Happy Halloween! 🎃 Anyone doing Strahd Must Die Tonight... tonight? 😅🧛 #Strahd #CurseofStrahd

As in the stat block (the one from Vecna: Eve of Ruin)? I'm adding one of those to Hazlik's tower, funnily enough - my players will likely encounter it next session. 😈🕯

I've been trying my best to publish a new video weekly on Mondays, but the upcoming "How I Ran: Hazlan (Part 1)" video is taking a looong time to edit (it's a long one) - so I doubt it'll be ready for Monday. Hopefully later on in the week rather than skipping a week entirely, but we'll see... 🤞💥

One year ago... Answering the question: should you surprise your players with Curse of Strahd? The answer is probably no(!) - here's why... #CurseofStrahd www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkWC... (as an aside, seeing Strahd in the video's thumbnail still makes me laugh...)

New DM of the Mists video! 🌫 It's Halloween week! 🎃 So I thought I'd do a silly/semi-jokey video detailing 99 ways a PC (Player Character) might die in one of the most notorious & difficult D&D 5E campaigns! (Note: expect spoilers throughout!) #CurseofStrahd www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhuL...

This is really cool. I did a tarokka draw of my own & left the results as a comment.

Questions/discussions include:
- Maintaining horror as PCs get stronger
- Dice superstitions
- When to offer light or hope in a world of tragedy
- Fave Strahd consort
- When to do the Keepers of the Feather reveal
- Jander & Firan (Ravenloft NPCs)
- I also did a quick Second Tarokka Reading draw!

One year ago... When should Strahd be first introduced in Curse of Strahd? He's not a villain who should wait until the very end to reveal himself, after all. A lot of DMs introduce him fairly early on - but there is another way... 🧛😈 #CurseofStrahd www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VcG...

Hopefully it'll all work out (I'm sure it will) - but if it doesn't for whatever reason, then could that prep be saved for another time/group? Hopefully it won't go to waste. E.g. I prepared a load of stuff on Roll20 for a one-shot that didn't happen, but I could reuse it for other people instead.

Wouldn’t be in your local library, but what about my novels? First one is $0.99 at the mo on Kindle (or free if Kindle Unlimited). Very D&D inspired but is its own thing. More info here: stevemorganauthor.com

If you're looking for alternative Halloween (or Ravenloft) music, I recommend British musician Ed Harcourt. One of my fave singer-songwriters. His Halloweeniest/Ravenloftiest songs include "Loup Garou", "Heart of a Wolf", "A Ghost Walked Through Me" and "Deathless"…

In last night's session, my players finally found & reunited with Firan! First time they've seen him since May 2023, which (by my math) was about 90 session ago. Lots of catching up to do! 🧙‍♂️💀
