Comedic Curse of Strahd
Strahd is an loser who chases a woman who will never love him. Everyone in Ravenloft would agree, if not for the immense fear.

About the adventure
Curse of Strahd is an exciting, tense, fast-paced adventure. It is a vivid exploration of classic gothic horror tropes and monsters, from werewolves to vampires, ghosts, and more. It is a true sandbox, providing players with the freedom to make their own choices and build the kind of adventure they enjoy. It is an unabashedly character-driven campaign, giving your player character an incredible chance to shine and make their mark on the story your group tells. However, Curse of Strahd is also a brutal, stressful, and alienating experience. Your character will be trapped in a bleak, gothic land quite different from the world they know, though those who live here are not as serious as they should be. I run a modded Curse of Strahd where the focus is getting to Strahd instead of the normal fetch quests. The campaign has a heavy comedic lean, but not without the brutality and violence of Ravenloft. I have also updated the themes of Strahd to move away from more problematic aspects. If you join this game, you will find yourself in a dark world full of goofballs who want to help and silly monsters that want to eat you.

About me
Hello! My name is Charles and I'm looking to plan D&D sessions for you (your party or strangers!) I have been Dungeon Mastering for 10+ years and have been DMing twice weekly for 4+ years. You'll like playing with me if you love; the rule of cool, well painted scenes/combat, or collaborative worldbuilding.

Creating your character
I like to create characters together during Session 1 so everyone starts on the same page and the party fits the campaign's overall theme. If you're already comfortable building characters, you're welcome to create one beforehand, but I'll still need to approve it to make sure it fits the setting.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a Discord account for voice communication and a Roll20 account to access the game. Before the first session, you'll receive invitations to both the Discord server and the Roll20 game. All maps, handouts, character resources, and other Roll20 materials will be provided, so there's nothing extra you need to purchase or prepare beyond creating your accounts.
What Charles brings to the table
My games are story-first, with a strong focus on roleplay, exploration, and player choice. I enjoy giving each NPC their own personality to help bring the world to life. Combat is cinematic and rewarding without getting bogged down in excessive crunch. While I value the rules as a foundation, I'm a firm believer in the Rule of Cool when it creates memorable moments and fits the spirit of the game. Clever ideas, teamwork, and creative problem-solving are always encouraged and often rewarded.

How Charles creates a safe table
Before Session 0, I'll send everyone a Google Form that covers safety tools, including Lines and Veils, along with a few questions about your playstyle, expectations, and character ideas. Please fill it out before we meet so I can tailor the campaign to the group and make sure everyone is comfortable. During Session 0, we'll review the results together, discuss any boundaries or expectations, create characters, and establish the party's connections. After each session, I'll check in with the group for feedback, address any concerns, and make adjustments as needed to ensure everyone continues to have a fun and comfortable experience.
