Special shout-out to
Josh - 3rd Place
The contest asked for each person to prep The Delian Tomb. The person who could get the closest to my style would be the winner, and Nyx and Alanna blew it out of the water! I may have even picked up a thing or two that you'll see in future releases!
Once Nyx and Alanna are up to speed, I'll be able to focus my efforts on expanding Advent's Amazing Advice and I can't wait for you to see all the wild things I have planned!

Now onto releases for last month!
Curse of Strahd (Updated) - As you all know I've been using Curse of Strahd Reloaded as the base for prepping Curse of Strahd. Dragna Carta is truly amazing with his work and is taking CoS to the next level; however in order to reach that level, it takes quite a bit of time. I've done my best to match my notes to his current releases, but often, each update requires me to go back and make quite a few revisions. This month I went through updating all of my notes; adding well over 10 pages of prep with everything combined and had to rework quite a few parts. Having to do these revisions takes time away from other prep. Because of this I'll be temporarily pausing my prep for this campaign until CoS:Reloaded gets to a more finished state.
Not to worry though, I'll be diverting my efforts to finishing my updates for the first half of Phandelver and below followed by prepping the final starter set which I've been holding off on: Dragon of Icespire Peak! Should Reloaded not be completed by the time I finish prepping this Mini-Campaign, I have something else in mind that I think you'll all look forward to!!!
If you've been using my prep for CoS up to this point, please go back and redownload everything in order to be caught up to the most recent version!
Candlekeep Mysteries (A Deep and Creeping Darkness) - A Deep and Creeping Darkness came to Candlekeep with another group of adventurers, given to them by a villager who found it among her grandfather's old possessions. Her grandfather, a traveling bard in his youth claimed to have written it. Though appearing to be nothing more than a combination of diary and penny dreadful, the book satisfied the requirement of a unique work to grant that party entrance to Candlekeep. It chronicles the death of a mountain village called Vermeillon by slow, unknown means. Following a terrible accident in the platinum mine, survivors and other villagers began disappearing. Eventually, Vermeillon's population all vanished or fled, leaving the village abandoned...They never discovered the cause. It will be up to your players to uncover the truth!
The Delian Tomb - This adventure begins in a small hamlet in the backwater of the kingdom, it's a quiet place...most of the time. Recently, there has been an influx of goblins in the region and some of the foul creatures have even begun attacking the farms in the outskirts of the village of Villane. Your players are all friends from a nearby village, traveling to Bedegar, in search of adventure. It isn't long before they find themselves mixed up in the business of Goblins and pursuing the daughter of the Blacksmith into the depths of a long-forgotten tomb. This is their opportunity to prove themselves, and to rescue someone in need...if they can survive the perils of the Delian Tomb!
It is wild to think we've come this far! It's only the start of the year, but I'm so excited to see what the rest of it brings! Thank you so much for your support! It means the world to me!!!
Cheers,
Advent
