Fireside Chat - Ep. 45 with Todd Kleinpaste

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 Caoimhe Sylralei about violence, her aspirations and achievements, and what she likes in a romantic partner. Or... tries to, at least.

Empowered with profane knowledge, our heroes ascend the spiraling towers of Castle Ravenloft toward the keep's very heart, uncovering strange enchantments, unlikely visitors, and valuable treasures.
