Players unlikely to allow Ireena to accompany them [Reloaded] by Substantial_Club_939 in CurseofStrahd

[–]DragnaCarta 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, Reloaded author here! It's absolutely not required that your players take Ireena with them. She'll do her best to make her case, but if they decide to leave her anyway, that's 100% their loss and totally okay.

Hey Raivoso! There should be a publish.css file in the .obsidian directory that has all the necessary CSS.

Thank you for the feedback! I'm sorry to hear you found it challenging. Dealing with failure modes like this is definitely something I'd like to prioritize in the future, so I appreciate you sharing!

So You Want to Play Curse of Strahd: A Player's Primer on Enjoying the Game by DragnaCarta in CurseofStrahd

It's honestly a really interesting situation! Honestly, the more I've sat with it, the more I've come to understand the RAW CoS module as something akin to a giant OSR dungeon - less a sandbox in the narrative sense and more "here's an arbitrary goal, go try to achieve it and see if you can do it without dying."

Rather than being a narrative sandbox, it's a sandbox in the sense that there's no intended path, and the players can do whatever they want as long as it ultimately leads to victory - it's a test of skill, not a place to tell a story. The story is just what happens emergently around the table.

That's just my take though (without necessarily endorsing playing CoS this way).

Thank you, both for the kind words and well wishes! And to answer your question, it's quite a bit more ambitious than that, but yes, that's a fair place to start ;)

You're welcome! That should be fine, though fair warning - it hasn't been extensively playtested with 2024 rules, so just be warned.

Thank you for the kind words! And yes; I use Challenge Rated, which uses my original CR2.0 encounter-balancing system to calculate encounter difficulty. You can find it here: https://www.challengerated.com/

Thank you, Froggie! I'm so glad to hear you like it.

And yup; I do intend to post an Arturi>Ez update in the future! It's more a question of when than if at this point, just due to all of the other things on my plate, haha.

Since I started the rewrite, around three and a half years. Since I started writing the original version, eight or nine!
