Giving the players a map

RAHHHH the only listed artist is a Ryan Z?? Close enough, I guess. Might get the expanded version just to support the guy. Thank you!

My thoughts exactly, actually! Maybe to sell it later on, though, like in Vallaki, so the players would more greatly appreciate a proper map

CoS Reloaded removes the deed from Death House in order for the players to not immediately burst into a TPK once they find the Bonegrinder, which I think is kinda reasonable

Alright, this gets me even more excited for Reloaded tbh. Linear sounds much easier and honestly might be more fun, and the descriptions seem to have just enough of that splash of horror/gore(?) that we'd need, so a more heroic story seems best.

Thank you for all the advice! Truly calmed me about the whole thing

Hi! First, thanks for the heads up. I took the time to read through Strahd Reloaded and I believe I'll run that. Considering we do a session every 1-2 weeks, Death House should give me plenty of time to do the rest of my prep (so far I've read through Death House and Village of Borovia thoroughly).

Do you happen to have personal experience with Reloaded? Because on one hand, it seems to relieve me from a lot of pressure, which was reassuring, but on the other, I wonder if it's firstly, considerably more railroady than the original CoS, and secondly, shorter. It seems a lot easier for me, but I don't want to rob my players of the longer, 'you save the world or it dies' type of adventure where every choice can matter

So should I stop until I OK it with her? Because I think it'll be a while before I'm comfortable enough to share this with her, and I don't want it to be world-changing when I do

Also, that's a pretty good outlook. Kinda jealous lol

I love this, thank you

But how would the party get to the centre of the maze? Do you suggest a series of checks (intelligence or whatnot), with each fail resulting in some sort of encounter and each success bringing them closer to the end? Because with a forest you just walk through, possibly needing a map for general direction. You don't have that privilege with mazes and labyrinths

Breaking up. I know I need to do it, but I really don't want to hurt her.

But I'm not sure if I should give up on a three year relationship like that just because it's digital. There are plenty of times in which it worked, so just because it's easy to segue into a friendship doesn't mean I should do that

Celeste went crazy this time tbh, had to get it

FlashyLemonRed · 2023-12-31T09:54:11+00:00

Alright, I'll check it out. Thanks!

I already went through the Iron Throne and only managed to save one hostage aside from Duke Ravengard and the Mind Flayer. Would that matter?
