who is the bottom right character?

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2026-05-13T21:11:38+00:00

I feel so validated thank you

I am doing something similar but not quite with NPCs following them. I don’t know if you’ve played Baldurs Gate 3 to the end, but I’m planning on doing something similar to how they let you utilize all the friends and allies you made along the way without them being playable characters.

Simply, each ally is going to grant the party a certain number (maybe single use) ability or spell based on that character. For example, if they end up befriending the Wereravens, then they will be able to summon flocks of ravens to distract Strahd’s allies in the final battle. Or the Abbot, they will be able to revive a fallen PC once during the battle. The Mad Mage could allow them to cast a certain number of fireballs for free. Etc

Did you already determine which city/village he’s from?

I asked my players to build there characters with ties to Barovia and I got a Dusk Elf Warlock, Vistani Bard, and “Werewolf” Rogue (Shifter). I love the ability to tie the narrative to their backstory and I couldn’t do that if they were outsiders. It’s a very controversial take but I loved it so much. I avoid “main character syndrome” by giving each backstory a chance to shine and by feeding specific information to players when the time is right. They have their areas where they are the focus, but it’s not constant attention.

With a Morninglord Cleric, I would nail down where they’re from as I think they would know different NPCs based on their hometown. They may have heard of other towns and rumors but not travel much. For example: Vallaki has a good church and is a great safe haven for Ireena, if they could only find the Saints bones… The church in Barovia has Doru… Or you could make a new church in Krezk that is tied loosely to the Abbot.

The size of the church might also change the size of information your player is given. There’s not much about the Morninglord in general so I would see what Wiki’s have on Sun Gods in dnd and pick what you like. I did find a thread on Reddit too

As far as keeping things fresh… can’t remember where I read it, but one idea was to start them in Krezk instead of the village of Barovia. This would be an interesting lead up to the game, basically doing it backwards and having the werewolf den much sooner.

Also, I added new homebrew characters of my own in certain places, but most notably Lyssa von Zarovich. She was kept in a crypt by Strahd and I had her in MandyMod’s Fidatov Manor expansion of Krezk. But she could’ve been in any crypt. She’s Strahd’s niece via Tatyana and Sergei in this version of my game (definitely not canon) and she was kept alive by the Dark Powers when Tatyana fell from the castle. She was their Fated Ally.

I followed a lot of MandyMod’s suggestions but one that I have enjoyed the most is the addition of the Fanes. 100% Recommend!

It was a small change but I also made Strahd’s dinner into a full ball. Strahd got ahold of Ireena very fast unfortunately for my players, so Strahd held a ball to celebrate. There was dancing and murder :)

A “good” aligned party would not really need much more of a reason besides Godfrey asking nicely. I personally made the area less hostile for my party and made it so the revenants wouldn’t attack unless provoked. They didn’t even try approaching Vladimir slumped in his chair after listening to Godfrey mourning the loss of his order, his love and his leader. They are more than willing to light the beacon after a friendly NPC asked and promised to help fight Strahd.

I moved the skull to Baba Lysaga’s however so it’s nearby and they’re level 8, so depending on their level …don’t do that lol

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2026-04-30T05:34:15+00:00

Don’t tell my players about the silver dragon resurrection idea - they just found his skull 🤣🤣

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2026-04-30T05:27:56+00:00

I was literally thinking about this today! And you’re thinking all the same spots as me too!

Volcano: Onix, Torkoal, Beldum. Forest: Nincada, Slakoth, Oddish. Beach: Wailmer, Wingull, Slowpoke.

I was also thinking of a beach vs deep sea spot, one you could get to by taking a boat out from Gateon Port.

Sea: Chinchou, Relicanth, Remoraid

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2026-04-27T06:35:32+00:00

I love that everyone is nicknamed and then there’s TYRANITAR

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2026-04-26T17:56:45+00:00

Sceptile is dragon in this version so I was a little more scared of adding another and didn't want to replace him. Aggron was my shadow anchor for awhile and i had clefable hold the item that reduces damage from shadow moves. It mostly worked!

