Curse of Strahd–D&D Encounters S22 S1



This week was week two at Kingslayer Comics — last week we did Character Creation. I had taken last season off of D&D Encounters [mostly because my wife found the material too scary], but also because I needed a bit of a creative break.

I am back behind the screen DM’ing for Curse of Strahd & I am ready to roll!


I loved the original Ravenloft stuff which dropped just at the end of my Bauhaus phase–I remember finding it fun and campy and that it lead nicely to my mockery of Vampire the Masquerade and all the Circles of Black which that brought to the D&D Community.


Kingslayer Comics where I am playing is fantastic–we had 12 players at two tables which was totally perfect. DM Kevin and I had developed a prequel adventure to get the players into the mood & make sure that they were comfortable with their role playing and general D&D mechanics.


It went really well–the players seemed very into it


There was some combat & we did use the Pathfinder iCrit and iFumble apps which are totally fantastic.






I had not planed on using mini’s–but the players had come prepared and so we created some impromptu encounters which felt very old school to me–the 3×5 card is a platform, the blue skittles are drow, etc.
