Mystara's Night of the Vampire

Hello,

Browsing through the web and looking for some fine D&D, I stumbled over this resource...

http://home.flash.net/~brenfrow/ms/ms-night.htm

Sounds a bit like *preventing Strahd from killing his family*.

Is this any good? - Can it be used in RL in a proper way, maybe in the way I am thinking of?

Yours,

Rafael

I think I may have this one somewhere, though I haven't run it. If I'm right, this is one of TSR's old cd-series, like Ravenloft: A Light in the Belfry (sp?). It has an audio compact disc which narrates what the characters see and hear (but no transcript, which makes adapting the adventure a bit of a pain).

Yeah, that's the one.

No transcript booklet?! - Then this adventure is basically worthless for a non-English group like mine...

Thank you for the info! Saved me a lot of cash, I think.

I have this in my collection. I looked it over last night, as it had been a long time since I had last read it. It seems that all the basics are there in the adventure, it was all atmosphere & effects on the CD. No, the transcript isn't included, but the general points are.
Basically, PCs are shipwrecked (why would PCs EVER travel by boat???) and arrive at a country manor in time for a wedding party. They will be involved in a duel, a murder, an assassination attempt, and the return of an ancient ancestor/vampire posing as a distant relative who decides to claim the bride as his own. The module does attempt to limit the amount of magic items available, and heavy armor & weapons are considered inappropriate at the wedding party, tournament, and masquerade ball.
With a few tweaks, this could easily be turned into a fairly typical Ravenloft vampire encounter adventure.

I can really see me running a campaign like that... Maybe beginning with my favourite adventure, N4: Treasure Hunt, and then letting them experience that cursed wedding... But for RL, it doesn't really sound like if it would fit into the core... Maybe Darkon, but... Aaah, this is a pure Known World adventure!
