I'm Making A Tome of Strahd

Post by rpgcasey »

The Building

I bought a 12 x 10-inch drawing notebook.

Page dying with tea and coffee.

Strategic burning for aging.

Adding page markers.

Layer the front cover higher.

Add gold hinges to the cover edges.

Art deco leaf primer, and then gold leafing around the raised edges on cover.

Gold edging.

Marauder's map style fold out pages.

Page pockets.

Letters added into book.



The Lore

Info from I, Strahd.

Strahd's spells.

Lore about Strahd's history, motivations, etc.




What else should I do with it?

What other lore or info should I add?

You should take pictures and show us!

... And maybe add some pictures of Tatyana, and journal notes on his studies of the Mists and his enemies.

Comments added in the margin when Van Richten had access to the book :)
"A full set of (game) rules is so massively complicated that the only time they were all bound together in a single volume, they underwent gravitational collapse and became a black hole" (Adams)

Frustrated mentions of the man who keeps wandering in, lost, and somehow manages to keep walking out again... :wink:
