About the adventure
You are not welcome here. You will come to dread the day you even heard of this place. This is Ravenloft, domain of the dark lord. Curse of Strahd is a gothic horror–themed adventure for both new and experienced players. At its core, this is still your story, your characters, your choices, and the fate you carve out in a land that does not forgive easily. You are here for a reason. Whether by fate, mistake, or something far worse, you have been drawn into this place. What that means, we will discover together. Expect a dark, immersive journey filled with tension, mystery, and survival horror. Strange allies, terrifying enemies, and impossible choices await at every turn. The world is filled with new character options, including unique species, classes, and subclasses, alongside a host of sinister monsters and deadly challenges designed to test both courage and creativity. This is not a place of heroics. It is a place of survival.

About me
Hey there! I'm Milos. By day, used to be work-from-home landscape architect, now every day, I put on my GM pointy hat. Just a fair warning, I can't resist a dad joke when opportunity arises. For me, it's all about the narrative. I believe in a RPG experience where players are co-creators, shaping the world and narrative alongside the GM. The story is about their characters and the journey and arc they have to go trough. So, if you're ready for a journey where storytelling takes the spotlight , I'm here and eager to make it happen! Join my little community and meet some great people and ttrpg lovers!
