Yup, the secret doors are still there in the revamped version. ![]() My problem with this map in the original product was that the castle map showed the secret doors, which means that you can't even show this thing to the players (though that would be hard to do anyway, without revealing the whole castle to them). One side has the map of Barovia, and the other has that isometric map of Castle Ravenloft. Poster Map: The poster map paper is heavier and very glossy. They should have each been on their own page. Kolyan's Letter and Strahd's Invitation are on the same page. And if one of them is reading the handout and everybody else is playing, now you've lost the attention of a player. Also, giving players a huge handout at the table. The handwriting is a bit hard to read, but maybe that's just me. Handouts: The 4 handouts are on really nice, heavy cardstock. That's Tasha's Cauldron of Everything next to it, for scale. I'm sorry everybody, I only had a potato to take product photos with.įirst off. Is Curse of Strahd Revamped a flimsy cash grab? Is wizards trying to fleece you and I by putting out the same product with one tiny little change, like when Malibu Stacy got a new hat? So yeah, I needed to buy this box and see. The magic tattoos alone made the book worth it to me, alongside the depictions of Tasha's life. I actually liked the player stuff in that book, and usually I don't care about player stuff at all. I understand that most of the content was already public as a playtest, so there weren't many surprises in the book, but that doesn't make it a bad book, does it? Am I wrong? Is there something about Tasha's that I missed? I noticed that while I wrote a pretty glowing review of Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, people on reddit seem to hate that book. Is this just another case of internet over-reaction? Is this product really bad? People seemed to be pretty angry about this boxed set. Negative Reviews? While gazing at the amazon entry, I read the reviews. I sort of feel like buying one copy is the least I could do, after all that wizards (and you) did for me. It's $70 on amazon, which is a lot of money, but not too outrageous. Plunk down my hard-earned money!Ĭurse of Strahd did so much for me, how could I not review this thing? Where would I be without Curse of Strahd?! I should buy two of them! I thought about it for a few days, and I realized that I needed to buy this thing. I didn't get the Stranger Things box.Īnd they did not send me Curse of Strahd Revamped. I don't get minis, I don't get the Beadle and Grimm mega-deluxe products. Wizards doesn't send me all of their products, though. With their support, and especially the support of all of you who to this day buy my stuff on the DMs Guild in great amounts, my literal job in life is to write about D&D. Heck, I even got a Christmas card from them! I am a lucky guy. To this day, they still send stuff to me. Once that contract finished, wizards started sending me free products for my blog reviews. I was now getting paid for writing about D&D! ![]() Those articles led to a number of opportunities, and ultimately got me a contract with wizards of the coast to work on some web-related stuff. Ridiculous, massive articles about running Strahd, the Strahd prequels, and a Guide to Strahd.Ĭhris Perkins started running a Curse of Strahd campaign online, which I covered on this blog. I wrote articles that I now have no recollection of writing whatsoever. ![]() While I personally wasn't that thrilled with the idea of yet another remake of the original Ravenloft adventure, I was 100% up for writing about it. When the adventure first came out, I was in a good zone - mentally ready to dig in to a Chris Perkins adventure and really peel it apart. Tremendous! On the flip side of this giant, coffin-shaped card, is Strahd's stat block.Ĭurse of Strahd did a lot for me, personally. When you first open the box, which is shaped like a coffin, you see an insert that looks like this: Look at the many complaints found on amazon reviews and see if they have any merit.Review the product, look for changes in the text.Talk about the impact Curse of Strahd had on me.Today we are going to review Curse of Strahd Revamped! This gigantic product is a deluxe version of the mega-popular Curse of Strahd adventure.
