I've found that CoS works best as a springboard to a certain level of DM invention. Plus, ghouls are actually intelligent creatures! They were hiding in concealed spaces for probably months or years, just waiting for some hapless wanderers to come along. I know it's bad form to compare D&D to videogames, but these monsters spawned in like it was Ninja Gaiden on the SNES or something. The DM even showed us the text in the book afterwards when we questioned him about it. And in the cellar there were these ghouls which literally pop out of the ground or out of the walls. There was this little mini-dungeon at the start, a haunted house of some sort. But for us, it was not a good first few sessions. And maybe there were some super valid explanations which our DM happened to miss. I mean, maybe the adventure gets really good later on. If the people are that stupid and passive I'm not invested in their salvation. So we said, fuck this let's try the new edition of Legends of the Five Rings. So there's a vampire who hasn't had any blood for over a year and somehow he's still active? I Guess?Īnd just to double check: this church is still active and they do funerals and weddings and shit, except there's been non-stop shrieking for over a year? Well. And he screamed out in agony all day, every day. Turns out the priest's son had been turned into a vampire of some sort. Later, we got to the church and from the cellar we could hear someone screaming in agony, yelling they were so hungry. Me: "What do fuck do you eat and drink here anyway? It's not like you've got a fridge and tapwater."

If you miss your daughter so much, why did you take steps to ensure she couldn't return?" Me: "This house is boarded up from the inside. Me: "So why'd you board up your house then?" We got her to explain troubles: her daughter had run off in the middle of the night a few days ago! Oh, how she misses her daughter! Please come back to me, my daughter! Why? Why?! Figuring someone was in distress, we broke in and met an old wailing woman. In the town of Barovia, we wandered the street and heard sobbing from a boarded-up house. We couldn't get far into CoS because we kept running into real dumb stuff which completely killed the mood for us. Well I know this is going to be unpopular, but.
