Vampires!

Do you know everything about the dread adventure Curse of Strahd?

Well Count Strahd von Zarovich asked me to collect all twee…Croaks! about Castle Ravenloft and village of Barovia

@ChrisPerkinsDnD How does the Strahd material for Adv League fit with the Curse of Strahd adventure? Prelude? Parallel? — Gary Weston (@FeedMySheep) February 15, 2016

They are Ravenloft-themed adventures set in the Realms that can lead characters to Barovia. https://t.co/4K99M0vpId — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) February 15, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD is Death House going to be available on the DM’s Guild? — Calvin R Baker (@crb31) February 19, 2016

It’s in the #CurseofStrahd adventure. You can also download “Death House” for free in the latest issue of DRAGON+. https://t.co/9j0x3NIppw — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) February 19, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD is the new Ravenloft setting going to be easy to re-skin for a home brewed setting? — Jonathan Hill (@jonahill) February 21, 2016

I think so. It’s very modular. https://t.co/sc9rVAPtF5 — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) February 21, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD who is your favourite villain you have ever created and why? #DMenvy — Jordan Berry (@BezNo1) February 22, 2016

My current favorite is Lady Fiona Wachter. You’ll meet her in #CurseofStrahd. She sleeps with her dead husband. https://t.co/juwUHojSsQ — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) February 22, 2016

An old favorite of mine is Dorethau Vadu, a tiefling crime lord who cooked and ate the offspring of her enemies. https://t.co/juwUHojSsQ — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) February 22, 2016

Retweet (not quote) this tweet for your #dndfortune! You can pre-order Curse of Strahd now! https://t.co/LB0nwysldI pic.twitter.com/tlrxvWdA5F — Madam Eva (@Wizards_DnD) February 8, 2016

@JeremyECrawford @JimZub Any chance of Ravenloft getting a setting treatment? Or is this going to be a standalone that I’m still buying ;)? — Peter (@Peter_Smyk) January 18, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD can you give any word to if Curse of Strahd setting will be open like OotA or more of a linear adventure like RoT? — Impius (@Impius) February 8, 2016

Curse of Strahd is definitely not a linear adventure. It’s more of an open sandbox, like OotA. https://t.co/M98pWFgQUz — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) February 9, 2016

Curse of Strahd focuses on the lands of Barovia, a #DnD mini-setting filled with gothic towns, NPCs, and tales. https://t.co/SYwzlVmIVK — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 18, 2016

@mikemearls how challenging would you say the new Curse of Strahd module will be? Should I be gathering veterans? — wacksteven (@wacksteven) January 27, 2016

it has play options for level 1, but definitely requires some smart play. it’s gothic horror, not a commando raid. https://t.co/ZYmPloaxbx — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) January 27, 2016

@JeremyECrawford I don’t think these APs are adequate product support for 5e. We need non FR player options and monsters. — Lex Starwalker (@LexStarwalker) January 18, 2016

@jackAbrasion@LexStarwalkerthis doesn’t appear to be FR The realm of #Ravenloft can be reached from any #DnD world. — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 18, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD @JeremyECrawford @mikemearls I know it’s HUSH-HUSH, but are lower priced entry level PRINTED products an interest for WotC? — JB Little (@DropTheDie) January 28, 2016

@mikemearls Any updates to Castle Ravenloft itself? — Patrick Blouin (@PatouLeFou) January 27, 2016

The adventure builds on the original, but does add significant new content. https://t.co/GHpOILHK0V — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) January 27, 2016

@mikemearls @JeremyECrawford is the land of Barovia going to be placed somewhere in The Realms, or an Interdimensional plane for 5e. — Chazz (@MrPointy2) January 18, 2016

Barovia is where the DMG (p. 51) says it is: in a demiplane of shadow and dread. #DnD https://t.co/2sBYlKJmCJ — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 18, 2016

@JeremyECrawford where was it beforehand? Or is that a DM Fiat thing? — Oskar581- Josh Hanna (@Oskar581Hanna) January 19, 2016

Barovia was pulled into its demiplane from a forgotten world, which a DM can choose, create, or leave unknown. #DnD https://t.co/JN65J6AkYT — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 19, 2016

Barovia’s home world is a mystery. Curse of Strahd mentions that fact & has cultural artifacts from that world. #DnD https://t.co/lDSv3I9SP5 — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 19, 2016

@TheUnseenUThe planar information in the 5E DMg says its on the edge of the Plane of Shadows.That’s where Barovia is now. We were talking about the world it originally came from. — Jeremy Crawford (@JeremyECrawford) January 20, 2016





@ChrisPerkinsDnD What’s the best way for a new(-ish) GM to get familiar with Ravenloft before returning there for #Strahd — Tom Mathias (@TomMathias) January 28, 2016

Try to get your hands on a copy of the original RAVENLOFT adventure. The PDF is available at https://t.co/LdnCjNFwQe https://t.co/LSUYzgWtXu — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 29, 2016

@JeremyECrawford HOLY CRAP! Was running Out of the Abyss when this fantastic news broke. Can the mists of Ravenloft reach the Underdark? LOL — Jim (@dimeles) January 19, 2016

