#CurseofStrahd session 11 went great, we finished the fight at the vinery, that i buffed a little bit, and it got a lil scary for my players so i'm pretty satisfied now they're gonna talk to the Martikov and next session will be roleplay heavy! #dnd

Yeah, okay.

So, in Curse of Strahd the Paladin is making advances on Vanasia (Vistana & reincarnation of Tatyana), who is very much reciprocating. Our Warlock is dating a cultist, who is fiercely in love and very fanatic, and our Bloodhunter is declaring her love to the Abbot (who has just outed himself as a Deva, and thinks the group has been sent by the Dark Powers to foil his divine mission).

Just a perfectly normal CoS campaign.

I want Curse of Strahd to include a cursed, but immensely powerful artifact, akin to the Hand of Vecna, that the players get to safekeep after the conclusion of the adventure.

An item that embodies Barovia (and it's overarching theme), that promises power, but exacts a heavy toll.

Currently, I'm thinking of making the "Tome of Strahd" into one, but having a "Heart of Strahd", "Claw of Strahd" or "Skull of Strahd" might also be interesting.

Ravenloft Poll: In our Curse of Strahd campaign each one of Strahd's female consorts has mastered a specific type of magic (blood, shadow, and vermin).

What should Escher be?

Hello. I suppose I should make a #introduction.

I am Vale, and I'm part of the same #plural system as @etherealsasha@transfem.social. I am an introject of our D&D character from #CurseOfStrahd - a changeling Aberrant Mind Sorcerer, with some features changed to be more fey-like.

My profile picture was drawn by our cleric, and the background is a photograph taken by Skye, an old headmate of ours, on the southern coast of Oregon.

I'll probably use this account to post whatever writing I've done, which currently is none, but I'd like to change that.

I'm not too sure what else to put here. If I think of anything, I'll reply to this post with it.

Ah yes, btw!
A couple days ago me and my friends had our *10th* session of dnd #CurseofStrahd!

The player characters met the man on their way to the winery and he oh so gently had fun with them. They for sure weren't expecting it. Seeing them nervously laugh at the table was great!!

Victor (curse of strahd npc) and North (my brst friend's player character), the two necromancers of the party in deep debate on the way to the winery

For the last arc of our "Curse of Strahd" campaign, the movie I've probably drawn the most inspiration from, is "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3"

You came to Barovia to defeat Strahd. You failed. Now your adventuring party is a coterie of neonate vampires bound to his will, striving to survive night to night, and perhaps still someday break free...or take his place as a Dark Lord.

Moin!

Gestern war ich erst mal total platt nach dem Stress mit dem Lasercutter. Daher früh ins Bett und jetzt senile Bettflucht.

Werde jetzt duschen, zum Bäcker (support your local heroes) gehen und frühstücken. Später gilt es den verlorenen Tag irgendwie aufzuholen und Spielvorbereitungen anzugehen. Kommende Woche stehen Sessions für #SwordsAndWizardry, #CurseOfStrahd und #DerEineRing2E an.

Dienstag geht’s Abends ins Irish Pub mit Freunden. Es wird wohl eine coole Woche.

Schönen Sonntag!

Malfë in Barovia

I reworked an old drawing because i was unhappy with the background and the proportions of it. I can finally say i like it :)

This Saturday is the comeback of my Curse of Strahd campaign! I will resume giving y'all a little summary of what happened in the session :D
obviously these posts are not spoil free, but i know some people liked it in the past!
#dnd #curseofstrahd

First D&D session of the year (Ravenloft). Started 2025 by having a major antagonist from one of the character's backstories resurface.

She's essentially a vampire blood mage, that uses a pack of "blood hounds" (feral vampires) to hunt, and is based on Volenta Popovich.

The party is at lvl 9, which means they'll be facing a lot of the big bads of Barovia in the next couple of sessions, concluding with Strahd von Zarovich.

I’ve got a new showreel. This one exclusively uses gothic horror music that I’ve written for Curse of Strahd, all from 2024.

Take a listen and let me know what you think.

All of the music is available on my Bandcamp: thearcanecomposer.bandcamp.com

Ravenloft Poll: The Abbot has left St. Markovia after hearing of angelic sightings in the Svalich Woods. After years of searching, he has yet to find the celestial behind it.

He assumes that the celestial cannot properly manifest in Barovia, as the dark forces in this land extinguish its light. In his madness, he intends to build something to aid the celestial, and allow it to enter Barovia.

What does he do in his madness?

Hey friends! So my new DnD mousepad designs came in as well as restocks! This MIGHT BE MY LAST MOUSEPAD ORDER??? If the Trump Tariffs pass, ordering more will become untenable. So if you're interested, snag one now!
