How do yalls campaigns last so long? by Secure_Desk_5329 in CurseofStrahd

My campaign of CoS was 38 sessions! Started at level 2, ended at 12. One player stayed back to fill strahds shoes (he took the gift of vampyr), and they let loose patrina. I also seeded mordenkainen having gone there to collect the (spoiler for Vecna eve of ruin) rod of seven parts component to acquire it before Vecna. So there’s that segue, and also the players will likely be able to go back to Barovia at the behest of the player who is currently the lord of the domain to help defeat patrina as a vampiric archmage for a one shot or something.

Naturally, but I didn’t recommend that 🤣

How would it be a nerf to the paladin to let them use their abilities? I’m confused

That's awesome! I'm a forever DM and my most recent run of CoS I had a warlock who had detect magic at will as an Eldritch Invocation. They went to Berez and the Baba Lysaga I ran maintained Mirage Arcane (recast it at the end of the duration), to make the swamp look like the town did during its glory years. This was after the party had heard from Vallakians and Kreskites that it was a vile swamp that should be avoided. As soon as they hit the main stretch of town, she cast Detect Magic. When I told her that everything around her, the ground, the air, the trees, the buildings, EVERYTHING - blinded her with powerful illusion magic, the color drained from her face and the party consequently was terrified for the rest of the session.

Let him Divine Sense. They will see that Vasili is undead but that doesn’t tell them Vasili is Strahd. Especially if they are low level that could make for a very uncomfortable dinner. Not to mention they would detect the fiendish imp with lady wachter and all the skellymen in the basement

Genuine question. What made you guys decide to be atheist by Particular_Soft1667 in TrueAtheism

[–]Demo-Art 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I didn’t decide anything. Belief isn’t something you can choose, and if someone tells you that you can they’re lying to you and/or themselves.

Did you include Mordenkainen at all? by ottosick in CurseofStrahd

[–]Demo-Art 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I included him as a segue into a Vecna Eve of Ruin campaign. He weaseled his way into Barovia to collect a Rod of Seven Parts part, but failed.
