This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

They may go with the draw three method used in the original Ravenloft module.  The Location, a boon for the party, and Strahd's ultimate goal. I hope they go with something more robust than that.

They got the original creator to work on it...  Make of that what you will.

There's a podcast where they got Mr. Hickman to get and explain what he wanted to do with this version of Strahd.  He was, at the very least, a consultant for the adventure, and he gives the impression during the interview that they talked a LOT about how to go about it.

Again, though, make of that what you will.

Well, that's good, but at the same time its not a great hope that it will be a far more creative and freeform type of adventure structure than the original.
