I enjoed this guide a lot. The biggest plus for me is the author adding the new lore from Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft into the campaign. Ever since VRGtR came out it's bothered me how it seems vanilla Curse of Strahd contradicts info presented in it. Also some other changes like having Ismark being the long lost brother of Izek is great and helps fix a problem I had with the original plot thread.
