omg victor can i see your spellbook? Wow, this thing is really messed up, huh? Where did you get it from? Oh, there's a note at the beginning. "From the Library of Vasili von Holtz"

huh. weird that that funky old man would have something like that. cool though.

The sleeperrrr (not really. He can't anymore.)

[tofu-bento-box]

MORE! MORE! 6 and 7!

6. Did you make any NPCs more sympathetic than in canon? Or less sympathetic?

i really tried to make victor a bitch. upon meeting the party he was a loser who was guarding the tome of strahd and admitted to killing two people within about a minute of conversation. he continues to be snarky and abrasive at every opportunity and STILL my party likes him. i can’t get them to abandon him. so now i gotta find some plot hook for him (stay tuned on that)

strahda has been changed to have a backstory that’s more sympathetic to my players. she’s a lesbian who was trapped in a marriage with sergei because she was being passed over due to sexism (in my game, sergei and tatyana are related rather than sergei and strahd), and her snapping point was that the man she’d married was upset she didn’t love him.

7. What's your named character death count so far? (Players, friendly NPCs, villains.)

hoooooh boy i gotta check my session notes

izek (confirmed) - captured in the blue water inn, taken to a cave and interrogated, then executed

lydia and vargas vallakovich (presumed) - a riot started at the festival of the blazing sun and they were thrown into the woods covered in raw meat juice. could have theoretically survived but haven’t made an appearance yet

fiona, karl, and nikolai wachter (confirmed) - off-screened by another npc for being banites

sasha (on general principle) - i may have gotten rid of baba lysaga, but i kept her house! it’s named sasha. died when the party removed the gem from inside of it to give it back to the martikovs

rahadin vhenikatchu (confirmed…?) - possessed by the warlock’s patron and then walked off the drawbridge outside castle ravenloft. his body might be mush, but maybe something could be done with his bones…

sylon donahue (confirmed) - resident of the abbey, killed to start a murder mystery. he barely counts

ezmerelda d’avenir (confirmed) - fell unconscious due to smoke inhalation during the fall of argynvostholt, then fell from the third floor to the ground when ireena’s grip slipped. the party was told she was dead before she fell…

vasilka greene (confirmed, but resurrected) - stabbed to death and hung from a tree, with a message carved into her back to bait the party into looking for her murderer. she was immediately taken up to the abbey, and her injuries were mild enough to be treated via raise dead. the abbot lost their shit and immediately resurrected her

for a grand total of 11!

[anantplayingdnd]

Well well well, if it isn’t every single one of the curse of strahd characters.

when the objectively bad person has traumatic and honestly reasonable reasons for why theyre like that but it doesnt excuse their actions and only serves to make them more tragic as a character

Sherlock & "his voice gives the inferable knowledge that he kisses boys and likes it" co

[sexy-sapphic-sorcerer]

Sherlock: I can see light at the end of the tunnel. John: yeah, that's probably the afterlife, mate. Heaven for me and hell for you. Sherlock: but we come as a pair!

Sherlock just casually implying 'we're going to be together forever, even in death' 🥺

Day 14 - Magic Everyone's favorite boy! I won't lie, when I played my character, I almost killed him the first time we met him... But in my defense, I was playing as a paladin with a restrictive moral compass!

...and he was mean...

[anantplayingdnd]

"i'm immune to the Viktor Vallakovich love, i'm immune, oooh, it won't happen to me, no, no, no i'm different." - me, not realizing that as soon as they dispel the messed up magic that's been making this poor kid teleport randomly around barovia for the past week and a half that the party member who has a thing for adopting fucked up little kids is going to adopt this fucked up little kid and he's going to have to become one of my blorbos now.
