This is not a review of Curse of Strahd the D&D campaign, but Curse of Strahd the Roll20 Marketplace Module. The new campaign recreates the Valley of Barovia as a sandbox adventure, culminating in a Castlevania-like dungeon crawl inside Castle Ravenloft. Since then Roll20 has released paid content for the Monster Manual, and additional published modules in Tales of the Yawning Portal, and, most recently, Curse of Strahd.Ĭurse of Strahd released last year as an updated remake to the classic gothic horror RPG world of Ravenloft, ruled by the vampire lord Strahd von Zarovich. Roll20 is amazing at giving you the canvas and tools, but you still have to put in the work.Ībout a year ago Roll20 began releasing the official D&D 5E campaigns as paid modules, beginning with The Lost Mine of Phandelver, followed shortly by Storm King’s Thunder. I created tokens and placed them throughout each map, and built every monster and character sheet from scratch. When I ran both Lost Mine of Phandelver and Princes of the Apocalypse, I purchased the battle maps from the artists, then converted them into Roll20. Roll20 is free to use (with optional paid subscription for added goodies) with the caveat that it can be a lot of work to put together virtual maps and tactical battlefields. Roll20’s built-in Fifth Edition character sheets help make rolling and stat-tracking a breeze. We’ve been enjoying Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition for most of that time, finding it a wonderful system of intuitive mechanics and flexible role-playing. Roll20 has been my group’s go-to resource and website for online role-playing for the last two years.
