The Curse of Strahd Companion is your comprehensive guide to running 5th Edition's greatest and grimmest campaign. The Companion dives through every chapter of Curse of Strahd and incorporates Wyatt Trull's mithral-bestselling module, The Wedding at Ravenloft as the campaign's climax. This chapter overhauls Castle Ravenloft.
- The Castle Ravenloft Map Flowchart. This chapter includes a free copy of Wyatt Trull's bestselling aid to help you better navigate Castle Ravenloft.
- The Devil's Playbook. A deep dive into Strahd's tactics, spells, strategies, ploys, and minions for when the gloves are at last off. The Devil's Playbooks includes encounters, tricks, ambushes, and plays Strahd may employ to whittle down your players.
- To Dine at Castle Ravenloft. For campaigns that actually do accept Strahd's invitation to dine at Castle Ravenloft early, this storyline features wining, dining, dancing, lessons in history, and a long soliloquy of Strahd's concerning the murder of his brother Sergei. This event is designed for adventurers around 5th level, after St. Andral's Feast unfolds.
- In the Depths of Ravenloft. The Companion advocates an early foray into Castle Ravenloft at about 7th-level, when the players are strong enough to weather its dangers but still too weak to challenge Strahd. Breaching Castle Ravenloft's teleportation network (by accident or by design) the heroes are dropped into the Brazier Room and allowed to explore the dungeons and catacombs before inevitably being caught by Rahadin. The adventurers must then escape via teleportation.
- Dramatis Personae. A handy guide detailing all characters featured in this chapter of the campaign, with advice and variants.
- Areas of Note. A guide to swiftly running the chapter's areas.
- DM Notes. Notes including but not limited to spicing up the region with valuable roleplay with select NPCs.
- Magic Item Descriptions. Save yourself the time of digging through the Dungeon Master's Guide to determine how the magic items in this chapter work.
- Monster Stats. Time is precious, and matters all the more in combat. Appendix B has the statistics for the NPCs used in this chapter!
