Randall A Dettmer: I played only the first few chapters of this adventure a few years ago and was disappointed that our group didn't finish it. I picked this up to add to my collection but, after reading a few pages, it sucked me in! This is such a great adventure! If you like dark and murky D&D adventures with vampires, ghosts, and witches than this is it! Come join us!

Haider Ali KhanHaider Ali Khan: So much information and the fact that you get a really big map with it was insane, but for immersion its better to get the tarokka deck and the dm screen as it has more details which will help in running the module

Christian: En general puedo decir que el producto me encanta. Desde que lo abres es una sorpresa tras otra. Lo malo es que una sorpresa no grata es que el libro no es de pasta dura. Sería perfecto de no ser por ese detalle.

Dr. DWK: The Curse of Strahd is an iconic, classic D&D adventure. I'm currently playing the campaign now with some friends and we are having a brilliant time, however it is not without its problems in this day and age, and in light of growing awareness of the importance of inclusivity, the adventure has had a bit of a re-write to deal with some racial insensitivities and the way it treats differently abled characters. Both of these things are important, and it's good that WOTC has addressed them. Which is where most of the star rating for this product comes from.

However, this is more of a review of the Premium Edition product, which contains some good stuff but also some unnecessary padding. What's more the box itself is massive, and most of it is just thick cardboard and empty space (a really nice design but quite impractical to store, especially when the contents are so much smaller than it. The contents of the box include: a DM screen, Tarokka card deck and handout book, some player handouts, a monster book, the 'revamped' adventure, some postcards, a picture of Strahd, and a double-sided poster map.

The Good

DM Screen: this is a nice, solid cardboard screen...

Lluewhyn: This is a very well-done adventure that is somewhat of an adventure/campaign hybrid. Probably a lot more places that the PCs can go than you'll need for a standard adventure, but not enough for a fully detailed campaign.

This adventure rocks on two accounts
1. It has many sub-plots with complex characters that will help the DM weave the outlines of a detailed story, and the resolutions are open-ended enough that the PCs can use their decisions to help flesh out those stories.
2. It doesn't skimp on the crunch either, with many fully detailed maps, traps, interesting encounters, etc.

So, it's a great boon for DMs who like the story assist, and for those who don't want to have to design dungeons, come up with reasons for rooms, set up traps, determine multiple monsters and challenges for parties of different levels, etc.

However, it does have one big drawback -with all of the detail in this book, it is very challenging to run the adventure due to a lack of summary, important details scattered, and just general lack of good organization. It basically says, "Here's how the PCs start, they'll search around to find 3 items and 1 ally, they'll level up, and...

Tim Bannock: A neuronphaser.com review.

CONTENT (4/5)

Curse of Strahd is a re-tread of the original plot of I6 Ravenloft (later revised for AD&D 2nd edition as RM4 House of Strahd, and again, but more heavily so, for the revised 3.5 edition as Expedition to Castle Ravenloft), but with a metric boatload of added content. While the bulk is about the vampire Strahd von Zarovich and his oppressive rulership over the Village of Barovia, as well as his eternal sorrow and rage manifesting in physical form throughout his lair — Castle Ravenloft, of course — there’s a ton of other plots directly and indirectly tied to Strahd. The players can try to rid Barovia of zombies and hags, take on werewolves, and break into Castle Ravenloft only to face their deaths…or they can play it smart and travel the lands of Barovia, gathering magic items, allies, and lore that will help make the fight against Strahd that much more likely to be a success. Built for characters of levels 1 through 10, there’s easily enough adventuring material for characters to climb a fair bit higher than that, though the bulk of the challenges tend to hover around levels 4-9.

Thankfully, Curse of Strahd...

Daniel CenozDaniel Cenoz: Renúncia de Responsabilidade

A Wizards of the Coast não pode ser responsabilizada por nenhum efeito colateral de longo prazo de se aventurar no apavorante reino de Ravenloft, tais como licantropia, vampirismo, medo de coisas mortas, medo de coisas vivas, a incapacidade de dormir sem um abajur aceso e uma Vingadora Sagrada +5 debaixo do travesseiro, e a suspeita recorrente de que Strahd e esperto demais para ter sido vencido com tanta facilidade e que tudo isto pode ser apenas parte de algum plano que se extende além de Barovia. Você não acha que conseguiria escapar se isso não fosse exatamente o que ele queria, não é verdade?

E voltamos ao mais temido e amado cantinho de Dungeons & Dragons!!!! Ravenloft chegou com tudo à 5ª Edição prometendo muito horror e mistérios para preencher as nossas sessões noturnas de RPG.

Num livrão lindo, caprichado mesmo, de mais de 250 páginas e cheio de ilustrações que mostram a nova cara da terra de Baróvia, um lugar triste habitado por um povo sem esperança e dominado pela presença opressiva e constante de seu governante: o conde vampiro Strahd Von Zarovich.

Ravenloft é um setting de atmosfera...
