It's cool to have an episodic backup. We just don't play when someone can't make it. It would be nice to still get together and have a game.
Curse of Strahd is truly fantastic as a setting and basic ideas but the module itself is a piece of crap.
Hammering it into shape, making sense of it, and making it all hang together has been a craptonne of work, and I've used loads of 3rd party stuff. The Curse of Strahd subreddit is AMAZING for that.
It's truly a pile of hot garbage RAW, but I'm having the time of my life customizing and making it mine.
Tell us what you are playing in or running right now!
What systems and/or campaigns are you currently actually playing? I spend so much time thinking about new systems and reading old ones, and I sometimes forget that playing is actually a part of things.
So, what are you actually playing right now?
I am currently running Curse of Strahd for two of my adult kids and two of their friends.
I am about to start a Mouseguard-like campaign in FUDGE, with my wife and all of my adult kids.
