Just had an idea for another DMsGuild resource (my 4th in total). Might make this one just $0.99 or even PWYW. A Ravenloft-themed magic item / artifact. Watch this space... Here's a clue via emoji: 🔮🟧👀

Two years ago... 🌫️ Resources for Curse of Strahd! Guides, novels, maps, art, music and more (also, my 2nd ever video)! #CurseofStrahd www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBjm...

I also put out a 2nd members-only video. More info on the Patreon-style membership can be found here...

Next videos... Curse of Strahd: 5 alternative stat blocks for Strahd 🧛🏻⚔️ Ravenloft: An overview of Ravenloft: Mist Hunters, the Adventurers League modules 🌫🔍 #CurseofStrahd #Ravenloft

Shadowlands prep is going well but it’s taking SO much time & I still have SO many more maps, NPCs, etc. to get ready. I’ve done a big city & some other locations, but still need to do: a hamlet map, a hobgoblin camp, a giant’s lair and like 3 more random encounter maps… 😩😴 It’ll be worth it though.

Feeling this at the moment with the Shadowlands... 😬😅

One year ago... 🌫️ How I Ran: Forlorn (Part 2) - all about Castle Tristenoira! IMO one of the best castles/dungeons in D&D history, where the castle shifts between three different time periods as you traverse it...! 🏰 #Ravenloft www.youtube.com/watch?v=buUt...

Just recorded a new video and didn't realise until afterwards that I have some strands of hair sticking out of one side of my head the whole time. Neat. 😫

My YouTube channel - DM of the Mists - turns two-years-old today! (It doesn't feel that long!) Big thanks to everyone who's watched a video, Liked, commented, subscribed, etc. etc.

New DM of the Mists video! 🌫 And now for something completely different... 😅 Can Lord Soth really defeat two dozen ogres on his own?! I tried to find out - with dice rolls! 💀🆚👹 #Ravenloft www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wfl...

Later this year I'm running a half-marathon in my home city of Cardiff to raise money for a mental health non-profit. There's a link with more info (& donation page) in the post below the one I've quoted. 👇

The Second Tarokka Reading is now a Copper Best Seller on @dmsguild.com! 🥳 It helps DMs to run a Ravenloft domain-hopping campaign, with the PCs meeting a Vistana seer who gives them a card reading, leading them to MacGuffins spread throughout the Domains of Dread! www.dmsguild.com/en/product/4...

New DM of the Mists video! 🌫 Running Curse of Strahd with the 2024 / 5.5E / OneD&D rules?

One year ago... 🌫️ More example draws using The Second Tarokka Reading - a supplement I made that helps DMs to get started with running a Ravenloft campaign... #Ravenloft www.youtube.com/watch?v=uU1s...

Played the first session of a friend's monthly homebrew game last night. Playing a (very squishy) Level 1 Wizard PC. I took the Longstrider spell but later thought "I bet I'll never use this" - and then our first quest was to rescue someone from a burning building. 🔥🏃 Came in pretty handy... 😅

The process I go through every time I prepare a Domain of Dread: • “Research! I’m excited!” • “…There’s a lot to make notes on.” • “What maps, monsters, etc. to include?” • “Oh man I’m overwhelmed.” • “This is horrible. It’s gonna be horrible.” • “Oh I think I’ve got it! I’m excited!” Every. Time.

New DM of the Mists video! 🌫 Part 2 of how I ran the 5E version of Hazlan, the Domain of Dread doomed by magic. This video concerns the final dungeon: Hazlik's tower, Veneficus!

If my math is mathing right, I think I'm just ONE sale away from The Second Tarokka Reading gaining the Copper best seller badge. If anyone wants to grab it now & get it to Copper, I'd love you forever & name a random NPC in my game after you (probably). 😄 #Ravenloft www.dmsguild.com/en/product/4...

