About the adventure

Are you afraid of the dark? New & experienced players are welcome to experience the chilling world of Barovia & the domain of Strahd Von Zarovich, a gothic horror adventure that will test your courage and cunning. Curse of Strahd: A Classic D&D Adventure Descend into the dark and mysterious land of Barovia, where ancient secrets, monstrous creatures, and one of the greatest villains in D&D. Unravel the curse that grips this land and confront the legendary Strahd von Zarovich in a campaign filled with suspense, intrigue, and heart-pounding encounters. Adventure Details Perfect for 3-4 players. Levels 1-10. Campaign length: 40-50 hours (typically 10-12 sessions). Regular weekly sessions (flexible scheduling available). Balanced mix of combat, exploration, roleplaying, and social encounters. Character creation assistance provided in session 0 & outside of scheduled game time. A DM that is happy to play on your doubts, fears, weave lies, manipulate & thrill! Yes, I do the voices. Each NPC will be recognizable & unique, especially the BBEG himself. Curse Of Strahd is my all time favorite adventure that I have ran many times & I enjoy mixing it up so it may not begin as your usual adventure. Well-paced storyline with regular achievements. Mix of combat, social interaction, and puzzle-solving. Opportunities for both individual spotlight moments and team victories. One of the most, most memorable villains in D&D. Do you dare take a seat at my table? But, be warned. Once you enter Barovia, it may not be so easy to leave.

About me

Hello, my name is Joe, I'm 28 years old & I have been a DM for the past 6 years running both games online through roll20 & in real life. I have had overwhelmingly positive feedback from my many players which has prompted me to start hosting games on here. I am a fair & enthusiastic DM who promises a compelling story with a clear, concise narrative with plenty of whacky characters & voices along the way. I'm confident 2 sessions & my stories will have you hooked, however if I'm not the DM for you I understand & so I would like to offer the first 2 sessions of any campaign I run for free so if you aren't satisfied with my DM'ing, you haven't wasted any money. Don't be shy, say hello & let's embark on original & unforgettable adventures.
