Really enjoyed last night's AMA / "Let's Chat Ravenloft" livestream. Thanks to everyone who came. You can watch it back here: youtube.com/live/RNzHfnQ... - If I get chance I'll timestamp the questions, like last time. I might do another one when Ravenloft: The Horrors Within comes out. #Ravenloft
Going live in 10-ish mins! #Ravenloft #CurseofStrahd www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNzH...
HarmonQuest* (my bad).
Same.
Couldn’t decide what to watch tonight - so I’ve restarted Harmonquest.
Happening tomorrow (Saturday)! 😁
Indeed! I was considering buying that (BoH) but guess I don’t need to now.
I think it’s in some sales as standard, but you can opt in (or maybe opt out - I forget which) to bigger/wider sales like this. No, I don’t get informed (it’s a surprise every time 😅) but I think they do have a sales calendar published somewhere, so I can see what’s coming up if I wanted to.
Update! Just found this: www.reddit.com/r/dungeonsof... - I think I’m sold.
That’s ok! Always on the lookout for monster source suggestions - especially when they’re on D&D Beyond and it’s like 100s for a decent price. I’ll look into CM (I’ve heard good things about it already). Cheers!
Do I know anyone who's got Monsters of Drakkenheim? Considering getting it on D&D Beyond but struggling to find reviews of / recommendations for it.
Looks like @dmsguild.com is running a sale at the moment, and one of my resources - The Second Tarokka Reading - is discounted. $2.99 instead of $4.99. Applies Curse of Strahd's tarokka reading to a wider Ravenloft campaign (cards lead to different Domains of Dread): www.dmsguild.com/en/product/4...
Two years ago... 🌫️ If you're starting Curse of Strahd at a higher level than intended (e.g. following something like Lost Mine of Phandelver or Waterdeep: Dragon Heist), then here's some guidance on what to do/change to compensate… 💪 #CurseofStrahd www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4cE...
Wake up babe new Strahd art (Strahrt?) just dropped. 🧛🏻 #Strahd #Ravenloft (In all seriousness it's great.)
It's #WorldBookDay I should probably mention that I've written two epic fantasy novels and a business self-help book for freelancers (because goodness knows I don't shout about them much or enough)... 😅

Preparing Tergeron Manor encounters but upscaling them for my higher-level PCs. Fun fact: if they were to trigger & fight every monster, it'd work out to about 5x their daily XP budget… 😱 And that doesn't factor in traps, environmental hazards, etc. either… 🫣😬
Oh and the webcam and sound quality is MUCH better with my new webcam/mic setup (I tested it earlier) - so it'll be so much better than October's livestream in that regard.
I've created a page ahead of Saturday's livestream/AMA: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNzH... - You can get YouTube to notify you for when I'm live. See you there hopefully! LOTS to chat about, given yesterday's news...
🌫️🤩🌫️
Oh yeah! I remember you telling me. How's that going? Sounds like it's going well?
IKR?! 😀 Same! 😁
This comes out a couple of days away from my birthday. Happy birthday to me, I guess. 🥳
Just uploaded my Tergeron Manor maps to the Ravenloft subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/ravenloft/... - Grid & gridless options available.
OHHHH! 🍷🧛
One year ago... 🌫️ All about the Ravenloft "Mist Wanderer" NPCs Alanik Ray & Dr Arthur Sedgwick - Ravenloft's answer to Sherlock Holmes & Watson! 🕵️ Resources, art, stat blocks, magic item suggestions + more! #Ravenloft www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YTe...
Finished off the Tergeron Manor maps today! I’ll post on r/ravenloft sometime tomorrow. Grid & gridless versions of all floors. It’s not perfect (I’m a hobbyist, not a professional), but it’ll be the first publicly available top-down version of the map - it does the job, I feel. 🗺️
New DM of the Mists video! 🌫 An overview of Endless Quest: Escape From Castle Ravenloft, an official D&D gamebook tied to Curse of Strahd. I talk about what flavor you can dig out of it for if you're running CoS or Strahd Must Die Tonight… 🧛🏻🏰🏃➡️ #CurseofStrahd #Strahd www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHQ-...
Update: 5 rooms left to do, across 3 floors. Should have it done in the next week or so. It's been hard work though... 😩 Hope it helps other DMs in the future.
Ooo I got a shout-out in a Patreon post by mapmakers The MAD Cartographer, as I showcased their maps in one of my recent videos (How I Ran Hazlan Part 2). Thanks guys! 😁 www.patreon.com/posts/state-...
