A year and a half later, we finally got around to try it but we largely failed to fit it in one day... We already started with a huge delay of 2-3 hours for various reasons, and then the players were immediately interested in doing serious investigations in Barovia, so it became quickly very obvious to me that if I had pushed them forward just to speed the game up, it would not have been satisfying. At the end of the first session they hadn't even finished visiting all locations they wanted within the village...For work and family reasons, we had to wait another year and a half to continue the adventure, but we finally did during this Christmas holidays. By now however, I had abandoned the idea of keeping it short, it will take whatever it takes! With the second session, they reached the castle and started exploring it. I have removed all random or minor encounters but also added new ones (inspired by Curse of Strahd but not exactly like in that book). I expect 2 or 3 more sessions to complete it.</blockquote>
