About the adventure
Strahd has grown tired, trapped in a time loop, with everyone else losing their memory over and over. Every time he dies he is reborn to the exact same moment. He has decided to include all of you in on the curse, so that you may too remember your memories when time restarts. Strahd has decided to work together with the party, after you destroyed each other thousands of times already, only for time to restart again. Work together, or against Strahd, to try and free Barovia and yourselves from this infinite time loop you are all trapped in! 💰Free session 0💰 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️LGBTQIA+ Friendly, Safe Space, and Beginners welcome!

About me
Hello, I'm Leaf! I'm a neurodivergent voice actor, GM, fantasy writer, and I make DnD/RPG content on Youtube/Twitch under the handle aStoryofaLeaf. I have a background in theatre during High school and film production during college, so I approach my games in a very thematic way. I have been a GM & player for several years, and long before I had anyone to play DnD or TTRPGs with, I was an avid worldbuilder, storyteller, and writer for 17+ years. I've always loved collaborative storytelling and I believe that TTRPGs are the best medium for that, so as soon as I started playing DnD 5e with friends, I was hooked! I strive to run games that are compelling, inclusive, dramatic, comedic, & above all fun! Player agency and providing a safe space for my players to tell the story they want for their characters are very important to me. I want my players to experience gut busting laughter, heartbreaking drama, unsuspected shock, terrifying suspense, and any other cathartic emotional release that they seek. My games are PC-centric, unique, and tailormade to bring the PCs into the larger narrative. I specialize in sandbox open-world style games. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️LGBTQIA+ Friendly, Safe Space, and Beginners welcome! I am happy to teach and assist new players every step of the way! ✉️ Feel free to send me a message with any questions!

Leaf is an outstanding Dm, his voices are fun and distinct. Each of his characters are thought out and interesting, his world building is indepth in a way the allow players to create interesting and deep character that feel like they truly belong in the world he created. Hes fast to respond and gives information out at a constant and easy to absorbe rate, overall hes a pleasure to play with.

One of the greatest if not the best DM that I have played with in my years of playing 5e. Leif is extremely easily to get along with and creates an amazing world for the players to become completely invested and immersed in. What I appreciate the most is his willingness to answer all of our questions with fast replies which is very hard to find.

Nothing like realising you hadn't left a review until just now lol, but Leaf is one of my favourite DMs. They're an amazing storyteller with an extensive homebrew world and collection of fun voices for various NPCs. I feel safe at all the campaign tables I'm in with Leaf which is a big factor for me with DnD and playing with strangers. Highly, highly recommend!!

I've had the pleasure of being in a few of Leaf's games by now, and they've always been excellently paced, full of just the right balance of RP, combat, and exploration for my tastes, and very entertaining. He does voices, immersive descriptions, and has a very developed world that feels like it has stakes, consequences, and room to grow my PC in any direction their whims take them. I've been having a blast in their games so far and hope to continue in this campaign for a while.

Very solid guy and an exciting story that is being told throughout every session. The NPCs he creates are memorable, and the battles are just the right amount of challenging. Can't recommend him enough.
