Curse of Strahd: Twice Bitten

On this week's Adventuring Interviews, host Aerthrandir Aereal - who is definitely in his own right mind and not under any mind-affecting compulsions at all - chats with the Lord of Barovia himself. [Originally debuted during After Dark episode #6, on 26 February 2022.] Thank you so much for listening to Curse of Strahd: Twice Bitten! This is the last regular update for the series, although there may be special one-off bonus episodes in the future.

As the sun rises over a joyous Barovia, the companions bid their final farewells. Join us for a live AMA on Saturday, February 26 at 1 PM EST / 10 AM PST and we'll answer any questions you might have about the campaign!

On this week's Adventuring Interviews, host Aerthrandir Aereal chats with partymate Amity (Orianna) Alevin about her name, her aspirations, and the love of her life. Or... tries to, at least.

Twice Bitten took October 2nd and October 9th off from Twitch broadcasting to address the demands of real life, and accordingly there will be no podcast update today, October 7th, or next week on October 14th. We'll see you back here soon to put the Amber Temple behind us and prepare for our journey to Castle Ravenloft!

The companions delve into the depths of the Amber Temple, where great wealth and dark gifts lurk in the shadows.
