I am not going to detail everything that was altered but rather will go over the major details changed. They also detail the entire campaign and have become a godsend in preparing the campaign. After some research I came across two guides from r/CurseofStrahd that gave some views to make it more fun, whilst still keeping some of the deadliness that you might associate with the Death House. Which can be fun, but I didn’t want to put the players off. After looking over the house as written, I found it to be very punishing and you expect the players to just straight up die.

After explaining it would be a horror themed game called the Death House the party seemed happy and rolled up characters. I had always wanted to run Curse of Strahd and read that many people really enjoyed The Death House from the campaign.
#Curse of strahd death house series
When one of my friends asked me to run a game of D&D we originally thought of running a series of One Shots. ** Disclaimer: My Players, read at your own risk. I will go through the changes I made, along with what I thought worked well or poorly and what I would change if I run it again. Luckily, with Ismark as their ally, I can use his pending nuptials and need for an heir to delay his availability until the stars are aligned.This is the start of a series where I discuss our current campaign The Curse of Strahd.

I've used both Eva and Ismark to hint that a frontal assault on Strahd at this point would be suicide, but with those draws, there's not much incentive to traipse around the countryside. Of course, that's all subject to change if they don't take the offered bait.īoth the Sunsword and the Holy Symbol are in the castle, 2 rooms apart(!), and they could have the Tome of Strahd as soon as tomorrow evening's session if they play their cards right (it's in Van Richten's wagon in Vallaki). And the Fortunes of Ravenloft determined Ismark will be the party's ally against Strahd, which was perfect since I planned on using the Ismark's marriage hook from The Beast of Graenseskov (DM's Guild adventure) to get them involved in that before they get embroiled in the many sub-plots around Vallaki, the Winery, and the Bone Grinder. Madam Eva has hinted that the children have a role to play in Barovia's fate. Ismark is promising to help by looking in village records stored in the Burgomaster's mansion in exchange for the party's help getting Ireena to someplace "safe". Now that it's over, the party is looking around for any descendents of relatives of the kids.
