Running Strahd was one of the highlights of my life. This may sound strange but the 5 of us around that table truly bonded over that time. Today I found out that my nephew what’s to play D&D for the first time when he visits I, became ecstatic because I have a chance to form long lasting bonds with him and strengthen the relationship with my brother and wife ❤️
So of course I want to take them through the torment and torture that is Barovia 😂
What aspects of this world do you think an 11 year old boy will find the most exciting? Love to hear your thought!
Edit: I am fully aware of the aspects of the module that are inappropriate for a child. I ran it for over two years. I’m an adult who loves my family, my community and D&D.
Edit: ok another edit. Sorry I didn’t include this first off. This is a 3 maybe 4 session run. A back drop of horror, vampires, toy makers and mystery seems like it would be exciting for the little guy! The bad guys will never kill him. The female NPCs will be strong and independent. There will be no murder, sex or drug use.
