Curse of Strahd Is a Railroad Wearing a Gothic Horror Trench Coat | Summary Judgment

Court is now in session. Curse of Strahd has survived Docket Review, received its Summons, and is finally before the Critical Grievance RPG Tribunal for Summary Judgment. The case before the Court: Curse of Strahd is a railroad wearing a gothic horror trench coat. The charges: Count 1: Reckless Endangerment of Player Agency Count 2: Gross Negligence in Campaign Integration Count 3: Criminal Negligence in Encounter and Villain Scaling Prosecutor David brings the case. Defense David answers for Barovia. Judge David hears the arguments and issues judgment. We examine the Mists, the Tarokka reading, campaign structure, Strahd’s Brides, the amount of work pushed onto the Dungeon Master, Death House, Old Bonegrinder, Strahd himself, and whether one of 5e’s most celebrated campaigns earns its reputation despite the work required to make it sing at the table. No jury. No objections. Just judgment. If you’ve got a grievance of your own, file it with the Court.
