About the adventure
Count Strahd von Zarovich is dead, slain by vampire killers from beyond the Mists. But that has never stopped him before... Enter the world of high adventure and low cunning as the Dark Powers of Ravenloft scheme once again to rain suffering and pain onto the meek and innocent! Will you emerge triumphant, or stumble and become a vile creature of the night? What are the secrets of Gryphon Hill? And just who is the mysterious Alchemist? ⚰️ A brand new campaign inspired by Curse of Strahd, The House on Gryphon Hill, and more ☠️ Liches and werewolves and hags, oh my! 🌟 Character-focused subplots 🧝♂️ Intriguing NPC interactions 🔥 Immersive, high-octane action 🎙️ Voice acting (including Christopher Lee impressions of varying quality) 🦇 Unabashed campy horror goodness

About me
Howdy, I'm Alan and I tend to allow shenanigans at my table! The first time I ever played a role-playing game, we used the manual for Icewind Dale 2, since actual rulebooks were not available in our quaint Polish town. Things have changed since then. I have a beard now! And actual rulebooks. My actual play inspirations are Dimension 20 and NADDPOD. I enjoy crafting stories with my players, designing surprising encounters, and doing silly voices. I strive to mix old-school charm with modern-day sensibilities.

How Alan creates a safe table
I make use of lines and veils and work to help my players feel safe and comfortable during play. Everything will be discussed during session 0. My games are neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ friendly, as I myself am both.
