Merchant I hate to do this but if u an talk to me I need to talk about the vamp in this campaign
Some poor unlucky villager is gonna have an encounter with a flying zombie head..
..as if their lives weren't miserable enough ..
at least they got pies.
I heard that if you like this video, Merchant will DM your next DnD campaign in full Angrath cosplay
"Roll for fire."
Nat 1
"No fire. No Steel."
Fantastic campaign and cast, DM
I have never been one to listen/watch other people play D&D, but I really wanted to run the "Curse of Strahd" and wanted to get a good feel for the flow of the game. What started as research has turned into actual enjoyment. Good job guys

Thank you
Aramil to Strahd: Put it down (I almost spit my drink out!)
watching you measure the distance to the tombs mid exposition. laughed out loud instantly.
Kind of spooky when Craig was talking about the Undead´s procession from the graveyard and in Merchant´s background...yeah someone starts walking through the screen :P 1:14:18
I had strahd straigh up kill ismark because that’s a good way to scare everyone
If there's something good, we take it. If it's bad, we hit it and set it on fire.
Always works. HAHAHAHA
A wizard tower, a wizard of wines, the enchantress, and a wizard....
Seems you have lots of Magic in your future.

I love the idea of strahd showing up at the funeral of Ismark and Ireenas fathers funeral. I love the dialogue and description the dm used. Do you think you can share the notes related to this encounter?
Since I saw this video I have used this idea in my own CoS campaigns.
Godfrey and Lok'Kai fill me with so much joy
The DM is very patient. He subtly tries to tell them their ideas will not advance the adventure. Like when they wanted info on the mage and rebellion and to question mad Mary and the crone. The DM just wanted them to leave town and start that bit of the campaign, but they spent 10 minutes fighting his obvious attempts to dissuade them. Then he tries for 10 minutes to get them to go see Madame Ava.
Oh how common this is, the PCs want to explore every bit of minutiae except for the actual adventure path itself. I had always a couple of index cards prepared with 'anytime encounters' for this type of exploring, generally a bit beyond the capabilities of the party but not going to result in a TPK. Either that or the party would find bloody rags and see a discernible set of tracks leading out of town the way they 'needed' to head. Strahd's wolves are good candidates for the tracks, gets the party far enough away to make it a waste to return to Barovia.
I personally don’t like this kind of steering. The players should be able to look into things. And the fact that they keep mentioning the sobbing lady makes players think she is important.
I agree with not steering things for the players. But it is a strange situation where you have characters moving on and players wanting to stay and explore. Once the train started stopping every five seconds is not sensible to the characters. But the players don't think that way. Honestly saying the characters might move on without the players is fair, as events unfold when the players abandon events for other ones. But burying the need to investigate the crying woman or plainly say she doesn't matter I would stop short there for immersion and realism, though the character might yes say she is worthlessly mad and maybe reveal a little if they badly want the help of adventurers
I love listening to d&d games! Its like lisyinging to somone yelling ya a bedtime story!
I love that exotic Australian musical instrument, the "dangery doo". 🤣
I like your set up. Good maps, icons, story, music, player portraits, etc.
Looks like turtle is embracing the gothic feel of the campaign this week with her black outfit and dark lip color. Nice! Loving the campaign so far. Keep it up!
Also I very much appreciate the firelink shrine music as the mood music while you're all in the manor :)
Aramil: do You have any more question?
Party: nhaaaa we are okay
Me: the heck name of the mageeeeee
The DM and the players do an amazing job! It’s especially tough to run a game online, much less with more than 4 players. This CoS play through is a great listen
Godfrey: I take the clap. (roflmao)
I love when turtle's dog comes up for pets
Thanks for the show everyone! Been looking forward to it all week. Very excited!
I think Monty Python summed up Professor Goldspark’s method of fighting perfectly:
RUN AWAY!
Really good show. Great interaction between the cast!
Ooooooh Baby! Here we go again! Im so hyped for this campaign! Please keep up the good work!
Love this serie! I am thinking of dm my own curse of strahd campaign. And this serie helps me to understand the setting and characters so well. Thanks!
S Tier intro
I made some homebrew NPCs of a magical nature, based on Dorian Gray, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Ann Radcliffe and Interview with the Vampire. I kind of missed that a bit but I already love this version of the campaign. A lot. It's the kind of series I'd follow
Strahd Von Zarovich can be killed you have go too the castle during the day, and while in his tomb. You can behead him but you will need the Sun Sword and the Holy Symbol Raven Time in Braovia. You can find it in the game. So far Godfrey is my favorite!!
Craig, while you were doing the reading for the PC's i kept having flashes to the merchant from RE4 lol. You sounded just like him with the laugh. Good stuff. Loving the series so far guys.
About the only thing i can add is it would be a pleasure to share an adventure with this group.
Oh my, I needed this. But what about that Dark Sols?
