About the adventure
"I have seen an evil thing this night, I have seen how the dead drink the blood of the living!" The howls of wolves and shrieks of raven swarms echo through the dismal valleys and oppressive forests of Barovia. In isolated communities, superstitious villagers find the brightness in their lives smothered by dread of their aloof overlord, his baleful servants, and ancient evils that fester unopposed. All the domain’s residents know to fear the Mists and the long Barovian nights, as through them the Count Strahd von Zarovich watches and claims all he desires. Yet none realize their torments have played out over and over again, all part of Strahd’s plot to claim one victim who has eluded him for generations... Craft your character with player options tailored for horror adventures from Van Ritchen's Guide to Ravenloft, The Crooked Moon and Grim Hollow, all available on D&D Beyond!

There is a unique magic found in the collaborative storytelling games like D&D provide and it is my great joy to help facilitate that experience for you. Whether you are new to the hobby, an experienced player looking for a consistent group or a returning veteran of the old days I can't wait to roll the dice together!
