About the adventure
A roleplay heavy, emotionally driven story experience. A great story will always come before optimization and "winning". My objective as a game designer is to immerse you fully into the haunted lands of Barovia, where fear, paranoia, and dread are ever-lingering in your mind. Curse of Strahd is a classic and legendary module for good reason, but not for the faint of heart. Expect to lose some people (including PC's) along the way, but do so in service of telling a wonderfully chilling story. My DM style is catered for role-players and storytellers, so I may not be the best DM for min-maxers and optimizers.

About me
I am a professional game designer who is passionate about evoking feelings in my players. My game design background shows up in the way I curate sessions for my players. The game I create is entirely informed by what my players are looking for, and what feelings and types of enjoyment they are hoping to extract from the experience. What sets me apart is I take special care to understand my players, their characters, and spend no shortage of time weaving their backstories into the game. It is very important to me that players feel like they have agency, and that the world they inhabit feels like it would exist and change independently of their character's intervention. If you are looking for a DM that focuses on emotionally driven storytelling, lets the game world and NPC's react to player input in meaningful ways, and goes the distance to make sure everyone is comfortable with their roleplaying, look no further!
