Über diesen Titel

Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history. He turned to the first page and read:

I, Strahd, Lord of Barovia, well aware certain events of my reign have been desperately misunderstood by those who are better at garbling history than recording it, hereby set down an exact record of those events, that the truth may at last be known....

He caught his breath. By all the good gods, a personal journal?

Like many contemplating picking this book up, I’m about to start DMing Curse of Strahd. I wanted some backstory on Strahd, the major baddie in the adventure.

Did I get that backstory?

Yes, I now know about Strahd before he became a bloodsucker.

I also know how he became a vampire … kind of. Although the process is explained, the reader is left confused as to the whos and hows of the entire procedure.

There is one aspect to the Strahd‘s autobiography that is quite appealing: future motivation. Strahd is has one wish and one wish only. His inability to obtain his only desire leaves him defeated, jealous and disdainful of all the living. This tale will add pain to the way I play Strahd.

Is this a must-read for DMs? Not at all. I definitely enjoyed Strahd in revenge-mode, but there‘s a lot left undone to make this a good D&D book and / or a good vampire tale.

Loved it! Strahd is a passionate lover much more than he is a degenerate killer. A fun fact is that although this is a first person diary from a vampire, the word doesn't appear even once. Looking forward to the second part!

Perfect supplement for Curse of Strahd

Backstory for a legendary D&D character, but on its own not the most interesting story.

Great lore for a Dungeon Master!

The narrator ruined this completely. I will be reading this myself. It doesn't even sound like Paul Boehmer actually read this - it sounds like his voice was sampled and the words were put together by an AI in 1999. I can't discourage you enough from this audiobook. Get the kindle or physical version instead.