Next video will be "How I Ran: Hazlan (Part 2)" - talking all about Hazlik's tower, Veneficus! 💥 Here's the link to the Part 1 video in the meantime... #Ravenloft #Hazlan www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3FS...

New DM of the Mists video! 🌫 There's a thing people say about Strahd, which quite frankly isn't true... okay, actually it is a BIT true. But it's missing context. In this video I talk about the thing a lot of people get wrong about Strahd... 🧛🏻 #CurseofStrahd #Strahd www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh5B...

One year ago... 7 alternatives to Death House as an intro adventure for Curse of Strahd - some of which I've played in & some of which I've DMed... #CurseofStrahd www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVoB...

Big love to one of my subscribers for letting me know about this. It's so annoying - especially as I tested them a while back and they worked then... 😤 I dread to think that people have messaged me and thought I've simply ignored them... 😨

NEW VERSION OF STRAHD! 🧛🏻

New DM of the Mists video! 🌫 A quick video this time, talking about what future Ravenloft novels & story ideas I'd love to see & read if they continue to publish more following 2025's Heir of Strahd... 📚 #Ravenloft #Strahd #CurseofStrahd www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MAa...

Do itttt… 🧛🏻‍♂️

Happy New Year! My plans for 2026: • Start a Ravenloft actual play, • Run more one-shots (alongside my weekly home game), • Host more ‘intro to D&D’ taster sessions for new D&D players, • Look into getting into paid DMing, • Keep doing the CoS/Ravenloft videos! 🌫️

Moonberry Maple’s art of Jander Sunstar is so good OMG 💛 www.reddit.com/u/Moonberry_...

One year ago... The 2nd version of my "Music for Curse of Strahd" video (featuring my CoS choices from the excellent @tabletopaudio.com) - this time just playing the music, so no talking from me. 🎶 (P.S. No one's ever found the video's Easter egg!) 😸 #CurseofStrahd www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7FP...

Last night my players defeated Hazlik (Darklord of Hazlan) in a three-phase battle. They'll probably have another session or two wrapping up & leaving Hazlan, and then I can do my Hazlan Part 2 video. It's mostly fully prepped notes-wise, so hopefully I can get it out quickly... 🪄🌫️💥 #Ravenloft

No new video from me tomorrow as me & my whole family continues to recover from a week-long flu type thing that crossed over into Xmas Day... 😫 Using the Xmas downtime to prep future videos & to prep the Shadowlands in my home game. 🛡️🌫️⚔️

One year ago... 15 monster suggestions from @koboldpress.com's Tome of Beasts I that'd work well in a Ravenloft campaign! (A bunch of them could probably work well in Curse of Strahd, too!) #Ravenloft www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZlr...

Took today off because family are visiting - and genuinely forgot today was a Monday (and forgot that a video was scheduled for and going out today)! 😅 Sorry folks.

New DM of the Mists video! 🌫 Reacting to the Curse of Strahd infographic posted on the CoS subreddit a few years back. How did CoS play out as a whole for DMs? 📊👀 #CurseofStrahd www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp2-...

Last night, my player-who-also-DMs-for-me wrapped up her homebrew campaign, which has been going monthly since early 2022 (IIRC). Hence ends the story of Ammi, my Gem (Amethyst) Dragonborn Wild Magic Sorcerer. Godspeed, Ammitak - you were a lot of fun to play. 💜

New DM of the Mists video! 🌫 My "How I Ran: The Carnival" video is my most popular Ravenloft Domain of Dread video - so I thought I'd do a follow-up video of some of the monsters (typically evil fey creatures) that may show up and be fought there... #Ravenloft www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_mq...

Playing D&D 4 times in the space of a week and feeling very happy about it... 🎲⚔️ - Sunday (yesterday): Ravenloft - Tuesday: Epilogue / final session of my player's homebrew campaign, where she's the DM and I'm a player - Thursday: Doing a beginner one-shot for new players - Sunday: Ravenloft again
