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.

About me
Greetings Adventurers! 🎲 Welcome to the realm of epic tales and daring adventures! I am Eryn, your dedicated Dungeon Master for hire, and I'm thrilled to be your guide through the countless realms of imagination. 🧙♂️ From a young age, I found solace and excitement in the world of gaming and storytelling. The fantastical landscapes of The Legend of Zelda and the immersive lore of Final Fantasy XIV sparked the flames of my creativity. These games not only shaped my love for rich narratives but also cultivated the storyteller within me. 🔮 I find joy in crafting experiences that transport players to new worlds, challenge their wits, and forge bonds that extend beyond the tabletop. I believe in the power of storytelling to unite, inspire, and create memories that linger long after the dice have settled. 📜 As your Dungeon Master, I bring a unique blend of creativity, adaptability, and a genuine love for collaborative storytelling. Whether you're a seasoned adventurer or a newcomer to the realms of Dungeons & Dragons, I tailor each session to ensure everyone has a seat at the table and a chance to shine. ⚔️ Embark on a journey with me, and let's explore the uncharted territories of your imagination together. Uncover hidden secrets, face legendary foes, and create a story that belongs uniquely to you and your fellow adventurers. 🌌 The table is set, and the dice are ready – are you prepared for the adventure of a lifetime? Let the stories begin!

Creating your character
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.

Safety
How Eryn creates a safe table
I prioritise creating a safe, respectful, and comfortable environment for everyone at the table. At the start of the campaign, I use tools like a deck of player safety cards along with Lines and Veils to establish clear boundaries and ensure everyone’s preferences are understood. These are always open for revision as the game progresses. During sessions, we take regular mid-session breaks to help avoid fatigue and give players space to reset if needed. I also maintain an open door policy, meaning players are always free to step away at any time for any reason, no questions asked. Communication is key, so I encourage players to speak up if something feels uncomfortable, either during or after the session, and I’m always happy to adjust content to keep the experience enjoyable for everyone.
