Added 2023-08-23 23:28:44 +0000 UTCI'm excited to announce that the public release of the revised Curse of Strahd: Reloaded's Act II: The Shadowed Town—a comprehensive guide to the multiple narrative arcs that will unfold as your players explore Vallaki—is now live!
Specifically, this new update contains:
- Arc D: The Tome of Strahd: A guide to running the players’ efforts to retrieve the Tome of Strahd from Vallakovich manor or Wachterhaus, including all new-scenes with Lady Fiona Wachter.
- Arc E: St. Andral’s Feast: A guide to running the players’ efforts to retrieve the bones of Saint Andral, including a fleshed-out mystery investigation and a fresh statblock for Volenta Popofsky.
- Arc F: The Missing Vistana: A guide to running the players’ efforts to rescue the kidnapped Vistana Arabelle, tying together Van Richten’s Tower, Dr. Rudolph van Richten, and a mysterious new prophecy to create a cohesive fresh adventure.
- Arc G: Lady Wachter’s Wish: A guide to running the players’ efforts to assassinate Izek Strazni, including a comprehensive outline for the dinner at Wachterhaus, an all-new stealth-based mission, and a fire-powered two-phase statblock for Izek himself.
- Arc H: The Strazni Siblings: A guide to running Izek’s pursuit of Ireena Kolyana and his rampage across Vallaki in search of her.
- Arc I: The Lost Soul: A fresh adventure combining several disparate parts—Stella Wachter’s illness, the hags of Old Bonegrinder, the cult of Wachterhaus, and the bones of Leo Dilisnya—into a resonant and unforgettable adventure.
- Arc J: The Walls of Krezk: A new optional adventure that allows the players to gain early access to Krezk by visiting the lair of the swamp witch, Baba Lysaga.

Normal zombies! If it doesn't say Strahd Zombies, then they're not Strahd Zombies. ;) (Bolded text refers to monsters in the Monster Manual unless it comes with a citation to another sourcebook.)

2023-10-23 01:21:37 +0000 UTCIn "C1B. Van Richten's Cache", are the five zombies intended to be Strahd zombies, as described in the original campaign book, or normal Monster Manual zombies? I'm guessing the former but it's not crystal clear from the text and it makes a huge difference to the difficulty of the encounter.

2023-10-21 15:19:22 +0000 UTCI think we need a mention of the damage Barovia has suffered as the players first enter it. Ismark apologises to the PCs for the state of the village but unless there's been a detour via the church or the mansion, the PCs haven't seen any damage yet.

2023-10-08 15:22:10 +0000 UTCIs this a sensible place to ask questions and offer comments on the latest draft?
