heresy, Pathfinder, Call of Cthulhu and more I love roleplaying games. they are fun they are exciting and we all might need a bit of an escape from the real life now and then. I enjoy being the player but more so i like running games. to create a unique experience for my players. to have a great time while creating a memorable story together

Very patient and welcoming to beginners. Very competent with Roll20. Shaugnar obviously spends a large amount of time preparing for sessions. Encounters are well managed, and he has a knack for keeping everyone focused, invested, and involved. I really can't recommend Shaugnar enough.

Dan does a great job of balancing a session between players who love combat and players who love RP. He's helpful, flexible, and chill, and it's clear that his goal is to help everyone feel like they're part of an awesome story no matter what part of the story they enjoy most. During one session when a player couldn't attend and Dan had to low-key pilot her character in the background, he absolutely nailed the mannerisms and choices for that character -- like he notices how his players want their characters to act and interact with others SO WELL that he can step in and be that character.

I took a liking to him from the very start. He is very interesting, caring and fun to interact with. He is articulate, creative and still challenges you every step of the way. I feel comfortable to be myself and try anything, within reason, to test my creative side (which isn't always easy for me). All-in-all, he sets a remarkable climate to play in and has held my interest from start to finish. He is easily accessible to interact with if issues arise. All told, he has his arms firmly around the D&D experience and makes everyone around him better for having played with him.

Dan is a FANTASTIC DM for learning. His sessions are well paced, easy to follow and great for explaining how the mechanics work. I am studying to be a DM and have learned more in our sessions than ever learning alone. Very funny with NPC’s and names. Highly recommended for entry and learning players like myself.
