My players found the Tome at Madam Eva’s, so very early in the game. So, material from these sources won’t be in this guide. I am not well versed in Ravenloft Lore and I haven’t read I, Strahd. Eventually, he grew out of the new for approval from his father, but not before it was “too late”.
Because of this, Strahd “wasted” his youth on conquering and conquest. I would suggest maybe have King Barov be an overbearing father, with expectations that are too high for any one child to achieve. But this is Strahd presenting his own story to the players. I would still give him something in addition to the love triangle that is driving him, something to make him more sympathetic to the players. Once he is married, he could take everything she had fought for from her. This is because Sergei is a constant threat to her own power and claim to the throne. In addition to being jealous of Sergei and Tatyana for their youth and their love, my Strahd also fears them. However, this quickly rippled outward had changed the character’s motivations. Initially, this change was made because I’m a woman and I’ve found I can play antagonists who are also women more convincingly. The number one change is that in my version Strahd is a woman. So first, I want to start with some changes that I made to the module that impacted the way I ran this. This makes it so the players interact with the story, rather than just listen to the DM speak. So instead I had them explore the memories in the book, similar to Tom Riddle’s Diary in Harry Potter. The Premise: I wanted to do more than read the Tome of Strahd aloud to my players.
