One of the things Strahd delights in is corrupting groups fighting against him and turning them on themselves. It makes it much easier for him to destroy them.When I ran my game, I told them about this, and that they would definitely have chances to turn to the dark side for their own benefit. I also reminded them about how that sort of thing typically works out in horror stories. I told them there would be the option to flirt with a dark part, but also that there would come a time when there would be no turning back. And I got everyone to be okay with it.Since we've been talking about Firefly, remember there is an episode where Jayne turns on the crew and tries to turn in River for a bounty. Mal finds out about it and comes this close to killing him. They work things out in the end and it's a good piece of character development. Maybe your Strahd game is going to have a moment like that.But maybe not, too. I had my group all have backup characters just in case.</blockquote>
