Welcome back, we have all been waiting for this bad boy.

[@nomadjensen8276]

This is fantastic, i love the ravenloft setting and listening to your Barovia guide is really awesome to just listen to even for people who arent DMs or running a campaign. I remeber when part 1came out several years ago it was great fun to listen to at work. Glad to see many more full length parts to listen to.

[@josurecio5945]

Thanks for the effort, this kind of videos can't be easy to make.

[@NoFoxGiven247]

I've been running CoS for the first time and I find your videos extremely useful. Thank you.

[@evanbryant9196]

I'm starting this campaign for October, and these are immeasurable in their value. I'm able to listen to these at work, thank you sir.

[@Lcirex]

Thanks for the vid. And nice to see you again.

[@CBeach-vy2xc]

Thank you for making these videos. I'm a brand new DM, and I may have bitten off more than I can chew trying to run Strahd as my very first campaign.... but these videos are helping my anxiety. I really feel I have a better grasp of the setting and inter-relationships between NPCs after watching these videos than I did from just looking through the book. My session zero with the players is in a week (early May of 2021); wish me luck! (And if anyone in comments has any tips for me, that would be welcome!)

[@Nubbletech]

How did it go?

[@CBeach-vy2xc]

@@Nubbletech They're at fifth level, they completely noped out of most of the Vallaki plotlines (they were creeped out by the Festival of the Burning Sun and fled Vallaki before it happened) so now I have to figure out what's going on in Valleki during their absence.... They're clearing out the druids (which I called "wild men" because they've got a druid and I didn't want the confusion) from the WIzard of Wines right now.

[@richardknight8338]

It seems your comment is blessed. Curious about an update on how this game is going. lol. I imagine theyve seen some crap by now and feel silly running from Blazing Sun.

[@SubTactHiphop]

@@CBeach-vy2xc this is amazing any update?

[@jaredlocke4300]

I hope it went well! I've been DMing for 6 years and I still feel overwhelmed lol. These videos have been invaluable

[@ignidraws5364]

Commenting for the algorithm cuz you deserve it

[@randomsleepyness]

These have been phenomenal so far, looking forward to listening to this one. Thank you for all your hard work!

[@MorriSimRacing]

This has truly made my day seeing this done. Thank you thank you thank you. Whoever you are Mr Pocket GM. You’re the best.

[@nicholasmcmahan-watson9405]

I would love to hear Waterdeep dragon heist from you! your telling of Curse of Strad makes the relationships and places in Barovia stay in my brain! I was just so confused by reading it. CURSE YOU DYSLEXIA!!!!! From the bottom of my heart, Thank you.

[@tonyr.546]

Thank you for doing these videos! I get an awful lot out of listening to them. Your work must be hard but it is greatly appreciated.

[@TheNomad360]

These videos have saved my Curse of Strahd games, thank you!

[@garwynrosser8907]

A tip for how to use the missing "third gem". Have it pass through the hands of all the key players at some point prior to the arrival of the "players". So one person traded to X and then X traded it to Y for something. Etc. This way it becomes a bit of a mystery that players can track back to the original theif and it can also be a "pass the parcel" game to track it down by narratively engaging with most of the big players. I usually have three major outcomes, the mad mage, baba lysaga or the "original" theif still has it and trying to pawn it off to the old hags for dream bread.

[@johndavid2290]

Thanks for all the content and please keep them coming.

[@GelatinousGesticulation]

Great work and thanks so much for the videos! My only two cents is that it seems a little quiet at max volume but I am listening to it while machining at work lol.

[@markwalker4485]

This module was a pain for me. The breaking of the gazebo was east. But to rebuild it was titanic! We had to make a new adventure just for the gazebo. Try getting a man that never seen wood actually make something from wood was a real game in its self. There is so much you can do with Raven Loft

[@dragonballtalk8527]

Make more long videos of this nature we need it. Touch the ball and see it all

[@sullytorres4749]

Thank you so much! You are so helpful! I am turning my commute to work into game prep thanks to your efforts! Greatly appreciated 👍👍👍

[@cwesley2005]

Your DM guides are the absolute best! Thank you!!!

[@Lighto17]

OMG you sir are so on time kudos for the Diablo track!

[@AaronMurphyTBone]

You're the best mate. Really helpful to be able to just hear this to get it to sit better in your head.

[@Accultus]

These are fantastic. I'm currently running Strahd for some buddies. I can't wait for Part 4! Keep up the good work my dude!

[@KaolaRivas]

Thank you so much for making this!! It makes it easier to me to create a campaign, learn and work at the same time.

[@str1ky]

Perfect timing! I will start DMing CoS in about 2 weeks! I started prepping and watched your other 2 videos to do so. This is perfect to finish everything up!

[@Grimlore82]

Oh my god you are back!!!! Hell yeah!!

[@joshschroeder4582]

What a saint you are, my good man.

[@bjarturbirkiss5485]

Awesome to have you back and thank you for this. I'm glad too tell you that I'm listening too this with my beautiful little girl💕

[@ig_9981]

These videos have helped me so much in running my Curse of Strahd campaign! Thank you so much for your hard work, it’s much appreciated!

[@Gojoseon]

You’re back! Welcome back!

[@vicnedel02]

I appreciate these videos.

[@Mr._Dingo]

[@stevemoreso5610]

[@destructiveoverlord2663]

[@linuskentr]

[@joelhubbard8746]

[@joaob1736]

Thanks for comming back! This work is amazing!

[@robertpedersen7136]

The legend is back!

[@KakoriGames]

"Are you looking to run Curse Of Strahd as a Dungeon Master?" Actually, no, I'm not, but the setting is so interesting and these videos are so chill, I love watching them before bed.

[@unichromeirl4453]

Thanks for the new release look forward to going through it

[@jordanmarciniak1133]

OH MY GOSH THANK YOU 😭😭😭 I have been waiting for this so that I can feel more comfortable running this campaign 👏🎉🤩👏🤩👏🎉🤩👏🎉🤩

[@obedmeneses2311]

You're back! Just as the prophecy for told

[@boldnotbald3705]

I really like this podcastlike readings of the book, and for these I thank you, but please, next time say krezk not kresek, and Vallaki not Wallakay. It ruins the rest of the experience.
