About the adventure
Welcome to Curse of Strahd: The Golden Girls in Barovia—a humorous and cozy-horror spin on the classic 5e adventure, where the heroes are fierce, fabulous, and a little bit frail. This is a full campaign of Curse of Strahd where every player takes on the role of a senior citizen (all genders welcome) in Barovia. What You Can Expect: - A faithful but lightly comedic take on Curse of Strahd - Character-driven storylines - Lots of investigation, interaction and roleplay - Combat lighter version of Curse of Strahd Beginners are absolutely welcome! I love teaching new players! If you’ve ever wanted to tell a vampire ‘Bless your heart’ and mean it as an insult… this game is for you.

About me
✨ Hi there! I’m Laura, and I can’t wait to tell a story with you. I’m a lifelong storyteller and a Certified Play Practitioner, which is fancy talk for "I’ve spent my life learning how to make sure everyone has the best time possible." My games are inclusive, relaxed, and focused on fun collaboration and great storytelling. ✨ What to Expect at My Table✨ 🎭 Roleplaying Focus: Come ready to inhabit your character! We dive deep into the story, relationships, and lore. No voice acting needed. 😹 Laughter & Joy: While we love deep storytelling, we have an incredible amount of fun doing it. I frequently hear my players say, "My face hurts from laughing this much!" 🤗 Welcoming New Players: If you're relatively new to the hobby but eager to learn and grow your roleplaying skills, you are incredibly welcome here. 🏳️🌈 A Safe & Inclusive Space: My table is fiercely 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 supportive, inclusive, and designed to be an easy environment to settle into. My GM style is shaped by learning from and playing alongside some of the absolute best in the industry, including B. Dave Walters (Stranger Things), Jason Carl (LA by Night), Monte Cook (D&D 3.5), Beth the Bard, and Kelly Lynne D’Angelo. I specialize in the Dungeons & Dragons multiverse, specifically: The Domains of Dread: For when you want that delicious, spooky Gothic horror vibe. The Domains of Delight: For when you want to get lost in the whimsical, wild magic of the Feywild. I love doing fun takes on games. Some of my favorite have included: Golden Girls in Barovia Toy Story Dragon Delves Oops, all bad guys! Ready to step into the story? Grab a seat, bring your favorite beverage, and let’s create something we’ll be talking about for years!
