Hey folks, just wanted to say that I had an idea a while ago to run a historical fiction Strahd campaign and, now that we've been going for 15 or so sessions, I have to say I think it's working really well. All of the players come from the "mundane" world to Barovia and so there's a constant...

Sweet!

Is the conversion project still ongoing? Seems like a while since the last one!

Session 5: Chekhov's Hedge Maze We begin with our heroes catching their breath and recouperating after a harrowing battle to fend off Duchess Ethelyn's rebel soldiers as the sea wall to the Axis Island fortress grinded open, seemingly at a snail's pace, to allow in the Risuri naval forces...

Session 4: To the Lighthouse We began with the party resting in the sea cavve in which they had just fought a Danoran holdout miner, apparently empowered by some recovered artifacts which gave him the power to command minor beings of shadow and earth energy. Ume and Ekthos took their rest...

Session 3 was a rollicking good time! The party began by waking on the morning after the rather memorable maiden voyage of the RNS Coaltongue, aboard which they foiled a sabotage attempt by none other than Duchess Ethelyn of Shale, sister of King Aodahn, as well as her handmaiden and a few...
