Curse of Strahd: Death House is one adventure from Wizards of the Coast's 2016 publication, Curse of Strahd, which is a retelling of TSR's original 1983 Ravenloft adventure.
This preview introduces characters to the land of Barovia. The Curse of Strahd book includes the original adventure, as well as expanded material developed in consultation with Tracy and Laura Hickman. It expands what we know about the lands around Castle Ravenloft and sheds new light on the dark past of the castle's lord. The lands of Barovia are from a forgotten world in the D&D multiverse, and this adventure gives glimpses into that world. In time, cursed Barovia was torn from its home world by the Dark Powers and bound in mist as one of the Domains of Dread in the Shadowfell.
You can run Curse of Strahd: Death House for 1st-level characters with the help of this optional mini-adventure, which is designed to advance characters to 3rd level.
