Absolutely fantastic product and I’m glad I can take pieces of what you’ve built and tailor-fit it to our home game. 5/5

I have run CoS about seven times and was getting quite bored despite writing some of my own scenes and tweaking between runs.
This work brought a breath of fresh air to my Barovia. The author makes respectful and compelling arguments for every specific change proposes to the 2016 1st Edition. This is the one you are looking for if you want to bring your enthusiasm for running CoS back from the dead.

Absolutely worth it and phenomenal!!! I’m a first time DM and running this campaign. This has helped flesh out pesky details, things that didn’t make sense and making my sessions run more smoothly. By far this is the number one thing you need after you buy the book.

Wonderful product! Absolutely worth picking up! I’m a newer DM running CoS and this has been invaluable for helping wrap my head around the module.

It’s a fantastic guide for CoS, it gives great plot filling ideas and ties up every story in the campaign making more sense. I’m currently using it in my game and my players and I are enjoying it’s stories very much!! You’ve done a great job Lunch Break Heroes!! Keep the engines running!!

This modification/addition to Curse of Strahd makes the adventure so much richer. I’m integrating it into the game of CoS I’m running now and it’s so great to have the sections that the original module left blank or vague filled in by Raising The Stakes. I highly recommend it!

Excellent content. Alongside the high quality videos, this has been an amazing journey taking it all in and creating so much more for the Curse of Strahd group I am running.

The ammount of depth this adds to Curse of Strahd is makes the as-written campaign look dull in camparison. Masterfully written and beautifully formatted!
