About the adventure
Under raging storm clouds, a lone figure stands silhouetted against the ancient walls of Castle Ravenloft. The vampire Count Strahd von Zarovich stares down a sheer cliff at the village below. A cold, bitter wind spins dead leaves about him, billowing his cape in the darkness. Lightning splits the clouds overhead, casting stark white light across him. Strahd turns to the sky, revealing the angular muscles of his face and hands. He has a look of power—and of madness. His once handsome face is contorted by a tragedy darker than the night itself. Rumbling thunder pounds the castle spires. The wind’s howling increases as Strahd turns his gaze back to the village. Far below, yet not beyond his ken, a party of adventurers has just entered his domain. Strahd’s face forms a twisted smile as his dark plan unfolds. He knew they were coming, and he knows why they have come—all according to his plan. He, the master of Ravenloft, will attend to them. Another lightning flash rips through the darkness, its thunder echoing through the castle’s towers. But Strahd is gone. Only the howling of the wind—or perhaps a lone wolf—fills the midnight air. The master of Ravenloft is having guests for dinner. And you are invited. Curse of Strahd is a story of gothic horror, presented here as Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game adventure for a party of four to six adventurers of levels 1–10. A balance of character classes is helpful, since the adventurers will face a variety of challenges. Each character class will certainly have its moment to shine. Curse of Strahd is a great adventure for beginners and veterans. most groups finish it out at around 30 weekly 3 hour sessions. team work is key and careful planning for this adventure.

About me
Hello new player! My name is Sean and I've been a running adventures since 2018. Born and raised in Southern California, I grew up surrounded by cinema and theater. Like so many others I became curious of DND and wanted to jump right in. I have been hooked on it ever since. What I like about this game is that your only limited to your imagination and do impossible things that no human being can do. I've also have a YouTube channel "McCluskers Gaming" where I host my Homebrew campaign on Foundry VTT. Foundry is my go to for online games as I am very familiar with the system. You are wondering how I run my games. I am not really a rules lawyer but at the same time rules can help the game not be broken, so my games are loose when it comes to that as DND rule can be not so clear sometimes. As it comes to being a chaotic player that I've experienced with over the years. I like a lot of shenanigan's around my table as it makes it more fun and interesting, But be courteous of other people around you. That is my main rule at my table. But enough about me.... Lets talk about you...What type of adventure are you looking for? Are you a new player looking to step into a world of make believe and you don't know where to start? No need to worry, as we were all lost and confused once before. I would guide you and to make sure that we get through this together. You will not be disappointed. A veteran player whos ready to start a new adventure and meet new adventurers. You've come to the right place. I would make your experience memorable. Are you a problem solver, and like puzzles? Then get ready to scratch your head a lot or feel good on solving that ridiculous revolving room trap. Want to just do a one shot and done? Then lets get it done. Thank you for taking the time and reading about me. Hope to see you in our adventures some time soon!!!!
