About the adventure
✨You can expect ✨ 📅 Weekly sessions spanning levels 1-10 🎭 Extensive Roleplay with PCs and NPCs ⚔️ Challenging Combat and unique monsters 🌟 Custom content, side quests, expanded missions, merchants and more! Under stormy skies, Count Strahd von Zarovich, the vampire ruler of Castle Ravenloft, gazes down at the village below. A cold wind swirls around him as lightning illuminates his powerful and mad visage, twisted by dark tragedy. As thunder rumbles, Strahd notices a group of adventurers entering his domain. With a sinister smile, he acknowledges that their arrival is part of his plan. Another lightning flash reveals that Strahd has vanished, leaving only the howling wind or a lone wolf's cry. The master of Ravenloft is having guests for dinner, and you are invited. Join the campaign for "Curse of Strahd" and step into a world where gothic horror reigns supreme. Can you unravel the mysteries of this cursed land and confront the vampire lord, or will you become another pawn in his twisted game? The adventure awaits, and the master of Ravenloft is expecting you.
Game style
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Rules as Written (RaW)
Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

Eryn is an incredibly organised and creative DM. Each session filled with detailed and clarity of character and story I felt like I could see all of it right in front of me. Each fight so smoothly ran it felt like playing a video game, but with the added freedom to add our own flair and experience it in a more realistic way than simple grid combat. She crafted a really wonderful and safe space for us to play and encouraged our participation and role play to create really wonderful moments together and with the many and vibrant characters of the world. With graphical assets, music and sound effects, she provides the most complete and immersive experience you can have in a tabletop rpg. Highly recommend you experience these for yourself and try one of her campaigns.

I am currently playing in two of Eryn's games and she is an absolutely lovely GM with a real passion that comes across in her games. She has shown an excellent grasp of adapting official material to fit her player's characters as well as the skills needed to craft a unique take on the post-calamity era of the world of Exandria, that supports a deep roleplaying experience. It has been an absolute joy collaborating with her to bring my characters to life (or death!). I would thoroughly recommend joining one of her games and look forward to seeing where the adventures take her in the future!

Eryn is an excellent GM. She encourages party creativity while also not pulling any punches during combat. On top of her skills as a GM, she has also created a fun, active community of players to engage with on Discord. This campaign has also included some fun Easter Eggs for Critical Role fans, which was a very pleasant surprise.

I absolutely adore Eryn's game. It's a lot of fun, we have time and space for roleplay and her combat is challenging. Plus, she draws really great players to her tables! Highly recommend her!

Eryn has always been willing to help me as I blunder character creation, whether it be me picking up the wrong spell, not knowing about multiclassing rules and even changing my class. Her games are always challenging and she has a unique spin on the campaign module Call to the Netherdeep!

How will character creation work
Characters start at level 1. I am happy to work with you on your backstory or can craft one for you if you are interested. I want you to play a character you enjoy, so I will work with you as much as possible so we can craft that character for you. Character creation will be done through a private discord channel within the campaign category.
