by Twice Bitten
Six DMs return to the mists to run a completely Rules-As-Written Curse of Strahd campaign. Our core question: what happens when, rather than luring in a party of heroes or adventurers, the mists of Barovia claim a group of cowardly, cynical, selfish, and/or traumatized individuals who fall—not leap—into adventure? Join Jack, Kaiya, Linus, Tsarina, Twi and their DM DragnaCarta (creator of the popular Curse of Strahd: Reloaded guides) to follow the story of a group of ordinary people thrust headfirst into danger.

The DM does a great job running a rules as written game. His understanding of the roles, descriptions, and ability to tell a story are superb. They are heavily into the role playing, which is great, but can make every little choice take forever. I love that they have fears, but it gets a little silly with every single one of them being overly fearful all the time. It’s a great listen but one of the characters is unintentionally patronizing and condescending. An Elf bard that talks in a folksy way while also taking down to people make it hard to listen to. Overall, it’s great! Just wish I could have AI remove the one character. I’m sure the player is a great person and maybe I just don’t get their character or maybe it is intentional. Idk.
This group is not at all reticent to have long, in-depth in-character moments. Lengthy conversations or monologues about their past and present, fiery arguments that flare up in tense moments, and soft, quiet moments where characters connect. 6/5 roleplaying, in such a way that the plot is character-driven more than anything. The GM also does a fantastic job at getting into character for his NPCs as well.
Twice Bitten CoS is a master class of not only how to run and play a tabletop roleplaying game but also podcast storytelling. The expertly produced podcast is so immersive and riveting, I sometimes forget that it’s just a group of people playing a game live. If you play TTRPG, you will find yourself listening and re-listening, savoring and learning from many moments. If you don’t, the podcast will still be vastly entertaining, taking you on a journey to a dark fantasy world, where you’ll find yourself laughing and crying, and experiencing a full spectrum of emotions with the characters.
A fantastic delve into a classic setting. Though one of the players’ characters is somewhat patronizing and hard to listen to given their habits of speech. They have a somewhat, “Smarter then thou,” or “holier then thou,” with a pretentious Elven attitude. Sometimes it makes it difficult to listen to, but I guess it’s what the character would do?” Aside from that a superb podcast.
