She Is the Ancient: A Curse of Strahd Reimagining
https://startplaying.games/adventure/cmis343f400bcl104gftkfc4g

Barovia is dying. Choked by mist, ruled by fear, and haunted by the broken heart of Countess Strahd von Zarovich, a once-great warlord who traded her soul for eternal power and lost everything. Now she reigns from the heights of Castle Ravenloft, her land a prison of regret and obsession. And somehow, the mists have chosen you.

If you want gothic horror with emotional weight, personal stakes, and a villain who plays cat-and-mouse with your party, this is the campaign built for you.

What You’ll Experience

• Explore Barovia’s haunted valleys, decaying estates, forgotten temples, and cursed villages.
• Navigate factions who are terrified, broken, or complicit — all shaped by the Countess’s influence.
• Face moral choices that matter. Fear isn’t the only weapon here; temptation and manipulation cut just as deep.
• Meet reworked NPCs with more agency, depth, and surprising agendas.
• Fight monsters born of grief, hunger, obsession, and old magic.
• Enjoy an online resource hub with maps, notes, and recaps each week.

This isn’t a straight read-through of the classic book. She Is the Ancient gives Barovia a stronger voice, deeper character arcs, and a villain who doesn’t just terrorize you — she studies you.

Why Play at My Table?

I’ve been playing D&D for forty years and running it almost as long. Horror campaigns are where I do some of my best work (I’ve worked on and written several horror movies). I know how to build tension without railroading, encourage bold choices, and let roleplay drive the story.

My background in creative writing and film means I focus on pacing, mood, and character moments that hit. I treat the table like a collaborative story, not a pre-written script. If your choices take the game in a direction the book didn’t expect, I follow it and make it matter.

You’ll get a DM who understands what makes Curse of Strahd special (I’ve run this campaign twice), and how She Is the Ancient elevates it.

Who This Campaign Is For

• You enjoy gothic horror, moral tension, and a villain who isn’t just a stat block.
• You like exploration, atmosphere, and character-driven play.
• You want a DM who supports bold ideas, rewards clever play, and makes the world react to you.
• You’re looking for a table that’s inclusive, respectful, and focused on shared stories.

My table is very inclusive and we’ll use Roll20, D&D Beyond, and Discord.

Why Pay for a Professional DM?

You get reliable sessions with consistent prep and quality. Players stay committed, which keeps momentum strong and cancellations rare. I tailor the adventure to your characters and bring a full suite of resources, tools, and rules support so you don’t have to juggle any of it.
