Hello, internet! I sort of threw this thing together last minute as somewhere to capture the recaps from our Curse of Ravenloft campaign. Let’s hope this works as planned!
So, what is this Curse of Ravenloft? It’s our newly started Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition Halloween campaign! Over the next 6 weeks or so, my party and I will be running through a heavily-modified version of the Curse of Strahd adventure in celebration of spooky season now through about mid-November. We’ll be playing roughly 4 hour sessions twice a week on Monday and Saturday nights 8pm – 12am EST, and I’ll be writing up the recaps hopefully the next day.
I got the idea after listening to an amazing Curse of Strahd recap series that I really enjoyed, and I thought, “I wanna do that! But different!” I had the totally original idea to heavily customize the adventure instead of running RAW. Turns out that’s what literally everyone else does too. Oh, well! At least it means what we’re doing will be both familiar and have its own twists! I hope it’s enjoyable to read.
I would love to shout out all the sources and inspirations I’ve used, but as this is an ongoing campaign, I don’t want to tempt my players with any spoilers. Maybe when the campaign is all said and done I’ll put together a master post of those links. I will say that Curse of Strahd is the primary source, but I’ve also drawn on all the previous versions of Ravenloft as well the numerous Curse of Strahd homebrew resources and some other really out there stuff I’ve somehow crammed into this campaign.
Because of all the modifications and the emphasis of Ravenloft itself as the source of true evil, I’ve elected to call our campaign the Curse of Ravenloft rather than the Curse of Strahd. I hope you’ll all come to understand why.
