Although the format is fairly simple, it has a loot of really useful tools to tun the adventure, all the notes always came really handy to have information for each location and encounter, thank you so much!

I must admit I am a bit disapointed with this title. First off, it only contains a portion of the content that is freely available on the author's website. If I am paying to have this in a single PDF it should at minimum contain ALL of the content. The conversion to PDF was also not done with attention to detail, having text like "you can find a map here" but no link is included.

Finally, the use of the derogatory word "gypsy" is disapointing. Nowhere in the official book is this word used for this reason I do not see why it needs to be used here.

WotC modules can be a bit to digest. Quite a bit. This guide is the summary and cliffs-notes version of the adventure. It also adds some flavour and practical advice, but the main advantage is laying out how the dots of the adventure connect. The very natural language and bullet-points make it easy to use at the table or in preparation.

Fantastic resource for keeping everything within the CoS campaign organized and interesting for the players. As a first-time DM, this guide was a priceless tool for a successful game.

Power Guides are the Cliff Notes for D&D 5e Hardcover Adventures. The Guide To Curse of Strahd.

65 pages full of preparation notes it gives the timestrapped DM an outline of how they can put this adventure together.

I have picked up all of these Power Guides now and found them invaluable in getting ready to run the official WoC Adventures.

While most of the information can be garhered by reading the actual Hard Cover Adventure, the amount of time you can save by not having to compile these notes is worth it. My only complaint would be there is too much data and not enough "white space" in the guide. It can be a tad overwhelming in some sections.

Here is an example of the sort of detail the guide goes into:

  1. Adventure Hooks: Pick a hook from the pile on pages 18-22 and run it. Here's the three that I think are kind of the "main" ones:  Plea For Help (page 18): A gypsy gives the group an invite to Ravenloft. These people are scum (check out the whipping scene on page 121).  Creeping Fog (page 22): The heroes are camping, the mists take them to Ravenloft.  Mysterious Visitors (page 19): The group investigates gypsies, are escorted through Barovia.

Areas of Barovia Gates of Barovia: (page 33) When I read about the gates, I had a picture in my head. When you look at the art of this place on page 34, it's quite more grand than the flavor text suggests. Definitely check that picture out, it will help make the beginning of this adventure bigger. Remember, the gates open and close on their own.

This is arguably one of the most useful reference documents for running the CoS campaign adventure. Sean McGovern (If you don't know who that is then why are you on this site ;P) gives a compelling breakdown of the module along with many tips, tricks, and even a fully proposed path for you to follow as you run this sandbox adventure. I would say this guide is a must to when running CoS and would strongly recommend all DMs New and Old take the time to digest this material.

This clarified so many rather daunting aspects of CoS. Brilliant!
