- No town in Curse of Strahd has as many secrets as Vallaki! It can be difficult for a DM to remember all those secrets and how they tangle together. That's what this video is for! Before your party arrives in Vallaki, watch this for a quick reminder of all the drama they could encounter!

This is so helpful for someone like me who gets super distracted when reading to prep and make notes! Thank you so much!
Was about to come comment about how I love the energy in the video and general content, but the mispronunciation were majorly pulling me out of it. I'm glad I took the time to read the other comments and I appreciate you being forthcoming with where this comes from. I'll definitely give the other CoS videos a listen.
I made the vampire spawn into musicians who play music at the festivals. They are leveled monsters with class features and look like the Lost Boys. The party won't know they are vampires until later at the Feast of St Andral event.
Very cool! Love that idea!
I just finished the first time through Valaki... holy cow there is a lot going on in this town 😳
Gotta love the "Lady Wachter sleeps with her dead husband" bit...
*shivers* yep. love it. *shivering intensifies*
I'm running this campaign, and I've read the chapter. This video was tremendously helpful in connecting things together.
Hey Hannah oh, this is one of the best summation videos I've seen for curse of strahd. Looking forward to the stream party. Congrats on 1k subscribers again
Thank you! I am too! See toy then! 😁
My party hated the burgomaster the day they met him that they used the assassin mirror to kill him...before they met lady wachter and before the blazing sun festival. I've got a lot of improving to do
Thank you!! Just discovered your channel... I'm running it now, and I need all the help I can get. =) New subscriber here!
Welcome! It is a beast of an adventure for sure! Good luck my friend!
Im studying all this videos to role better my char on a Neverwinter Nights RP sever "Ravenloft prisoners of the mists"
Is it wrong to be upset at the pronunciations of the names?
Not at all! But be warned, I have dyslexia which means I cannot process phonemes, so it is never going to get any better 😅 So if it does trigger you, I might not be the person to watch.. which is totally understandable!
@@HalflingHobbies lol CoS names is the joke. It was a well organized and informative video. Super helpful.
@@kelhammel8793 thank you 😊
@@HalflingHobbies Thanks for sharing
No. Especially considering she mispronounced almost every one lol.
Helpful video, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I love curse of strand❤️
I have been enjoying it as well!
As an Eastern European listening to all the name pronunciation... Ugh... 😫
But overall good job way to go.
I fully admit to having NO idea how to pronounce anything even after listening and practicing! Thank you for suffering through it!! 😆
Great help, but still a marvel how you get basically every name wrong.
😂 me too! Dyslexia is fun like that. It isn’t just names either, it is all words all the time lol
Va-lla-kI, the ephasis is on the last syllable, not the second syllable. The pronnounciation matters.
Thanks! It is difficult for Americans because we always emphasize the second syllable in a multiple syllabic word 😅
@@HalflingHobbies I am sorry Hannah, I misspoke. I meant to say on the second syllable, not the last. As in "Shitaki". You are putting the emphasis on the first syllable. Now I feel like I am being petty. Great video, though!
@@ademiranda2 not at all!! I have dyslexia on top of everything so any help I can get is WELCOME! And thank you!
🙏 B-L-I-N-S-K-Y 🙏
6:03 Blinsky, not Blinksly. =)
When playing Curse of Strahd, my best advice is to just run through the game like an a-hole who just does not care if they live or die, as long as they make things as worse as possible for all the bad people in the world along the way. Which is most people. Attack NPCs just immediately and watch the DM squirm trying to figure out what the means for the larger story.
Note, I do not recommend this for any other adventure AT ALL. But Strahd is a game with like 95% horrible people everywhere, so go nuts. Make Strahd pissed because you're messing with his shitty kingdom. Why not?
😂
play lawful stupid, gripe at the NPCs for not following the rightful leader. All hair Strahd :D
@@HalflingHobbies here's an example:
"A local noble woman invites you and your party to dinner at her manor."
"Great, let's kill her."
"What? Why?"
"Anyone who is thriving in Barovia has to be an evil piece of shit, Strahd isn't just letting good people prosper. So, okay, we killed her. Now what?"
Quinian's Budget Crafts Oh My! What a twist!
@@DannyBellTheAuthor DM - arrests you for murder and has you locked up, if you resist, town turns against you, if you kill the town, the monsters invade en masse. If you beat monsters Strahd comes to kill you for murdering his small village. I'm sure a qualified DM will be able to work around this stuff.
