About the adventure
Experience Curse of Strahd with new eyes and a new system: Daggerheart. Built for narrative-driven play, Daggerheart amplifies the dread, tragedy, and creeping horror of Barovia, delivering its gloom in a fresh and genuinely terrifying way. Curse of Strahd is a fantastically written adventure module from Wizards of the Coast with a wealth of third party content to keep it fresh and new each time. However, the module itself is known for a terrible curse of it's own. The Curse of Villaki. For some reason no one quite understands, many campaigns seem to fall apart at the front gates of Villaki. Maybe its the insane web of intrigue and intersecting events. Maybe its the god awful chapter layout in the source book. Maybe its that a campaign takes several months to get there and people's schedules are complicated. Or maybe its a metaphysical curse that plagues the tabletop community for reasons unknown. Well I am DM Spaghetti, and I know this town like the back of my hand. Come join a rogues gallery of Adventurers who, like you, experienced their own harrowing entry into Barovia before finding themselves lost in the hustle and bustle of the Villakian streets. A full wiki of 'known' established lore for Barovia Village, Castle Ravenloft, Svalich Woods, the Mists, the Vistani, and much more is available to all players as a refresher. If you are a player who had their campaign end just after the gates to or from Villaki and want to experience the story and closure you were previously denied, this game is for you! Expect new terrors, new threats, and new allies alongside familiar foes twisted just enough to keep even veteran players uneasy. We can’t wait to have you for dinner.
