So I am a semi-new DM
And we started playing Curse of Strahd today. Noted, it was the first time I have ever run a module. I usually run homebrew oneshots and mini-campaigns, but I have to say I am already incredibly excited for this.
My party is a band of three humans (a wizard, a druid, and a cleric), a hill dwarf druid, and a lizard folk monk fighter multiclass. And, they all chose to make their characters LGBTQ men. Not a single straight guy, or female in the bunch.
First session in and I have already given the ex-dictator lizard four bottles of free wine, the greasy wizard has two new books of spells and a sticky black cursed orb, the dwarf nearly had a panic attack several times but came out of Lady Morwen’s house with several books on elves, oh and my lovely cleric has a bag full of jewels. That...they rolled incredibly low insight on what it is made of. He thinks it’s gold.
Lady Morwen’s head of security, a butch lesbian NPC my party immediately fell in love with took them to the Vistani encampment that was just outside Daggerford. The ex-dictator lizard was half tempted to agree to drink some of their liquor, but the cleric stopped him, claiming that they “needed to see the others drink from it first”. They eventually did agree to speak with Madam Eva, though there were several sad groans about the fact they couldn’t commit arson and burn down the wagons of the Vistani.
Too bad they convinced Nick, their beloved NPC, to make sure they made it safely to Madame Eva.
