#CURSE OF STRAHD SETTING MOVIE#
It’s one thing to watch a horror movie but it’s another when we can control the horror ourselves. I'd say that the easiest thing would be to provide a few subclasses, including a re-flavor of the College of Whispers for Bards (which comes very close to feeling like a psionic class).By: Areese Woodson How do you play TTRPG horror game ‘Curse of Strahd’? Psionics are the hardest part, and WotC still doesn't have a set of rules that has wowed the UA readers. Templars could be simulated using a Sorcerer King Pact for Warlocks, an Oath of Servitude for Paladins (and add a Background for other classes to be Templars). Goliaths can still stand in for Half-Giants, but there would still need to be rules for Thri-Kreen and Muls, and probably subraces for Halflings, Dwarves and Elves. As it is, it would require some added player options. It could hit most of the highlights of Dark Sun, and if it sold well enough, would hopefully get expanded into a new campaign setting. High level finds the party racing to some famous locales to gather up some macguffins to help them fight the Dragon, who is the final boss of the campaign. At mid-level Tyr fights off an attack by another city-state. There are a few adventures where the party help one group or another, including the former Templars, the Veiled Alliance, etc. The slave rebellion rises up, and Kalak is dead by the time the party are 3rd level.
The PCs start as enslaved would-be gladiators in Tyr, meeting some of the NPCs that will be important later (like that Gladiator, and that other Gladiator).
I think that Dark Sun is probably the simplest. So, I was thinking about what a CoS treatment for other settings might look like.
