Holy crap. Such a good history, told from Strahd's own mouth about where he came from, how he came to be a vampire, and how the history of Barovia has been altered by his hand. So many good quotes, and stories. It's really cool to get a better idea of what Strahd himself is like, and I will be incorporating this into my COS campaign. If any of my players read this... You're not allowed to read it yet!! Too many spoilers for the campaign! But it is a really good read for after.
