Hi everyone! I’m currently running a few paid online D&D 5e games through Roll20 and Discord, including campaigns and one-shots.
My style as a DM is very welcoming, immersive, and roleplay-friendly. I love story, character moments, memorable NPCs, and making players feel like they really matter in the world. I always want my table to feel approachable and supportive, whether you’re completely new to D&D or you’ve been playing for years. You don’t need to be amazing at roleplay or know every rule, just be up for getting involved and having a good time.
I use music and atmosphere to help bring games to life, and I like running adventures where there’s a good mix of roleplay, exploration, combat, and meaningful choices. I also enjoy giving players space to connect with NPCs, build relationships in the party, and help shape the story as we go.
Right now I’m running:
Curse of Strahd - every other Saturday at 8pm BST
Curse of Strahd - every other Sunday at 5pm BST
A beginner-friendly one-shots
I’ll put the full details, prices, and links for each game in the replies below. If anything sounds like your kind of game, feel free to reply here or message me on Discord: drewstanpai
🦇 **NEW STARTPLAYING GAME - RAVENLOFT: TALES FROM THE MISTS** 🌫️
The Mists are calling...
I'm excited to announce a brand new series of standalone **Ravenloft horror one-shots**! Each adventure will take place in a different **Domain of Dread**, featuring its own unique style of horror. You can join for a single session or return for future adventures as we explore the terrifying realms hidden within the Mists.
🕯️ **Our first adventure takes us to Barovia...**
The village has fallen silent. Doors are barred before sunset, frightened whispers fill the streets, and something stalks the night. The locals speak of a devil in the castle, but tonight you'll discover that not every monster lurks behind ancient walls...
Expect:
🦇 Gothic horror
🎭 Heavy roleplay and memorable NPCs
⚔️ Tactical combat
🕵️ Mystery and investigation
🎵 Atmospheric music, maps, and immersive storytelling
📖 **System:** D&D 2024 (5.5e)
⭐ **Level:** 5
👥 New and experienced players are both welcome!
If you've ever wanted to experience the dark, gothic horror of Ravenloft without committing to a full campaign, this is the perfect opportunity.
The Mists are rising... will you answer their call?

Looking for 2 more players: "Astarion's Family Feud" — Level 3 One-Shot (BG3-inspired)
Astarion's newest "sister" has been plotting to kill him — and he's turned to a group of adventurers to help him find out why before it's too late. Expect gothic atmosphere, tactical combat against assassins and infernal horrors, and a chance to actually interact with Astarion himself.
Details:
I run roleplay-heavy but combat-lite games with a strong focus on making everyone feel like their choices matter. Safety tools (X-Card, Lines & Veils) are always in place, and I'm happy to help new players build characters before the session.

A deadly fog drags you into a cursed land ruled by a powerful vampire. To survive, you'll need to face monsters, uncover dark secrets, and decide what you're willing to sacrifice to escape...
Welcome to Barovia - a land of mist, sorrow, and old wounds that never truly healed. Beneath its crumbling castles, haunted forests, and silent villages lies a story of obsession, grief, power, and love twisted into something monstrous. At the heart of it all stands Strahd von Zarovich: a vampire lord whose gaze reaches across the land, and whose hunger is not only for blood, but for the impossible promise of love and possession.
This is a gothic horror campaign for players who want a strong emotional core - tragic romance, dangerous beauty, uneasy desire, and the feeling that every kindness or cruelty echoes through the dark. Expect memorable NPCs, tense encounters, dark fairytale atmosphere, and choices that feel as personal as they are perilous.
System: D&D 5e | Campaign: Curse of Strahd
Levels: 1–12 (starting fresh at Session 0)
Schedule: Bi-weekly, Sundays @ 4:00 PM UTC

GM Style
Immersive and roleplay-focused, with a big focus on character dynamics, emotional tension, and story-rich moments. Expect a balance of roleplay, exploration, combat, and atmosphere - with music and ambience to bring scenes to life. Barovia is dangerous and tragic, but the table itself is welcoming, collaborative, and supportive.
Content Warnings: Blood, Death, Emotional Abuse, Forced Blood Draining, Kidnapping, Mind Control, Murder, Violence
Safety Tools: Session 0, X/N/O Cards, shared safety doc, regular check-ins, Stars & Wishes debriefs
Character creation happens together at Session 0 - we'll roll for stats, and I'm happy to help newer players build something that fits the story and the party.
If you're drawn to dark fantasy, gothic horror, and a game where your choices actually mean something - Barovia is ready to open its gates for one more soul.
