[QUOTE="not-so-newguy, post: 9819818, member: 6786140"] We're not meeting for the rest of December because of scheduling conflicts. Right now, I'm tinkering with the Random Encounter table for Ravenloft Castle. I've moved for the more hostile encounters towards the center, making them more likely to occur, and increased their numbers. I've also removed the Ezmerelda encounter because she's not a very important NPC in this campaign. She's been replaced with a Ghoul encounter. The Barovian Commoners Encounter has also been changed.