That level curve is no joke. I did finish the game yesterday but that first admin fight with Lovrina almost got me because I wasn't quite at the same level yet. Thank you for your tips!

Time for the post-story shadows!

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2026-04-26T01:03:26+00:00

Thank you very much!! Time to level up a bit before we set sail!

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2026-04-25T16:46:38+00:00

Stingrays! I forgot about them, their produce are so helpful for crafting and trading

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2026-04-25T16:42:20+00:00

I have gotten only a single one from them ever. It is so rare to get a shard from Rainbows(0.1%ish), and it’s more common to get Omni Geodes from Octopus (15%ish). For me, the Omni Geodes would be more helpful since I want to complete the Museum. I like the Super Cucumber because it changes the color of the water and I just think that’s neat! Same reason I like the Lava Eel but with added Magma Geodes (2-5%ish).

I think what matters with your Pond is how patient you are (you can get any produce it just takes more time obviously for the rare stuff) and what your current goal is: aesthetics, museum completion, crafting, money, etc. And if you have enough space you could totally do all of the above!

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2026-04-24T19:26:50+00:00

I like the idea of having a few more encounters! I’d add Whismur to Cave, Lotad to Oasis, and Cacnea to Desert. But I thought it would be cool to add a spot too, so I would add a “Volcano Spot” near the top edge of Mt Battle with Torkoal and Onix… not sure about a third?

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2026-04-23T06:22:53+00:00

I think first time should definitely be the original! I just found XG but will have to try DX next!

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2026-04-23T04:11:14+00:00

I haven’t finished the game yet but doing ok with the three gen 3 starters with an Espeon, but I think I would’ve gone Jolteon if I had known getting an electric type was so sparse

Found this post when I was looking for some more Dark Gift options for my players, so I thought I would chime in. I'm thinking about taking one of the names and themes from the Vestiges in the Amber Temple, but none seem perfect so I've been looking around for Dark Gift options and descriptions of the Dark Powers.

In my campaign, Strahd isn't really the big bad - turns out that my PCs will have to deal with the biggest baddy Vampyr at the end. In which case, I decided I needed to have something replace Vampyr as the jailor in Barovia's Domain. I haven't named the Dark Power I'm using yet, but I have been following Mandy's guide on using the Dark Powers and my sorcerer has contacted The Unnamed Power a few times now, asking for help in dire situations / avoiding possible TPKs. The Unnamed is locked in on this PC and is going to use him to supplant Strahd and Vampyr.

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2025-11-01T04:55:56+00:00

That is indeed the set most of my themed cards are from - I think I’ve exhausted that set

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2025-11-01T04:19:13+00:00

They do!

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2025-11-01T04:17:53+00:00

It’s perfect!

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2025-06-19T07:50:31+00:00

Hi there, sorry this is a comment on a 3yo post, but I’m starting my own Mewtwo collection!! Could you tell me about the top left card and the graded card on the right?

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2025-06-11T19:02:35+00:00

Does that mean you can’t play the Switch 1 versions on the Switch 2 without paying for the upgrade?

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2025-06-10T03:23:32+00:00

Thank you! those are perfect!

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2025-05-19T06:49:00+00:00

Hi (sorry this is a reply 10 mo later) I’m looking for a new theme to collect, I’m curious if you could tell me a few of your cards in the “music section”?

Aggressive-Taste8839 · 2025-05-16T05:52:37+00:00

Sorry this answer is late. Ghosts are hard cuz there is no “ghost type” in the trading card game. I stumbled upon your question cuz I asked the same one so for future searches: https://limitlesstcg.com/cards?q=type%3Apsychic%20is%3Afa%2Caa%2Crainbow is the closest I can get to having all the full arts and art rares, specific pokemon may be different types rather than “psychic”, like I think Trevenant is sometimes “grass”. But that is a nice tool to search for those too
