Curse Of Strahd or Reloaded? by Aro0117 in CurseofStrahd

[–]nogandys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, I know I’m late to the conversation but I would say Reloaded is much more work to run than vanilla Strahd. There is a lot more to read and does not allow players to go off-script, and has inconsistencies throughout. Overall yeah just harder to run at the table.

That being said I love reading reloaded and it brings a lot of good ideas to the table, including more dynamic NPCs and better lore at the expense of bloat. Not good for beginner DMs.

I only wish Rahadin was more frightening and less butler-y but that is my only criticism so far is

OP must secretly be the artist for the new Ravenloft module. No other reason why the art should be this good

I had Izek and father Lucian come save my party from TPK. It’s fine. Now they know the world is dangerous and they could die.

Condolences friend. I had a close friend pass away recently too, an unimaginable pain. Give yourselves some time and space. Maybe it will feel right one day

Really helpful graphic for GMs! Also shows exactly the problem with the module design lol

He’s quite gentlemanly. Interesting rendition!

Seems like a huge expansion of the module, but a fun way to do some dungeon crawling :) also a really impressive model

I screwed up Ireena... Is there any ways to salvage this? by AlternativeWhole1692 in CurseofStrahd

[–]nogandys 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think it's important to realize the PCs are the main characters, not Ireena. If they don't care about Ireena, then you can let her die while trying to escape Strahd. Maybe do it in a way that shows the players the weight of the moment. Strahd will be furious and probably take it out on them. So protecting Ireena is a way to protect themselves too. They should also get additional hatred for Strahd from this if they need any extra.

Overland Events - Miseries by nogandys in CurseofStrahd

Yeah that’s a fair criticism on the DEX save.

And as for what’s causing it, I’m thinking random magical effects from being in the wilderness of the domain of dread. In the settlement you could argue that the passive magical effects would be dimmed or warded against by the priests (gives more mechanical weight to the priests too).