I just started a campaign with a couple of friends our group consists of me a goliath barbarian there's a dragon born fighter a half elf ranger and a human wizard
Maleekee Williams best of luck!
Friggin love this show. Working on my other half so I can watch it live again. Great work.
#TeamAlwaysTurtle
Godfrey has become the mini hulk
Great show! I enjoy watching while working from home. I love to GM, but Craig is great! Learning so much. Please make more? Also, can you specify what the symbols around the player portraits mean (and the list of ability scores? Thanks.
1:46:47 The. Best. Outburst. Ever.
2:03:39 already accept the fact that your dog's gone, Aramil? Not even bother to check if its his
This was the first and only until now campaign i finished playing and its so good hope you guys enjoy it as much as me
out of curiosity, why don't you use the roll 20 sheet and dice roller?
Also that is a photogenic dog!
A lot of people don't like the Roll20 dice. I have one person in my group who really doesn't trust the dice to act "honestly".
I have no idea what he means by that.
Manster Mash I find the likelihood of digital dice rolling the same number multiple times more likely
I hate Roll20’s dice roller in particular. It just seems to roll in groups, really high for a bit then really low for a longer bit.
Dog there gets my vote for MVP so far!
I hate how obvious it is that Merchant had read the campaign prior to play. I'm enjoying this series so far because I want to run this campaign but Merchant is that dude who bought the module to make sure he knew what was happening at every moment, and it really breaks the immersion.
I want to run the scarecrow encounter in my next Strand session. What’s the shiny red thing and what happens if the party tried to take it?
Great episode so far guys! I'm really enjoying the combat. Where do you source your maps from? They're such high quality!
These maps are the default maps from WotC and published on Roll20. Sometimes Craig uses maps from Gabriel Pickard, available on the Roll20 marketplace (among various places).
@@KyleMaxwell oh are they? Sick I had no idea. I just have the module, I've not been able to run CoS on R20 yet.
Actually I made the graveyard map myself, by reworking Mike Schley's excellent official maps.
@@Bicko_ So you'd recommend the map pack then? Either way it looks really good. Nice work. :)
Can anyone link the first Map @roll20 marketplace?
Praise be to be CnGCraig
I have been waiting impatiently for this >:D!
Loving this! Is that the firelink shrine music I hear in the background??
Important question: Does roll 20 have a premade map set for Curse of Strahd? Because I’m planning to run this, but haven’t decided if I’m person or online.
Awww. No John or Justin this session.
fear not, they'll be back next week!
Where was the map for the graveyard made or found? I am going to run a COS campaign and similarly have a fight there but the strahd they fight and kill will be a spawn under seeming lol. Help for the maps location is appreciated.
Is Turtle purposely looking like a vampire?
I just realised that the profile pic of Strahd looks exactly like Louis Rossmann the apple rehab guy...
Could they have used mage hand to grab the shiny from the scarecrow?
Love the vids Merchant! But I was just wondering if you were going to be doing more Dark Sols in the future. I love both these shows so I just thought I'd ask.
Yes, just been ill & away. There'll be more in the future.
wierd how all of the people in barovia have english accents :)
I died after I got arina to this town BC someone beside the vampire was looking for her
a Zombie gets 3 attacks ? only thing slower than zombies is a Mummy LoL . strange dead skin could hurt metal armor as well.
what software do they use for this?
roll20.net (I assume)
How did you get the graveyard map?
Class
Are you using Discord to run this campaign virtually?
I believe it's Roll20
1:03:00
1:33:00
That ensnaring strike was kinda cheated they do a saving throw on the effect, not only after
Paladin divie smite
Could you leave the "break screen" in next time? It`s a good orientating point in such a long video.
g'dayfff g'devening
Hey Merchant, can you ask craig where he got that cemetery map? I really want it for my playthrough of cos. If anyone knows please let me know.
Looks like the map bundle from Mike Schley, one of the original cartographers for CoS. I've purchased Mike's maps for Lost Mine of Phandelver and they worked great.
@@QuantumMan not the church interior. I want the graveyard area map
@@Ghosts2045 Mike Schley sells a 28-map bundle for CoS. I haven't purchased it but I'm guessing the cemetery is included in this.
@@QuantumMan its not
skipping the Death House and having characters start at level 3 has given the party an unwelcome/unearned confidence in their ability to overcome adversity with strength of arms; 2 players short and 'lets brawl with the castle demon'
this seems incongruent with the horror theme
which kind of began & ended with the gate that closed itself on the road
oooh spoopy
Death House is optional per the actual module.
Favorite Character?.. AlwaysTurtles Dog! ^^
his verbal fk ups at the start would barely get a smile out of me, let alone all the constant over the top laughing........
god forbid they have fun, right
Man I listened to this whole campaign on Spotify and had faces to the voices and I was so off. They all sound way older but look like early 20’s
I’d also love to see these folks play Baldurs gate 3. With AlwaysTurtle being gone it would be perfect (4players)
