Curse of Strahd

Your game master
ElStormeo

Castle Ravenloft towers above a mist-filled Barovian valley, with warm village lights and a lantern on the forest road.

Welcome to Barovia.

The road behind you has vanished into mist. Ahead, a few windows still burn against the dark. Somewhere above them, Castle Ravenloft watches the valley.

You and your companions have crossed into Count Strahd von Zarovich’s domain. Finding a way home will take more than surviving the road.

A world worth caring about

I care about the small things that make a world worth saving: a meal shared after a terrible night, a promise remembered, somebody opening a door when they have every reason to be afraid. Those moments give the danger its weight.

The people you meet have needs, loyalties and limits. Listening can change a situation. So can refusing a bargain, taking a risk or deciding that somebody deserves a second chance. Your party chooses what it is willing to protect.

Roleplay, discovery and dangerous decisions

Expect substantial roleplay, investigation and exploration alongside tactical combat. A battle might turn on positioning, an ally you earned or a clever use of a feature you nearly forgot. Some threats call for preparation, negotiation or retreat. When your plan works, it deserves to work.

Carefully prepared scenes, atmospheric music, visual maps and distinct NPC voices help make the place tangible. There is room between the danger for humour, awkward friendships and conversations that change how you see each other.

Curse of Strahd, reloaded

This is my interpretation of Curse of Strahd, built on DragnaCarta’s Curse of Strahd: Reloaded. That community reworking gives the adventure a cohesive foundation, deeper relationships and challenging encounters. Our table adapts that material for the D&D 2024 rules listed here, alongside my own preparation and your decisions.

You can enjoy this as your first visit to Barovia. Returning players should expect familiar places to lead somewhere different, and give the other players room to discover them.

New players belong here

You don’t need an accent, an elaborate backstory or a tragic monologue. A question, a joke, a practical plan or a few words at the right moment can change the evening. Tell me what you want to try; I’ll help with the rules and offer clear starting options when you need them.

Come ready to share the spotlight, care about your companions and engage with a strange, wounded world. Read the content notes below and ask about any limits before requesting a seat.

Stories with heart. Monsters with teeth. I’m Storm, better known as ElStormeo. I run D&D for the moments that stay with you: a desperate stand, an unexpected friendship, a ridiculous plan that somehow works. Expect vivid places, people worth caring about, and choices that change what happens next. I put care into the…
