About the adventure
Join the table for a seasonal classic. This stand alone one-shot was designed as an introduction to "Curse of Strahd". Discover the terrifying secrets of Durst Manor and try your best to live to tell about it. 🩸Somewhere along the way you became lost in the mists, separated from your known world, the road beneath your feet the only thing tangible. 🩸Two children standing in the roadway, scared and alone. "There's a monster in our house." 🩸The house stands tall against the swirling mists, it's balconies and sweeping roof tragically beautiful and desperately foreboding. 🏚️The cold iron gate grins a welcome as you approach the Death House of Barovia as you knew you would from the beginning. Death House is an introduction to Barovia, the tortured Domain of Dread, where Count Strahd rules the land. All maps in this adventure and were created by Morvold Press.
