DAY 15: Describe a Tricky RPG experience you enjoyed.
Back in my later college days, my old High School DM had moved down to my own. We were not gaming together at this point; I was working on getting into grad school and he had a new girlfriend if I remember right.
But anyway he invited me over to help him run the "Nightmares of Barovia" adventure option found in I10: Ravenloft II House on Gryphon Hill.
He introduced me to his group and we began. I ran Ravenloft II and everytime they characters fell asleep he would pick up with the same characters in Ravenloft I6.
We had to keep track of various things that players were totally oblivious too.
We played it at a marathon session over a Halloween Weekend. This was back when my school (SIU) through some pretty notorious Halloween parties, but the city had shut it all down the university was send everyone home.
The adventures were great, individually. Together...welll I don't think anyone at TSR actually ran the "Nightmare" option. But it was great. Though by hour 36-38 I was done.
Still it was hard, lots of juggling and so, so much fun as a DM. I would do it again in the drop of a hat, but I'dd need someone that whose style would be a good match for this. Plus we would need to meet ahead to discuss how to handle things not covered in the two adventures.
I'd also need a group of players that know of Strahd, but never played anything with him in it. Or at least never played I6 or I10.
It would be fantastic!
