I’m playing an Elf Wizard in a friend’s monthly homebrew game, and we’ve just entered our first big dungeon - and it’s The Sunless Citadel! Which is great because I’ve heard good things & I’ve always wanted to play it.

Working through 2e's House of Strahd (in order to do a video comparing it to Curse of Strahd) has been hard work & slow-going, but I'm nearly done going through it all & taking notes. Definitely the next CoS video. Sorry it's taken a while & thanks so much for people's patience. 🙏

One year ago... 🌫️ Did the tarokka draw random & all three items ended up in Castle Ravenloft? Or they got the best item straight away?! 😱 Don't worry - there might be ways to fix it (without having to cheat or redo it)… #CurseofStrahd www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnCU...
