I think we are roughly at final battle type situation for Friday, with ending one way or the other. May require a little extra time to finish.

I rolled to determine the campaign and the result was that the ceiling fell and everyone died, sorry.

Except Koban who made his dex save and didn't even take half damage.

Biggus Dickus rises from the rubble, dusts himself off, adjusts the weird staff on his back, and heads to the throne room without checking on any of you.

Just curious as it's a bit late, but why didn't we just move the session to tonight?

I would be a yes, but maybe we can set a deadline on Gordon's maybe so we can make other plans? Gordo, will you have a better idea of your availability by 4 p.m. EST?

Let's cancel then.

I have to get up early for a golf tournament and I need to mow after work. Now I won't need to rush around tonight.

I'm going to cross post this to the PC thread to not shit up D&D.

But, I'm dying laughing over here.

A new version, a more PC version, of Curse of Strahd is being released as a box set.
https://www.ign.com/articles/dnd-curse- ... l-unboxing

Key "fixes":
The Vistani are racist to gypsies. And have been removed.

Izek maybe removed too as a bad depiction of a "disabled" character? Maybe Cyrus too?

There are probably other changes. Maybe the Hags are racists towards bakers.
The updates to the adventure itself mostly consist of previously-published amendments to the book, such as tweaks to an additional character option or corrections of printing errors, but the most notable updates are to some items that were deemed insensitive or offensive after the original publishing, particularly in regard to a disabled character and the depiction of a group of nomadic NPCs known as Vistani. A recent post on the D&D website explains that, "regrettably, their depiction echoes some stereotypes associated with the Romani people in the real world," and that the team wanted to avoid depicting them in a way that relied on "reductive tropes."


As such, several sections of explicitly problematic text have been removed and/or altered*. "Curse of Strahd [Revamped] specifically address pain points around the Vistani and around this disabled character, and there were small other issues to resolve as well," Perkins said. "We wanted to clean that up a bit and remove some stuff that the fans didn't particularly like in terms of representation and how they were depicted – it's that sort of very granular-but-important change.

Wanton killing and death and baking children into pastries is fine, but you'd better mind your manners about it.
