My own table is going to start CoS as soon as we finish <em>Tyranny of Dragons</em> (we were going to do <em>Princes of the Apocalypse,</em> but my players are major Ravenloft fans, so as soon as this was announced, it went to the front of the line).</p><p></p><p>So, let us know what changes you make and how they work out at the table!</p><p></p><p>How are you starting the adventure, if your campaign doesn't take place in the Forgotten Realms? Is anyone moving Barovia wholesale to a different world/plane?</p><p></p><p>I'm also particularly interested in hearing about how the DDAL adventures can be worked into a <em>Curse of Strahd</em> campaign, or vice-versa.</p><p></p><p>NOTE: This is now a wiki thread.

[QUOTE="jayoungr, post: 6840521, member: 6702445"] Now that [I]Curse of Strahd[/I] is out, I figure this is a good time to hear about how people are planning to run it! My own table is going to start CoS as soon as we finish [I]Tyranny of Dragons[/I] (we were going to do [I]Princes of the Apocalypse,[/I] but my players are major Ravenloft fans, so as soon as this was announced, it went to the front of the line). So, let us know what changes you make and how they work out at the table! How are you starting the adventure, if your campaign doesn't take place in the Forgotten Realms? Is anyone moving Barovia wholesale to a different world/plane? I'm also particularly interested in hearing about how the DDAL adventures can be worked into a [I]Curse of Strahd[/I] campaign, or vice-versa. NOTE: This is now a wiki thread. Please post favorite ideas below (or summaries, with links to the posts that explain them in detail). Thanks!
