• CURSE OF STRAHD CAMPAIGN ANIMATIC • Smiling Fate

Great video, is it possible to take a view in your storyboard for that campaign? ;P

I wonder how similair this is to curse of strahdanya

NO WAY MY BLUEWATER INN BURNED DOWN TOO

My players ended up blowing the castle up

This is really cool and dramatic! Makes me a bit sad our CoS campaign ended like this

My goth dropout wizard: “Times like these, I’m reminded of the words of my evocation teacher, Professor Sue Gone.”

“Professor Sue Gone?”

“SUE GONE THIS DICK!” kills Strahd with high level fireball

it is known

Had this in my favorites for a year, only just now realizing I never commented.

I've never gotten to play Curse of Strahd. It's one of the only books where I won't even read it ahead of getting to play in it. And this...

This animatic is everything I would want that campaign to be. I had a 5-year long game that was inspired by older Ravenloft among other things, and this video evokes all the same emotions I remember having while running it. And hope I was able to give my players.

Thanks for this. 'Masterpiece', like others have said, is just about right.

I come back to this video so offten i love so much, hope you are doing well

I absolutely love this animatic. I adore CoS and this is one of the best animatics I’ve ever seen

I don’t have the words for how good this is. I’m on the brink of tears every time I watch. Thank you for creating this

Goes crazy

I watch this video everytime I need motivation to prep for my sessions. It just moves something in me to make a great adventure

It's pure awesomeness, thanks!

Damn dude, you Alive?

What is the name of the music?

As a DM just starting Curse of Strahd, I would LOVE to hear stories from your campaign.

This is all kinds of fantastic, the song fits that campaign perfectly. I have so many conflicting feelings about CoS. I created one of my all-time favorite characters for it (a Tabaxi barbarian named Problems Look Like Nails who wields a rather large warhammer) and we did a ton of memorable stuff over the year and change we played it. Unfortunately the player who was DMing that campaign in our group (he and another player swapped off DM/campaigns every few sessions to prevent burnout) left the group due to personal reasons right as we got to Castle Ravenoft, so now we'll never have an ending. I miss that campaign and those characters, but Nails at least lives on in the graphic novel I'm making about her. I'll play her again someday, I'm sure, but I'll have to make up my own story about how she got out of Barovia...

This is am awesome animatic=3 Amazing job=3

Whats this from?

i love watching this little cinematic every once in awhile. i’ve played it about three times at this point and reading some of the comments about everyone’s campaigns is fun.

one of my pc was an hexblade warlock (later made a pact with strahd and became undead warlock) who was able to go back in time and reverse some of the mess. now she’s the countess and while strahd acts a shadow ruler. another one was a barovian vengeance pally turned redemption who was turned to a dhampir by strahd (took a dip into warlock for the sunsword/sergei to be his patron too). :3

Извините, но кто нибудь объяснить что тут происходит?

You guys had a great run. Nicely done.

Hmm. Almost getting kissed doesn't quite make it on the list of the "such sights" Ravenloft has to show you...

❤

i watch this very regularly, its wonderful i love everything about it-

My group finished Curse of Strahd last year. Seeing people share their parties and want to add mine. Our Kenku bard made a pact with the Wereravens and become one, multiclassing into a Warlock of the Raven Queen. Our Reborn Fighter sacrificing himself in the Amber temple to Sever Strahd's Power. Our other Reborn, a Profane Soul Blood Hunter, who Multiclassed into Bladesinger Wizard inheriting the will of the order of the Silver Dragon and of Sergei Zarovich. Our Dusk Elf Wizard becoming the new leader of them, instilling hope and a potential conquest of the land. My character, A tiefling Battlesmith Artificer taking up the Blade and Cause of our Reborn Fighter, and our Tabaxi Druid/Warlock restoring the nature of Barovia after a failed attempt at saving the land before on her own

OOOO GOOD CINEMATIC STORYTELLING HECK YEAH!!!

I have watched this so many times in the past week - this little animatic you've made is inspiring to run my own CoS game after my ttrpg group has finished their currently game. I wish I could like this video more than once!!

I'm currently running CoS with my friends and I would just like to say how nice it was of you to make this for them. This I a beautiful peice of art and you should be proud of what you made. Well done!

Every couple of months I go back to this video and get that overwhelming urge to run curse of strahd even though I haven't prepped enough for it due to me wanting it to be my best campaign. This is probably my favorite piece of D&D content out there.

The most tragic moment of Curse of Strahd is that Strahd just wasnt that strong.

We picked him up in Bigsby's Hand, hit him a couple times then the fight was over.

The campaign I'm in killed Strahd 2 nights ago after we attacked him at the wedding and he hid in the castle. We managed to find him in the basement with 5-6 NPC'S at our side (we were only 3 players) and got into a final fight while Ireena hid behind a pillar, ready to jump into battle if it became necessary. We had the sun sword (or whatever it's called) and managed to corner and kill Strahd, giving Ireena the honor of calling this their divorce and swinging Strahd's dust away. Now we just have the Tatyana and Ireena dilemma to handle and then it'll be over.

Truly a great campaign and my first proper-proper one, had a lot of fun!

Now for this video; HOLY FUCKING SHIT I'M LOSING MY MIND HOOLY FUCK HOLY FUCK HOLY FU- That's BEAUTIFUL!! It's really interesting how different the story could've turned out depending on our choices! Maybe I'll ask if we can replay the campaign again to see which different routes we could've taken

My condolences for traumatic player deaths

Seems like you had a hell of a cool ride through barovia :D

Given the sheer amount of comments, you probably will miss this one.
But I wanted to thank you, as because of this video, I've started to learn drawing and eventho, I'm still far from your skill level, I'm having a blast. I probably wouldn't have done it without this wonderful animatic.

So thank you very much for this piece of work !

did you just "hey you, you're finally awake" us with that intro?

One year later, and this master piece still rocks.

I'll never forget my run with Curse of Straud. My character, Rufus, almost died in most of every session, yet somehow survive and lived to the very end of the campaign, even survived the the final battle with Straud. The game was hard, but damn did Rufus counter that by being death-defying.

Did you guys stream this?!

This was so fantastic. I've been running CoS for almost two years (lots of missed weekends for our usually bi-weekly sessions, unfortunately.) and this so brilliantly fits the mood, the feel, the fucking everything that is CoS that I had to watch it a few times. It's just that amazing. Great work!

YOOO THIS LOOKS SO COOL

Just curious what cards did you guys pull and this apply to everyone in the comments

Currently playing through CoS. Strahd is convinced my character is the real woman he's after, and I'm playing nice with him because it's keeping him from outright killing the party (he really, REALLY hates our paladin). Currently his "guest" in Ravenloft hoping to get rescued before Strahd gets bored or realizes he chose the wrong person.

I consider Curse of Strahd to be the most infamous module.

This went a lot better than my game, it ended with an orgy right after they got into vallaki… with a monkey, I never touched the book afterward
