Description
Hopefully an enjoyable adaptation of the work of Tracy and Laura Hickman and their epic adventure Ravenloft published by TSR in 1982.
After traversing a treacherous mountin pass, your party emerges into the land of Barovia where an ancient evil strangles the land and its people. You discover a plea for help in the belongings of dead adventurers which leads you down the path to confront and eliminate the ancient vampire, Strahd Von Zarovich.

Just finished it, definitely enjoyed it and Strahd did indeed appear despite the journal bug.


Spoilers


Strahd appeared in his tomb and immediately resurrected upon death, but didnt rejoin the battle. I'm wondering if this is a bug to do with the journal entry bug I've mentioned.


Another bug was that I killed the vampire wife before speaking with the accountant, and had no way to inform him of her demise. I had to reload, speak to him first, and then go kill the vampire wife.

As soon as we got into the castle we got "Strahd has been defeated, now he must be destroyed" as a quest update. So, seconding Jorks issue.

Why is this happening?

Where do you find the Sunsword? I think I've explored the whole castle, found multiple hidden doors, searched Sergi's tomb, etc. but the quest hasn't been ticked yet and I can't enter what I assume is Strahd's tomb.

@Geek_Haven No, it does not have the Curse of Strahd content. This is a recreation of the first Ravenloft adventure that started the franchise from which Curse of Strahd later branched off. It consists of the settings for the Village of Barovia and Castle Ravenloft itself.

It does however add some content from the book I Strahd: The Memoirs of a Vampire by P.N. Elrod regarding the story lines surrounding the wedding of Tatyana and Sergi and the murder of the later by Strahd himself to seal his pact with death and become the Vampyre.

@tcpipnut Good suggestion on identifying the stairs - however I didn't want to leave an air of mystery about them. As my DM used to say when we would ask question such "where do these stairs go?". Aside from the 'famous' line from Bill Murray as Dr. Peter Venkman in the first Ghostbusters movie "They go up", he would generally retort with "who are you asking?? The walls?"
All that to say - the characters wouldn't know where the stairs are going other than up or down

@Roger Moore (a.k.a. 007)

I honestly don't know what items/mobs came from which expansions as I don't recall them being identified by expansion in the selection gallery windows. I grabbed what I liked the look of without consideration of which expansion it may have come, but that turned out to bite me when trying to publish and accurately determine what expansions were required. Not sure what happens if you try to play it without...<crosses fingers>

@Geek_Haven but curse of strahd is a "remaster" if the original i7 adventure... no? XD

Hi, just wanted to check. Does this module contain everything from Curse of Strahd module? That is Death House, Amber Temple, That yaga swamp village, that abbey in mountain with mutated humans, and that town with silly ''happy'' celebrations? or just particular parts of that module?

First off, excellent mod. I have had a lot of fun playing through it, and it was lovely exploring something so familiar in Solasta's engine.

Unfortunately, I have encountered an issue at the final hurdle that has prevented me from confronting Strahd in his tomb after the text-cutscene with the Icon where it glows and opens the door. Trying to open the door simply gives me a message telling me it cannot be opened. I also note that my quest log says "Strahd has been defeated, now he must be destroyed" despite my party never having battled him.

I'm conscious that the issue might be something on my end given that no-one else has reported it, but I thought I should at least post anyway.

Thanks for the awesome module. I loved it! I could have leveled to 8 at the end but I was busy in the final battle. Advancing time to night with short rests worked well to help set the atmosphere. All the stairs were a bit confusing. My only suggestion would be to label them with their destination instead of up/down XX feet. I don't know if that's possible but it would have helped me not feel lost. Maybe I was supposed to feel lost.
