Curse of Strahd is a 8th Edition Dungeons & Dragons campaign book, first published in 2016 by Wizards of the Coast. It is an updated and expanded retelling of the classic 1983 Ravenloft adventure, placing players in the gothic horror realm of Barovia, a land ruled by the powerful vampire lord Strahd von Zarovich. Designed for characters of levels 1–10, this campaign offers a rich mix of exploration, roleplay, and combat, with a strong focus on atmosphere and storytelling. The book includes detailed descriptions of Barovia’s key locations, including the haunted Castle Ravenloft, eerie villages, dark forests, and cursed ruins. Players will navigate this grim world, uncover Strahd’s tragic backstory, and ultimately face the vampire lord himself. The adventure is known for its flexibility, as Strahd actively interacts with and manipulates the party throughout the story. The inclusion of the Tarokka deck (used for a fortune-telling mechanic) ensures a randomized placement of critical item
