Curse of Strahd: Twice Bitten

This was absolutely amazing! From start to finish. I laughed, I cried and everything in between!

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.

DragnaCarta’s DMing of this is superb, and the cast is great fun. They do the source justice, to be sure. The best AP use of Strahd himself. If you want to see CoS as written played by DMs and/or heavy role players, this is it. The best version of “normal (non heroic) people in Barovia” ever.
