Arduus Ad Solem: How to Run Curse of Strahd in Four Parts

This document is a guide for running Curse of Strahd in four 4-hour sessions, which I did successfully and with an incredible amount of fun not very long ago with some careful planning. I've recorded everything necessary to do so, and with some buy-in from your players and acceptance that they will be guided in the right direction to complete the adventure in four sessions, you too can run a full Curse of Strahd campaign in just four quick sessions!

Lovingly nicknamed: the Curse of Strahd speedrun, as seen on https://www.twitch.tv/growedupgeek.

This adventure obviously cuts out a lot of the material presented in the Curse of Strahd book, and provides a strict sequence of events that the characters should follow to stay on schedule, though some deviation is, of course, allowed. Those wanting to be players in the game should avoid reading this material as it is naturally full of spoilers!

I created this shortened version of Curse of Strahd because I had a friend who wanted to play the adventure but had very little time to actually dedicate to a full campaign, and I'm very proud that I was able to come up with this! I hope you enjoy it too!
