When placed in the ruins of the dragon's castle (he ruled there in Human form) a beacon is lit that will diminish the perpetual cloud cover that keeps the sunlight at bay. Some guy just shows up one day, out of the blue, and nobody wonders if he might not just HAPPEN to be the mysterious vampire hunter their master is seeking?Īt least one powerful item that the party should seek (to make their job easier if nothing else) is the skull of a silver dragon slain by Strahd centuries ago. HUH? Strahd has spies everywhere from the bats and wolves of the wild to the Vistani that have sided with him. He understands that Strahd would like nothing more than to capture and torture him so he hides among the people of Borovia, posing as someone else. So von Richten is hunting Strahd but he's not a young man any more and he realizes he's bitten off more than he can chew. Borovia is a closed system.cut off from the outside world unless the Vistani bring people in with them. The vampire hunter von Richten is also a problem. So do these damned mists work or not? If they do, how do all of these random people just stroll in? If they don't, then why does Strahd need to send the Vistani out to lure in the unwary? They keep others out.unless Strahd's Vistani bring them through.or they come through hunting Strahd (as in the case of Rudolph von Richten, acclaimed vampire hunter).or they come through seeking their mentor (as in the case of Ezmerelda, von Richten's protoge'). The mists that have cut off Borovia from the surrounding lands seem to make no sense at all. So the powerful wizard/vampire can't leave but the obvious ***** ripoffs can just because he allows it? Huh? However, the Vistani who serve him may come and go as they please, usually to lead adventurers into Strahd's realm. On the one hand, he is trapped by the mists that surround Borovia so he cannot leave. Strahd himself is portrayed as both the most powerful ruler of his own prison and the most inept villain ever. This comes from playing through it once and reading it over several times. I don't want to go over the entirety of the material because I don't think that would benefit anyone, but I would like to point out a few examples of issues with the material as it's written.
DARK CRYPT TOME SPOILERS HOW TO
I want to preface this with a few bits of information, just so things will be read in context:ġ) I'm over 50 and have played RPGs, including D&D, for nearly 40 years.Ģ) I've published 2 novels and have written close to 5 million words in my life so I have an idea about pacing, plot and how to get readers (and players) to go where they need to.ģ) The Curse of Strahd material, as written, sucks.
