The Hashtag AND my Signature? People might think that over the top :)

Its Hardcover. THe era of the boxed set died in the late 80's early 90's

REmember Familiarity breeds acceptance. DRow can be accepted but never fully trusted. Look at their own society. Few Drow have what we would term Friendships. their Matriarchal setup and the fact that their chief Goddess is prone to eugenics amongst her own people means that Friendships in...

The only issue I have with DM rewards to be honest is that I want a standard. I dont want to say run Secrets of Sokol Keep earn 300exp (because of a misprint) and then earn 200exp for Embers of Elmwood. In the same context, I earn 100 gold for Embers of Elmwood and 0 gold for Secrets of Sokol...

If you have a 7 player table KahlessNestor, I can dig around and try and find my gm notes on how many extra critters I had to include. (Part 3 however is far easier to scale, although be careful with multiple ogres!)

AL trusts it's dms to follow the rules as have been stated. Kalani's post above should be all you need to know in that regard.

I have an Elk Barbarian/Druid on one of my tables.

Rils: Only a few of us know (Im not one of them) and that is those from Winter Fantasy. Do I think tonally the scenarios that were Expeditions will be different? I think we will get more slight horror elements but Im really not sure. I think come March we will all be hit with the scenarios and...

Yeah while techically in battle I describe the death of my monsters as 'you crush a skull' or you sever the orcs spine at the base in a diagonal thrust' Im always loathe to do that to people who have gone down into death save land. If they DO die, then saying they lost their leg would cause...

Yeah now that I have reread that, you might be right. However does D&D even address what mechanical issues are present if you come back missing a leg or arm?

Personally Id like the characters to realise that they arnt in Kansas anymore until AFTER they have made the change to Barovia.

oh.. they changed it? I never actually played Ravenloft in 3e. Only in 1e /2nd ed. After my 2e Ravenloft game folded Ive never really touched the setting again. Back in 2e, Orcs definetly didnt exist. You had Caliban , which were really the same as Orcs.

one thing to keep in mind is that its designed for a 5 player group. Ive seen a 3 player group have serious problems in the first Goblin cave because the GM did not scale it for having 3 players and it was a TPK. The players more or less gave up 5e because of it.

One thing in regards to bringing someone back from the dead, remember that their body needs to be intact. So if its missing any organ or an arm, leg, or head then the spell dosnt work. A lot of people seem to ignore this part of the spell (and its why you have resurrection as a spell)...

Also keep in mind people are very provincial in Ravenloft. Most Barovians dont even know that other domains exist. It might be a family legend that a great great uncle once escaped into the mist and was never seen again. Thus most people you meet will be quite insular. Generally this would...

Locally? We have 0 Paladins, 1 Wizard, a lot of Assassins (Quite a few rogues but all Assassins) and 1 or 2 Clerics. Its quite common nowadays for my games to have multiple wild mages at the table.

Saying you are from the Lords Alliance is gonna make a lot of townsfolk VERY worried. Strahd their Lord is in an alliance with someone? and you are doorknocking asking for things?

Thanks. I dont envy the 1 hour scenario writers. Must be very hard after a while to make each and everyone one standard out on its own merits.

Im only going on what Ive heard. We have the 'Death House' which Im guessing is a Haunted house either in town or just outside of it and a Windmill. No clue where that will be.. but Im going with Creepy Field of Wheat and Scarecrows. a Monastery wouldnt be too much of a Stretch but I think this...

From the podcast it seems like they took I6 and really expanded Barovia for starters including some form of Haunted House and a Windmill location. Physically Barovia also appears to be bigger (the valley area as well as the mountains). They also gave suggestions for multiple ways of getting the...
