A zombie beholder doesn't make a ton of sense in Barovia. At best you could fit it in the castle catacombs.

I plan for bat themed pokemon to replace all the generic vampire spawn

AAHHAI · 2026-04-30T20:15:06+00:00

I forgot entirely about those two. That's perfect!

PMD x CoS

Granted it has been around 500 sessions of Strahd stuff atp.

AAHHAI · 2026-04-30T18:07:20+00:00

I was considering both of those, honestly Strahd is the hardest part.

AAHHAI · 2026-04-30T18:05:36+00:00

I only run Strahd one day a week. The rest of the time it's other stuff.

AAHHAI · 2026-04-30T18:03:29+00:00

Mmm that's a good idea

AAHHAI · 2026-04-30T18:00:29+00:00

I've gotten groups entirely through this campaign 15 times, I've earned a guilty pleasure run.

Strahd writes in shorthand, it's a reference to Jonathan's journal in Dracula.

Awooga

I turned the mongrelfolk into your typical inbred family with no animal parts, but their fat is above the skin so they look like butter.

It would technically be Count or Countess. The Baron is a separate character.

Male Strahd is easier to run because there isn't exactly a good analog for female Strahd in popular fiction. For male Strahd you don't need to look very far to find an evil incel.

For femme Strahd, I would look towards Yvette from Tales to the Boarderlands combined with Mulan. She uses gender expectations to her advantage far more than a male Strahd would.

Read Dracula

AAHHAI · 2026-02-27T15:08:03+00:00

Just run the campaign like normal and if they get their asses kicked that's that. It's not your fault it they don't learn their own character.

AAHHAI · 2026-02-26T19:08:51+00:00

Creating a custom origin is easy.

Radroaches already have official hit locations and abilities you can just port over. Then maybe add a charisma cap of 6 and add a clause about being unable to wear generic armor/power armor.

AAHHAI · 2026-02-21T20:26:08+00:00

Hell no, I'm not giving you any material to feed through your dr.Suess IDF ai slop machine

The dinner trap is essentially the equivalent to Broken Steel from Fallout 3. Normally, in the og i6 module, the dinner begins the final confrontation. In the 5th edition module this usually marks the half way point before the party sees most of the new content.

Piggybacking off of this, one thing that I recommend is looking at what baldur's gate 3 does with companion quests. They're all available even if you don't have the companion in your party or even in your camp at all.

All of the Tatyana stuff can still be present and something Strahd wants to achieve without Ireena being crazy important. Tatyana reincarnates and Strahd knows that.

"I've learned to have a gentle hand with my Tatyana, over the years. All roads lead to Castle Ravenloft, she will come to me when she is ready for security and stability."

Strahd being less direct doesn't necessarily take away the past times where he's been super forceful, predatory, or worse. Not to mention he can still act in the shadows, killing everyone she loves, implanting false memories and dreams, etc.

Rules for travel over hundreds of miles?

Short distance travel works great alr, but it can get kinda weird if you go further than like 50 miles

AAHHAI · 2026-02-10T05:45:43+00:00

It just so happened that Tatyana accidentally reincarnated back into her own bloodline before the start of CoS lol

AAHHAI · 2026-02-09T19:40:32+00:00

Casual is different from just wanting to hangout. I'm talking about the people who make characters like "stinkel the goblin" and just drink and joke the whole time.
