I've spent the last two years running two D&D Curse of Strahd campaigns simultaneously, because I have absolutely no chill. But in my defense, it's easily one of the best Dungeons & Dragons storylines around – which is why I'm not surprised it continues to be amongst the most popular modules today, even a decade after it was first published.
Seeing as the adventure is turning 10 in 2026 and still feels as beloved as ever (to the point that it's something of a rite of passage for many groups running the best tabletop RPGs), I thought it might be helpful to jot down what I've learned from running many, many Curse of Strahd sessions. How can you make your life behind the Dungeon Master's screen a little easier? What add-ons are worth considering? I've got plenty of recommendations.
