So, I've been DMing Curse of Strahd for two groups and while there is a lot of extra homebrew content out there to expand the campaign, I felt like one of my favorite characters, the toymaker Gadof Blinsky, hasn't really gotten a proper exploration. So, I set out to fix that, adding some backstory for him and expanding the toy store into a fun little side mystery.
At the encouragement of my players, I have put this side adventure up on DMs Guild.

Gadof Blinskyis a famed toymaker known for bringing joy to children throughout the bleak country of Barovia. Or at least, he used to be.
That all changed after Blinsky and his wife welcomed their first child. The toymaker fell into a deep fit of anxiety and depression from which he never recovered.
In this mini-adventure, you will investigate Blinsky's toy shop and battle a strange toy that seems to have taken on a life of its own, eventually uncovering what happened to Blinsky’s family and unraveling the secret of what the toymaker is hiding in his attic.
Blinsky is No Fun!is a one or two session side adventure, for characters of levels 4-5, for use in the Curse of Strahd campaign setting.
