Curse of Strahd: Twice Bitten – Details, episodes & analysis

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.
