Curse of Strahd Revamped

Available to play any day or time other than Sundays, not just Saturday. 18+, Paid, Professional DM
You step inside the abandoned house, eager to find shelter from the chilling mist that clings to your cloak. The furnishings are simple, the walls plain - a reflection of a populace more concerned with survival than appearance. The place looks absolutely ancient - dust piled up so high you think it might be able to serve as your bed tonight. You shudder to think of what might have caused this place to be abandoned, but if it's this or stumbling blind through a forest draped in freezing cold mist, you'll settle for the meager accommodations. Your packs thump to the floor, sending up a cloud of dust as you throw them off and settle into a rickety armchair. You thank Lathandar for a blessed moment of peace, finally able to rest after a long journey. Only, you can't shake the feeling that this place isn't abandoned after all...

There! Something just creaked upstairs! A floorboard, and was that other sound you dismissed earlier the sound of a window opening? No... it could just be the house settling, adjusting to its new arrival. But it could also be something... far worse. You've seen your fair share of monsters in your adventures, but ever since your arrival in this strange mist covered land you know something has been watching. "Has it been waiting, all this time, for me to finally let my guard down?" you can't help but worrying. There's no way you can sleep now, despite the walls keeping out the cold a prickling chill runs across your arm and down your spine. Steeling yourself for the worst, you clutch your axe in one hand and your arcane focus in the other, and slowly approach the stairs. If the house can't keep out the chill then perhaps a little fire can, and you focus on the words needed to unleash a firebolt from your fingertips. It's only when you crest the peak of the stair can you begin to smell the rot - a putrid mix of death, blood, bile, and decay. Your meager firebolt fizzles as both your concentration and your arcane focus slip; the latter dropping from your grasp and clattering down the steps. Nothing could have prepared you for this, not 20 years of adventuring, not all the training and books on mage craft in the world. You don't even attempt to recover your arcane focus or the rest of your belongings as you flee in terror back out into the haunting mist. The last thing you remember seeing before you leapt down the stairs and out the fractured front door is the glint of two polished fangs, and two pinpoints of light - eyes; their overwhelming malice and hatred seared into your mind for years to come.

Get ready for a revamped, remade, and reimagined version of what is widely considered the best published D&D 5e adventure - Curse of Strahd! Through hundreds of hours of tireless work and the support of the dedicated Curse of Strahd subreddit, I am bringing THE definitive version of this classic adventure to a willing group of players... or perhaps... victims! Brave the cursed land of Barovia, shrouded in swirling mists and home to all manner of terrifying monsters, maniacal rulers, and exceptional fun! If you are looking for a serious, character-driven story with morally challenging decisions that will shape the land and its people you will find no better campaign - and no better DM. I have been a DM for this game since 5e came out and started doing so full time over the pandemic, so I have the time and energy to work with you to ensure you have the best experience possible. I've run this adventure to completion multiple times, each and every time discovering new ways to engage and excite my players, so if you are looking for a finely crafted world full of multi-dimensional NPC's and challenging (but always fair!) gameplay, this is it. I have custom location and token art commissioned from a professional artist, a plethora of write ups and information penned by yours truly or members of the subreddit, and a beautifully drawn battlemap for every location courtesy of DM Andy on Patreon. I am ready for anything, so I hope you're ready to save Barovia!
