Gameplay details
This is one of the rare evil aligned stories. So please, if you do not want to play as 'the bad guys' you have been advised. This amount of combat and exploration will be based on the player's decisions. But there will be enough for everyone. But understand, that there will be a timer on the events, Strahd is not known for his patients. A special note, you will be player as characters in the employ of an evil overlord. So please keep that in mind when opting in for this adventure. However, you you play your character is up to you the player.
