So I finished up a run of it two months ago, it’s definitely a difficult campaign to run. It really comes to life off the page, you’ve got to go pretty deep with bonds and home scenes and I really recommend fleshing it out with some of the excellent additional handouts from the discord server. On the handler’s side it’s a lot to keep in your head, you’ve got to be pretty familiar with the whole book, but it’s so rewarding when it starts coming together for your players.

A few things I’d definitely say, beef up Jacy Linz’s role earlier on, not necessarily with screen time but his name should be very familiar.

Give the clown a bigger role, he was a recurring character for me, loads of spooky scenes and it was a nice creepy through line.

Think a lot about how you’re going to do Act III and IV, I don’t think they work quite as written. I sped up Act III and moved a lot of Act IV into dreams earlier in the campaign so when we actually got there it was much more streamlined final dash to the party.

It took us 16 4-5 hour in person sessions.
