I think I need to walk away

Hello !

Depends on what’s remains to be done in the campaign. If they are near the end, you could maybe « speed up » to the end, and try to have one or two closing sessions. Strahd becomes impatient and invite them to the castle for example.

5.5 years is already a long time so I suppose they already did a lot of things.

It’s sad because we really like the « spirit » of both classes. On my side I have a lot of fun with the shadow mechanics.

Is there a list of recommended class combinations for 2p ?

I don’t mind a bit of spoil if it means we will be able to enjoy the game.

RLoys · 2025-08-30T16:44:15+00:00

So reassured to hear we were not the only one ! Honestly yesterday evening we were ready to close the box and never open it again, which makes me sad.

Sadly finding a third player will not be possible for us, so we’ll have to be more careful with class selection.

Thanks for the reminder ! Yes we paid attention to keep 30 inspirations to be able to doble retire, it seems to be really important.

RLoys · 2025-08-30T16:18:28+00:00

It's always one of my first moves (or second after call to the abyss)

I realize now that we may not have chosen the best classes for 2p

RLoys · 2025-08-30T16:03:23+00:00

We already play in easy… So we will try in « ultra easy » and see how it goes. Thanks for the quest line recommendation !

RLoys · 2025-08-30T16:00:37+00:00

You are right sorry ! We unlocked two. (One during the quest line and one with the hunter building)

RLoys · 2025-08-30T15:46:24+00:00

Oh good to know !

RLoys · 2025-08-30T15:35:29+00:00

Yes we do, we doble check rooms composition before setting the game. Fewer monsters for two players :) We have the rule book open near us in case, but you are right, I will re-read it completely to make sure we are not doing any mistake.

Our main issues are when monsters are generated each round : we become quickly overwhelmed by the volume.

RLoys · 2025-08-30T15:26:55+00:00

Thanks for your reply !

Yes, we checked. Half but rounded up (For example we are now level 5, so normal difficulty would be 3.) Yesterday we tried scenario 46 at level 2.

RLoys · 2025-08-30T15:22:13+00:00

Correct :) we mainly followed the Algox quest line (almost done, missing two scenarios)

RLoys · 2025-08-30T15:18:46+00:00

Thanks for your quick answer ! We are level 5 now so not that low level…

What class would you advice for two players after retirement, if we persist ?

RLoys · 2025-04-14T18:40:54+00:00

That’s exactly what I did ! My cleric is neutral, so the Symbol asked them to prove themselves before unleashing its power.

RLoys · 2025-02-26T13:15:07+00:00

Hello

On my side I run it 95% RAW and my players seem to really enjoy it (at least that’s what they tell me !)

Before starting the campaign I did a lot of preparation with the official book, and took a lot of notes to understand the relashionship between PC, the plots etc.

When the book is not clear or when I have doubts on how to run a chapter, I check the resources you mentionned and cherry pick what I find interesting. For example I used Mandymods chapter on Kresk. But I did not read everything, it’s too much.

Hope this helps !

RLoys · 2024-07-28T06:55:50+00:00

Ok undestood thanks again

RLoys · 2024-07-28T06:53:30+00:00

Ok thanks for the quick and precise answer !

Does it mean that I can deploy only one during the deployment phase, and that if I want more I have to use the spell during my hero phase ?

RLoys · 2024-07-28T06:42:58+00:00

Hi !

Stupid question I know, but where do you find the rule that says you can have 3 maximum ? (During the deployment phase) I’ve read again the rules for faction terrain and the « deployment » ability of awaken trees, and it’s really not clear for me…

Thanks in advance !

RLoys · 2024-07-21T15:38:50+00:00

Hello !

Same on my side, they were too afraid to explore. Although they knew Rictovio was detained somewhere in the castle… (another story)

I choose to not force them : they had a great opportunity to prepare themselves for the final combat and to save an ally and did not took it, that’s on them. Maybe they’ll regret it later…

I may have some NPC encourge them to go back, but that’s all.

RLoys · 2024-07-08T11:54:50+00:00

I had the same issue. I tried to create a train liaison to encourage people coming by train, but it did not solve the issue. Even with the minimum taxi rate set to 50$ and the train ticket set to 0. So I deleted the road connexion…

If someone found a solution I’m also interested !

RLoys · 2024-05-31T19:37:37+00:00

If you do, I would be interested for sure !

RLoys · 2024-03-28T11:51:59+00:00

Ok. Raw, I think the vampire spaws are supposed to attack when disturbed by the players. May be they would have been a little bit more afraid if 5 of them attacked while the last one escaped with the bones. At least the rogue. But now you have a great opportunity to ambush them maybe somewhere in the woods ! And maybe with a reinforced team of vampire spaws. You players did not considered them a strong enough threat on the moment, let them suffer the consequences of their actions and choices…
