Lilissen?? I'm really curious to see how that plays out

Dammit, my ship sunk, lmao.

Aww, the burden of a historian moment between Aerthrandir and Lilissen just hurt my heart. He is taking on that burden and it's a noble sacrifice in a lot of ways. I still can't help but ship those two, lmao.

I feel like I missed something with Metrion saying Lillisan feels "cold." I remember his mission and all, I just wonder if I spaced out about something else. But great episode. It will be nice to see Aerthrandr relax and geek out for a bit. The guy has been so wound up, trying to be the responsible one for the party for a long time. He needs a breather like this.

1:21:36 My lil shipper's heart can't help itself with this ❤ 4:04:00. I'm freaking dying laughing rn, lmao. Personally, I've always had dms rule better acrobatics could save you some damage from falling based on distance and the roll (usually dc at just what felt right)

Man i wish my players would RP like this. Any DM's out there wanna play in CoS? Ill dm for ya. Middle Tennessee area.

Intense later half, good session!

I find the casts inability to stick to a point of view unbearable. The swap between third person and talking about their player, to them talking as their player is nearly seamless. It can be the same person talking, “metrion does this… wow that’s a great introduction you had!”… same sequence of sentences, swapping between 3rd person and 1st person like it’s nothing. I slogged through nearly half of the first episode but I can’t continue, it’s unbearable and terribly incoherent

Why is Caoimhe like SO into Irena? They've barely interacted and she's acting like its been this long term near romance that is so very deep instead of very superficial interest. She's acting like she's been in love with her forever instead of only knowing her for a few days and just an earnest crush... there is this deep intensity she is trying for and i just don't get it? Did i miss something important?? I don't mean this as a bash to the player btw, I'm asking genuinely if i misunderstood something or if it's meant to be a flaw in the character.

was looking at the character sheets. Curious why Lilissen would dump Con of all things. Seems odd

The more i watch, the more i dislike Amity (the character, not player). She tries to be friendly yet has zero qualms with leaving others to die if it means she is safe. The others at least have guilt when forced to.

Is heavy sigh a claw they rolled or are they asmatics. I like it, sigh. They have good idea, sigh.

I can't be the only one shipping Aerthrandir and Lilissen, right? The two awkward introverts

Damn... I really am disappointed Amity didn't try and help the bear. Idk why, it just bothered me a lot.

I should relisten to this. I’m starting a new CoS game soon (which was why I first listened to it) and I tend to run pretty close to RAW, so it’s great inspiration as well as having great players and a great DM.

I too have used the pillow wall in dnd, lmao. But my pc was a changling in a male form, but her natural state was female (we tweaked changling slightly). I had the whole party thinking i made a flamboyantly gay male human because she is also naturally very affectionate and touchy feely, so she was hanging on everyone's arms and hugging everyone 😂 In her male form she was always blushing at the cruder guy talk or when one of the party started to change before bed and he would build the pillow wall when having to sleep really close to someone.

That ending!!! Jeez

I keep hoping... you... (sigh).... wil realize that... (sigh).... (long pause)... your pauses and... sighing... (sigh)... is annoying... a.... f.... Was gonna keep pushing through but this crap is over rated.

Blah blah blah roll play, blah blah character flaws, a group that doesn't want to do anything but insult and argue about everything is hard to watch.. imo great players, but some of the pcs are better off being left a village somewhere. "Questing is for people with no life" fine then become an npc.

Death house is such bs as written.

I think i missed something... Even on open ground, the party should be able to easily out pace the mound. As a large creature, its speed should be halved as it squeezes through the narrow halls. The party should have been able to kite it incredibly well. Of course, if they had just sacrificed the PET PIG...

1:52:00 Did the players say why they liked this so much from you @Dragnacarta ?

I'm getting serious jonesy vibes from truffles.

As soon as she said “sickly green light”, I was like “did Lilicen just cast freaking Avada Kedavra?”

I'm running Curse of Strahd for the first time with a group that has never played this one before. A few sessions in and they have already heard plenty about Strahd and and are starting to get paranoid about how powerful he really is. They have no idea about this part, getting to meet him so early in the story where he could easily curb stomp them all. I am so excited, especially for the rookie vampire hunter that has been talking smack all the while.

I'm just starting and as some aleady said in the comments, I'm already so hooked!❤ I love the party... Everyone's voices or ways of speaking is really soothing to me. I love the ambiance... Dagnacarta, thank you for your guides and posts on reddit, you're really helping me run the module ❤(I'm currently 6 sessions in) I'll really listen to the full campaign and it's a rare thing, can't really stay focused long enough, but here, I feel like it's really comfy❤

Lillisen is a rogue?!

Chad DM

I have never in my life seen people struggle so hard with that armor.

Can anyone explain these dreams Amity has? Why is she getting these? Why do they seem to forwshadow?

Truffle is a gem. I hope nothing bad happens to the little guy.

Everyone is a coward, has deep psychological scarring or a mix of the two. Glad you went by the rules but the characters are almost unbearable to listen to.

I really hope you guys are amazing voice actors and nothing like these people in real life but why play characters that are annoyingly whiniey and scared of everything.

Does anyone know what the lingering table is that they used?

Didn't know elves were immune to ghoul claws. That's nifty!

Will Dragna be running another CoS DnD session??

Here in 2024 just now beginning this series after running this module last year.

Jake pulling one of those educational endings some 90's cartoon use to have

I’m incredibly late to the party, but I wanted to say I adore this so far. Aerthrandir and Metrion especially. Im watching in preparation for running CoS myself soon and it’s been both helpful and entertaining :)

Great job to all!

A southern gothic reskin? Point me in the direction.

wonderful work on the twice bitten cast and workers. this came out amazing and it's awesome to see a "by the book" run of this. simply amazing work from everyone.

It is now canon that Ismark's meat is delicious

Who is the Wounded One talking to Metrion in his dream?

Loving this so far, started running the COS bc of this so TY.

I'm from England and Metrion sounds exactly like my old Maths teacher Mr. Taylor 😅 but seriously, absolutely loved this and can't wait to watch the rest, well done all of you! Regards from Danny in sunny Yorkshire, England 👍

It's December 31, 2023 and I am VERRRYYYY late to the party on this. I decided that one of my DM goals would be to run a Curse of Strahd campaign or something similar for some friends but I wanted to see how other DMs ran it beforehand. Love the first episode already.

Loving the series! I put it on while I’m working on my prepwork for my own CoS game. I do wonder how everyone rolled up their characters (rolling, point buy, or array)

I have tried several times to get into critical role with no success. This though? I'm already hooked

Ok but you spent literally 3 or 4 or 5 episodes in that house. That's where you lost me when I wanted to love this
