Strahd lives for crushing hopes. He wants PCs to think they have a chance.

He wants to crush heroes, part of that is making PCs believe they are indeed heroic

Can my vampire gnome bard be chaotic good? Is that a thing? @ChrisPerkinsDnD #DnD #TwitterKnowsBest #NotABaddy

Does she drink the blood of other gnomes? If so, I'd allow it. (Just kidding.) Seriously, though, anything is possible in D&D. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/qQ050mrjAg

@ChrisPerkinsDnD My Curse of Strhad party want to accept the resurrection gift and use it on Argynvost. Is that ok? It feels wrong ( + OP)

— Xander Blackburn (@XanderJaraxxus) August 11, 2017

Sounds like fun. Other groups have done the same thing. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/Upbp4JflUd

The resurrection spell requires a 1,000-gp diamond as a material component. #WOTCstaff

— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) August 12, 2017

Does that mean the vistani and duskelfs spend 4,000-gp to resurrect the wafflecrew? They spend a diamond on a mouse??

— Marie-Elisa (@MarieElisaBecke) August 12, 2017

Yes they did, all because they wanted to help Strix! Good friends, those dusk elves. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/kLxiqz9Umj

Could the gift be used on Strahd's mother or father?

— Scarlet Moth (@ThatScarletMoth) August 12, 2017

Strahd's mother died a natural death, so the spell wouldn't work on her. His father, however, was killed in battle. #resurrection #wotcstaff https://t.co/6JyuRc3l7y

@ChrisPerkinsDnD Hypothetical: An evil party in Barovia sets out to exterminate all the ppl. Would Strahd intervene? Protect his food?

— David Hall (@doublefakedavid) October 9, 2017

He might offer wealth, power, and immortality to one, and watch them destroy each other for the prize. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/d8OuYvCfE2

@ChrisPerkinsDnD I'm doing Curse of strahd as a dm for my first time any advice? #wafflecrew

— Todd Kennedy (@DarkestFortune) August 2, 2017

I suggest you read Bram Stoker's Dracula (the novel) or watch the Coppola movie. Both handle the vampire's torment well. #wotcstaff https://t.co/ToQTLghnbP

Good god, Willem Dafoe was amazing in that. My second favorite vampire film after Bram Stoker's Dracula.

— Jilly T (@lerogue) August 2, 2017

The Lost Boys. That's my favorite vampire film. Y'know, for the record. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/xq68h1rUXo

Fright Night.

Roddy McDowell as "Peter Vincent" is an inspiration. Solid, funny work by Chris Sarandon. The young actors were whiny as hell, though. https://t.co/7JcQpITf9P

— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) August 2, 2017

Although that Coppola film could have handled Jonathan's torment a bit better #whoa #dude

— John F. Quirk (@JOHNFQUIRK) August 2, 2017

I love Keanu, but he was whoa-fully miscast in that film. https://t.co/nZrEGVFdOM

— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) August 2, 2017

Near Dark is definitely in my top 3

— Mike Thepiper (@MThepiper) August 2, 2017

I fell in love with Kathryn Bigelow after she directed Near Dark and Point Break. Love those films! https://t.co/fZjYCj39tE

Do you have a favorite non-Barovia-based Ravenloft module? I'm a big fan of Web of Illusion, but we went pretty off-book when we did it.

The Created, an adventure by Bruce Nesmith in which the characters are transformed into marionettes and trapped in a toy store. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/OLOm40M7MI
