The final chapter of Curse of Strahd: Reloaded is now available

I’m excited and honored to announce that the final core release of my guide to running Curse of Strahd, Curse of Strahd: Reloaded, is now available. This release, titled Arc U: Dreams of Dawn, includes:

• The War Council. An invitation to a war council headed by Lady Fiona Wachter,

• The Dream. A tempting—and foreboding—dream sent by the Dark Powers,

• The Siege. A two-pronged siege on Vallaki by the Whispering Wall and an undead incursion,

• The Final Battle. The players’ assault on Castle Ravenloft and final battle with Strahd, and

• The Rising Sun. Barovia’s first sunrise in four hundred years.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to all of the readers and playtesters whose feedback, love, and support have made Curse of Strahd: Reloaded what it is. I could not have done this project without you.

Although Strahd might be dead, I’m not finished with Reloaded yet. Over the summer, I intend to add an epilogue, as well as an additional Act III optional downtime arc titled Arc N: Tales of Vallaki. I also intend to release periodic updates to prior arcs, using what I’ve learned now to fix the design mistakes I’ve made in the past. (I’ll be releasing a post-Reloaded postmortem discussing the lessons I’ve learned in revising it, so keep an eye on your inbox for that.)

My first priority, however, will be transitioning my primary focus away from Barovia and toward other, newer pastures. A full update on my future plans is forthcoming this weekend, as well as a major announcement next Tuesday morning—one that will take the Reloaded project and expand it to far-greater heights.

For now, thank you, as always, to everyone who has supported this project, as well as to my incredible patrons for their support. In particular, thank you to Twi, whose deliberation and creativity made this revision possible; Ziopliukas and Paintknight for their encouragement and support; Cheese and Nancy for their assistance in balancing and playtesting encounters; and Friendly, Faisal, shmamy, yaboicorny, Busdriver, Eliza, and Scarfe for their frequent counsel and feedback. Thank you also to my editor, Maxim, and to Caleb Cleveland and DM Andy for contributing their stunning artwork and battlemaps to Reloaded's pages.

And thank you to all of you—for reading and following this guide to the end.

Cheers,
Dragna
