DM of the Mists - Invidious

DM of the Mists
he/him

Covering all things Curse of Strahd and Ravenloft. Focused on D&D 5E (5th edition), but also referring to the older lore, especially on the Ravenloft side of things.

Naturally, this channel contains SPOILERS for Curse of Strahd and Ravenloft content. So if you're a player in an active CoS/Ravenloft game then (as much as it pains me to say this) please don't watch! This is 'DMs only' type stuff.

Check out my resources on DMsGuild, which includes the 3-Pile Tarokka Technique, which helps with running the tarokka reading during Curse of Strahd, and the Second Tarokka Reading, a supplement for running a Ravenloft domain-hopping campaign as a sequel to Curse of Strahd.

I'm also an epic fantasy writer! My first novel - DEMONS I: The Birth of Magic - is out now! Very D&D-inspired (although perhaps more Forgotten Realms and Honor Among Thieves in style than Ravenloft). Find out more at stevemorganauthor.com!
