Dive into the dark, gothic world of *Curse of Strahd*, an advanced Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition campaign designed for teens (ages 13-17) who are ready for a challenging, immersive roleplaying experience. Set in the mysterious and eerie realm of Barovia, this campaign offers complex storytelling, strategic gameplay, and unforgettable adventures under the guidance of a professional Dungeon Master.

In this campaign, players will master advanced D&D skills as they explore a richly detailed world filled with dark fantasy elements, including vampires, haunting landscapes, and morally complex choices. Teens will build and optimize their characters, engage in tactical combat, and navigate through intricate plotlines, all while deepening their roleplaying techniques and social skills.

Throughout the campaign, players will face layered problem-solving challenges, interact with compelling NPCs, and make critical decisions that will shape their journey. With a small group size (4-6 players), this campaign ensures personalized attention and an intense, collaborative experience.

This campaign is ideal for teens who have prior D&D experience and are looking to expand their knowledge and abilities. It’s a perfect fit for those who enjoy gothic horror, dark fantasy, and complex storytelling, as well as strategic gameplay that demands thoughtful decision-making and teamwork.

Prepare to test your skills, make difficult choices, and explore the shadows of Barovia—where danger lurks at every turn and heroes are forged in darkness. Spots are limited, so don’t miss your chance to join this thrilling adventure!

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Content Advisory: The Curse of Strahd contains gothic horror themes suitable for teens 14+. Similar to classic literature like Dracula, the campaign includes: • Gothic horror elements and atmosphere • Fantasy combat and conflict • Complex moral choices • Themes of good versus evil • Non-graphic horror elements • References to supernatural creatures While the content is age-appropriate for teens and comparable to PG-13 movies, our DM presents all material tastefully and ensures a supportive, safe gaming environment. We focus on storytelling, problem-solving, and teamwork rather than horror elements. Parents are welcome to discuss specific content concerns with the instructor. Recommended for teens who: • Can handle spooky stories and gothic themes • Are emotionally mature • Enjoy strategic thinking and complex narratives • Can distinguish fantasy from reality
