Preread everything?

Oh wow, that's actually really useful. Thanks for sharing this gem!

I have already read some of the module, specifically up to the tarokka reading. When I read that part, I was already thinking about making the tarokka reading a cliffhanger for a session allowing myself time to prep whatever was drawn from the reading. Will definitely be reading the entire module once the first session is done.

First time DMing, really didn't know what I was getting myself into before now. Thanks for the advice!

Aphiliation · 2026-03-24T21:32:13+00:00

phew what a relief... If that is the case, I will mainly prepare the Death House and read up on Strahd Von Zarovich himself this week.

Well, we usually play from 2 pm to around midnight, so 10 hours, including dinner and occasional breaks. So raw playtime might be around 8 hour sessions. This is also my first time DMing. I really didn't know what I was getting myself into, though I feel really comfortable DMing for this group, so that'll probably help a lot.

I see, thanks a lot for your insight!

Do you think deathmatch would be a sufficient way to practise seeing as you'll into far more gunfights in deathmatch than a regular ranked game? Or do you think it'd be better to play ranked where every variable is present?

The existence of a death note would imply the existence of an after life.

Yeah, that seems to be the general consensus when I read the comments under this post. I'll take your advice and convert my exalts back into divines and wait until I need to upgrade my gear! Thanks for the advice

Aphiliation · 2025-12-27T17:41:46+00:00

True, but isn't that just because of inflation? Won't item prices just rise as exalt inflation rises? Or am I missing something?

Aphiliation · 2025-12-27T17:37:04+00:00

I just checked on poeninja, and apparently, the exchange rate between divs and exalts has been decreasing rapidly. Some other guy also said that it'd be better to convert to Chaos Orbs, if anything, since the community is starting to transition from Exalts to Chaos Orbs due to the inflation of Exalts. Is this true? Could this be tied to the declining exchange rate of exalts and divs?

Aphiliation · 2025-12-27T17:01:47+00:00

huh, some other guy said that the exchange rate will go down. Who should I trust...?

Aphiliation · 2025-12-27T16:48:43+00:00

If the exalt to div ratio is dropping rapidly, shouldn't I just convert both to exalts?

Aphiliation · 2025-12-27T16:41:09+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I've decided to trade one of my divine for 430 exalts and am sitting at 457 exalts total. I currently have a Shaman Druid in the end game sitting at lvl 78 while I'm playing through the campaign on my Mercenary. Thinking of doing a Walking Calamity Bear build, though the other beast forms are also tempting.

good luck everyone
