Indeed. His theme (that motif) is featured throughout the piece in one variation or another. It's in ALOT of pieces that have his influence in the story behind whosoevers track it is. The same with Ireenas Theme, and a few others - reoccurring elements that tie in the pieces like a film score. Atleast, that's my intent and hope.

Thank you so much for listening :)

It was indeed heavily modified. A notes video for the campaign is on the pipeline (unfortunetly near the back of it) due to the amount of creative outlets and projects I have going on. Is there a topic in particular you'd like me to discuss?

​@@MerlinCGBroadway Nothing specific to make mention of, but as this is my first time DMing a full campaign, any suggestions would be appreciated! I found that modifying the Death House made it much more enjoyable for my players, so I am on the lookout for any information that could help me do the same with CoS. For example, I've heard starting the adventure in Krezk vs. Barovia Village creates a smoother story progression. I kind of currently have my eyes and ears open for little tips like that as I'm prepping, so if you have anything to add, I would love to know. Meanwhile, I'll subscribe and look forward to your notes video. Thanks! (Edit: By the way, did you write the quotes in the descriptions yourself? Honestly, they are so good.)

@@DMofBriseras yes, they're all quotes from NPCs and things from my game.

I'd say the biggest changes I made were to Strahd and his backstory. Definetly leaned heavily into the tragic villain. My advise for people running this game would be to really study your strahd. Really know what makes him tick and have him show up constantly. Not necessarily to fight. In my game, Strahd was tied to the fate of the dread plane. And the centre of the wheel he described it, and heavily implied that he was well aware of the circle of torment he was subjected to. (Alot of Soul Reaver/Legacy of Kain influence in my game) He viewed the players characters as his chance to attain free will, they were free from the spokes of fate and thus could be key in ending his cycle. With that in mind he would constantly test them, or manipulate them in such a way to further goals that he knew would fail if he were to chase them. So yeah cool changes like that that change how people are. TLDR: Focus on your Strahd and use him often to guide the story to further his goals.

​@@MerlinCGBroadway I am definitely struggling a bit with Strahd's motivations and character development (one could take it in so many directions) but I really like the idea of making the characters sort of his beacon of hope, rather than just his playthings. Seems like it would encourage more dynamic interactions between him and the players, and I like the idea of giving Strahd a bit of desperation to cripple his pride....(would even provide some motivation to unhinge him should they refuse to assist or fail to be of use). I can feel the gears turning in my brain.....thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it.

Hmm. Odd. Works for people I've sent it to. It's Merlin C G Broadway :)

Not yet. I'm still, in between other things, in the process of figuring the publication process out. Thank you for listening! :D

I'm trying to find a distributor that agrees with me for spotift and other services, until then, the tracks will remain on youtube. Thanks for listening!

Send me an email, that's probably the best way. Thanks for listening!

Thank you so much for joining us on our journey :D

@@MerlinCGBroadway NP

Apologies for that. Must have missed that in the edit :( Thanks for listening :D

Thanks!

Hope you like it!

Thanks for the support!

Thank you so much! Strahd (especially my interpretation I feel) truly is a tragic character. I'm glad you like it!

@@MerlinCGBroadway Love him as you have no idea, maybe try to learn the song

@@Dusty_evsky might I suggest checking out another piece of mine. My personal favourite, that I think really describes the tragedy of Ireena Kolyana and her link to Strahd, which can hear as their themes combat eachother and intertwine. I think you'd really enjoy it.

@@MerlinCGBroadwayI would appreciate the suggestion (sorry if I'm wrong, English is not my native language) I really think I'll try to try the game, really the melodies are so appealing that I could spend hours and hours listening to them. If this video increases views it is my fault.

Remember that Strahd only became a vampire because Tatyana, a woman whose land he invaded, rejected him, and his whole curse is that he simply won't accept the fact that she doesn't love him.

My plan for Spotify is to upload them when I feel more comfortable with the amount of tracks I have produced as it will be more cost effective to upload them in batch rather than piecemeal. Having to pay out to add new tracks over and over will cost me a small fortune.

Glad you enjoy it!

I've noticed that on a few of my other works too. I guess you can't please everyone.

Its the lead into another piece I have ok mind. Watch this space
