CONFIRMED: Ravenloft for 5th Edition

[alhoon]

Wait what? Ken of Gastria wrote #6? Can you get him here to confirm it? That's very good news. It proves that FoS has got at least part of the recognition it deserves.

[Ken of Ghastria]

Yes, that's me! As I've told Gonzoron privately earlier today, I'm severely limited in what I can disclose at the moment, but I can repeat or possibly clarify a few points that Chris Perkins and others have made.

Caveat #1: I am but a lowly freelancer, with no insight into WotC's grand plans (or even their minor ones).

Caveat #2: Any info I can provide is limited to the storyline for the Adventurers League modules. I unfortunately know as little as the rest of you about the Curse of Strahd sourcebook.

I'm very psyched, though.

That is still awesome! (I totally did not search you through this board, did not visit your old blog website which hasn't been updated in a long time, and totally wasn't book marking one of the campaigns you were in here awhile ago to read through.)

And on that note. !!!!! Psyched!

OK, so what can anyone tell me about this thing:

Launch Event: Stores will receive a free PDF of Death House, a location based adventure that is designed to take 12-16 hours of in store play. This PDF can be run anytime after the start of the Curse of Strahd season.

Death House is the name given to an old row house in the village of Barovia. The house has been burned to the ground many times, only to rise from the ashes time and again-by its own will or that of Strahd. Locals give the building a wide berth for fear of antagonizing the evil spirits believed to haunt it. Celebrate Season 4 with this special event written specifically for the launch of our latest D&D season.

?

It seems it will only be going to stores... but as a pdf... so how can I get my hands on it? And what are WPN stores? I tried to find a store locator at wizards.com, but could only find one for MTG.

I kinda of want this PDF as well. If you get your hands on it and if it is OK to share I wouldn't mind a copy as well.

Wow, I have a stalker! Thanks! Yeahhhhh, my blog has gathered more dust than a Manimal convention. I've got to get back to posting on a regular basis.

And I've been in some great campaigns here...

[Zilfer]

So when you say you can only discuss adventure league modules storylines does that include the one you worked on/are working on? I'm afraid I don't know if it means you are in progress or if it is already completed. xD

[Ken of Ghastria]

I'm finishing it up this week. The different stories this season are much more interconnected than those in previous Adventurers League seasons ... at least that's the plan.

[Zilfer]

That's cool, so they generally all point towards the same direction? I forget if we had the synopsis, but these are sort of "companion" adventures to the main book is that right?

[Ken of Ghastria]

Well, I can't say how much the Adventurers League season lines up with the main book (since I don't know what it's in it). The adventures focus on a mega-plot that ties indirectly to Strahd's machinations.

Is that vague enough? I really wish I could answer your question fully, but Vlad Drakov's hunters (subcontracted to Wizards) will be on me within moments if I... OH NO, they've got the scent! They're coming! I... AIEEEEE!

I see. So it basically fits in with "Strahd's plan" then. Alright, don't want you to run into that Geas that Azalin put on you when he rewrote your... i mean. Yeah, copy right and all that jazz. Lawyers... sure that's the worst that could come your way.

[alhoon]

Darklords are not cruel enough to use lawyers. That evil is for corporations.

[Ken of Ghastria]

Hey, all, there's a new ep of the Tome Show podcast with some official info about the "Curse of Strahd" season of D&D Adventurers League:
http://www.thetomeshow.com/e/round-tabl ... of-demons/

It may answer some questions. If it creates MORE questions, I'll try to answer as best as I'm able.

[alhoon]

Meh, not a native speaker. While I can understand written English well, I'm not good with understanding them spoken. Can someone surmise the podcast?
