No matter how much low-light and creepy music you add, you're still around a table with snacks, bathroom breaks, and so on. There's a lot of NPCs in the module, including the Tarokka Ally, and I'd definitely boost the party size instead of levels.Īs to running the game, you're already halfway there because you're both invested in playing dread. Strahd has a TON of lair abilities, and if run properly, can easily walk over a 10th level party of 4-5 heroes, even with artifacts in hand. This site has them listed out.Īs to a solo hero, you'll need more than 2 people. These would include the Hags, the Abbott, the Roc, Baba Lysaga, the Werewolf leader, and the Gulthias tree. I'd also consider half or quarter credit to a level for neutralizing a major enemy (whether by combat or other means, doesn't mean they're dead).

As to artifacts, you could grant a "half" credit for a level for finding one (there's 3), and a half-credit for the ally (or if none just give it anyways). A simple approach is to level-up when you feel the party has adequately resolved an area For example, in Barovia, they bury Kolyan and/or otherwise convince Ireena to leave, and they've gotten a Tarokka reading with Madame Eva = 1 level. I liked his ideas so much that I bought his Guide on DM guild and home-brewed my own material with it.Īs to XP, I'm going with milestones because it fits the campaign better, and there's going to be several times when running or other options are better than hack n slash. I'm coincidentally prepping to run that campaign very soon and highly recommend visiting this guy's excellent site. My girlfriend LOVES horror stuff (major reason we are playing it), so anything in that vein that super spooked your players would be fantastic. Should it be from the random encounters during travel? I'm just a little lost on this bit.Īlso, if you just have any good general tips for running the game please let me know. My question comes in a more "between the lines" aspect of, how exactly are characters supposed to be leveling up? I am using the table at the beginning as a guide that states what level characters should be at for each "section", but especially early on I don't see where a lot of the XP is coming from. Also, following the dungeons or encounters that pop up is no problem, I can read the book just fine. I get that this is more of a sandbox setting (which is cool), and it will be up to my girlfriend to figure out where to go and what to do. I typically don't run pre-planned campaigns, so I might be having a little bit of an issue understanding how this is put together. We just finished the Death House intro adventure and she is about to set out into Ravenloft for real. I'm running a "Solo" Curse of Strahd Campaign for my girlfriend, so its just her character and my DMPC.
