Hi there. I am Scuffles, a postgrad student of linguistics and literature. I have over 7 years of experience as a DM. Curse of Strahd is a Gothic Horror Adventure containing themes and topics like death, vampires, obsession, racism, character drama and heavy mystery.

A mysterious invitation arrives to you bearing an unfamiliar seal. The letter informs you to come and attend the festival of the First Harvest in the city of Daggerford near Waterdeep. It is quite curious as the invitation has no names, nor any markings. However, along with the invitation is the passes to the Mermaid's Pearl, a grand opera in the city of Daggerford. The letter ends with the mention of a 'handsome reward for your troubles (500 gp worth of diamonds)' and a promise to provide you with 'opportunity of a lifetime like any other.'

Things to Expect

• A heavily roleplay-focused Gothic horror campaign with lots of character drama, social interaction and deep rp moments.

• Likeable NPCs, complex heroes and villains with complex motivations.

• Minimum but tactical combat where every victory is earned

• Mystery, exploration, intrigue and difficult choices that your character must make

• A living world where your choices and decisions shape the path forward.
