Welcome traveler ! My name is Julien Ribiollet and I am a French D&D Dungeon Master and player for the DM Faction. If you are reading these lines, it's probably because you are running a Curse of Strahd campaign and because your party is walking towards Van Richten's Tower. When I first read the sourcebook for this adventure, I was surprised by how easy and weird the original puzzle was, and I decided to create a more complicated one for my players.

Bienvenue à toi voyageur ! Je suis Julien Ribiollet, un MD et joueur français pour DM Faction. Si tu lis ces lignes, c'est probablement parce que tu es en train de mener une campagne avec le scénario de La Malédiction de Strahd, et parce que tes joueurs vont arriver d'ici peu devant la tour de Van Richten. Quand j'ai lu pour la première fois le chapitre consacré à ce passage, j'ai été surpris par la facilité de l'énigme de la porte, et j'ai donc décidé de créer ma propre version pour mes joueurs.

J'espère que ce guide vous sera utile. Si cela est le cas et que vous souhaitez m'encourager à créer de nouvelles ressources, vous pouvez me laisser un petit quelque chose ici, sur le site de the DM's Guild.

The password doesn’t seem to work for the offline version, I feel like I’m missing something.

That is a fair point indeed. I have a few ideas : you might want to hide in Ezmerelda’s Magic Wagon a note that Ezmeralda herself wrote as a reminder which gives a hint on the solution. Perhaps a player can roll a Nature/History check in order to know that the stones look like amber, though blue seems not to be the right color... You can also let them fail once, and let the dragon appear. Describe the dragon as having six orange gems encrusted on the neck it will reminds them of the gems on the door.

I am coming back to this months after purchasing it and can't find the password for the interactive version. Can you advise where in the files the password is stored?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
