Critical Fayle DM & The Goons: The Strahdcast
A Curse of Strahd actual-play D&D podcast! We're the Goons, an adventuring party of actors, teachers, woodworkers, brewers and web developers banding together to defeat D&D's most horrifying villain–Strahd von Zarovich. Join us around the table as we endeavor to bring hope and light back to the people of the far, foggy realm of Barovia!
