Beware I walk these lands.
« on: September 25, 2013, 06:35:53 PM »
So, I've seen signs on the Svalich road from Count Strahd that says he walks his lands.  Does he?  I've never seen it, thankfully at that, but does a DM ever take Strahd out for a stroll as the signs would indicate?  WOuld definitely be an "oh crap moment" while making the run from Vallaki to the Village/Tser pool to run into the big guy out for a midnight jog.

Check out I, Strahd it is a homage to that. Ties in heavily with what it means to be a Darklord and his particularly style of governance and keeping tabs.

Yup. I quoted the sign directly. Early on in Strahd's "darklordship" he came across some thieves and slaughtered them, then made the sign. At the time he was very "hands on." He's become a bit of a recluse since then, preferring to delegate most of the ruling while he spends time on his projects.

I use him only sparingly (although lately it's probably been too sparingly). A little of him goes a long way. As stated above, he is canonically a recluse. He will make an appearance if something is a direct threat or a personal affront.

I like to imagine this as Strahd in sweatpants and a jersey of some variety, listening to Madonna's Material Girl.

I like to imagine Strahd like Manny the fake gangster in GTA 4