Hey @Wizards_DnD I noticed the text on the top left is missing from this image of the new Ravenloft adventure! pic.twitter.com/O6jBbnVhpp — Sound Hammer (@SoundHammerInc) January 19, 2016

The adventure has the same name as the overall campaign, so it’s not needed. https://t.co/ezWIQs2FvY — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) January 21, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD @SlyFlourish @Morrus Is Barovia still in the Demi-plane or is it back in the material plane in FR somehow? — Colin Pekruhn (@cpekruhn) January 18, 2016

Barovia remains where it has always been. https://t.co/oa1IJ1q3nY — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 18, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Crazy excited about Curse of Strahd! Question: When it says “for characters levels 1 – 10” does that mean start at lvl 1? — Pedro Galicia (@PocketPedro) January 18, 2016

The adventure doesn’t have to start at level 1, but it can. https://t.co/xIXnETGiTP — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 18, 2016

Can’t wait to try Ravenloft 5e. @ChrisPerkinsDnD you’ve never disappointed so I know its gonna be amazing. — Jake Walker (@EnigmaSSB) January 19, 2016

CURSE OF STRAHD might be my best work to date, thanks to my editors, @JeremyECrawford and Kim Mohan. https://t.co/1pvxioV84f — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 19, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I know that Alice in Wonderland was a lot of inspiration for OotA, any sources of inspiration for Curse of Strahd? — Impius (@Impius) January 23, 2016

Ravenloft was the primary inspiration, but our collaboration with the Hickmans yielded many wonderful new ideas. https://t.co/nwYSWT7y1q — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 23, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD How possible is it to adapt Curse of Strahd to higher levels? My PCs will probably be 7-8th. — Mark Cogan (@marqcogan) January 23, 2016

You can drop them into the adventure, no sweat. Some outlying areas will be easy combat-wise but still frightening. https://t.co/jZHPEBx8hY — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 23, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD How about a group comprised entirely of halfling bards, yea/nay? — Matt C. (@Kaosdevice) January 23, 2016

Fabulous. But the troupe only works if it has a good name, like “The Trouble Clefs” or “The Walloping Warblers.” https://t.co/HnKQg5fpy5 — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 23, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I’m new to the ‘planes’ concept. Where is Ravenloft in relation to Faerûn and can I implement it in a FR based campaign? — Ed (@marley_von) January 24, 2016

Ravenloft exists within its own demiplane and can trap creatures from other planes and worlds. https://t.co/QmSA89bNNN — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 24, 2016

@mikemearls Will there be a line of Curse of Strahd miniatures? — Dan Powell (@aloadofbullshit) January 24, 2016

The next set of WizKids minis has some Ravenloft-themed minis, alongside classic D&D critters and adventurers. https://t.co/qGGz84ynKp — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) January 24, 2016

@Alphastream you’d have to contact them directly – not familiar with those specifics — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) January 24, 2016

Any chance WizKids can tell us if the case distribution has changed so you get a full set in a case?

@HuntGJonesOut of the Abyss took place in Rage of Demons, is Curse of Strahd getting a season of its own, or is it more of a “standalone”? it’s getting a season of its own — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) January 25, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Is Curse of Strahd a retelling of Ravenloft or sequel? Just wondering why the title change. #DnD #Ravenloft #CurseofStrahd — Michael DeMoss (@michael_demoss) January 26, 2016

Curse of Strahd expands the Ravenloft story. It also introduces several new stories. Hence, it has its own title. https://t.co/OprZGB8SO0 — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 26, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Is Curse Of Strahd going to feature the “Nose of Vecna” adventure we’ve been hearing rumors about for the last two years? — Matt C. (@Kaosdevice) January 26, 2016

I’m afraid not, but Vecna does appear in the adventure (although he’s never mentioned by name, of course). #whaaaat https://t.co/4PuVRlnRz0 — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 26, 2016

@DravenSwiftbowLooking on your website it looks like Curse of Strahd is not being released in Canada. Just wondering if that is the case? weird – should be available there — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) January 30, 2016

@StevenMartinLAre there going to be new character options in Curse of Strahd like subclasses, backgrounds, or spells? no – I think there’s a background, but that’s it. — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) January 30, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Hey Chris, did Dr. Rudolph van Richten make it into the new Curse of Strahd story? #dnd5e #Ravenloft — Kevin Higgins (@kevinhiggins) January 26, 2016

Dr. Rudolph van Richten plays a pivotal role in the Curse of Strahd story. That’s all I’ll say. #whaaaaaaat https://t.co/Ww8gMwhtU1 — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 26, 2016

@ChrisPerkinsDnD What’s the official name for the Curse of Strahd storyline? — Giltônio Santos (@Giltonio) January 27, 2016

Curse of Strahd. (The storyline and the TRPG adventure have the same name.) https://t.co/ZS7up4fHf8 — Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 28, 2016

Did some work last year for Dungeons & Dragons, this was one of the cover ideas for The Curse of Strahd

And here’s the final cover, out in March I think
