So one of our group wants to gather up people who have nothing to do the last week of December and hard core 10 hours a day for a week run Curse of Srahd for 5E
I'm supposed to DM and a part of me sais "Awesome" the rest of me sais "You're OLD, that will kill you"
So regardless I'm getting myself ready for it.
Things I've decided so far
Did the Fortune reading ahead of time, that way I know the basic path the group will take
Milestone Level Advancement. Death House gets them to leel 3. Each Artifact is 1 more, finding the ally is another so that covers them to level 7 and they should be 9 once they head for the final battle. Need to decide 2 other milestoens that would be good. These are going to be the level 4-6 range because (the 3 Relics ended up in the 6-8 level range).
Using a stripped down version of the Middle Earth Journey system for travel (Hex size difference is 1/4 mile vs. 10 miles so straight port seems excessive), 0-1 encounters per journey. Encounter table built using the Random encounter tables from the adventure.
Need to make certain Strahd keeps bothering them, so makeing a few Encounters where he terrorizes the group just for fun.
and of course refreshing myself on the 5E rules
Now, dose anyone who's run this or played this already have any advice
