Hello again everyone! I'm back once more with the next PDF installment of the Fleshing Out series! But before I get into that, I want to send a massive THANK YOU to everyone who commented on and liked my last post. You guys have no idea how much your support means to me. Even after all these years, you guys know how to bring a smile to my face and I am so so proud to be able to create content for yall! <3

Now, let me stop myself from getting any sappier! xD Without further adieu, I bring you a chapter on Van Richten's Tower! Enjoy!

What's in Chapter 7?

Hi guys! So, it's been literal years. Whooooooopsssss!

Life has most certainly gotten away from me and time has moved on at an unrelenting pace. However, I find myself doing exceptionally well mentally after some big ol life changes and have finally been picking up my old projects again! Huzzah!

I know it's been a while, and maybe the lot of you no longer need Curse of Strahd content from little old me, but in case you do, boy do I have a DOOSEY for you!

I have finished the Pretty version of my Vallaki chapter! And ngl, it's huge (cough85pagescough). I didn't mea

Hello one and all!

I just wanted to drop by with a quick update on my Pretty Version guides for CoS! Currently, I'm working on Vallaki and the chapter is a lot, lol. I suppose that makes sense since, my goodness, there's a lot happening in Vallaki. XD

Long story short, I'm still a bit of a ways from finishing, though I work on it at least a little everyday. In between work, running dnd games, normal life stuff, and sleep (which I'm more and more convinced is more of a suggestion than a necessity lol), I can assure you guys that I am going as quickly as as I can. At this point, with editing, images, and everything else, I'm looking at another couple weeks on the chapter.

Thanks so much

Hello again! I've returned to bring you all chapter 5 of the series! This one covers our favorite over-powered encounter!

What's in Chapter 5?

In this fifth official installment, you'll find all the following information:

• Travel & Encounters. Suggested encounters to use on the way to Old Bonegrinder that are story relevant!
• Quick Reference Tables. Handy charts listing the names of NPCs and the questionable loot hidden within this terrible windmill.
• Running Role-Play. How might you run this encounter as an RP opportunity? How do the h

Bwahahahaha! My chapter on the Vistani and Madam Eva's Tarokka reading is finally out! And, because I couldn't seem to stop myself, not only does it include recommendations for rigging the reading, but also provides whole dang tables to correspond with those readings. Plus, of course, my stuff on the Vistani (who are an amazing people and culture and who wouldn't want to send that amazingness into the world lolol).

So, without further ado!

What's in Chapter 4?

In this fourth official installment, you'll find all the following information:

Another chapter is out! This time, we're covering the Village of Barovia and all its sad folk. Get yourself organized, figure out how to handle Ireena, and prepare for a fight with Doru. I hope y'all enjoy! :D

On another note, the RAVENLOFT SOURCEBOOK has been announced, and I'm SOOOO EXCITED! \o/ I'm absolutely shivering with antici-

What's in Chapter 3?

In this third official installment, you'll find all the following information:

• Location Advice & Adventure Flow. How might you present the various locations and events in the vill

Firstly, THANK YOU ALL SO SO SO MUCH for all the love and support on the first entry in this series! I was quite anxious about what everyone would think, and I was honestly floored by all the positivity. So once again, THANK YOU. <3

To quickly answer some common questions I received last time: I'll be posting a new chapter every 1-2 weeks. There will be a chapter for every major location and each of those chapters will be as comprehensive as I can make them. Yes, I do plan on bundling them together at one point.

The information in these pretty

I've often received requests for compiled versions of my guides. And, after all this time, I'm finally putting it all together! Over the course of the coming months, I'll be releasing Fleshing Out guides one chapter at a time on the DM's Guild.

In these chapters, I'll cover absolutely everything you can think of from my posts here on reddit. Except, it'll all be better organized and include a number of revisions that I think will better the campaign as a whole.

Overall, this series is slowly but surely turning into a passion project for me and I

Hello everyone!

I've created a Player Primer/Character Chronicler for CoS! What's a Player Primer, you ask? Well, it's a document with a bunch of tables that helps players come up with characters suited for a specific module. And now there's one for Barovia! :D

Hello everyone! In my last post, I said that I'd be writing about Vampyr next. But I've realized that there are a few subjects I haven't covered in my series yet and I tend to get a number of questions about that missing content. So before finishing up Fleshing Out, I want to go ahead and fill in the blanks. Is this just a way for me to avoid saying goodbye to this series? Mayyybeeee. XD But I also don't want to leave you guys hanging. So instead of Vampyr, you guys get my take on Vasili and Ireena. Enjoy!

Alright everyone. This is it. This is the fight that the entire campaign has led up to from the moment you and your players read the title. Sure, there might be a bit of clean-up or epilogue once Strahd has been vanquished, but that's nothing compared to this fight. Let's. Do. THIS.
